Wouldn't all those companies just use cannabis to make all those things? If it is cheaper or better that means more profits. You could technically make clothes out of human hair, that does not mean human hair is a threat to cotton. I bet now that cannabis is legal in some states it won't be used for any of those things. Except medicine.
The current systems and contracts in place prevent them from doing so. Not to mention the current stance the government has taken over the years to demonize this so-called drug. Revoking it would turn them into hypocrites, and after years of indoctrinating the tax-payers, to prevent public outrage from the zealous masses.
If "current systems and contracts [that are] in place prevent" companies from using this miracle plant to manufacture all of these goods, then why would they supposedly spend money making sure it stays illegal? If there are no "systems" in place to efficiently process cannabis on a mass scale, then why would they be worried about it?
Ever wonder on 'why' they call it "weed"? Cause it grows like one. You don't need much in order to grow a fuck-ton. Those exact companies have lobbied against this plant years ago with false propaganda, and set forth countless of lobbyists with deals that most, if not, all major pharmaceutical companies profit from till this day. The first cars also ran on oil made from hemp, they have a major stock in this as well. So yeah, they are currently not worried as much, but with all this information floating around, people are continuously getting better informed, until they start pressuring their government. Unfortunately, there is still too much political and religious dogma surrounding.
