Weed is illegal for a number of reasons, but few as big as DOW CORP. Marijuana and its sister hemp are both considered by the fed to be illegal substances because of what they are. You can't patent anything that grows naturally. However, DOW CORP. owns several hundred patents based on the naturaly occuring fiberous structure of hemp. If marijuana is legalized, hemp will be too. DOW will lose their asses on it. The reason DOW is such a big player in the scene is because they are a huge contributor to both the Reps and Dems during every election. Google this or look into it further: There are places in the US where hemp clothing is both illegal to sell or posess. Scary.

Plus there's always that war on drugs shit they talk about.
