Why is Marijuana illegal even though it is shown to have medical purposes?

Before you answer, why is a drug that has little physical dependence, and is proven to assist in medical purposses illegal? If Oxycontin is prefered over heroin in abusers, why is this medication legal even though it is far more dangerous and addictive that marijuana? Alcohol is a better example to justify the hipocracy….
Marijuana has little if any legitimate medical use. Plus there is no money to be made from it by the big pharmaceutical companies.

because hemp is so diverse that it threatens the economy that the US govt. is too invested in. If hemp were to become legal it would replace things like paper, gasoline, clothing hemp is so diverse it can be turned into ALOT ALOT ALOT!!
If they were really smart about it, they’d legalize it ( well my state has for medical peeps, i’m in california ) and then profit off of it, but the american govt. is slow sometimes…really slow. They’re probably smokin’

Its due to the fact that they make money off of tickets and sellin those prescriptions. Just like some pimple creams my aunt found that is illegal, it has no illegal substances and actually works but since so many big company’s make money of of there crappy products they wont want this sold in the us, the company’s pay so that the product is not allowed in the US
Also there are so many home growers there would be almost no way to regulate it so no money will be made by the government.
