There's another big lobby party though: logging companies. Hemp is a very versatile fiber that can be used to make building material, clothing, and most notably paper. In fact it's a lot cheaper for consumers to grow hemp for paper than cut down forests to make it. This of course makes loggers (particularly the Pacific Northwest) very very angry because if hemp becomes the norm their destructive business would fold (pun intended). By lobbying against marijuana they also put harsh growing restrictions on hemp- meaning it will never be large enough an operation to cut in on paper markets.

Hemp is already legal in most of the world, Canada is a major producer. The US is just one of the odd countries where hemp is illegal.
