I think there are some medicinal uses in germany as well. But I've never seen/heard of some doctor prescribing these drugs to someone. I'm sure it would be some more effectiveness when this stuff would be legalized in odd amounts. The state could earn money (taxes) f.e. . It could help in many different groups of objects. (researching about many different sicknesses, creating papers, oil, ropes, margarine, soap, joints/gaskets, houses, etc..) It's also some good point to decrease the crime rate in germany and to create places of employments.
