Seemingly mindless and uncontrollable event/movement/or person. Originated from the attention garnered by Ingrid Betancourt in 2008 despite the fact that she did nothing to deserve honors or such massive attention.
"They just gave Billy a car! He always got the Betancourt Effect because he was the first born"
The mild rumors that US beef had mad cow disease were under the Betancourt Effect when people started to violently protest in South Korea

Cannabis.
-Produce 4 times more cellulose (to make paper) than wood on the same surface every season (a tree takes years to be usable).
-Its fiber is better than cotton AND ecological. Used to make anything that use fibers (clothes, accessories, rope, etc).
-Cultivation-wise it has the qualities of a "bad" weed : hardy, prolific, low maintenance (ecological and economic).
-Produce a healthy cooking oil. The oil can also be used for fuel.
-Quality, tasty food, drinks and protein can be made from it.
-Marijuana has a wide range of medical uses (painkiller, anti-glaucoma, appetite stimulant for cancer and AIDS patients, etc). With no nasty side effect.
-Cool looking leaf. Decorative and symbolic.
-Last but not least. The safest recreational drug. Would prolly be voted The best recreational drug in a worldwide poll.
Personally I use it only to get high (you prolly do too) but the other uses make a lot of people and the environment happy too.
