It baffles me that the government harms our economy by forcing us to buy hemp from other countries?? Why isn’t it legal to grow hemp, yet it is legal to purchase hemp products? (BTW for those who don’t know you can’t smoke Hemp it wont get you high, and you can’t grow hemp and marijuana (to hide marijuana growth) because the hemp plants are male and female; and marijuana plants are only females and they would be damaged by the male hemp plants) http://votehemp.com/

Your right about most of your info. Your wrong about one little thing though. In the states people smoke buds, which only comes from the female plants. In Europe, the Middle East, and Asia they smoke a lot of hash. Which is made of any kind of cannibus plant. You boil it in water and all the greases float to the top. They scrape it off and BLAMO! You get stoned. The criminalization of refer was started by (so the story goes) the US paper companies. They don't want to compete with hemp. Which is why they are both still illegal.
The more you know!
Holy crap balls. This Bromide charactor is cracking me up. Plant...what major? What college is that? Louisiana Technical Baptist Appalachian State University? If you actually knew what you were talking about you would have set us straight with your superior plant knowledge. Not simply said she was wrong. Half-wit. Cannibus is a male and a female plant. The female flowers, and the tiny little males fertilize. If the flowers (the part people smoke) gets fertilized all the delicious buds turn into seeds. This can be minimized with a lot of attention, but it certainlyy takes a lot of work. Anyone who is serious about growing buds or preventing the harvest of buds could tell the difference between a bud plant and a hemp plant. This Bromide charactor is probably like 14 with an older sister in "botanist" studies.

Numerous individual states have expressed interest in industrial hemp . Fifteen states have passed pro-hemp legislation; seven (Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota and West Virginia) have removed barriers to its production or research. North Dakota has issued state licenses, the first in fifty years, to two farmers so far.

Why do potheads always make it sound like hemp is a miracle plant.
It's just a fibrous weed with low THC concentration, that can be bred to have higher concentrations, hence the illegality. It's not an economic miracle, wonder fiber, miracle drug. Get over it.
BTW, I am all for the legality of Marijuana. I say, legalize it and tax the hell out of it.

I'm not sure that's correct, but you might be right. I'm not trying to pick a fight. I recall picking "Wisconsin swamp grass" out of a field near Madison Wisconsin in 1969. This was before the hemp eradication efforts got underway. It used to grow wild from old fields left over from world war 2. They used it for rope. After drying in a Laundromat dryer, it was the real thing.

If we grew hemp here it would affect certain industries here that pay good money to politicians. Too bad we don't have a government that represents we the people.

I was not aware that growing hemp was illegal. If it is legal, I do not see what the problem is.

Marijuana is a drug.
It's illegal and it should be. Heaven help my sons if I ever catch them with it.
