Any argument the prohibitionists have can be destroyed! I've actually had people revert to anger and calling me a "pothead" when they know I have killed their stance! Lol. I haven't smoked in over a decade!

Yeah, usually when you shut them down is when they resort to the name calling and the "lazy stoner" references. They're the equivalent of a child throwing a tantrum or someone sticking their fingers in their ears and yelling "LA LA LA LA LA LA!"

Funny, if I ever ran for congress, my district is like 65-70% Democrat, but would would economically boom from the legalization of hemp, I would gladly support legalization if elected, this district has a 40% unemployment rate, I wonder if I could possibly get any kind of D vote with that position.

the problem with legalizing industrial hemp only is that it would be hard to distinguish from the stuff grown for THC content. just legalize the species, period.

Are you wasting money when you buy nylon rope?

Hemp is not exactly a corporate material.

Hell, you can't even patent hemp.

What good is it?

Besides, a war culture runs on adrenalin, not serotonin.

Yeah it seems pretty unanimous! I see that there are now 2 votes in favor of hemp prohibition, but I assume those votes were in jest since neither person has tried to defend their position.

Of all the nations on Earth whose economy should center on hemp, the U.S.A. should be it.

Instead, it went tobacco, then oil.

We need to keep Monsanto out of the weed, out of the loop, out of the business.
