Well this is what it takes to change things is to get in the face of those who make and enforce stupid laws. Industrial hemp makes ropes and clothes and we need all the industries we can get that are natural and give our people jobs.
Good luck to them, petition signed.

Let's hope we can change congress. Right now there are so many policies that need to be changed and, as we know, Congress is SLOW. I would love to have hemp clothes, carpet, rope, etc. They can grow it without using pesticides and products from it can be made without using toxic chemicals. It also can be a product from which everyone can make a decent profit and still make an affordable product for the consumer.
OH MAN. I just read what I wrote. HEMP will NEVER be legal in the U.S.!!!!!!!!! (Sarcasm-but do believe that is an issue)

Not making the most of this kind of hemp is like cutting off your nose to spite your face - how stupid some laws can be! Heavy sigh.

There is a wonderful documentary available from Netflix entitled "Hemp Revolution". I had no idea how truly wonderful hemp is! Hemp is the answer to sustainable living! Thanks for the story. Peace. ;)

WHY in the USA don't WE UTILIZE HEMP!!!
and other MATTER of "PAPER" goods... instead of "Our" TREES!!!

IT IS CRIMINAL in My opinion THAT "We CITIZENS" are FORCED to HAVE the TREES CUT DOWN... TORN APART... and THE OTHER PRODUCTION is REFUSED!!!

WE SUFFER, the PEOPLE OF NATIONS SUFFER... BECAUSE of???

I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY IT... "IF the ones that THINK THEY WILL CONTROL whether "HEMP" and or THE UTILIZATION of marijuana" for WHATEVER PRACTICAL PURPOSE that CITIZENS WANT!!! (and has been PROVEN good for : ANXIETY (with LESS complications than the DOPE from the PHARMACIES PUSHED ON PEOPLE!!!) DEPRESSION (again SAME FACTS APPLIED!!!) and other PRACTICAL PURPOSE...

if THEY thought they COULD get away with it:
NOR WOULD AMERICANS___
grow their OWN tomatoes
grow their OWN beans
GROW WHATEVER OTHER HERBS HAVE HEALING PROPERTIES!!!

and there is NO GOOD SENSE in the VIOLATIONS on CITIZENS LIVES
to ENSNARE people WANTING THEIR HEALTH to be BETTER...

NO GOOD SENSE in the GAMES of LIES about "POT"... !
Most HEAVIER DRUG USERS INSIST TO ME... it was ALCOHOL that was the culprit
OR CIGARETTES!

and Marijuana came later on... and the ALCOHOL and cigarettes CAUSED the "DRUG USE" issues ... yet, HOW often does "CERTAIN ONES" of the USA government LEND AN EAR to HONESTY and the INTEGRITY of THE CITIZENS!!!

I have heard how many PEOPLE complain too... in ALCOHOL related CRIME there is the DRUNK DRIVER, the ABUSIVE husband, the VIOLENT boyfriend... though RARELY associated to A MARIJUANA SMOKER... !

LEGALIZE.
don't PENALIZE!
