In the 40's tons and tons of hemp was grown in Kansas (and in most other agricultural areas of the country) to aid in the war effort.

In the 60's I was stationed in Kansas for a couple of months for training. It was noted that wild hemp was growing all over the place in ditches etc. No one ever bothered to harvest it because the THC content was so low that smoking it had no effect.

As for the "good stuff'', that should be immediately 100% legalized. To clog the courts and jails with pot smokers is pure folly.

A coworker of mine (a fellow FLEO) had a young wife in the last stages of cancer. He illegally obtained MJ for her every week to ease her nausea and pain. She died six weeks later. Had this act of kindness and mercy been detected by the agency he would have been fired on the spot...such stupidity on the part of our government.    

Henry Ford used Hemp in some of his cars. Its a great building material also.

Hemp isnt pot. Hemp only has enough THC to be found in a lab. You know, its got enough in it to find in a lab, but NOT enough to catch a buzz.
BUT, since that Horrible Chemical can be found, it MUST be made illegal,,
However, toxic things, absolute poisons, can be found in our water, yet, theyre in low enough concentration to NOT Kill US today, SO, its called "Inconsequential" & the water is deemed Okay!
No conflict in thinking there, thank you government,,

I would be SO much happier if I could just accept the truith as presented to me by my loving government. Jerry, I am TRYING!

but it makes dollars to keep it illegal.

Thats what got it Made illegal. Once upon a time, it was a commonplace crop. Go to Houston,, Theres a road down there named Hempstead Highway,,now, how do suppose it got that name?

Uhh,, thats a BIG "No Duuhhhh".. Now, to get the masses to understand that..

Ya know, that just may be cortrect.. IDK for sure, but there seem to be plenty here who get it.
