I drove past this between Salida and Cotopaxi on State Highway 50 in Colorado. I had to turn around and tell whoever that I stood with them totally assuming I was correct. I was and got the biggest hug of appreciation for doing so.

From my understanding, there are close to 3000 children being held around this country after being seized from their parents at the border.

Many will never see their Mom and Dad again because Republicans are totally evil.

You bastards!

Some Oglala Lakota Hope Hemp Can Yield A Stable Government And A Healthy Economy

On the Pine Ridge Reservation, population 30,000, unemployment runs 85 percent, hundreds of tribal members are homeless, and the majority of those who aren’t live in overcrowded housing built by the federal government. The median annual income is $2,600; most people live on welfare checks and on food provided by the federal government.

Sounds real good to me. The idea that industrial hemp cannot be cultivated is outright fucking stupid and has been for years and given the situation over all and the positives this plant has it makes the position of this and past administrations ludicrous as usual. What are the Feds gonna do run 'em off the reservation or maybe send the FBI up there with some armor piercing ammo like in the old days? No matter what if these guys persist which I hope they do punisment will be metered out in one way or another. During WWII the cornfield(Iowa) was the leading hemp producer in the nation. It continues to grow wild many places.

    Great post. You know who made it so that hemp stopped being cultivated, right?

    I probably should but I guess I don't at least off hand.

    Feel free to educate.

    Hey, thanks for your comments. I'm definitely in favor of the Lakota having territorial sovereignty to grow hemp but unfortunately it isn't going to be allowed under present UN conventions, as it has been explained to me. Those conventions must be changed.

    By the way, I think there are some very good legal arguments to the contrary and possibly very weak legal arguments to the positive, but it doesn't seem to matter much. The pretense of law is really what is going on here, where the unstated goal is colonial acquisition or extermination.
