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!

Conservative Farmers Appeal To Grow Industrial Hemp

Two North Dakota farmers will ask a federal appeals court in St. Paul on Wednesday to allow them to grow hemp on their farms, even though the federal government says it's illegal. "I think the market has explosive potential," Bronner says. "As soon as hemp goes into the ground here, it'll be a massive boost. If you look at Canada, where they don't have this draconian, absurd drug policy, there's mass penetration of hemp into the market."

It's my hope that common sense and reality can be incorporated into decision making with our new president so that on the issue of growing industrial hemp draconian rules are thrown out and this crop can be grown legally. This is a no brainer and a winner all the way around and years over due.

The heartland and in particular Iowa produced and processed hemp on a massive scale for the Second World War effort. This plant still grows wild all over the damn place. It would grow well in many places in this country. The Drug War just like the terrorist war cannot be won ever. Prohibition does not work!

    Man I can smell that from here. Love it! It should be legal and it only is not because all those with the money have it in booze and do not want the competition. Believe it or not my brother use to work at a hemp plant in Maine. They grew Hemp and made large ropes. One of my friends is 65 and lives in California moving there in the mid 60s. You know the rest! Take care!

    It's too bad that the public doesn't understand the difference between hemp and the stuff folks like to smoke. There are a lot of small farmers who could benefit if allowed to grow industrial hemp - it's a hell of a useful plant and does well without all the chemicals that are needed to produce bumper crops of soybeans and corn.
    I hope their appeal is successful.

    You can't even get high on industrial hemp. It's a useful crop that doesn't strip the soils like corn. Right now in CA is the Mexican drug cartels that are growing marijuana in the Nat'l forests. Hmmmm. How about some unemployed Americans boot those fuckers out of OUR forests and start growing a useful crop on OUR land. We'll make rope and clothes and all kinds of stuff. :)

    while i agree with nunya about the virtues of hemp, i disagree with the option to boot the mexican cartels. to me, we're on their land and knowing that their soil is still bringing them subsistence takes away a very small amount of guilt from OUR manifest destiny.

    enriquecerse, mi amigos. gracias.

    Industrial Hemp doesn't have the THC that is smoked and a hallucinogen. It can be made into clothing, paper (think of the trees saved) and many other useful products. Keeping it off the market is economically stupid.

    mark c, you've never competed with pollos for work, have you?

    Fuck that liberal white guilt shit, I'm part Indian, and NO, I'm not eligible for casino $.

    Nunya, good call on the guess that I've never competed with pollos, assuming that you're referring to Mexicans.

    But if I did, it would be on my own personal merits and have nothing to do with race, nationality, gender, or any other category that I fit.

    Not meaning to guilt trip anybody but the fact is European influence has conquered the cultures of indigenous folk from this continent.

    Now, let's not focus on our differences here any longer. Instead, we can focus on our similarities.

    Starting a non-profit to legalize hemp and provide under-served societies with the tools and knowledge to grow their own food, clothing, shelter, and medicine. Visit HempOnLand.org for more info.

    Cheers!
