(It is safe to mention cash crops such as apples and oranges, isn't it, without some discussion about how we are consuming too many sugars in this society?! )

Hemp is already a retail and taxed product in the USA... I suppose the only thing really missing is few federally legal hemp farms??

A couple of farmers missing out? Tell em to farm grapes with their federal welfare subsidy instead.

The hemp argument is really kind of thin when not looked at through red puffy eyes.

There is no huge demand for hemp products and this is not the windfall the pot heads claim. The demand for whats out there is already there and readily available. This stuff is a novelty. Go to the mall novelty store and get all the hemp underwear you want right now, today. I googled it, there are hemp stores in Texas. Has this been a huge windfall for texas? Your legal hemp stuff?


Do you have lots of hemp stuff? Its great right? You must own much.


The real money, if one wanted to make money off of pot, is in pot. Not hemp. Hemps there, it means nothing and is a total straw man argument. There is little to no market for hemp garbage unless you want to run around with your "legalize hemp" tshirt on, made out of hemp... which ironically, was legally manufactured and purchased in the USA.

My original post simply had to do with the hypocrisy of a culture who defends the growing and smoking of one plant in spite of its drug (tobacco/nicotine), while going to great lengths to villify the other(hemp/THC) even though it can be a very useful plant with the psycoactive chemical absent in its growth. I think you have helped to prove my point.

You think tobacco and nicotine arent villified?!?

lol.

really?

Had you read my previous post, you would have noted that I said they were "everywhere." I didn't even need to Google, Cuil, Bing or otherwise search to know that. These neo-hippie stores are far from what I am talking about, but since you seemed obsessed with them and the drug, I know there is little that I can do to help you see what it is that I am talking about.

Socially, of course it is. However, it is still a legally grown and protected crop, that just happens to contribute to the deaths of around 5 million people per year.

Actually, the real money would be as an alternative sustainable fuel source, as well as a sustainable alternative building material. But, I will cease to cast my pearls. Go ahead, enjoy the last word......

Its as viable a fuel source material as excess celery, rotten tomatoes, and corn schucks.

Just because you can take rocks and mortar and throw in some hemp doesnt make it a brick maker.

Its a viable brownie maker in the same regard as a viable fuel source and building material.

You "hemp will save the planet" folks need to lay off the stuff for a bit. It is not the savior.

There are models for legalization of everything.... it doesnt work out as you guys pretend it does. All one has to do is look where its legal and see if the sky has split open and everything is wonderful... the garden of Eden of legal drugs does not exist. And even hemp is not helping the countries where it is legal as a fuel source and brick... in the end, all it was..

"We legalized hemp and all we got was a few lousy tshirts".
