thanks for the vid. It was fascinating.

:hi:

The banning of hemp was a true crime.




But really...the bickering over how this video was posted is a waste of bandwidth.Use that energy to discuss the ways to promote real change in drug policy...or health care reform...or some other worthy effort.

Thank You...carry on........

Seemed a little obsessive, "overreactionee" bully on the playground to me (why bother?) but I don't back down from crap around here, especially when I have a bit of free time, waiting for vids to download ;)

great video. And Yes, Weed Can!

...but I do agree that it could be another very important piece in easing some of the strain on our natural resources.

Dupont probably did influence early legislation. And there are many valid uses for hemp fibers and oil. But it is ridiculous to suggest it could completely replace fossil fuel to power internal combustion engines. We would have to plant hemp from sea to shining sea. But we should get rid of the hysteria surrounding marijuana.

I'm not a hemp enthusiast, nor am I a pot smoker (I can't stand it). But, the banning of hemp and criminalization of marijuana are two separate issues that fly in the face of common sense and research studies.
