Hemp farming uses the male pot plant which does not contain any THC which is the active ingredient in the female pot plant that causes the “high”.

Shows you exactly how far down into the gutter the morals of this country have gone. They wouldn’t dare nullify Federal law on abortion or queers marrying one another, but growing hemp, now that’s worth taking a stand on.

It’s about time. Our store shelves have plenty of hemp twine....imported of course.
To: central_va
Industrial hemp has zero THC. Or so close to zero, you don’t know the difference.
Actually I tend to think that industrial hemp was declared illegal in part by the plastics industry.

You are quite correct good sir!
Dupont lobbied very heavily for a war on hemp to replace it's use with synthetic fibers. This was during and just after world war II.

Well, you can’t nullify Federal Law. Period.
Having said that, perhaps this isn’t in direct conflict. I haven’t read the Fed statute.
I do agree with the new law in my old home state.
Why on Earth some of these States don’t work to convince their Congressional delegations to do this is beyond me. Maybe they do, but I haven’t seen it.
To: Rashputin
You do know there’s no THC in hemp right?
Like apples and oranges. No moral depravity involved.
