I would have no problem making hemp legal, If we established the level of THC that made the plant illegal. That along with field test kits for Agg. department enforcement should solve the problem.

Yes, I would think that is an accurate interpretation of what he said. Well, it appears that we have about half of what you desire--although in a complex technologically and economically advanced civilaztion like ours, it would be difficult to cut out the special interests. They often provide an extra-governmental system of checks and balances. They also breed corruption.

That being said, it is part of the price we pay for our system. We pay a price for our freedoms (and forgive me if I sound like I'm lecturing to you because you are obviously bright and well read and I don't mean to), such as having my kids listen to stuff I don't want them to (First Amendment) and the ability of criminals to easily obtain handguns (Second Amendment). It becomes the lesser of prices to be paid if we did not have the Bill of Rights.

Linen is a generic term often associated wih cloth.

Linen is from Flax, period. That is the depth of the point, no argument intended. That's why when you buy "bed linen" they are labeled as sheets. since in fact they are no longer linen, but cotton. Maybe, the author should have wrote hemp linens which would include bed linen, table linen, ...etc.

the hypocrisy was dual natured to expose not only those who argue against it from a substance perspective, but also a moral.

[blabs]

if that's the depth of your argument, your swimming in shallow waters.

[blabs]

agreed, so if you can listen and speak, then you should be able to consume, all within reason.
