I seriously wish that the US would get off its enormous backside and give us the ability to grow hemp again. The clothing made from it is far better than cotton, stronger than cotton, and the threads can be used for just about everything.
There is no better rope than a hemp rope. Hemp was Missouri’s biggest cash crop back in the day. Farmers could reap large rewards as hemp doesn’t take much in the way of fertilizer or care. You can harvest it fast as well.
But the LEO's just got through wiping out most of the wild hemp in Missouri. Well except for North West Missouri. Why would they spend tax dollars wiping out hemp plants you ask? Because the tax dollars were there for the picking.
(I support our LEO's for the most part.)
