You're nothing more than a troll as evidenced by your evasion.

Again:

Q. It's called Hempfest, why isn't it more about industrial hemp?

A. Hempfest features an entire area and stage, the Hemposium, that features exhibits, displays, demonstrations, panel discussions and featured speakers on the issue of industrial hemp and it's many uses. There are many hemp product vendors at Hempfest to choose from. But any serious discussion about domestic industrial hemp production will inevitably end up at the Drugwar. As Americans, we feel equally passionate about industrial hemp, medical marijuana and responsible adult recreational use.

So that's your entire body of evidence that shows that people who want to farm hemp are druggies? LOL

It's all about the dope. Root, stalk, stem, and leaf, all dope.

Your friends in Washington promise to create a "drug-free America". It's interesting to ponder what they're probably going to have to do to make that happen.

It's legal to import industrial hemp (provided it's not for consumption). What's this great urge to grow it domestically?

Yep. From what I've heard you'd have to smoke a few acres of industrial hemp to get a high and by that time you'd have a headache that would kill a bull elephant.

There are numerous differences between industrial hemp and marijuana. First, industrial hemp is, I believe, the male plant. Second, the stalks are allowed to grow to enormous heights where marijuana is forced to remain smallish. And third, industrial hemp plants are grown very close together where marijuana is supposed to be grown so many feet apart.

It's a shame that hemp must be purchased from Europe, Canada, and China to be made into fine clothes that last so much longer than cotton.

From what I've heard clothing made from hemp last far longer and hold up to washing greater than cotton. I am looking into opening a hemp clothing store here in Kansas City. The clothing makes the sales pitch for me. It's organic, long lasting, and environmentally friendly. Now if we can get it grown here in the good ole USA, the prices will drop drastically over the next few years. I mean, I love hemp clothing but it is a tad expensive for the average Joe.

I'm betting that the shirt lasted quite a long time. As soon as I get my store up and running, you can always buy new t-shirts from me.....lol

"If we can't regulate everything, then we can't regulate anything."

If Congress cannot regulate the activities that substantially affect the interstate commerce they're constitutionally regulating, then what's the point?

Why regulate interstate flights when local flights are off limits and can fly when and where they please?

Well, Mr. Anarchist?

I remember my mother telling me that she used to make hemp rope during the Depression.

Look at the sponsors of any "industrial hemp" promotion and you'll find the marijuana legalizers.
