A durable flag for outside use would be great; what’s the problem?

<><><><><

I’m assuming your question is rhetorical. You know (I believe) exactly what the problem is.

There are low information folks on every side of the political equation. To some, hemp = marijuana, and hemp products are the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent.

Funny that hemp supporters tend to also be marijuana supporters.

Hemp products are just that, products made from a weed plant fiber. It is ridiculous to ignore a useful and profitable resource with economic uses just because some stupid people choose to use it for other things out of ignorance.

It is hardly a gateway to drugs and in fact the physiological effects of smoking real hemp would make most people very reluctant to try real “weed” for fear of experiencing the same effects.

In the late 60s I was a teenager in South Dakota and I knew some idiots who tried smoking hemp; something they quickly regretted. Real hippies used to drive across the state enroute to California and could be seen harvesting hemp growing along the old highways. There are still tons of the stuff growing wild from the crops of hemp grown during WWII for rope and canvas. The locals used to laugh at them because they knew they were literally in for a bad trip.

Hemp is not a problem to more than a few who are idiot enough to try smoking it.
