For your interest.
It’s whatever you make of it.
A plant can’t be evil, as evil is a characteristic of human beings.
They used to grow it all over Ohio Penn KY and WV in the 1800s
You could still find it growing wild in the 1970s
Wild Turkey Weed?
If you support a policy that would have thrown all the Founders in jail, you may just be a tyrant.
And a poppy is just a poppy.
That 1937 Act was a gift/protection for Big Lumber & the traditional Newsprint from wood pulp folks. It prevented Hemp based Newsprint as competition.
I really don’t believe people who say it’s all they have that works for pain. It makes young people lazy. It’s a gateway drug. It’s gotta be worse on the lungs than tobacco. The libertarian in me says legalization. Slippery slope. Leads to tattoos.
Hemp is not Marijauna, but so what if it was?
They used it for rope and for lamp oil
Kentucky is covered in tobacco and bourbon, next thing you know they’ll have horse races!
Speaking of horse races...
When I was a kid, My Uncle, who raced horses, got me a job at the Speed barns, right beside the track.
Oh Boy oh boy! ME! working at the speed barns?!
Yup.
Shoveling **** LOL
Paul Jacobs is a pharmacologist?
I doubt it.
More like a Soros drug pusher.
Next thing you know Blackie Gennero has a boxer named Ernie Shaver working out in his speed barns...
Ernie is a good ol guy
Correct. Some varieties that are good fiber don’t make THC. Most medicines come from plants, why should this one be different if it is properly controlled.
Legislation to permit these uses does not and has never had any impact on those who grow it for recreational drug purposes.
Sometimes I forget how interesting mylife is LOL
Happy Easter to you all!
You ever hear of the “Sugar War”? The Pittsburgh Mob figured out during Prohibition, if you controlled the sugar, you control the market.
Back then Welch’s grape juice made a thing called Welch’s Bar
Non descript package, Size of a bar of soap.
It was sugar and yeast.
You bought that and the grape juice, kerplunk! and through the miracle of time you had hootch
Then I met this Fellow called James Trafficant, He was the Sheriff, Then a Congressman...
“it was once a major cash crop of Kentucky, which is the state that Mitch McConnell represents, along with Rand Paul, in the U.S. Senate”
LOL
Hemp is only for rope and oil. Probably could make paper and a linin type fabric too.
There is zero THC in it.
