I live in “cornbread Mafia” territory in Kentucky. The song, “Copperhead Road” might as well be the diary of this area. I do see the DEA (or equivalent) flying over my 32 acres in the sticks quite a bit.
Here’s the deal: They use infrared to detect Marijuana plants from the air. They are a very different color from other plants. Unfortunately, Hemp is the same color. So once they legalize it, it will be virtually impossible to see the marijuana from the air. And trust me, the growers will exploit the heck out of that.
That being said, it doesn’t mean I agree with outlawing hemp. Far from it. It just means I know why its legal growth is getting pushback.
[[ They are a very different color from other plants.]]
So you’re saying that what they are doing is ‘racist profiling’ then? lol
Yeah, "pushback" from all those who don't want to see the decades of "war on drugs" make-work jobs vanish overnight. Like we don't have enough of a crisis with opioids, fentanyl and meth, that these clowns can waste resources flying over farms looking for stupid pot??
