Yes, chance, the fakers, the stoners and hippies ARE the problem. Actually, thinking about it, the doctors that cater to the fakers, the stoners and the back pain people ARE the problem. If they would quit prescribing pot for them, and prescribe for the really needy, it would not be an issue.
The pot law is all encompassing in this country. Hemp can not be grown because it is in the pot family. there fore, there is no hemp ropes or hemp clothes in the U.S.. Isn't that paranoia on the part of the justice department?
There is an even more absurd extension. Hemp oil is banned in this country (happened fairly recently) because it inteferes with drug testing for marijuana.
A regulation is written to protect the highly profitable drug testing labs so they don't have to come up with a better test.
