Industrial hemp being essentially illegal to grow on a federal basis is pure, blatant tyranny, idiocy and ridiculousness. Words cannot describe the stupidity of this policy.

Hemp should be grown everywhere. I will grow it if it becomes legal to grow. I would love that!

f**k the idea of fingerprinting to grow hemp. They should fingerprint all the CIA movers of drugs since the CIA is the number one drug mover and pusher in the world, best place to focus the drug war! LOL

He's a little late. I think George Washington was the first industrial hemp farmer in the US.
