    No argument intended, just wanting to point out the benefits of growing and using hemp.

    At this time, hemp can be grown legally in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont and West Virginia and you can purchase hemp products anywhere in the U.S. In years to come, hemp will likely be legally grown in most if not all states. The usefulness, low toxicity growth and production, the plants restorative properties for soil and particularly the economic benefits of hemp will make it a popular and wide spread crop as it was in the past.

    This is of course the non THC type right?

    Yes. Hemp has a very low level of THC. You would literally have to smoke a bale of hemp to get high.

    It's on our ballot too (in CA, not sure where you are).

    Good luck to us for eventual full legality!

    Maybe consider starting a thread about cannabis legalization. Though their very similar plants, the hemp issue is different than legalizing marijuana. The hemp issue is mostly about a nitrogen fixing, fast growing plant that would make a great substitute for other crops that are far more harmful to the land base- crops like cotton and tree farms. It's a plant that has many uses- everything from from making fiber board, to nutritional seed foods to fenders for tractors (yes! read above!).

    Cannabis is mainly about medical marijuana and the recreational use of that beautiful exotic herb. Quite a different subject. :smile:

    You're allowed to deviate from any thread. In fact, its pretty much the stand here. haha!

    I must say, I'm not bored on this board. heehee!

    I do believe these should be separate issues, however. A lot of people have issues with cannabis and I understand that. I love the herb but I also know it has its drawbacks. But so does this life which is why I love the herb (if that makes any sense).

    But hemp is a different beast. It has nothing to do with medical marijuana or getting high. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to have issues with hemp- whatsoever!

  • many people think hemp is cannabis. perhaps if every state who has it on the ballot this year agrees to move forward on the issues then maybe hemp also has a chance. if cannabis can go after the medical pill pushing industry(pharma) then maybe hemp can go after the oil/energy sector. i can dream, right?

    I've often thought it the other way around. If hemp, with it's many practical uses, were more accepted, then perhaps cannabis would be seen in a better light.

    If I had the money to invest and more years to reap the benefits, I would put as many dollars as I could into hemp and someday be fat, happy, and live in a better world.
