QuoteHemp just makes sense.
But then the song would have to go, "I wish I was in the land of hemp." Doesn't really roll off the tongue, does it? And what would come after it? "Larry, Curly, Moe and Shemp"? People would laugh at the South. Not that they don't already.

QuoteI detest smoking dope. That said, people who smoke it in an atmospere that won't even affect other's lives, or lifestyles, get after it. The use of this illicit drug is against the law, if you want to take a chance on being a criminal, smoke away. The use of cannibus sativa also increases the onset of lung cancer and a host of other dieseases,
Obey by the laws of your state. Prohibit the use of this dangerours drug at all cost where prohibited.
Hahahaaa!!

Drugs are terrible, I started off with just injecting heroin and before I knew it I was smoking weed.
as far as trusifarians ruining the beaches in cali come the F on. apparently you havent been to the beach after it rains. the runoff from soil pollution will cause sickness, infection, and all kinds of nastyness.
why do they call dreadheads tree huggers? cause they love and respect the earth.
how many surfers have you seen walking the beach picking up trash? i know i do every time im headed to the car after a session.
i live in florida where our main income is tourists, when do you think the beach is more trashed? in tourist season or when its locals only????
not much of an argument there. most of the pot smokers i know are very earth minded individuals and respect what mother earth has given them.
i really wish you pot haters would get your heads out of your asses and open your eyes.
my father is recovering from colon cancer, he smokes daily. holds down an telcom engineering job with no problems. he was over chemo'd and got chroins disease from it, the only way he could even smell food without getting sick was from pot.
if you have never dealt with this type of situation and have strong feelings against pot then you really need to grow up and expierence life outside of your comfly little bubble that you live in.
its a great big wide world out there, whats right for you might not be right for someone else, and whats right for someone else might not be right for u. but thats not your decision to make for someone else!

At the time, advances in cotton industry related machinery did out pace that of machines in the hemp industry. Overtime, however cotton has proven to be far more costly. Cotton farming accounts for near 50% of the worlds crop chemical use. Hemp farming use nearly none if any at all. Cotton farming is extremely environmentally unsound.
Cotton badly leach the soil. Hemp is a self mulching crop and can be grown in the same soil over and over again without consequence to the soil. Furthermore, due to its ability to fend off weeds, disease and insect infestation it is the perfect rotation crop for traditional crops.
Hemp has a high hurdle to clear in order to be viable in today's market. First, it has to compete with a firmly established cotton industry as well as numerous others as the plant has a wide range of uses. Second, it needs to be accepted by the general consumer. As with any new product (actually, hemp is nothing new as it has enjoyed pretty much the entire span of human existence as a valuable commodity) introduced to the market, there is a transitional period from novelty to common. Third, the many uses need to be brought up to date. Research into its use was halted in 1937 due to the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act. The government did not distinguish between industrial hemp and the smoked strain of cannabis thereby placing hemp under the umbrella of law enforcement. Research across the spectrum of use came to an immediate halt. Had the two been kept separate or research allowed to continue on the two, marijuana and it's many uses would, probably, have greater acceptance.
Due to ignorance and intentional misinformation the market and the environment has lost. The market lost a product that gave the consumer another choice. Possibly, a wiser choice. The environment lost and is still losing. Runoff from chemical farming has done serious damage over the years. Hemp, as a rotational crop would had greatly reduced the damage as well as saved millions in operation cost for farmers.
It should not be a matter of law enforcement but solely under the Dept. of Agriculture. The argument 'drug cartels will grow illegal marijuana in hemp fields' doesn't hold water as pollination from the hemp would render the illegal plants useless. Being that hemp contains .03-1.0 (less than) it need not be classified as a schedule one narcotic (neither should smoked mj in the opinion of millions of people). Millions of dollars and manpower hours could be saved simply by ceasing operations to eradicate a plant that no one smokes.
If not for the high cost for hemp jeans and shirts, more people would more likely buy them. I would and had in the past. After a few washings the shirts I had were extremely comfortable just as cotton is. I think that hemp will eventually make a comeback. The cost of finished products will decrease as production cost stabilize alongside that of cotton and other products. Hemp just makes sense.
