Oregon Passes Hemp Bill

This is the best news yet. petrochemical plants must be shaking in their beakers.I cant wait to see how much better hemp is at everything.plastic that doesnt hurt the planet ect..............good deal everybody.

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER ! WE WILL WIN 1 STATE AT A TIME !

I have been talking with lots of people about the possibility of creating an industrial hemp processing plant here in Oregon so that future hemp farmers have a place to sell their fiber. Right now it would have to trucked to Canada or Mexico for processing.

I would love to grow industrial hemp.

Where do I apply? I want to work on a hemp farm!

Yep this is great news.

Great move Oregon!

I am hemp farm ready!! Keep freein it!

This will help Oregons' economy . Great news . Loosen the corporate grip - don't let them get it .

Good.

All we are saying is give trees a chance.

back to the roots of American original farmers, not a moment too soon.

someone in oregon would be stupid enough to smoke a rope..

Yah! This is really exciting news for Oregon. They are going through some of the worst unemployment and economic slow downs in the country right now. Hopefully this will bring a boost to their GDP and also employ a lot of people out there. Hell I'd pay the double taxes to work in Oregon and live in Washington, if it will help get this project off the ground...

Damn, and I thought Oregon was lame...

Yeah, I'm waiting on the heroic DEA to start kicking down farmer Bob's door. This needs to be done EVERYWHERE. We need to come out of a recession... hmmm... how about we start growing and exporting HEMP. One of natures most versatile resources. It's about time! I only hope that reason and logic will cause more states and eventually the feds to realize they've been doing it all wrong... but when has that ever happened?

Great!!! With 13 states supporting hemp production, we only need like 27 more to get the federal goverment to act accordingly.

hurray!

Cool. Now you can get shirts that hold color twice as long. No more having to throw out your favorite shirt.

Hope this goes well. Hemp is such a great product, so versatile and cheap. Next is medicinal use of cannabis.

If we can drink Gin we can smoke anything. And tax it as well. The same goes for Pros men & woman. Then regulate & tax it all.

Looks like I'm moving to Oregon!

I love this topic but the source seems sketchy...please post news from official sources! Here is one confirming your story from an Oregon newspaper; http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2009/06/house_oks_industrial_hemp.h...

I really hope Farmer's doors don't get kicked in by the DEA. But sad to say, I wouldn't doubt it.

They didn't call it the Oregon Trail for nothing.

WOW! Thats great news. Return of the Hemp.

Very cool! Hemp should never have been outlawed in the first place.

Great! In spite of the signs saying don't Californicate Oregon, they did.

Emperor your Hempire
