Supporters say hemp could help economy

????

Criminals steal, not policemen.

Somebody is watching too much "Dukes of Hazard".

Classical subversion of values: bad is good, good is bad.

Not to mention the usual conspiracy theory.

Hemp was banned for the benefit of loggers and DuPont nylon. Make no mistake about it. Also to replace the prohibition enforcement police work, which has always been a cops license to steal. They wanted the scam, pure and simple. They were spoiled by alcohol prohibition.

Like people will not abuse it somehow.

Grow up, those who seriously believe that the opposing the production of hemp is done by ignorant people, or people unaware of what that is.

Cannabis my friends, is cannabis.

Use something else to the production of fibers.

Using hemp will open a huge margin for drug dealers to claim legality while feeding the kids with dope.

Amazing that some people in here might know numbers, but seem uncapable of adding them to see the results.

Think a little further, that's all.

Where do these people come from? It's like they're from Mars or something. They oppose a worthy cash crop for our farmers, because they disagree with Marijuana. Are you in there guys? Did you not read the posts? Do you not believe?

Believe. A farmer in Iowa is growing hemp to make jeans. The boy is NOT a drug distributor. Was that clear enough? You smoke that shit and all you get is a sore throat and a headache. Do your research. If you DON'T want to do your research, then shut your mouth. You don't know what you're talking about. If I want to consult an idiot, I'll go downtown and talk to a bumb. Geeeeesss...... are you in there?

Lets start with industrial hemp.

could? will!
forget everything about marijuana quite simply opening a new industry increases competition driving prices down while simultainiously creates new jobs that previously did not exist.

btw all your apocolyptic views of a society on pot are quite comical. amsterdam heard of it.they have no problems of people sleeping in thier own pee(alcoholics here do by the way )children in amsterdam arent playing in garbage. gangs can only fight for control of markets that are illegal, legalization and regulation take away the gangs abilities to run markets as they wish , have ya noticed folgers employees arent kiling maxwell house epmloyees despite caffine being an addictive drug.watch out for that phizer street militia they sooo dangerous.
hate whatever you like but dont expect us to abide by it instead of logic and reason

You can NOT get high off hemp. It will grow just about anywhere. At this point we need to stop looking at the money aspect. Recession or no recession, it's time to stop making petroleum based plastics, using forest timbers for building materials so on so fourth. If hemp can replace it, why not? What's the issue?

I would recommend everyone take the time to educate yourself,

Industrial Hemp is NOT Marijuana.
Ignorance and lack of education on this issue is the reason we are the largest importer in the world of Hemp Fiber to build everything from cars to Bibles.

Take some time and learn what you are talking about before post about a subject you know nothing about.

Well, Intel is already thinking about implanting commercial chips on people's brains, why not kill it completely?

No reaction, people will just sit on the same spot the whole day and will do anything for a new dosis.

(I have seen Christiania on its glory days and it was something like this, people sleeping over their own pee, children playing over garbage, oldies dying of frost on winter, gangs fighting for control of the hash/pot market... ...if hell has a name...)

it doesn't work.

Northern Michigan: Another lousy place to grow hemp. (see British Columbia for the same argument) What we have here is yet another cold wet place with expensive farm land.

If hemp is legalized it is not going to sell for hundreds of dollars an ounce it's going to sell for pennies a bushel just like cotton or corn or any other dryable high yield non perishable crop. That's the way farm economics works. It will likely be most economic to grow hemp in hot dry areas on garbage soil because it grows well there and the land is cheaper.

Of course supporters are saying that. The supporters are so desperate they will say just about anything. Find a desperate area where they can score some votes, tell a bunch of whoppers. What else is new?

I agree, the half that produce it will make enough money to make them happy, and the other half will be so happy they won't notice they are poor...now a good selling point would be to offer free munchies with the purchase. Everyone would be happy.
