Who's really smokin' what here?

I saw an article in yesterday's USA Today about two farmers who are suing the DEA over the right to grow hemp in this country. A DEA spokes tool, a dildo by the name of Garrison Courtney, said, "Hemp is marijuana. There's no distinguishing feature between marijuana and hemp." So the DEA refuses to let anyone grow hemp in the USA. We import every bit of hemp that is used in products that contain hemp. The hemp we import is grown in Canada, Europe, and China.

First of all, the DEA dick is wrong. Industrial hemp has very low levels of THC, that's the stuff in marijuana that gets you high. In fact it has minuscule amounts of THC. Marijuana grown for recreational drug use is cultivated to have high levels of THC. So in reality Mr. DEA Dumbass, there is a distinguishing feature between the two.

Secondly, with all the family farms going belly up in this nation would it not make more sense to let farmers grow hemp than to import it? I got nothing against the fine folks in Canada, Europe, and China but I'd rather see more of this
and way less of these.
Hemp is almost a miracle product for our sick planet and for people everywhere. Here, take a look at what you can make out of hemp:




I wonder how many jobs we would create if we were allowed to grow hemp legally? I wonder how many new businesses we would see pop up if we were allowed to process hemp grown in this country? I wonder how many family farms would stay in business and out of the clutches of industrial corporate hands if we were allowed to grow hemp in this country legally?
How about we do this, let's take our country back from the politicians who have no idea what the fuck they're doing when they tell us we can't grow hemp. Let's dismantle the DEA and end this fiction called the "war on drugs," it's filling our jails needlessly and it's actually having the opposite effect they want it to have. Let's sow the fields with hemp and make rope, paper, personal care products, food, oils, and clothes out of it. And then after all that, let's roll a joint as big around as your arm, smoke it, and then have some good old fashioned pot sex.

How about it America? Are you with me?

The funny thing is that the United States government paid farmers tons of money to grow hemp during World War II. When I was a kid, and my family moved into a Chicago suburb that had recently been a farm field, "hemp" was growing all around.

Hemp makes one helluva good beer, too.

And of course, if you can't tell the difference between Hemp and Pot, you might as well legalize both. Doh!
