Nug of the Month 2nd and Plant of the Month 3rd Pl
Although the allowance of commercial growing makes me worry that the ballot will be disregarded, it is the right thing that should be done.
With very little research anyone can learn that our laws that also make growing industrial Hemp illegal are ridiculous. Both industrial and recreational hemp should be allowed to be grown by anyone, whether you're a commercial business or a private user - its a plant of this earth and no one should be prohibited from growing the earth. Lets stop pushing the market of this crop into the black. Statistics show that where marijuana is legal, user rates especially minor use are not higher, or are even lower like in amsterdam... so if the market of recreational marijuana does not increase (alcohol drinking rates where also higher during the alcohol prohibtion) then creating a legal market has to mean removing most of the clientele of the black market. Sure neighboring states would worry it might be easy to cross state boundries... but this plant should be legal there too..
There is no even government reason why industrial hemp was ever made illegal but it could save the world. Hemp for victory is a fda video from 1942 about how great hemp is and how to grow and harvest it.
It is lunacy to imprison anyone simply for possessing a fruit of the earth. We were born from the resources of this planet, which also offers up Cannabis, and to prohibit it is due to arrogance, ignorance, and lots of greed.
I could not agree more, well said
