Talking Re: Can Hemp Help Create A Green Economy?

Yes, hemp is legal to grow up here. the problem is not everyone has the freedom to do it. It is very expensive to set up since you need a location that has to have high fences then you have to have hundreds or thousands of acres for it to be viable the way the laws are set up. You also have to pay a hefty fee and pay for government testers to come on your property to test the samples. I have asked several times for a license to grow it in my back yard for food, or research. The line I get back is no, we don't do that. They feel enough research has been done on it and I do not have hundreds of acres in my back yard. When I do get my farm I will be growing hemp(and raising goats).
