you see, both grew this little plant called HEMP, which has multiple industrial uses. Hemp ropes, for example, were the backbone of the US Navy... (Yes they were used for rigging)...

Yes, it is time to end the ban on weed.... and yes, one of the reasons for this was the protection of the COTTON industry....

HEMP has so many uses, and it is a natural fiber... it is indeed time.

(On and the war on drugs has been a failure)

1. And how do you suppose they would take being molested and/or irradiated at airports, train stations

and bus depots?

They'd be lucky if their reaction resulted only in criminal charges being brought against them. They'd probably die in a hail of gunfire right on the spot.

4. Washington also made journal entries
noting that he separated the male plants from the female on his cannabis farm. Something that isn't necessary when you are making rope, but is quite necessary if you are hoping to make medicine, so to speak.
