Hemp Init. Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Centuries of Safe Consumption of Hemp foods (fwd) Date: Thursday, October 28, 1999 12:48 PM It seems to me this whole conversation is based on the stupid premise that a product must have value before it can be allowed. We should not be working to make hemp legal because hemp has value. We should be working to make hemp legal because individuals have the natural right to choose for themselves without mamma government all the time wiping their noses. There should be only two drug laws: 1. It should be illegal to force anyone to ingest any drug. 2. It should be illegal to prevent anyone from ingesting any drug. Whether the drug, or it's parent plant, has any value should not concern the government of a free country. Ken At 8:41 PM -0700 10/27/99, Colo. Hemp Init.
