Reps Paul, Frank introduce bill to legalize industrial hemp http://tinyurl.com/c8jqsk
I have been very disappointed at Obama's not being supportive about legalizing pot -- if only to save our country from billions spent to maintain the policing and incarceration efforts. My opinion is that Obama doesn't want to be ridiculed by the vicious rightwing with racial epithets of "see, you elect a N-word, and what do you get?" So, I understand, Mr. Obama, yes, I do, but, HA!, now you've got a real problem. If you support the growing of hemp, then the cops won't be able to spot the pot growing as easily, and hemp will be grown in every yard as a decorative plant cuz it's low maintence, and what's a cop to do with hundreds of houses with pot-esque plants growing? No way can law enforcement AFFORD the processing necessary to sort out the hemp growers from the pot growers. So, if Obama supports this bill for hemp, I'll take that as a read on his "true stance" about pot. Yay! If he drags his heels on this bill, then he's sold out to booze, alcohol and forestry industries.....and increasingly, these days, the prison industry which thrives on the regular supply of African Americans targeted by the cops.
