The pox on cannabis needs to end.

What the heck...isn't morphine derived from the plant...at least the natural stuff?

OK, so here is an idea....grow marijuana for hemp....hemp, a natural product we could make all kinds of things with and use less plastic....and also, get pain relief from the plant too....or a variety there of. Seems like a gift from the gods.

I live in the conservative Midwest, outside of a bastion of liberality. Back in the '90s, I remember all of a sudden, having dozens of military vehicles, cops etc, parked across from my home.....my lord, I thought it was an invasion. Cripes, I didn't know if I should grab a pack and run for my life....smoke billowing form the fields across the road....black helicopters....

Well, apparently there was a field there, of MJ, left over from WWII when they grew it for naval ropes?? Honestly. This sweet smoke that drifted over the house resulted in a large binge eating at supper that night. I distinctly remember how funny everything seemed to me and the kids.
