Hemp is not pot... Hemp is a much maligned material that makes the best
natural fiber for rope, sail cloth & clothes. Hemp oil is amazing stuff, high in
Omega fatty acids ( as an example:
http://www.ratical.org/renewables/TherapHoil.html ) These are just two useful things that come to mind that we can't
take advantage of because of a paranoid misconception (shades of "Reefer
Madness" for those of us in the boomer age category).
Better check your demographics Robert... you will find a substantial amount
of herb friendly folk are mid to upper class white collar people AND neo-cons
espousing strong Christian values. (Ya better sit down for this one too...
you've even met a bunch at some campouts we've both been to ~ AND I would bet
my CV joints <cheap pun> that there were even some that went out of their way
to help you in your time of need ~ wait GW even "used" to smoke the stuff)
So, pinning this on a very dated stereotype is not valid.
Personally, I don't use anything I can't buy at the store. I'm a career
military man and since it's illegal and I'm subject to double jeopardy it isn't
worth the risk. If it were legal I probably would.
Lastly, when was the last time you heard a news story "Pot crazed hippie’s
rampage ~ 12 dead in Humboldt shooting spree". (no, I didnt hear that....
actually, I was too lazy to walk across the street to buy a paper ! ) The same
cannot be said for the legal drug (Alcohol). Give me a hungry stoner over a mean
drunk any day!

Didn't the movie : "reefer madness" come out
Right after DuPont Discovered

&... wasn't Levi Making the Best, Most Durable Overalls out of Hemp at the
Time ???
& I believe Henry Ford was experimenting with Hemp....No, for Auto Body Parts
Silly ! :o)
Not to mention the US Navy for Rope & Sails & a Hundred other products !!!
I sense a conspiracy going On....
PS: just lost my Keys for the fifth time today Huh??? :o)
