Hemp History Week

It’s Hemp History Week!

And no, I’m not a 420 aficionado.

I think hemp should be legal in the US (again).

New economy/1 million+ new jobs, anyone?

Its ban has nothing to do with hemp being a narcotic and everything to do with being a competing industry to timber, much in the way biofuels and hybrid vehicles are giving petrol a run for its money.
