Higher Hopes for Hemp<\/a>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Our insane ban on growing hemp has nothing to do with drugs. It\u2019s about money. The industries that stand to lose business if hemp is legalized \u2014 the cotton, timber, and biofuel industries, to name a few \u2014 don\u2019t want the competition.<\/p>\n

Do we have a free market or not? We should legalize hemp and let the chips fall where they may. The industries that stand to lose if hemp is legalized have used drug hysteria to their advantage for long enough.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If you believe in a free market economy, state\u2019s rights, and a government of the people, by the people, and for the people: You should also know that the \u201cDrug War\u201d is a $20 billion-a-year farce that does nothing but perpetuate our dependence on the expensive and toxic petrochemical status quo, while giving police and the DEA free range to destroy the lives of innocent citizens.<\/p>\n

And if you believe all that, you are among the MAJORITY of Americans who think the the Feds should spend their time (and our money) helping the American people, instead of hurting us.<\/p>\n
