Another small step for hemp legalization

A pair of hemp shoes

So, the US government is going to let States decide how they want to manage the laws covering marijuana, particularly medicinal marijuana. And, the move could help develop hemp farming.

While hemp does not contain THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, it is just as illegal to grow as marijuana.

But none of that might matter any more. If states can license marijuana growers, then it seems there is no reason states couldn't license hemp farming.

With all the environmental problems in the world today, as well as the focus on biomass, it seems that industrial hemp should be given a chance.

Hemp on the verge of legalization in California?

Why is it always about pot?

There is a move in California to legalize marijuana so that it can be taxed by the government, something that would provide a $1 billion in tax revenue for the state according to some projections.

It the legislation were to be successful, it would open the door for hemp farming, a move that could be more conducive than fruit farms and their high water requirements.

Likewise, if the potential of hemp is as great as many speculate, hemp might even generate more revenue than its THC-containing cousin, marijuana. Considering that hemp is highly nutritious, can be made into plastic, cement, composites, clothing - even fuel - isn't it time for change?

The Founding Founders were hemp farmers

That's right. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew weed. They didn't just grow weed, they wrote about the virtues and importance of hemp to the American economy.

Hemp has played an extremely important role in history. And, despite the fact that you can't even get high if you smoked it, hemp farming is still illegal because it looks like marijuana.

I didn't know looks could kill.

HLP knows what hemp is

As I was getting of the Metro in Highland Park yesterday, some guy asked me if my IWEARWEED.COM shirt was made of hemp. I explained that it was 55 percent hemp and 45 percent organic cotton.

Then he wanted to touch it, so I let him. He was quite impressed.

After than he stared telling me all the things he had heard about hemp, all the possible benefits. He was actually very knowledgeable about the subject and the clear differences between hemp and marijuana.

As we were talking, another dude asked if we were talking about hemp.

Turns out the kid in front was working on a paper about hemp, so the three of us talked about hemp as we walked a few blocks down 57 before heading our separate ways.

Pretty cool.

Unfortunately, we finished the conversation agreeing that the chances of legalization were pretty slim.

So, help us legalize hemp.
