Stinky hemp shoes

Smell resistance?

I have sweaty feet, and sweat means stink. Thus, I thought that hemp shoes might alleviate this nuisance. Unfortunately, one pair of my hemp shoes is the stinkiest pair I currently own. Now, perhaps, this is much more about the sole of the shoe, which is not made of hemp, and it has nothing to do with the hemp at all.

Moreover, I have a few other pairs of hemp shoes as well that are not stinky. Nonetheless, I've noticed nothing about my hemp shoes that makes me believe that hemp shoes fight foot odor better than any other kind of shoe.

Still, that was a minor and insignificant reason for my hemp shoe purchases.

Wanted: Black hemp shoes

Should I get them?

Damn it.

I went to the Vans store in Old Town Pasadena to check out some shoes. They had this new pair of hemp shoes, but they were brown and I'm looking for black shoes.

So, I asked the salesperson if they had them in black. "I don't think they make them in black," she replied.

Thus, today, I almost bought these brown hemp shoes at the Vans Store. Thankfully, I got caught up at Barneys in Old Town Pasadena and had a few too many.

Fortunately, however, I came home and checked out the Van's website and found these black hemp shoes.

Anybody else shopping for black hemp shoes?

Hemp Legalization: Let's grow up America

The dangers of hemp?

These are some of my hemp shoes. Speaking of hemp shoes, I just saw a really cool pair yesterday at the Van's Store in Old Town Pasadena.

Anyway. So, let's roll some hemp and smoke it.

Feel better?

No. In fact you probably have a headache because hemp is not a drug. Hemp has very little THC, the ingredient in marijuana that makes it a drug worthy of regulation.

Hemp, on the other hand, is used for clothes, food, car parts, etc. and on and on. Hemp is an industrial product. Yet, it is still illegal just because it looks like marijuana. So, only looks matter? Not reality?

Certainly there have been relatively recent studies, such as the infamous University of Wisconsin hemp-hammering study that essentially claims hemp might not be very useful today compared to other crops.

Perhaps. Minimally, nonetheless, hemp is a great organic product that is conducive to other organic crops, minimally. Even the UW study acknowledges that fact.

The point is, legalize it and let's see what happens. It's already a billion+ industry. Yet, American companies have to import hemp because it looks like marijuana?

Let's grow up America, or are we still just skin deep?
