    Whether or not you support Cannabis reform, you should support this bill. The Cannabis plant has many uses outside of that to get high. Clothes, paper, Hemp seed oil, and possibly used as fuel.

    no possibly about it..you CAN use it for fuel which means we could faise out ethanol because Hemp is even MORE efficient than corn.

    As defined by current regulation outside the US, Industrial Hemp contains 0.3% or less THC. If you tried to “get high” from this crop you would probably spend the rest of your life extracting enough of the drug for it to be worth the effort.

    The fact that de-regulating low TCH Industrial Hemp is a no brainer only means that there are those who have reason for blocking said de-regulation.

    If you are asking youself “why is IH regulated” then go out and do some research, you will probibly (I hope) get angry and come to the conclusion that someone has their hand in the back pockets of those who make the rules.

    I can not see a solid reason to not support this legislation.

    Decide for yourself! It has so many practical uses, plus it is almost imposable to use as a drug!

    Now here is a bill that can help this Nation! Hemp was the backbone of why this nation is as great as it is. You simply need to go back to the early days of Dupont and see why all this negativity against non thc hemp started. Dupont KNEW hemp was SUPERIOR to oil and did everything he could to destroy the HEMP market, even tying it to high thc marijuana. Wake up congress and get this out of the committee and get it on the floor for a vote for once and for all. What are you afraid of putting it on the floor for a vote? It just might pass? Get off your butts and get this moving. This just shows how weak minded the bulk of our congress is. The congress is no longer voting based on their constituency but they vote for themselves. This makes it a rogue government.
