highgirlll: The United States, the only developed nation that does not allow hemp as an industrial crop, continue to hold their stance on keeping the beneficial plant illegal. Both Canada and the European Union are two examples of places that use hemp for commericial reasons, such as food, textiles, and fibers. Cannabis and Hemp describe two different things, and to read more about differentiating between the two, click Here. Hemp contains very little THC, an amount that is so low that a person would not be able to get high off of it, for it only contains about 0.3% THC. Hemp refers to the commercial/industrial use of the plant. Drug Czar Gil Kerlikowske (Person in charge of drug-control propaganda in the US) stated on the White House’s “We The People” website, this statement: “Federal law prohibits human consumption, distribution, and possession of Schedule 1 controlled substances. … While most of the THC in cannabis plants is concentrated in the marijuana, all parts of the plant, including hemp, can contain THC, a Schedule 1 controlled substance. The Administration will continue looking for innovative ways to support farmers across the country while balancing the need to PROTECT public health and safety.” The government still holds to their claim that they are protecting people’s health by keeping our cannabis plant illegal, but it is only increasingly more obvious, with each passing day, that our government is not protecting the people, they are protecting the profits that their industries and pharaceutical companies accumulate. Hemp is an annual plant, providing yearly work, as well as a yearly surplus of hemp. Are our officials motives not clear enough, yet? It is hard to ignore the state of economic peril our country is in, as well as the ways that legalization would help, if they would only allow it. We are living in a country governed by individuals who care only about profit, and about accumulation of wealth. Our wellbeing, our happiness? Do not be silly. Stand up for what you believe, and don’t ever quit fighting for what you know is right! Source Here
