Sure. If you want to grow 10 foot tall plants with internodes every 18 inches...that taste like straw, and doesn't even get you high enough to think hemp will be the pathway to cannabis legalization.

Wonder how long it would take the farmer to find your sabotage, and call the authorities. Scheduled testing of the crop would reveal your felony by the next spring, and doubtful the farmer would share your enthusiasm over contaminating his genetics with an illegal cannabis grow. Matter of fact, being a punk like that has a tendency to drive another nail in the cannabis legalization coffin. Think karma. Think...period.

A step in the right direction for whom? Hemp has nothing to do with legalizing cannabis, and I'd be pretty friggin pissed if I had to protect my ladies from permanent contamination from the hemp farm down the road.
Common sense and medical need have had enough of an effect to allow us this forum, but my guess is that the prison issue and taxes, will be the quickest and most permanant path to decriminalization.

yeah, I see your point, that it would suck if the farmer down the road started growing hemp right next an outdoor garden. I still support this bill, tho. It is just kinda, well, retarted that the US has to import hemp if we want to use it in food, etc. Plus, unrelated to hemp or cannabis, this bill is about States Rights. A really good way to start out the new term, maybe even start a trend. :s4:

I have nothing against the hemp bill...just...not in my back yard, lol. :thumbsup:

and buying from seed banks could eventually become hit-n-miss as far as purebred cannabis genetics goes.
I don't quite understand this point...How many U.S. seedbanks are around? All the seedbanks I know of are in other countries, countries that already have hemp legalized. If it hasn't happened by now...;)
Another interesting side effect would be the rise of Cannaboids that have been bred out of most of the commercial seeds available. Cannaboids that have shown to be beneficial to medical patients, but have been thrown to the wayside while seed hucksters go after higher and higher THC amounts.
Anyway, in my state it is impossible to grow outdoors and get sensimilla because of all the feral hemp that is growing in the ditches, so this will have absolutely no effect on states like mine, but the amount of money saved from having to import hemp, money kept in this country and jobs created is worth it, imho.

Gee. That's weird...there's a seed bank sitting right here in my home, ready to go. Just need a few fancy seed-packs for marketing, and I'm ready to rock-n-roll. (clones would take a bit longer, but I'll bet I could join forces with the local nursery to help with start-up and operating costs.) :jointsmile:
I know that if it were legalized...I'd have a strain or two on the market, and I's start registering/copywriting some others. As would virtually all growers in the USA with the knowledge and skills to market their products. Within two weeks, I'd have my website converted, and within a month would be makin' profit. Plus, foreign sources will likely become obsolete, as Obamanomics raises the tarrif's to unprofitable extremes.
Within two weeks of legalization, the USA would be saturated by growers and wanna-bee's.

my buddy has 17 acres, and he dreams of cultivating legal cannabis...yet he supports industrialized hemp.
i told him that if hemp is grown in our area (and it would be) that he better start dreaming of 17 acres of greenhouses, with ultra hepa filters to filter his intake.
nice thing... we won't have to worry about smelly exhaust.
industrialized hemp...double-edged sword.
great for most, but not so great if YOUR garden is nearby.
hemp seeds dropped into national forests would kink the cartels' grows.
hemp would free up corn to become a food again.
to ban the production in the USA of a crop that can house, feed, and improve the quality of millions of humans' lives seems cruel.
i never thought i would "get behind" Barney Frank, but he and Dr. Paul seem to be leading the charge on this subject, and legal/medicinal cannabis.
i don't think it is a question of IF, but WHEN we have legal hemp AND cannabis. Which will arrive first???

Not a good recommendation. Finding their grow locations, and scattering the hemp seeds may sound like a harmless prank...but the cost of pulling a harmless prank could easily escalate into you never being seen again. Those guys don't play well with other's. :(
