well of course time magazine wont deal with hemp contractors. they want to remain a credible news source, and if they affiliate themselves with such a controversial substance then they wont be taken as seriously. it would be like using ink made out of cocaine or something,, it might work ok, but theyd get a bunch of shit for it.
