I've just watched a video called "Hemplands" about the origins of hemp/marijuana in the US. It features commentary by Gatewood Galbraith, etc. and it mentions that hemp is believed to have originated in the far East and it has been around since as long as .......... damn my short term memory.

Maybe the 2 go hand in hand. I sure like the comments on this thread. I too read the news article about the science teaching in school. I gotta agree with Psycho4bud. School is for learning a bit of everything. I'm old enough to say I learned the Bible in school. I don't regret it, but I sure have rethunk my views on it.

I especially liked eg420ne and the idea that the supreme court deems itself intelligent by design . . . . absolutely priceless!!!!
