It seems the plan is to restrict cannabis production so that the hemp market has no real chance of flourishing. This way, politicians and their corporate masters can come out on the news and say something like, "See, people? Even if we legalize it, it just doesn't have a place in our modern free market. So it should just stay illegal."
could you elaborate on this part of your statement please? I actually got my hopes up when I heard about a hemp bill on the desk of Arnold. Now I haven't read the bill myself but I was on jack herer's website and reading the letter he wrote to arnold asking him to veto it because the THC level of a hemp plant could not exceed .3%, and THC being the natural sunscreen of the plant being in tiny concentration would produce poorer quality stocks. Is this what you are talking about when you say the plant has no real chance of flourishing? or is there more to it than just that? :thumbsup:
