Hemp can now be grown in North Dakota

[thegr8pulido]

Legal or not, no matter how crazy or alone I look or feel, I will keep pushing for legalization and growing my own cannabis, DEA can kiss my ass. I'm going to be like Johnny Appleseed with a bike one day and ride a bicycle across North America planting useful plants for my brother man to use.

[jammingwithmarley]

DEA please give out more permits for growing hemp and cannabis.

[MLBinwa]

Now is the time to legalize Industrial hemp without regulations. Police can be trained to know the difference between Hemp and Marijuana (of course would save us money if this was legal as well)

Will it take a total collapse of American before we change?

[KOmaSHOOTER]

Hemp and Marijuana is both cannabis

Do you understand this?

[KOmaSHOOTER]

it's not civilised to propagade diskrimination

it's against the human rights!

[KOmaSHOOTER]

the police will go on killing people for plants

allot sad things will happen if it will never stop

[KOmaSHOOTER]

just legalize it or the war goes on for the assholes

[KOmaSHOOTER]

you only need a good male plant

[eastern2western]

dea will tell you to fuck yourselfs

[samten10a]

Yaa that is what we need to get the gov out of the way. Just like every one wanted on mortgage loans. Look what that did. When ever I hear some thing that say get the gov out of the way, deregulate I know some thing is going to go to shit in short time. When the gov buy into it. 1965 was the first time I heard that PR bull shit. There have been 15 melt downs sense. All starting with that bull shit statement get the gov out of regulating it.

Hemp is NOT a drug! Why is any drug enforcement agency involved?!? Why do we allow this from our government, 

[KOmaSHOOTER]

@everythingeco

Because nature can fuck you all! ;-)

2007 whats up

[edubyas]

A license is mearly a permit for doing something that is otherwise illegal. So not exactly a definitive victory.

[anyusmoon1]

agreed :-( Doesn't this 'certified' seed label smack of the same fascist (corp+gov) Monsanto take-over of patenting seed, modified or not?!

[DrReaper]

The government should just get out of the way. They get tax money on the products when they sell anyway.

[btsumm]

Should? You say that like they have choice...they are our SERVANTS. Not the other way around.

[DrReaper]

We do have a choice. We kick out the R's and D's and get it done.

[crazyjugglo]

servents....they are the ones in power man

[blueshinai]

Very nutritious hemp seed oil is great food and if it were more economical I would eat it every day. Hemp milk made from the seeds here in Salt Lake must be imported and costs 4 dollars a quart or I'd be drinking it every day too. These artificial financial barriers are interfering with every person's natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, ALL THREE. Prohibition is killing. Add to the above, THC is shrinking cancerous tumors in University research labs around the world.

[iscream22]

Not to mention its insane cannibis is still illicit. People are going to smoke it regardless of its legality, why not tax it?

[iscream22]

Read the hemp manifesto novel. Hemp has hundreds of uses and can actually help our planet. Its insane that its taboo when it doesnt have THC

[marijuananewschannel]

Keep plugging away Rob, it'll happen. America is ready for a new industry that would employee thousands and generate billions of dollars. Only a fool would argue industrial hemp is invaluable.

Uzz

[hittingrabbit]

There was no legal reason to have made Hemp illegal in the first place,it's not even classified as a drug,but a controlled substance,a substance can be anything.

However Caffeen is a drug,as well as alcohol,in which has been proven to have the same effect on the brain as Cocaine,both are addictive and are allowed to be sold.

[Xare420]

The petro chemical industry stands to lose billions of dollers if hemp were to be legal.

[darealdjnutz]

We need to do away with the DEA.

[sugarkisses104]

It's good to see that this country is once again growing industrial hemp!

Maybe in a few more years, we can start using this for fuel instead of Middle-East oil!

George Washington would be proud. :-)

[klard]

The DEA is idiotic. There is no demand for field grown marijuana from North Dakota. The quality would be so low compared to the market that it would be unsalable.

MARIJUANA/HEMP HAS NEVER KILLED ANYONE EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MAN.

Legal, widely used and accepted aspirin on the other hand:

"Common over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin kill around 20,000 Americans every year, and another 100,000 end up in hospital as a result of taking the drug, new research reveals" ~ Proceedings of the Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, October 15, 2007.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

Marijuana is Distinguished From most other currently illicit drugs by the locations of its brain-receptor sites for two predominant reasons:

(1) The lack of receptors in the medulla significantly reduces the possibility of accidental, or even deliberate, death from THC,

~ and ~

(2) the lack of receptors in the mesocorticolimbic pathway significantly reduces the risks of addiction and serious physical dependence. As a therapeutic drug, these features are nature's greatest gifts.

[Electricspaceodyssey]

In Fact- We Have body Parts Meant to Take in Cannabinoids!!! These are Our CB1 and CB2 Cannabinoid Receptors and they help Regulate many important body functions using naturally occuring cannabinoids present such anandamide (or "arachidonoylethanolamide") and governs many vital bodily functions including:

* appetite * bone density * mood regulation * reproduction * blood pressure * Learning capacity * motor coordination ...

[Electricspaceodyssey]

Marijuana: has been used for ages; Evidence of the inhalation of cannabis smoke can be found as far Back as the Neolithic Age... Since then, Not a Single Human Has Ever Died Because Of It! Because it's Practically non- Toxic to us with an LD50 of between approximately 50 and 86 g for a 68 kg (150 lb) female or Male person respectively. This would be equivalent to 1-1.8 kg of cannabis with a 5% THC content (roughly average) taken Orally.

[gravelin08]

Mike Gravel is still very much in the race for US President and is a strong advocate for legalization of all drugs with regulation. He authored National Initiative which would allow citizens to put forth a national initiative to legalize marijuana. ni4d us He has authored book, Citizen Power. Please read, think about this and vote for the National Initiative if you are a US citizen over the age of 18.

[youboob1989]

just look at the differences the synthetic and pharmacutical companys run this country. they don't want hemp and use it's cousin marijuana as an excuse for them not to grow it. And hemp does have proven value so it would be harder for them to turn it down. But I wonder what they'll say for it not to be used.

[BrightLies]

It's about time.

Just to emphasize even more: HEMP IS NOT MARIJUANA! You cannot get high on hemp. Possession of hemp is not illegal, and neither should its production. Legalization of marijuana is a COMPLETELY SEPARATE issue... -_-

[sleepwalker29]

Its the same thing. Hemp is English and Maijuana is spanish. Canabos is arabic, and canabanoidism is aramic. Canabanoidism is mentchened in the Bible and used by Jesus.

[BrightLies]

Comment revised: INDUSTRIAL HEMP IS NOT A DRUG!

>_>

[dragonflygirl1961]

Very cool!! I wish that we could legalise the whole thing, from hemp to marijuana. Regulation and taxation, we could end the deficit, and we could also fund a national health system, as well as help end our dependance upon foriegn oil.

[gravelin08]

If you haven't already, please check out Mike Gravel who is very much still in the Presidential race. He wants to legalize and regulate drugs, bring us alternative energy, off oil and gas in 5 years, carbon in 10, downsize military, repeal income tax for fair tax, provide health care - gravel2008 us

[funnyguise]

Paul vs. Gravel!!!

I'm Canadian but I'm following these two and am excited about how people are starting to wake up!!!
