Hemp and the Rule of Law

Excerpt from the 55 minute documentary, "Hemp and the Rule of Law" chronicles the movement to legalize the growing of hemp for American farmers. Hemp is the non-narcotic relative of marijuana, once grown on American farms. Today, it is under the control of the Drug Enforcement Administration, who call it marijuana. The U.S. is the only industrialized nation to outlaw the crop.

We need to do away with the DEA.

Government is the problem. The constitution was written on hemp. The prohibition of hemp is a crime against humanity.

@schlubber215 YES I learned this true explanation of the status of drug law from an organization called the Drug Equality Alliance in the UK. The organization has put an argument before the European courts that is based on the Rule of Law.

@101clackers Exactly right. If someone were a diehard activist, they might work in concert with other diehard activists to personally present criminal charges to grand juries to seek indictments against prosecutors and judges for conducting trials absent corpus delicti, hence absent jurisdiction.

@schlubber215 That's right. A 'thing' can't be illegal. The law regulates people with respect to their property.. The Rule of Law requires that people have equality rights. There is no such thing in law as illegal vs. illegal drugs. The law governs people who have equality rights before the law. The law must distinguish between persons engaged in peaceful activities and persons engaged in activities causing social harm with respect to any substance. The notion of "illegal drugs" is propaganda.

[schlubber215]

The insane thing about this is that hemp is already legal. It can't be made lllegal. For a crime to exist, there must be corpus delicti. Corpus delicti, no matter where you are, always has at least two elements 1) The violation of an individual right 2) Fact of injury, loss, or harm. No victim = No crime = court lacks jurisdiction to conduct a trial. There must be CD for the court to have jurisdiction to hear a case. Lacking CD the court must dismiss. The court has no discretion on this issue.

Ron Paul and Barney Frank have proposed legislation to end federal marijuana prohibition. Please call your senator and tell them you support hemp it's food medicine fuel shelter.

Americans (I am one) can be such dumbasses sometimes. You know this is about money or started out that way. That is all we care about.

Just what is the National drug control strategy? Whatever it is it isn't working. Why do we let these people have so much control? What is their purpose?

And what would be the problem with legalizing not only hemp, but marijuana? Really? I'm serious.
