Reilly Capps got a bull's-eye (What Drives Cop Shop, Dec. 17, 2008) calling to end cannabis (marijuana) prohibition. Although the cannabis initiative failed a few years ago, all the ski town/counties pass it; Summit with 62% and San Miguel with a very respectable 74 percent. One of the most luciferous consequence of cannabis prohibition though is how it affects "climate change" and America's economy by also prohibiting and exterminating hemp (without THC). The United States uses corn for ethanol because hemp is illegal. America has had technology to build and fuel cars using hemp since the 1930s. Nearly every product produced from petroleum can be made with hemp resins. Some estimates indicate using 10 percent of America's farmland to cultivate hemp would eliminate any need for foreign petroleum. Before greedy ignoids conspired to prohibit hemp, it was referred to as the billion-dollar crop, when the B-word wasn't thrown around so loosely. A sane argument to perpetuate prohibiting free American farmers from utilizing the plant doesn't exist. Even communist Chinese farmers grow hemp; You know, that country America has the highest debt with. And consider how many factories and factory jobs America has lost overseas due to hemp prohibition. If America still grew hemp as it did back in the day, We'd still have those factories because hemp fields need factories nearby. America's future political atmosphere may be more conducive to changing hemp's status as a Schedule I drug along side h***** and L**. Americans must work hard the next few years to re-introduce hemp as a component of American agriculture. In fact, environmentally conscientious Americans must fight harder than big oil and other mega corporations which profit immensely off hemp prohibition and spend huge fortunes to guarantee its existence. Because hemp prohibition is anti-American and it's shucking the country.
