One problem though, this is about the drug as well. YES, I know the difference but you may have noticed the stipulation of 0.3 percent THC. Folks, that's a genetically modified strain. We should not give the government complete control over the industrial, medicinal or recreational use of this plant. Every American should have the freedom to grow this "plant" for it's natural purpose... Fuel, Food, Fiber, Paper, Medicine and the SAFEST Recreational Drug known to man! DO NOT SETTLE FOR ANYTHING LESS!... 44607@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 05 Oct 2008 01:59:15 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#43948 it is good for string and stuff... 43948@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Thu, 25 Sep 2008 13:18:50 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#40983 Like, FUEL!... 40983@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 25 Aug 2008 10:25:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#30623 Perfect comment, Doug. The essential truths. Truth in America has become so...politicized it's all mud. Follow the plight of this clear and thoughtful bill (HR 1009) to see just how muddied the truth can be.... 30623@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sun, 17 Feb 2008 00:25:41 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#30300 "Hemp is of first necessity....to the wealth and protection of the country." Thomas Jefferson (1791) "Make the most of the hemp seed and sow it everywhere." George Washington (1794) We need this important crop back in American farms so Americans can once again use it's resources, as was done for hundreds of years. Understanding hemp's enormous potential impact on many key industries very much supports the claim that the threat hemp posed back in the 1930s to special interests of natural resource companies (petroleum, plastics, timber and paper industries) accounts for its original ban. This isn't about drugs...it's about creating products (again) in a sustainable method.... 30300@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 09 Feb 2008 19:53:23 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#22020 Yes Hemp for Victory! The reason people vote against hemp is because they are not educated in the wonderful benefits of it. It is assumed that hemp and marijuana are the same thing, when actually they are very different. Vote for HR 1009!... 22020@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 06 Oct 2007 13:45:10 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#18557 As an analogy, outlawing growing industrial hemp because it is a member of the cannibus family is rather like trying to outlaw potatoes because they are a member of the deadly nightshade family. It's utterly inane.... 18557@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Fri, 10 Aug 2007 18:14:58 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#18160 When I see people voting to not allow farmers to grow hemp, I really wonder who they are. It's almost like saying farmers can't grow wheat---although hemp is a superior crop to wheat and everything else. Hemp seed is the finest food of all.... 18160@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 30 Jul 2007 01:19:23 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#16962 Hemp is good for fiber, cordage, clothing, land restoration, an alternative to clearcutting forests, and for the restoration of economically depressed rural areas including those needing alternatives to tobacco production.

Potentially the most abundant, globally-distributed agricultural crop, hemp was identified in Executive Order 12919 as a "strategic food resource," available by "essential civilian demand." Because Cannabis produces large quantities of monterpenes, which have been shown to slow global warming, the "self-evident, god-given, natural right" to grow hemp is beyond the rightful jurisdiction of any court.... 16605@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Sat, 23 Jun 2007 09:58:54 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1009.html#16078 Legalize hemp!... 16078@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 29 May 2007 19:52:52 EDT
