Didn’t read much of the article, assumed it was a statement on legalizing pot.

Happy 4th to you and yours. We just got some rain, but I am thinking it will pass soon.

Hopefully so. You have to barbecue outside on the Fourth.

Probably stronger and longer lasting than a cotton flag. I would guess cheaper, easier to grow and less labor intensive to prep and spin the fibers into that more durable, but less comfortable thread.
I saw something, History channel?, about how slavery would have just gone away all by itself over a fairly short time, but the sudden popularity of cotton just as suddenly made slavery very necessary and very popular, which made cotton more profitable and desirable, and hemp much less so, in fact, effectively banned all the way into obscurity.
There's a weird sort of circular irony(?) in there somewhere, if some fear of black Americans somehow justified the reason to make hemp illegal after what cotton's success put us all through, that has even lead to this war on drugs, common sense and the Bill of Rights.
Where the hell is that Reset button?!? We need to reboot this conversation.

Agree 100%!!!!! It is also completely perverse that I can drink all day on July 4th (I’m not drinking all day!)& people can’t smoke marijuana. That I will never understand.
Happy 4th!

I should have been clearer—A flag with a MJ leaf on it.
I read it wrong.

Hate to burst your bubbler, but illegal drugs from cartels still flood Colorado and other states.
Alcohol is legal but still we have illicit trade in it.
Cartels won’t simply walk away and haven’t.

You should spank you yourself for your ambiguous comment, then apologize. TO YOURSELF.
