From the article:
“Many of our founding fathers, including Thomas Jefferson and George Washington grew hemp,” Polis said. “Many of the very first American flags were made from hemp cloths. So there’s a real tie in to our countries history and the important rule industrial hemp played in agriculture in our country.”
The first American flag made by Betsy Ross was made from industrial hemp.
Should THEY have been "strung up"??
The last thing I give a shit about today is marijuana...
Denying someone the use of their property is a taking of that property and violates the 5th Amendment.
Perhaps the argument presented by Polis is correct....my sense is there is more to it than just that alone. Just my suspicion and definitely no disrespect to any of our Founding Fathers was intended.
