Hemp farming uses the male pot plant which does not contain any THC which is the active ingredient in the female pot plant that causes the “high”.
Shows you exactly how far down into the gutter the morals of this country have gone. They wouldn’t dare nullify Federal law on abortion or queers marrying one another, but growing hemp, now that’s worth taking a stand on.
It’s about time. Our store shelves have plenty of hemp twine....imported of course.
Good! Hemp is useful for so many things.
Odds are drug dogs will alert on it
DuPont and others will not like this
Well, you can’t nullify Federal Law. Period.
Having said that, perhaps this isn’t in direct conflict. I haven’t read the Fed statute.
I do agree with the new law in my old home state.
Why on Earth some of these States don’t work to convince their Congressional delegations to do this is beyond me. Maybe they do, but I haven’t seen it.
Someone is going to take that hemp and make 497 and one half foot of rope....but that won’t help the Titanic.
While I agree with the Virginia House on this issue, I wonder on what basis the House is claiming the federal prohibition on this issue to be unconstitutional? I know that a pre-FDR era generation of state sovereignty-respecting majority justices had clarified that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate INTRAstate agricultural production.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited. None to regulate agricultural production is given, and therefore legislation by Congress for that purpose is forbidden [emphasis added].” - United States v. Butler, 1936.
Nullifying hemp prohibition is a start.
Why not start nullifying abortion and homosexual marriage?
EPA? Many, many others.
Once Americans begin recognizing that the federal govt does not omnipotent authority in all matters, we will all be better in this country.
I guess a High Five is called for.
