What are the physical properties of Hemp vs. Horse Hair?
Um. I’ve been wearing hemp cotton shirts for years. I sure am glad no cop has ripped them off my body and thrown me in jail.
And they still don't get the "most scientists are political beings with agendas"
Here is an example of hemp + cotton. It lasts a long time, drapes nicely, and washes better than the non-natural fibers. Alone. It’s too canvassy. But with cotton, it’s soft and substantial.

We import lotsa goods made of hemp. We just can’t grow it. Pretty stupid we are.
$60 for a tee shirt? Give me a sewing needle and some legal hemp, I’ll start my own line! This is the moment!
Just in time for a few hangings.
Utterly disgraceful that hemp was ever outlawed.
Somebody wake up Woody Harrelson and tell him he won.
Congress did what the textile/lumber/newspaper lobby paid them to do.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that, regardless what FDR’s state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices wanted everybody to think about the scope of Congress’s Commerce Clause powers (1.8.3) when it wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress’s favor imo, FDR’s justices wrongly ignored the following.
They ignored that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified the basic reading skills interpretation of the Commerce Clause, that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate commerce, including agricultural production.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 3: To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;"
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." -Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"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.
So wherever Sen. McConnell went to law school, I hope that somebody else paid his tuition.
On the other hand, when buyer and seller are domiciled in different states, then because of Commerce Clause, when Congress says “jump,” buyer and seller must typically ask “how high?”
Bookmarked.
To be voted on after a joint session in Congress.
Thanks for the ping.
Hemp should never have been criminalized in the 1st place.
Glad to see this extreme nonsense is coming to an end.
Enlisted in Oct '74 and they didn't start the golden flow tests until around '78 - wasn't odd to see folks passing a joint while waiting in line at the base theater back then....
