I'm a marijuana addict. I smoked my first joint in 1959, that's 50 yrs ago. It came from Cuba before Castro. Since then I have smoked pot all over the world and in some places hashish.

Legal pot would be great but we would also have to repeal legislation that gives the authority to the DEA to license the cultivation of industrial hemp. They have never issued a license even though they could. Check with N. Dakota farmers who have filed suit.
We have to get rid of this administrative override to get to planting hemp again. We could take acreage in the Soil Bank as well as a small portion of the 500 million unplanted acres and eliminate oil imports and other hemp product imports creating millions of jobs for Americans. The EC, Canada, Russia and Latin American countries are already well ahead of us in this revival of industrial hemp cultivation. The EC provides subsidies to its farmers, the Canadian have a special facility for lending to the industry to assist it in the buildup of hemp exports since demand from American consumers has increased significantly during the past three years.
Why should our farmers be penalized by the DEA's irrational policies and practices related to industrial hemp?
if we could eliminate these constraints we could take a huge step toward energy independence since an acre of industrial hemp produces 300-500 gallons of gasoline. Also, an acre of hemp produces four times the amount of paper produced from an acre of trees. Hemp can replace anyone of over 20,000 products now produced by petroleum or synthetic processes.
