Kentucky set to be first state to legalize hemp production | |
GLPollack (OP) User ID: 36968875 United States 03/29/2013 05:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | “This historic legislation puts Kentucky in position to be first in line if and when the federal government legalizes production of industrial hemp,” Agriculture Commissioner James Comer said in a statement this week. “By passing this bill, the General Assembly has signaled that Kentucky is serious about restoring industrial hemp production to the Commonwealth and doing it in the right way. That will give Kentucky’s congressional delegation more leverage when they seek a federal waiver allowing Kentucky farmers to grow hemp.” “As soon as the governor signs the bill, I’ll be on the plane to Washington” to seek a waiver, added Comer.

Here for the moment User ID: 14554879 United States 03/29/2013 07:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A county north of here was pushing hard for it, but from what the city understands is the state is gonna throw it down hard Quoting: General Lee Its gonna be non bud bearing hemp at that, they want to open a rope factory, state police are arguing they won't be able to tell the difference when it comes to confiscation, this state spends so much on destroying crops out east that if this happened so many jobs would be lost The biggest opponent is the corn bread mafia. Google them. Also, Cannabis Sativa is a very tall and lanky plant; whereas Cannabis Indica (the so called "good stuff") is short and squatty, and I've heard told, very skunky with sticky buds - yet the KSP can't tell the difference! Drug proscription protects drug cartels. Legalize it and watch the criminals scream to high heaven through their politicians and corrupt law enforcement mouthpieces. * Note: The descriptive preface of "corrupt" was not necessary when referencing politicians! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 28899888 United States 03/29/2013 09:59 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | They are not the first state to legalize hemp production. It's legal in like 10 of them. No one grows it because the federal government will bring down the full force of the law on them for growing marijuana. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28899888 this is incorrect.... [link to norml.org] Click the hemp check box, then look how many little hats are everywhere. Know this for a fact that they aren't the first either because it became legal in Washington too when the legalized it last December. |

(Im from Kentucky) my thoughts in the OP of that thread apply here too. so i'm gonna paste em. I hope this passes! Quoting: Dr. Acula I will be first to start farming hemp if this is made legal! Its a damn good cash crop! My local economy needs something like this! I NEED this And historically Hemp has roots (pun intended!) in Kentucky! Hemp was used extensively by the United States during World War II. Uniforms, canvas, and rope were among the main textiles created from the hemp plant at this time. Much of the hemp used was cultivated in Kentucky and the Midwest. Quoting: Wikipedia: [link to en.wikipedia.org] Historically, hemp production had made up a significant portion of antebellum Kentucky's economy. Gimmie back my Hemp!

Its nothing like it used to be. and years ago a great deal of tobacco farmers were bought out.. The medical field is all we really got left. There is some logging, some natural gas... but honestly we're dying here... I live in a 3rd world country compared to the rest of the US... hell here is a thread i did about this hell hole i call home lol [link to www.godlikeproductions.com] We NEED Hemp :) _______________________ |

HyruleRupee User ID: 33627665 United States 03/30/2013 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a tobacco base that got bought out years ago. I just had the land and another man would grown it and sell it. I just got the money for the use of the land. Now that it no longer exists.....I sell natural gas to a utilities company from the land that I own. That is all I have to make a living on. My dad was a coal miner and a oil and gas prospector in Eastern Ky. I really feel bad for those who live there these days. I am glad I got out. I guess I really wouldn't have if I hadn't married out of there. God blessed me that's for sure.

The crux of the essay about 'hempe' is thus: "When hempe is spun England's done:" |
