Hemp growing long has been illegal under federal law due to its relation to marijuana plants, even though you can't get high from hemp. As Congress eases up on hemp restrictions, and could perhaps legalize hemp farming, some lawmakers want to see if …

As legislators meet to decide the fate of industrial hemp in Kentucky several questions are left unanswered in the agriculture community.

The Kentucky Senate recently passed a bill legalizing the industrial cultivation of hemp, paving way for farmers in the state to explore the economic viability of the plant.
Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell working with Sen. Rand Paul, along with two senators from Oregon, introduced a bill that would allow farmers to begin growing the crop. They explained that expanding the hemp industry is a smart way to create jobs and add much needed economic opportunities to the state.
“This legislation has the potential to create jobs and provide a boost to Kentucky’s economy and to our farmers and their families,” McConnell told reporters during a press conference.
The two Senators from Oregon, Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, are pushing hard for similar measures in their state, which recently voted against a measure that would have legalized marijuana for recreational use in the state.
But research suggests that the economic possibilities are real and is the main driving force behind these collective efforts. A report facilitated by the Hemp Industries Association published in January details that retail sales in the United States of products that used imported hemp were estimated to have been valued at over million in 2011 alone.
Hemp itself has been used by various civilizations over time and currently can be used in over 25,000 different applications. Hemp is used in building material and biofuels and can even be used in plastics, soap and clothes.

However, with the increased advocacy for state legislators to pass measures easing laws on Hemp, those in law enforcement are cautioning that increased hemp production would lead to an increase in illegal growers and that it is just as dangerous as marijuana.
“We’ve heard that you can’t get high off of hemp. You can get high off of hemp,” warned Kentucky State Police Commissioner Rodney Brewer.
Congressman Greg Stumbo, of Prestonsburg, echoed those thoughts saying the increased risk to law enforcement is not worth the possible economic benefit.
“It’s not that we’re saying ‘no,'” Stumbo told AP. “We’re simply saying that the evidence doesn’t show that there’s enough of a market to override the concerns that the law enforcement community has.”

A new bill was presented to congress by Ron Paul… to make industrial hemp legal. This is a no brainer. There are so many uses for industrial hemp. This is the reason it is illegal, not because you can smoke it. I fully support medicinal marijuana but I support industrial hemp, moreso.
Maybe this episode should have been #420, but that’s a long time from now.
lol.

MANTENHA O RESPEITO
D2 e preste atenção
Portas se abrem e aumentam o poder da visão
Isso é o meu compromisso
E se eu fumo ninguém tem nada com isso,
Não, não preciso da sua postura
A minha segurança eu faço na cintura
Um hipócrita vai e os valores não caem
É tanto preconceito que eu não aguento mais
Se você tem amor pelo que tem no peito
D2 mas mantenha o respeito
Eu canto dig dig dig
E o que acontece eu vou contar
Quando eu fumo marijuana como eu fico: chapado
Além do que me acontece de me chapar faz olhar
Me fascina, me ilumina deixa a cabeça no lugar
“No body move, nobody get hurt”
Ninguém se move e ninguém se machucará então
“Nobody move, nobody get hurt”
Respeito é bom e mantém os dentes no lugar
Eu fumo porque eu quero sentir os efeitos do ragga
Porque quem gosta disso já nasce no sangue,
Rapá eu ouço yelow, buju banton, cutty ranks e shabba
Porque eles querem me impedir de fazer fumaça então
Se liga meu irmão essa é a situação
Sinta o groove do ragga o peso do refrão
(refrão)
amigo faça aquilo que é direito
acabe agora com seu preconceito
se voce tem amor pelo
(Enquanto uns choram outros vem e os devoram
O meu pensamento não é como o seu
Tabaco ou maconha, o que te envergonha
Eu não sou menos digno porque fumo maconha
Me contem, me contem aonde eles se escondem
Atrás de leis que não favorecem vocês
Então por que não resolvem de uma vez
Ponham as cartas na mesa e discutam essas leis
Planet Hemp, meu irmão, os criminosos ?
Porque eu luto pelos direitos dos nossos, não !
Pessoas inocentes morrem e vão pruma gelada
Eu ouço ” bang bang ” e não vou fazer nada ?
Tem que parar com isso acabar com essa matança
Enquanto tem gente morrendo tem outros enchendo a pança
Mas se você quer brigar ponha a barba de molho
Comigo é dente por dente,meu irmão, olho por olho
Se você tem amor pelo que que tem no peito
D2 mas mantenha o respeito
D2 mas mantenha o respeito (4x)

Director Rod Pitman chronicles the state of Oregon’s historic attempt to legislate the legalization of industrial hemp. Although this initial attempt failed, the documentary remains a teaching tool to help citizens of The United States legalize the production of hemp as a alternative to petroleum based products in their state. Anything that can be made from oil can be made from hemp. Industrial hemp provides food, fiber, fuel, medicine and hemp plastics. If the United States Congress were to allow the individual states to manage the production of industrial hemp, this would produce sustainable jobs to help save the health of the planet as well as local and global economies.
The year is 1999, North Dakota, Hawaii and Minnesota have passed legislation allowing their farmers to grow industrial hemp. The Kentucky Supreme Court has agreed to hear actor Woody Harrelson’s case, which challenges Kentucky law that classifies hemp as marijuana.
The Oregon State House Agriculture and Forestry Committee heard house Bill 2933 sponsored by Rep. Floyd Prozanski which would let Oregon farmers grow hemp, a cousin to marijuana that is useless for drug purposes but whose fibers, seeds, and oil have a multitude of industrial uses.
Seven of the nine members of the House Agriculture and Forestry Committee including Chairman Larry Wells, R-Jefferson had told Prozanski they were willing to send the bill out for a floor vote. House Speaker Lynn Snodgrass told Wells not to take up the bill again. Wells, agreed that Prozanski probably had the votes to send the bill to the floor. But, he said, he had hearing on the bill, and would not bring it up for a committee vote unless she approved.
Lynn Snodgrass, Speaker of the House of Representatives for the state of Oregon did not approve of the bill. Subsequently, it died April 30, 1999, without being put to a vote by the representatives of the state of Oregon.
