Ralph Nader backs Ron Paul's hemp bill


It won't get you high, says Ralphie, who doesn't admit trying it, but the DEA is blocking industrial hemp legalization. Nader writes:

The DEA says that industrial hemp grown next to marijuana can camouflage and impede law enforcement against the latter. Strange... since industrial hemp is only 1/3 of 1 percent THC, growing it next to marijuana would cross-pollinate and dilute the illegal marijuana plants. No marijuana grower wants industrial hemp anywhere near his or her pot plots.

You can smoke a bushel of industrial hemp and not get high. Far too little THC. Like poppy seeds on bread. You may, however, get a headache, if you try.


Testify, Ralph.
Moreover, George Washington & Thomas Jefferson grew it, for crying out loud!
