HEMP CAN BE REGULATED
Industrial hemp is grown in Canada, Great Britain, Sweden, Germany and many
other countries. Our strongest allies allow production of hemp while at the
same time enforcing drug laws.
Police in these countries report that hemp farming poses no barrier to
drug-law enforcement. Permits to grow hemp are issued by the government and
fields are monitored by the department of agriculture.
Anti-drug fervor should be held at bay o0n this issue so that Kentucky
farmers can earn an honest living growing a valuable crop.
When hemp is a legal crop in Kentucky, our government will have no problem
regulating it. After all, isn't that what our government does best? Hemp
will be closely watched wherever it is grown.
