SUPPORT HEMP

To The Editor:

Communist Chinese farmers grow hemp while American farmers are prohibited;
that's anti-American (Letter: Legalize Pot, Nov. 30, 2008)!

Instead of embracing hemp for what it is; a God-awesome creation,
America's leaders strive to exterminate it. Before greedy and
politically motivated ignoids conspired to prohibit hemp, it was
referred to as a billion-dollar crop, when the B word wasn't used so
loosely.

A sane argument to continue prohibiting free American farmers from
utilizing the plant doesn't exist. Some estimates indicating using 10
percent of Americans farmland to cultivate hemp would eliminate all
need for foreign petroleum. Discussion of alternative fuels without
mentioning hemp is foolish.

America's future political atmosphere may be more conducive to
changing hemp 's status as a schedule I drug along side heroin and
LSD. Americans must work hard the next few years to re-establish hemp
as a component of American agriculture. In fact, environmentally
conscientious Americans must fight harder than big oil and other mega
corporations, which profit immensely off hemp prohibition and spend
huge fortunes to guarantees existence.

For decades, government deceived Americans into accepting hemp and
cannabis prohibition, and it's destroying the entire world. Citizens
may Google and uncover enough information to make an intelligent
person angry. It's time for people to use that anger to force
political leaders to end this ridiculous prohibition that should have
never been started
