So...this is Cannabis. Well, recently Mr. Universe, Arnold, has stated that California should debate the use of marijuana. And, according to the Zogby Poll, about 52% of U.S. citizens support the legalization of marijuana.
I have a very different opinion of this situation.
Here is my rant.
Let's not jump too fast into legalizing marijuana when there are better positions to take by legalizing the production of hemp.
My wife and I pay too much money to purchase hempseeds as a Canadian import. What is hempseed? It is perhaps the elixir of all nuts! Great for you! Tasty in salads. High in omega-3 and -6 fatty acids. Yet, it is expensive to buy because we Americans must import it from Europe and Canada.
So, let's not get too excited about marijuana, see it be legalized, see some nasty repercussion, and then return to making it illegal again. Let's be practical and begin legislation to produce and regulate HEMP!
That is step one!
Hemp rope!
Hemp seeds!
Hemp shoes!
Hemp clothes!
Hemp canvasses!
You name it! Then, once we see the hemp industry take off in this country, then maybe we can speak about a real debate on marijuana and THC.
But, why get high on marijuana when there is a REAL product involved in the Hemp industry!
Just think of this. If cotton was found to contain substances like THC, then we would no longer be using cotton in our clothing. And, if the lobbyists in Congress working to keep cotton, polyester, and other types of fabric on top of the game, then listen up, people. Let the cotton industry start its own side company so they will NOT be losing money on such a good product.
Enough said!
So, this is my rant, though not much of a spiritual one tonight, unless you are high on marijuana! :-)
