(hippie days-cops NOT any kind of forgiving). An elderly farmer lady (deed dated 1886) was growing hemp to provide shade for her chickens (and had been doing so for her whole life). Dumbaxx cops got involved, tore up her plants and charged her. Total area uproar !! It made the Vancouver Sun newspaper and the end result was the cops had to replace her plants and were sued for an undisclosed amount. Legal in Canada! Make you cough if ya smoked it -no buzz.

THANKS..John,PA 03-21-2013 09:58:06 71.207.117.213 Report to Moderator	Re: HEMP in reply to dustycoal, 03-21-2013 05:41:25   For years I had "wild cotton" growing along the grass runway at my family's airstrip, here at W05. Seems like 'dem hurricanes down there can really pollute our CLOVER, 3&4 leaf type. So, since I just returned from the National Headquarters for NOAA, and while there, I had a chance to SEE for SHORE just what those Phd. Scientists put on their waiting room televisions, WOW, WOW,WOW. So, I just can't help the next nemo's damages to my LETTUCE patches. HEMP is already on order. 1-BOLT's worth. So, like always, this poor farmer stands a chance to be in FEDERAL PRISON if caught with some seeds! ;0) You-all have a good one. John,PA cabbage planter in re-cycled Pepsi decanters .

Here is a recent article regarding Vermont's efforts and I just read something about Kentucky doing the same thing. http://www.thedailychronic.net/2013/16270/vermont-farmers-could-grow-hemp-this-year/ [Reply]  [No Email]

They grow it in Canada and some in Congress are trying to legalize the fiber type here in the US. Side note. Henry Ford wanted to use hemp oil as a fuel for his Model T.
