The "rulemakers" really need to get over themselves soon! This is one of the greatest most useful sustainable plants on the planet. Unlike bamboo (which I also love) it can grow virtually everywhere and it's super resistant to bugs and diseases. I don't think most people realize just how widely used hemp actually WAS in the US, before all that marijuana legislation in the 1930s...

So what are they afraid of? That farmers are going to "mix in" the intoxicant version in their fields?
