going after the real criminals.....cough, I would expect no less from this regime. The bankers and Wallstreet-ers are free so at least we've got that going for us.

However correct me if I am wrong. Originally due to conflicts with the Constitution and other rights, hemp was outlawed through the IRS. Somehow they couldn't actually make it illegal so they passed the stamp act which didn't outlaw the plant. So one could purchase a stamp which would allow them to grow hemp, the only problem being you couldn't purchase a stamp.

If anyone has a better handle on this please post. If what is being reported across the globe, that MJ fights cancer, along with it's uses as other medicines, foods, textiles, fuel, lubrication, paper pulp, etc. wouldn't it be a crime against humanity to outlaw it?

All that hopey stuff is toast.
