I drove by this store today. I'm not sure what to think of it:

What's to think about.

Hemp is an agricultural product used for paper, textiles and cordage.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Soon coming to a street corner near you.

My wife is taking CBD oil for insomnia. She sleeps like a lamb now and wakes up refreshed.

beaverpeeler,
It's my understanding that CBD oil has no psychoactive effects, is that true? Happy to hear it works for your wife.
It's sometime described as nearly a miracle cure-all. Just trying to figure out the truth from the hype.

Great stuff. Just plain old pot is also very good for getting rid of pain.

Nice, get your guns and pat at the same store. One stop shopping.

lol...good one Les...Good morning

From what I understand what your hearing is true. They are starting to grow a lot of Hemp in my area and are processing the hemp for the oil here as well. My son has been helping them process the stalk etc. after school. I may start using some just to try it out.

All hemp here is tested and has to be less than 3% THC or it is destroyed. Very rigorous back ground checks etc. just to be able to grow it.

Wadded up hemp fiber is supposed to be good wadding in a black powder shotgun. Same with flax fiber or dried Spanish moss. I'm a little skeptical about the health benefits. People advocating it sound a lot like snake oil salesmen to me. hard to believe the same product can relieve arthritis, cure shingles, stop alzheimers and make your wife feel amorous again.

My grandmother was ahead of her time. About 30 years ago, when she was 80 or so, she said that, "folks that smoke pot never seem to amount to much " . Up here in my area, that seems to hold true .

I'm not sure about the generalization but in my family that is certainly the case.

hops is another taking off big here.

Our founding fathers grew hemp.

Hmph...

An American over the age of 21 should be allowed to buy and use pot if he chooses. When it becomes legal, will folks be allowed to grow it.

I would be ok with legalizing pot if they did away with welfare for anyone that's 21 and can work

How's that working out for them, I wonder? Federal law dictates that if you purchase one, you cannot purchase the other. Maybe, you can fill out the background check for the gun first, then purchase your pot. It's all about purchasing in the proper order, I suppose.

Maybe it should not be legal for folks who drink alcohol or smoke pot to purchase or own guns? You know, choose one or the other.

Whether they legalize pot or not, they should eliminate welfare, for those able, but unwilling to work.
