"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
It's Hemp History Week!
"The history of federal drug laws clearly shows that at one time the U.S. government understood and accepted the distinction between hemp and marijuana. Founding fathers George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams grew hemp and advocated for its use. Abraham Lincoln used hemp seed oil to fuel his household lamps. It wasn't until the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act was passed in 1970 that industrial hemp farming became illegal in the United States."
