103. While I believe developmentally, it's not for teens, I do support legalizing it...

I don't think I've said anything that would surprise anyone in my generation.

We should return to hemp products for many, many reasons. The biggest one is the medicinal and NUTRITIONAL benefits of what comes from that bud.

We could have solar, wind, geothermal, greenhousing farms in winter, permaculture landscape for summer and storm-water management.

We could have grow houses for hemp, and all the byproducts, including fabric and rope, other construction materials from this plant.

We could cultivate renewable sources of energy, and when appropriate, cop a buzz after a hard day's work. ETOH related violence (DUI, hit and runs, domestic violence) would be down, and major orgasms could be on the rise.

Plant a seed.

I think you and Voltaire are right. porphyrian Oct 2012 #80
