when hemp can be farmed in the open and under the beautiful sunshine of freedom.

I have one nightmare though. Once the cartels begin to feel the pinch on their income, there may be a period where we will have to defend our freedom in a different way. The age old mafioso system is ancient and remains an underlying shadow that is still in the background all over the world. We may be out of one battle... how do we stay out of the next?
