What would currently-illegal drugs look like if produced by corporations?

46. you don't know much about this issue, do you?

One of the great values of hemp is that it requires so few pesticides to grow. Hemp is also a valuable crop for phyto-remediation, the use of certain plants to help remove heavy metals from soil. (Sunflowers are another plant useful for this purpose... what sunflowers and hemp share are strong, hollow stems, fwiw.) This argument, to me, is nonsense and displays a basic ignorance of the economics of farming and the actual, productive uses of hemp.

The cost of agricultural production include the costs of things like pesticides... so you have a cash crop that requires LITTLE TO NO pesticides... and you think that farmers are going to want to include pesticides, and more expensive seeds, because.... because this is a scare tactic being used by the anti-legalization neo-liberals?

Hemp is valuable for things like green insulation, for its seed as a food source that could help reduce world hunger, and for its profile as the most complete source of EFAs for humans. Nutritionally, hemp is one of the best products available.

Hemp seed, the product of hemp production and the source of oil and other food products, is created by allowing male and female plants to grow together so that the process of pollination and, thus, seed production, is allowed.

Recreational cannabis as it currently exist is based upon SEEDLESS production of female plants that produce buds BECAUSE they are not pollinated.

If you think that people are going to choose to purchase "round-up" recreational cannabis - you're incredibly...lacking in knowledge of the entire subculture. People who are part of cannabis culture tend to have healthier diets and weigh less than people who spend their time demonizing cannabis. Stereotypes of junk food to the contrary, this has been the profile that arose from studies that actually looked at users, rather than relied on those who engage in propaganda.

That's why I say your fear is a reflection of ignorance.

Or propaganda.
