19. If industrial hemp ever gets legalized, we won't need your cotton

Fri Feb 24, 2012, 08:48 AM

Feb 2012

or have to keep buying our hemp clothing from outside the USA. Hemp clothing lasts a lot longer anyway. *

Never had or care to have a Krispy Kreme donut.

Was forced to spend summers in Central Florida as a kid, so you can keep the south. At this point, You couldn't pay me to waste precious vacation time there. (Why would I want to go to your beaches and worry about oil contamination?)

And you said good music "in this country" ... so I can be just fine listening to British and other international music then and you can keep all the American stuff.

Keep your south.

Win, win, as far as I'm concerned.

EDIT: * Several New England states have begun preparing for this day by already authorizing specific farms to grow industrial hemp when it becomes legal.
