More big Government

...I'm personally in favor of legalizing Hemp and the mary-wanna. Makes good bidness sense.

Agree. KY used to have a good hemp industry. Might be something to take the place of tobacco.

Ditto here. At one time Hemp was a thriving industry in this state. My wife and I have purchased some hemp products at a local county festival we attend every year. One was a soap and the other a hand and body lotion, awesome stuff. You can make darn near anything out of that stuff. State officials are against because they say it's too hard for law enforcement to distinguish between Hemp and actual Marijuana. Besides it makes to much sense and that alone would keep the stupid government from doing anything.

It's funny how Alcohol, Tobacco and the proposed gambling is fine but growing a product that can do alot of good and provide work for people who want to grow the stuff isn't even a realistic alternative.

Waaaaaay too much. In the long run, really does not help that much. Would be better to legalize it and spend money on drug education. The only way that you'll make any real dent in drug abuse problems is through education. In addition, if its legal, you'll cut way down on the gang wars due to drug territories and such.

Yep seems like a no brainer to legalize it but can you imagine the uproar if it was ever really attempted? Oh man the world would come to a screeching halt if we admitted that what we are doing doesn't work.

I know counties in California have begun to tax the sale of marijuana and have really seen some great benefits from it. Saw it on some Liberal news show. Saturday night live or Letterman I think.
