Yes Ma'am it's amazing. Plus they say a good crop is worth $50,000 an acre! I predict we'll be the biggest hemp producers in the world shortly. And we'll have a surplus of bees!

Why did it ever become illegal to grow hemp in this country?

Howdy today Melinda! The government didn't like the thought of everyone getting high on weed so they banned all cannabis plants which included industrial hemp. It was a stupid move because hemp has so many commercial uses.

That was in 1937 but what's interesting is that they asked farmers to raise it during WWII so they could make canvas for war supplies like tents and such. Then after the war the ban went back into effect. lol.

Another failed government policy! We do have a lot of those. It is rather amazing that this country has survived as long as it has.

Yes! lol..if you want to be sure something is ruined, get the government involved! lol.
