America will always have a drug problem as long as the DEA is around. Yeah give the organization who's future depends on illegal drugs the power to make drugs illegal. Or in this case, rope.

But hemp itself isn't a drug....

Hemp is the fibers. What the hell is the point?

The DEA is very quickly running the American peoples hospitality out...

hemp won't get you high if you tried. North Carolina has the first house made of industrial hemp fiber in Asheville and it is actually very feasible for more houses to be built in the future.

Good article from a Denver based company that ships CBD to all 50 states. https://www.ipuffvape.com/cbd-reclassification-creates-unnecessary-concern-heres-the-reality/

Reading the rules it bans the import of hemp extracts... so isodol would be banned. But companies like cbd distillery are not.

Thid is ment to track the IMPORT of cbd. My guess is GW pharma is behind this.

The DEA cannot override the farm bill act under any reason for the sole fact that it has alreadly went to the highest court of law. The DEA can limit permits to grow hemp, and revoke them for not declaring taxes, but thats about it

The farm bill act of 2014 made Industrial Hemp legal for states to grow under pilot programs. The DEA is trying to prevent things that have been accepted by our governing officials. The DEA just will not let go of their childish behaviours. The HIA will probably win this lawsuit as well, just like they did with Hemp oil and other Hemp health foods.

Might as well enjoy the proper green stuff, at least for now. The DEA are really getting too high and mighty here. Best to tell them that you'll be using the proper weed now that they've decided to treat CBD the same as THC...might as well enjoy both of 'em.

All because Trump's friends in the lumber industry aren't happy with their declining market share...
