Kentucky legalizes hemp

Here's a stunner from a state where you never thought a story like this could happen...

Kentucky legislators have passed - and the governor is letting become law - a bill that will legalize the growing of industrial hemp, provided the federal government ever lifts its restrictions. Kentucky joins only 8 other states in passing this bold measure.

It could be bolder, of course. I think Kentucky should just ignore federal restrictions and legalize hemp regardless. This bill also does not legalize marijuana in any ingestible form, so we still have a ways to go to banish the failed War on Drugs.

Hemp is oil, hemp is soil, hemp is loyal, hemp is you.
