THAT is the GROOT of the problem

@Rekkedge Right now I'm paying about $70 for a small vial, less if I get a lower dose

@Groot me either. it's hard. you guys are influencing me. bigly.

THE KEY @Rekkedge is that Farmers are "Licensed" to grow. Do you see the fundamental issue with that?

@Groot Not sure how WI handles that right now

I can see "Licensing" being a big issue

@Groot YES. A "license" is the government charging and controlling your right to do something that should be free.

Restrictions, regulations

You should be free to grow it on your own land

Without all the restrictions and fees

@Gailmi 2nd that

@Rekkedge pretty good . A license is permission to do what would otherwise be illegal.

And that's not illegal

Anymore

Hemp, anyway

It was legal in WI for a long time

Ask yourseld. How is a farmer growing EVER illegal?

Then apparently they decided it should be illegal

And now it's legal again

Not sure how I feel about them legalizing marijuana

@Gailm During both [or more] wars, farmers were required to grow hemp. Rope, canvass, cloth, and paper...plus for shipping and war efforts

I seem to remember reading something about that @Rekkedge

Hemp paper far exceeds wood-pulp paper

@Gailm who is "They" and where did "They" get authority?

@Rekkedge industrial uses?

Hemp canvass and rope is rot resistent

Well, @Groot THOSE are both good questions

"Drugs" didn't become "illegal" until around 1913-14 ..can't recall the Act at the moment..

Well, Gail, when I can get it, I use a sativa strain with the kratom, for pain. It provides more clarity of thought and I am able to focus for longer periods of time despite a normal tendency to be all over the map. I believe, but do not know, that it is a glandular and receptor-related issues.

Hemp was used to make sails in the U.S. first ships....DURABLE.

(((they))) (((them)))?

Its almost unicycle time!

@Groot "Soda Pop" used to contain drugs for ailments

Thinken hemp was used for the best rated bullet proof vest. However, in days past it was never used as the source material (against the law) for our police or army ?

@Rekkedge "Coke" the Cocao-cola company.

I I don't want to take pain killers anymore, and the neuropathy is getting worse as is the back pain

So I'm willing to try something different if it's natural

God said, after looking over Creation, that it was all Good.

I have heard of kratom, but if it makes you goofy, that would have to be a night time remedy

Pepsi contained "pepsin" for stomach ailements. 7 UP had lithium in it for peopkle feeling "down"

Coca Cola had cocaine and people felt great
