Yes, I gave my life to Jesus in a Billy G. crusade back
in the 60's... (but since, became more Clintonesque in my
religion.. AKA, *true religion* requires (soul) penetration,
not just oral service.)

To me, the interesting thing is "economics".
Eventually, every valuable commodity in an (even marginally) free market
system gets dutifully taxed by each of the onion shell, jurisdictions of
government. Right?
Currently, the US Federal government, due to their own idiocy/policy, has
locked themselves out of hemp revenues, and continues to "Wage
a War" (spend money against) something so much more innocuous
when compared to alcohol that it makes transgenerism easy to understand.
..and the Declation of Independence and the Constitution were
written on it.
Hemp is what mankind should be making paper out of.
(it is much more economical when compared to trees,
and doesn't require toxic chemicals to process..)
Hemp should be used for construction materials, it being one of
the most easily grown (weed) that produces fiberglass-like
construction characteristics.
Not to mention its medicinal properties.
Not to mention.. well.. Cheech and Chong.
