Legalize it, don’t criticize it 3

The U.S. is the only developed nation that does not cultivate industrial hemp as an economic crop. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act could change that -- if it's passed.

Given the Bush administration's retrograde attitude toward pot (which yes, yes, I know, has nothing to do with hemp), I highly doubt this bill has a chance. But I could be wrong.

Joel Makower has the details.

    AlterNet
    John Tierney
    LA Times

    Again on 'the other stuff'I had already seen the L.A. Times article linked in the comment above, but I hadn't gotten around to writing on it.  When I saw the topic of this post on my RSS feed I was afraid I'd been scooped.  Fortunately, I am now
