It’s Time to Legalize Cannabis

Hey Kids, what time is it? It’s Time to Legalize Cannabis! Reason’s Mike Riggs does a succinct interview with David Bronner, of Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps. Mr. Bronner is not an actual doctor but he is an actual small business owner and activist who is forced to purchase Hemp Oil from a foreign source merely because it’s illegal to grow the source of the oil.

A sad irony given how important hemp was to Colonial America and that the federal government grew hemp on the land where the U.S. Pentagon stands. If it is found that that olives can get you high and threaten established government sponsored businesses then Bertolli better watch its Extra Virgin ass.

Bills SB3501 and HR1831 are presently in Congress to exclude the definition of industrial hemp from marijuana, and we should all urge our representatives to support these critical initiatives for our economy, if nothing else.
