To The Editor,

How can there be any doubt? HEMP is great and could, once again, be
profitable for American farmers, not to mention beneficial to the
environment. I'm no farmer but it seems with today's technology and
plant science the sky is the limit for this ancient crop.

The question I have is how anyone can justify the government's total
prohibition, of a plant? God gave us cannabis, just as it says in
Genesis 1:29, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth,..." Everyone
knows that which is given by God can not legally or morally be taken
away without just cause. Otherwise it's called tyranny, the stuff
revolutions are made of.

Farmers unite, the Next Revolution awaits you, PLANT HEMP!
