I agree!

[kdi307]

if you legalize it then the different governments will tax it. and then retax it.

How do you tax a weed?

Think about it...

If they could tax a weed, it would've been legalized and taxed a long time ago.

To date, twenty-eight states have introduced hemp legislation and sixteen have passed legislation; nine (Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Vermont and West Virginia) have removed barriers to its production or research.

A federal hemp bill was introduced in Congress on 1/13/07. The bill excludes industrial hemp from the definition of "marijuana" in the Controlled Substances Act and gives states the exclusive authority to regulate the growing and processing of industrial hemp under state law. Please see our Federal Legislation page for much more information on H.R. 1866, the "Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009."
