finally

a small victory for common sense and human decency. a court has overturned a us government charge against a small company that uses hemp oil in their bar soap products in california. the government (dea) will have to pay back the company for its legal expenses. im sure the dea will appeal and so forth, but for now, its encouraging.
hemp is not a drug. its only contains trace amount of thc. ie, it cant be used as a recreational drug. even far right lobby groups state the war on drugs is a complete waste of taxpayers money. ie fraser institute. how long will the hypocrisy and oppression continue?
according to the dea's drug policy logic, poppy seed bagels should be illegal. poppy seeds have trace amounts of opiates(ie for heroin) in them, a far more addictive and destructive substance. but this morning i wasn't arrested while eating my breakfast..why not?
