Why can we legaly buy hemp paper?!?!

Ok, Ive been buying hemp paper lik hempire for year and the other day it dawned on me. Wait.. Wtf.. Hemp is ilegal!! So I figured well maybe hemp somehow is grown outside of states and then exported here and is able to be sold as a product once its out of its um.. smokable state? So I took off to google and found several places that I read and found out in states where marijuana is ilegal that hemp is also iligal in any form. So how we get hempire papers??!?!?!?

ask china, they're the worlds leading producer..

The illegality of industrial HEMP is fucking retarded.

We banned a fiber.

Go america.

Since industrial hemp has no thc in it, its products can be imported into the US. We just can't grow it. It would compete with too many other industries.

I think we should all just try to legalize industrial hemp... and THEN start going for the legalization of the home grown kind


I mean really... Whats the official reasoning for it being illegal? Industrial hemp I mean.

It is illegal because the lobbyists for the industries that it would compete with keep paying their bribes(campaign contributions), and our law makers return the favor with legislation that hurts anyone/thing that will threaten their source of revenue. I don't think we will ever get an honest debate about legalizing pot until all campaign contributions are required to be made on an anonymous basis.

and that money buys votes from the poor.

Yep, hemp products are legal in the USA, e.g. hemp cloths, paper, food products (like hemp granola), and even hemp shampoo and skin cream. My wife buys the skin care products. The raw material (Hemp) is illegal in the USA so other countries where it is legal make the stuff and import it into the USA. They say there are over 5000 uses for hemp, the fibers, and seeds including making fiber board to build houses.
Look at all the farm and industry jobs we could have if the government would admit that hemp IS NOT the same as cannabis because you would need to smoke POUNDS of it before you would ever get an effect. It is so low in THC that it isn't even worth trying to do an extraction because it would take tons to get even a small amount of worthless hash.
Not to mention the nutrition of the seeds for food. Only the soy bean has higher protein.
