Can’t blame you, Mitch. Life must be stressful now, right? Hand me the Eat a Peach double album cover and we’ll take care of that.
This explains the Turtle’s Little Debbie fetish.
And marijuana? It has properties to help medically and is a less dangerous way to feel high without alcohol. Another drug distilled in KY.
hmm, Jeff Sessions can’t be pleased ?
“Hemp and marijuana are the same species, but hemp has a negligible amount of THC, the psychoactive compound that gives marijuana users a high.”
We’re going to need bigger rolling papers:
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

When did McTurtle decide to go green? I must’ve missed that.
Remember, it’s not easy being green…but well worth it.
“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Monday that he’ll introduce legislation to legalize hemp…”
I think a whole lot of Republicans will be turning to hemp between now and November.
(And even more so after that.)
Medical marijuana is going to be grown in Cotton Plant, Arkansas. Everyone has high hopes it will revive the dying town.
Arkansas voters decided in 2016 to legalize the plant for medical use, giving the state an opportunity both to develop a new industry and to address nagging social problems. The state’s licensing program encourages legal marijuana growers to set up shop where the new jobs are needed most, in perennially poor communities.

Sisal will bear their weight just as well and is more readily available.
Hemp was widely grown, especially during WWII, when it went into the making of rope and parachute accessories. In the 50’s, on the farm where I was growing up, hemp grew wildly and was mostly treated as a noxious weed–like ragweed–until it was discovered by the local potheads in the '60s. Here’s a film about growing hemp during WWII. https://www.anandahemp.com/america-grow-hemp-world-war-ii-prohibited/
They’ll be selling their shares in tobacco that many of them have held on long past their sell-by date and trading them in for shares of hemp related business opportunities. Many of them will want to get in from the ground up (probably already have if I know these Congressional assholes). Hemp is cheap to buy into and people have been clamoring for more use of it as a natural fiber.
I should check on where legal hemp is already allowed, and see what this news has done for those prices. Oh look, it took a bounce…
And on the Eighth day, God said, “let’s make a turtle look like a person, this shit is hilarious.”
Hemp can easily replace cotton. Cotton is imported mostly from Asia around the world, with China having the most dominant position. King Cotton from the US is now 11th as an import to other countries. If McTurtle makes hemp legal everywhere it should also be stipulated that huge factory farms have a minor roll in taking over another industry, just as a precaution to avoid knocking the family farmer out of the picture from making a decent living.

Sessions isn’t going to be happy

All you rope smokers are likely to come away disappointed. This balloon has been flown before as an alternative to tobacco farming, but as long as hemp looks like weed, the Sessions of the world will be a’gin it.
