State Rep. Matthew Shea (R-Spokane Valley) is the bill’s main sponsor. “This is a phenomenal bill, expanding freedom, allowing jobs to be created – a new market here in Washington state – the potential state economic impact is in the tens of millions if not hundreds of millions,” said Shea.
I'm growing hemp in my garden. Shit is a great crop rotation. Puts biomass deep down in your soil. I've got unpatented feral hempseed from the Midwest. Fuck that French and Canadian swill. I'd better get on a seed increase soon, before the law changes
Just to be clear. I love hemp products and DO recognize it's great agricultural and industrial uses. We used to raid feral hemp fields in Missouri in late fall for free scwag to toke on or for the rare one that had an actual buzz. Lol we called it K~pot , since it came off the side of hwyK. Lol
Now to make that change on a federal level. The question of how we'll prevent cross pollination is a good one. Makes me think of the issues between organic and GMO farmers.
