DEA Wages Behind The Scenes War Against Hemp Legalization

Apparently the Drug Enforcement Administration’s (DEA) newest mission is to insure that members of Congress are aware about their idea of the facts regarding the legalization of hemp. The DEA is spreading propaganda throughout Congress in hopes of brainwashing members to vote in opposition of re-legalizing the cultivation of hemp in the United States.
Our friends at the Huffington Post has acquired a copy of the faux facts talking points regarding hemp that the DEA has taken upon themselves to circulate which raises the ostensibly absurd possibility of the government using its capitals to lobby itself.
Here are just a few of the outrageously asinine talking points that were circulated by the DEA:
The amendment (Polis) relates to marijuana (hemp) cultivation for industrial purposes. Marijuana (hemp) cultivation is already permitted under current law, provided the grower has obtained a DEA registration. This bill would eliminate the DEA registration requirement and completely decontrol marijuana grown forhemp1 DEA Wages Behind The Scenes War Against Hemp Legalizationindustrial purposes by defining “hemp” as marijuana that contains 0.3 percent or less THC, then declaring this “hemp” to be a non-controlled substance.
This would clearly impede law enforcement in several respects. First, it is impossible to distinguish a marijuana plant containing 0.3% or less of THC from a marijuana plant containing higher THC levels without scientific analysis. The bill would thereby make it essentially impossible for law enforcement to enter a grow site to determine the THC content of the “hemp” plants since there would be no way to establish probable cause to obtain a search warrant without first entering the premises to collect samples.
As a result, the bill would provide easy cover to hide more potent marijuana plants. Second, even if all the marijuana plants contained 0.3 percent or less THC, they would still provide an enormous quantity of psychoactive material because it is very easy and inexpensive to convert low-grade marijuana into high-grade hashish oil. YouTube videos already provide easy-to-follow instructions on how to make hashish oil.
Oy vey, bust out the full body propaganda bullshit protection suits and industrial strength brainwashing protection spray! Is this what the DEA was created to do, convince Congress that a plant dedicated for industrial and commercial uses is a dangerous drug that should remain illegal? We as a nation can’t allow this activity to continue. It is situations like this that prove how important becoming actively involved can be in order to hold these governmental asses accountable.
If you want the lies to end you must be the change. Stay tuned to The 420 Times for any updates regarding this political travesty and for all your marijuana community news.

    The UK and Canada have been growing industrial hemp for years, without incident, and the USA is one of the largest buyers of it.
    So what is the DEA's problem?
    Oh wait... money and power... just like every USA Dept.
