I dispute this statement.

"The only hemp products that are allowed in this country are ones that are manufactured outside of it."

Although it is currently illegal to "grow" hemp, in the US, Many companies are manufacturing hemp products here. Examples are, but not limited to, Dr Bronners Soaps and SunDog Lotions. There's even a company in ND that produces door panels for Chrysler Corp.
So, The manufacturing of hemp products is being done here. It's just not grown or processed here.

The Drug laws are very punitive in this country and others. While I oppose these harch laws. I advise anyone who is thinking of using marijuana not to. Sitting in jail over something stupid is not worth it.
