Illinois Farmers May Be Allowed to Grow Hemp - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Explosions;28395862]Hemp =/= cannabis[/QUOTE] I was reffering to [quote]Hammond is also worried some hemp would be stolen and misused as a hallucinogenic drug.[/quote] I know the difference between industrial hemp and cannabis thank you very much

[QUOTE=Psychokitten;28396583]I thought Macomb was within the so-called "Bible Belt". :v:[/QUOTE] Anything out of the northern part of the state, its getting pretty bible belt out there. Up north near chicago, milwaukee, rockford, etc is more liberal, and it happens to be more densely populated than other parts of the state.

[QUOTE=Explosions;28395862]Hemp =/= cannabis[/QUOTE] uh By definition, hemp is the fibers of the cannabis plant. It's just that hemp used for industrial purposes contains very low quantities of THC (1-2%) compared to cannabis grown for recreational or medical purposes, which contains anywhere from 10-25% THC.

[QUOTE=Valdor;28392933]There is nothing stopping farmers from growing marijuana in the middle of any of their crops. Making hemp legal won't increase the chances.[/QUOTE] Technically it will even reduce it. Since you need a pretty wide area free from any industrial help if you are even thinking of growing hallucinogenic marijuana. The pollen from industrial plantations can really gank it up. If indoor plantations are badly secured even they can get contaminated.

[QUOTE=Prismatex;28397465]How could it be a problem?[/QUOTE] Being sniffed out by Drug Dogs for wearing a shirt made from hemp, or having your car searched because you had hemp papers and the Police Dog picked up on it.

[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;28394527]Around here country used in that context refers to a rural area. [editline]2nd March 2011[/editline] Like "I live out in the country"[/QUOTE] Sorry. I guess I'm too much a Chicago city slicker.

[QUOTE=TrouserDemon;28391593]This is good. Industrial hemp has nothing to do with the drug, and treating it as legally the same thing was silly.[/QUOTE] Because they're not the same plant or anything.
