| I have a shirt, a pair of jeans and a wallet. All are tough, pretty and indestructable (had our dog not chewed the wallet as a puppy). Clothing does tend to shrink if washed at high temperatures. But tha's not a problem really. And the shirt is so soft. It's dyed a pretty auburn |

| Roxanne again: No, the old movie "Reefer Madness" was part of the government's campaign to demonize marijuana. The documentary I was talking about is modern, and goes into the Henry Ford connection etc. Very interesting. |

Annab: You are correct about the different varieties of cannabis. Criminalizing one variety has effectively criminalized all of them, which is really a shame. Here's a website that our farmgirl sisters might find enlightening: http://www.industrialhemp.net

| Mara, I hope I didn't sound mean,I am just very passionate about hemp. I just have to wonder if we would have followed Henry Ford's path if this country wouldn't be in better shape, we are so dependent on foreign oil. Roxanna |

I don't think that people will be moving to CO because of this law. It will be nationwide before long anyway. Medical pot has been legal in NM for years and hasn't changed anything in any way here. Don't worry CO. Although if CO watches their Ps and Qs they may be able to get some tax revenues out of the deal.

The problem with pot, there is no way to determine when when someone smoked a joint last. It has to do with dwi, oui, dui, etc. It takes a minimum of 30 days for a joint to get out of one's system completely. Also, do you really want a contact high by.breathing in the second hand smoke? Do you want your children breathing this in? I don't.

I say kudos to Colorado, I guess, but if canabis goes legal the evil Monsanto will probably screw it up. Hemp plants are not the same as the stuff folks smoke to relax, but have great potential for vitalizing farm economies and providing petroleum product alternative, paper, cloth, food and much more. Colorado's initiative will help to de-villianize a farm crop that is good for our planet and economy. You don't have to smoke the high THC product to benefit from this de-villianization.

CJ - TOO funny! I needed that giggle - thank you! ;)
On a more serious note, however: I just read this headline this morning, "Amsterdam to Ban Smoking Pot in School." All I could think was, "Good Lord!" It's only a small article, but... http://xfinity.comcast.net/articles/news-general/20121212/EU.Netherlands.Marijuana/ This is the kind of thing that would seriously concern me. I just pray that this isn't something that happens in our schools... or anywhere else, really. I think it's easy to forget that this is not just an issue of medical or "responsible" recreational use; as with alcohol or with any other substance affecting the body and mind, this is also an issue of abuse and effect, you know? The deeper implications of its legalization are a serious concern to me. The last thing we need to do is dumb down and desensitize America any further... Like we don't already have enough problems! It's also very easy to become a slave to something that seems to set one free... We see it all the time. And we're not talking coffee and cigarettes here, you know? Just sayin'. I just pray that the laws and regulations will result in serious accountability, and that people who use it will do so responsibly. I can't help but ponder the implications here, though. Marijuana used to be considered a gateway drug... Where are we going with this? And to what end?
