NATION: "N.D. farmers appeal to grow hemp: Legal in Canada, plant can be used in manufacturing," by Donna Leinwand, USA Today, 7 November 2008.

North Dakota farmers want to grow hemp with THC levels so low you'd have to toke an entire acre to get a buzz, but the DEA says no way in a truly imbecilic decision that reflects the slippery slope thinking we've become attached to in this lengthy and rather useless drug war.

Gotta love America, where a drop of blood makes you a black man and a fraction of THC makes you an illegal crop. This is a nation of mutts, as Obama describes himself. We should get over such nonsense.
