ANTI-HEMP IS ANTI-AMERICAN

I strongly disagree with the assertion, "there likely isn't 
widespread support for industrial hemp" (It's time to grow hemp 
support, Jan. 4 editorial). I have been purchasing hemp products from 
my local health food stores for years, using hemp imported mostly 
from Canada, a nice enough country, but I would rather those products 
use hemp grown by American farmers. Why are "free" American farmers 
prohibited from growing the God-given plant while communist Chinese 
farmers grow it? The effort prohibiting U.S. farmers from growing 
hemp is anti-American.
