No need to criminalize hemp shampoo, lotion
I’ve never smoked pot. I never inhaled. That doesn’t make me morally superior, but the fact remains that I’ve never tried it and don’t want to. However, I strongly support the increased production and use of industrial hemp for a variety of purposes.

That’s right friends, while shoplifters lurk, crooks creep and purse-pinchers prowl, Indiana cops are tossing time and manpower after an effort to poison wild-growing hemp plants — which, if you’re up on your botany, you know don’t have enough THC (marijuana’s active ingredient) to get you any higher than eyelevel to an earthworm.
