Ya know, I started out this head trip investigating industrial hemp. I'd seen something in an issue of High Times probably back in.... `90 or so? Man, back then, I was still so innocent/shell-shocked I actually got very paranoid just purchasing a copy from the local convenience store. When I read about industrial hemp I thought what most mainstream and/or programmed people thought; 'Yeah, right!'
So, a couple of years later, I was trying to get involved in something meaningful, interesting, challenging and totally unrelated to the Program. Plus I was trying to break into website hosting with no money or other resources but a $600 2nd hand computer, which it took us some months to pay off. I picked industrial hemp as a topic. I figured this was the furthest thing from Program culture. Back then, I just assumed that most Program people were like my family, hooked on the kool aid for life. and I honestly was piqued. I wanted to know if it was for real or not.
Having done enough research to satisfy my own sense of reason, I concluded that industrial hemp is more legit than 99 99/100th% of what passes for environmental and socioeconomic science today. It also led to a broader interest in drug policy in general, which led me very quickly back to Drug Free America Foundation, the Semblers and, eventually, to the booming Troubled Parent Industry.
As de dawg chases his tail, here I sit makin argument with the tar baby.
I'm not entirely sure that the Fornits readership will buy hemp products. Untill a whole lot of farmers wake the fuck up and just start looking out for themselves, mom, apple pie and the American Way that they love to shake their fists and scream about and start growing the shit enmass, it's just too expensive and too marginalizing a product for general consumption. But I'm getting about sick and damned tired of those sanctamonious pussy boys anyway.
Where can I find a company that will partner w/ fornits the way zazzle or amazon does so I can give it a try?
