Senator Wyden favors hemp! [View all]

This is a fantastic speech by Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon in support of removing the definition of hemp as marijuana which it currently is defined as in the Controlled Substance Act. Wyden gives details on what this crop could do for our farmers and our economy right here in America instead of importing it as we do now.
