The US Department of Agriculture this week posted formal federal guidelines for how hemp — the versatile cannabis varietal used for clothing, plastics, fuel and food — can be grown, harvested, tested, processed, transported and sold.

Make it legal. My parrots love it, REALLY!
It needs to be legalized. Medicinal can help so many.
