Can I plant the edible hemp seeds sold at health food stores?
Nope, it's not legal to grow in in the American Colonies . In fact that is just what those county helicopters are searching for when they ride over the creek banks, ditches & Your Back Yard as it still grows wildly from earlier cultivation in North America. Either way its considered an illegal drug according to the US Govt. If it were not, we would all be growing our own, rather than importing it from Canada. Besides the Govt doesn't want us being self sufficient - we should be paying money for products, dependent upon them for their vast guidance ! LOL

I need your help. Is hemp illegal?
why is it illegal? huh, well, that's a great question, and the answer is racism and fear. Racism came into factor as it was a prejudice of the man who enacted the marijuana tax and he stated that it made blacks crazy and same with Mexicans. but with hemp, well, it is legal to import it into the states as the form that you buy (as clothes and what not) has no THC in it.

If hemp can't get you high why is it illegal in the U.S?
Because it costs more money to produce trees and process paper, fibre, bricks, oils, foods and literally over 10,000 other eco friendly alternatives to the modern resources we use today, meaning these companies using the alternatives that cost more money to produce are making more money from the products/uses that are being produced from them as opposed to using hemp and the only way you could make a source of building material illegal and unusable is by classifying it as a narcotic drug which it technically can come under because it comes from a psychoactive plant and to have the hemp you need to have the psychoactive plant. It is like a loophole that goes against all of us rather than can be used by us for our benefit, hemp products are perfectly legal but hemp production is not. Can't have the plant if the psychoactive chemical it produces is illegal so although hemp has what we would say, no THC/chemical that gets you high it has the potential to produce it, even male cannabis plants produce lower levels of cannabinoids, as if it couldn't be controlled by the government to only produce hemp and sell hemp to business's..

Is it legal to purchase HEMP Protein in the United States?
