    Bullshit. "As an American citizen" - buddy we are not known for our intelligence or our honor so I don't know what relevance you think that has. And yes there is such a thing as ba…

    This is a hilariously wrong sentence in multiple ways. Hemp :is: a strain of cannabis. You may have meant to say 'THC producing plants' which would still be technically wrong. Whil…
