As curator of the USA Hemp Museum I have given this a lot of thought over the past 40 years of activism. This is about law and freedom, nothing else. Individuals have freedom. In California we have inalienable rights to privacy, safety, happiness,liberty, life, and property. Where does the prohibition of a natural plant fit into that legal scheme? Hemp cannot be grown because of the marijuana scare. Hemp is a trillion dollar crop. Marijuana is one of the safest therapudically active substances know to man.

No one knows or cares that North Dakota has a state bank. The big banks seem to control the media so like hemp, you don't hear about North Dakota. Now that Ellen Brown has mentioned it, California will have a state bank.
We are the world's eight largest economy, how can we not. North Dakota gives 1% farm loans. California Legislature has already passed two hemp bills, that were vetoed. One percent farm loans and a state banking system and the hemp revolution would be underway. Read the Web of Debt, by Ellen Hodgson Brown and visit the USA Hemp Museum at www.hempmuseum.org

Ellen Brown has opened my eyes to the banking world. Ezra Pound said it: "Follow the money." When Ms Brown finished with me I was no longer worried about how we were going to recover from so many bursted bubbles. She pointed to me the way the hemp revolution in California could be financed, open the Bank of the California Republic, and use fractional banking. When you know the system the solution as Ellen puts it above seems necessary and constitutional.
