Those protesters remind me of a family that used to live in my neighborhood. They are strict Pentecostals. That means, no TV, females do not cut their hair or wear pants. This family thought sports were bad too.
Much like JWs, their whole family life revolved around going to church and church activities. They had a girl close to my daughter's age and sometimes she would come over to play. She would tell me stories of her Mom reviving dead animals by praying over them. What would amuse me when she would come over to play is that she would be GLUED to our TV. It didn't matter what was on. Could be Sesame Street or a Gardening show. It didn't matter. However, my daughter found it frustrating because she would want to go outside and play or do other activities and would have to DRAG this girl away from the TV set.
As far as Hemp? I think it should be legalized. Legalization generally means REGULATION. So, growers would then be subject to the same laws that growers of other crops are subject to. That would mean having to deal with the US Department of Agriculture. Talk about killing the romance!
