... had he gone to DC, would have been the most loved person on the Hill. He had a congeniality about him, a kindness, that made everyone feel special. A rare bird he was. Think how happy he would be to know that two states has legalized the use of Mary Jane. Did KY vote to legalize the growth of hemp in the state? (I lost track of that.)

I would have preferred him over most of the people that have ended up representing KY in DC. He was an interesting guy.

The industrial hemp bill did pass but it doesn't really do anything unless the federal government legalizes it.

That's the stupidest law we have on the books. It's a plant, for Pete's sake! I love jute! I use it in my garden, but it is so hard to find.
