Talk:United States/Projects/HempRevitalizationAct2009

This posting constitutes a public call to the people of the United States of America for authorship and passage of this legislation, which purpose is the revitalization of the hemp (cannabis) industry in America.

Returning to free-market production of hemp and cannabis in general in our country will invigorate the farming sector and expand our economy, creating new jobs in farming, transportation, manufacturing and research. The Act will provide increased opportunity for research into therapeutic modalities and treatments to help relieve pain and suffering. The general well-being of the people will increase.

Passage of HRA2009 will alleviate the financial drain on our resources, emotional toll on our citizens, and moral questionability that has occurred under cannabis prohibition. Non-violent offenders now incarcerated can return home and become productive members of our society. Cannabis cigarettes will be taxed and regulated, as they should be.

We are grateful for our Constitution which enables the people to ACT when our legislative representatives have stalled and evaded action on this important issue. Standingunited 10:44, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Section III allows the States to maintain cannabis prohibition. Standingunited 03:09, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
