Hemp or Marijuana?

Last night, I watched this program on KQED in celebration of Independence Day...
but this post is exactly what I have to say, and probably more...

How is a plant illegal?!? I certainly hope that basil and oregano are never outlawed, or patented- like several companies wish they could do with Neem, a plant that has been used for generations in India.

That's my rant for today...
