We can purchase and use Hemp products and materials here in the USA. But they will not allow farmers to grow and harvest it. Therefore putting companies using the abundantly wholesome and useful crop in a position to have to give their money to other countries....much of these companies are striving to keep the jobs and revenue here in the USA. It also eliminates the crop as an alternative for us to other crops that may be depleting farm lands, increasing in price, or be more difficult to grow and harvest having less uses. RIDICULOUS...but hey thats our government right?:)
