There seems to be increasing alarm from the environmental crowd that earplugs are becoming a necessity.The part that confuses me the most is why they are not more readily supporting actor Woody Harrelson's efforts to distinguish between industrial hemp and marijuana? Recently, he was arrested for ceremoniously planting four industrial hemp seeds in Kentucky as an act of civil disobedience.

totally in favor
I am a high school student. I don't smoke or drink, but I am doing a report or a speech in fact about legalizing hemp. I was wondering if you could contact me by e-mail and voice your opposition against this issue. If you didn't care, I was wondering if I could use you as a source, but Idon't have too if you feel this will cause any dismay to your cause. Thanks for your time in reading this!
