Why do we make a special exception for Industrial Hemp?
Industrial Hemp is a cannabis species plant that contains only trace amounts of the narcotic drug "THC" that is in high concentrations in Industrial Hemp's cousin marijuana.
What I don't understand is that there are a lot of different plants that if distilled you could produce a narcotic drug. Why is Hemp the only plant that has trace amounts of a narcotic and is illegal.
There is a reason people to who eat bagels often falsely test positive for heroin. Poppy seed in bagels could be processed into heroin. Yet we don't consider poppy seed illegal.
I'm sure that some people's lawn grass probably contains illicit chemicals that could be distilled.
Why are we making a special exception for Industrial Hemp?
I'm really interested in answers from those who think Industrial Hemp should stay illegal.
If having trace amounts of THC is enough to make illegal, they why are half the plants in the forest legal to grow? Most of them have just as much narcotics too.
I am not answering my own question by saying industrial hemp has trace amounts of THC.
