Probably dropped $6K of my liberal Florida earned income while there on hotels, entertainment, restaurants, and tourism.

An least you're candid enough to admit your own idiocy.

Stink - Just saw on the news that TN is giving license to farmers to grow Hemp. They said a farmer will make as much as $50,000/acre. I need to go buy a few acres - I'm in the wrong business.

Again, Hemp has nothing to do with the legalization of marijuana. The problem is Western Medicine has demonized everything that doesn't fit into their pharmaceutical "Medicine". The reason is because the big drug companies cannot patent it. Hemp has been on the Federal controlled substance list due to it being related to marijuana. However, CBD oil is legal in all States. The problem has been that HEMP (used to produce CBD Oil) has been on the Federal controlled substance list due to it being in the same family as marijuana. It CANNOT get you high if it does not contain enough THC.

CBD Oil is safe and does not have the dangerous side effects of the pharmaceutical opioid based pain relief prescriptions. You don't get high and you don't get addicted.

A personal story for anyone interested:
I am lucky enough to work on projects all over the world. I had my gall bladder removed.

I will fill in for our Black Bear friend BDR: Keep it short chief!

(oh yeah...hope your medical problems are a thing of the past my friend)
