I use it but unfortunately it isn't legal at all here in Michigan. I
have always been prohemp. It is safer than alcohol. The only reason it
isn't legal is that the government has no way to tax it. I am a
libritarian, so do get me started. I don't like the government telling
what I can and cannot put into my body when they say it is safe to add
hormones to cattle and use pesticides on everything. It's is all about
profit, and if they can't tax it, they can't profit.
