Hemp Flag Recalls Independence
To commemorate freedom and the 4th, hempen stars and stripes were flown above the U.S. Capitol, yet hemp remains illegal to farm because of federal law. It’s no terrorist hoax or a cannabis coup; it was actually Congress who gave the flag the go-ahead in a strange moment of cool. But seeing as hemp has not been grown in the U.S. since the ‘50s, the news might also sit a little strange for some, for good reason.
