Should Cannabis Be Legal Pt 2

I will be adding more to this blog post in the near future. Here are some Images taken from OpenSecrets.Org on Marijuana Legalization. 

I AM tracking Money In Politics for Marijuana Legalization to determine if Politicians are being influenced by the Donors with their Financial Contributions.

The following images are for the National and State Political Scene. 

2022 USA Hemp Farming Predictions

The discouraging numbers follow a disturbing trend that started in 2019, when U.S. farmers planted about 500,000 acres but harvested only 120,000 as a worldwide crash in the CBD market took hold. 

Since that time, prices for CBD biomass have plunged from historical highs by as much as 90%, sparking a stampede out of the sector that has dragged down industrial hemp overall.

a 46% decrease from 2021 harvested acres based on the hemp crop report from the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service. The 2022 hemp fiber harvest is projected to range from 8,200 acres to 9,100 acres, down 30% from the 2021 harvest. https://t.co/76u9D0eQGz

FARMING, NEWS, NORTH AMERICA, USA

Flight from hemp continues in U.S., with harvest expected to fall by nearly half

PanXchange projects

•  the 2022 flower harvest at 6,400-6,800 acres, 
• expects the fiber harvest will range from just 8,200-9,100 acres, and 
• estimates grain will be brought in from as few as 4,800 to 5,000 acres this year.

That would mean roughly a 46% drop in harvested acres in 2022 based on comparative figures in the first-ever hemp crop report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) carried out for the 2021 harvest season.

Should Cannabis Be Legal pt 1

Part 1: The greater majority of Registered Voters in the United States and Missouri agree and support Cannabis Legislation according to this Civic Survey that has ran from April 24, 2017 to October 7, 2022.  There was 229,686 Responses to the Question: 

Should Cannabis Be Legal? 

• Registered Voters from every US State agreed upon Cannabis Legalization.

• Registered Voters from every Education Level agreed Cannabis should be Legal.

• Registered Voters from ALL Parties: Democrat, Republican, and Independent agreed that Cannabis should be Legal.

• Registered Voters from ALL ethnic groups agreed that Cannabis should be Legal.

• Registered Voters of ALL Age groups agreed Cannabis should be Legal. 

Here is the Map of the United States with the Civics Survey Results Should Cannabis Be Legal

I then singled out my home State of Missouri to see the responses to the survey Should Cannabis be Legal. 

 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn: Majority of Missouri Voters agree Cannabis should be LEGAL. 

Here is the Missourians view of Legalizing Cannabis! 

Here is the Breakdown of Missouri Registered Voters by Age who believe Cannabis should be Legalized.  

All Age Groups Surveyed in Missouri believe in Legalizing Cannabis

Missourians of Every Education Level and Gender Agree Cannabis Should Be Legal

Missourians of All Political Parties and All Ethnic Groups Agree Cannabis Should Be Legal

Since Cannabis Legalization is supported ALL across the United States of America with Registered Voters according to these Civic Polls. Why is Cannabis Legal in a few states and not in others? 

I will be performing additional research on this topic: Should Cannabis Be Legal in the United States and why have the Politicians not acted on the will of the People? 

 

In the next MOhemp Blog Post I will examine Money In Politics to determine:

• if outside groups, 
• lobbyists, 
• corporations, 
• medical industry, 
• law enforcement, 
• and anything else 

to see what and why Cannabis is not Legal ALL across the United States.  

Stay Tuned for Part 2 and the Answer to this and other questions on the Legality of Cannabis Legalization.

Didn't Biden Reverse Draconian Cannabis Crimes

for everyone who has been affected by the draconian "Cannabis" crimes of Law Enforcement and Politicians > blessing in disguise. Biden supposedly has reversed "pot" crimes.

Bureaucracy Hinders German Hemp Farmers too

 German Hemp Fields 1998 till now show only a 7% growth.  

Even After 25 Years of Hemp Production Bureaucracy STILL Hinders Germany HEMP Farmers

Meanwhile, bureaucratic challenges continue to hold back Germany’s hemp industry, key among them outdated narcotics laws that have led to confusion. 

Authorities have 

• raided hemp shops, 
• blocked the legal cross-border sale of imported flowers and 
• ordered some hemp foods off the market 

as the police and public prosecutors continue to interpret existing laws in a highly restrictive manner, sometimes failing to follow clear EU directives on hemp.

Hempcrete was finally approved for Residential Buildings!

The new code, set to be published formally in 2023, will feature Hemp-Lime (Hempcrete) under “Appendix BA.” Specifically, hempcrete was approved as a non-structural wall infill system similar to cob and straw bale construction, according to the report. The approval applies to one- and two-family dwellings and townhouses and should increase the availability of hemp-based building materials and facilitate greener construction projects around the U.S. source: Gangapreneur The Hemp Building Council had the following posted on their website: If we can get into building codes, we will lower hurdles to building with hemp products, make it more accessible to the market, and allow for large construction projects to see hemp building products as a viable option. Looks Like Scotty will be building that Hemp Home After All Jean Lotus writes: Hemp building materials were officially approved in the model US residential building code at a Louisville, KY public hearing overseen by the International Code Council (ICC) last week. Long before I started this Tumblr Blog [ https://stlhandyman.tumblr.com/post/696873573505253376/hempcrete-was-finally-approved-for-residential] I was using Word Press to share information about why I will building with hemp. https://scottscontracting.wordpress.com/2014/02/06/q-and-a-with-%ef%bb%bfhemp-building-expert-hemp-home-wall-details/ -Q-n-A with HEMP Building Expert: Mr. Greg Flavall Co-Founder and Technical Director at Hemp-Technologies Replied to My Question on Hemp Building: I’m designing a Hempcrete home and have been looking into a Catalan Style Spanish Roof for a roof system that does not require lumber. Do you think a hempcrete product would replace the concrete the Spanish masons use? I’ve started a series of articles on the planned build at: Q and A Greg Flavall Hemp Technologies Mr. Greg Flavall Co-Founder / Technical Director Hemp-Technologies Answered: “”having looked at your website and design I’m intrigued. Although we have not done this style of roof I do not see what lime could not do the same as cement in this application- if it were sealed correctly. Typically we are using Hemp/Lime for walls which is covered with 15-20mm of lime plaster for weather protection on a vertical plane. We install hemp/lime under the roof where it is protected as insulation and in the floor (above grade only) where it can breathe.”” If I can help future readers, listeners, watchers or anyone who would like to build with Hempcrete feel free to contact me here or send an email to scottscontracting@gmail.com and I will assist you or will direct you to someone who can.
