Difference between Hemp and Marijuana
Hemp is an amazing plant that has been cultivated for thousands of years. It is incredibly versatile and valuable, but it is also incredibly controversial as well. When most people think about hemp, a picture of marijuana pops into their head because these two plants are often confused as the same product. Hemp products, such as clothing or purses, is not made of a material that is illegal to own, nor is it made of anything that can get you high. That is only marijuana.
THC [Tetrahydrocannabinol]
The smoking of female marijuana buds (or flowers) will cause the smoker to become high, but the same procedure with hemp won't have that effect. There is less than a single percent of THC within hemp, while the female of the marijuana plant has 10-20% of THC. The THC is what gives the person smoking the marijuana the high. Male plants are solely used for marijuana seed production. The hemp plant and the marijuana plant look different and both plants are harvested in different ways. A marijuana plant is usually short with a bushy appearance. The females of the species grow buds and flowers that have orange or white hairs, known as pistils, and they develop THC crystals. Hemp plants, on the other hand, are quite tall (up to 25'), have small flowers, and get covered in a pollen that holds the seeds. Marijuana has many fewer uses than hemp, which can be used to manufacture over 25,000 products. You can find hemp bird food, diapers, insulation, perfume, conditioner, paper and carpeting. Rope is also a common use for hemp, and it does not rot, making it more useful than traditional rope. Hemp can also be used as a highly digestible food, allowing you to have a happier and healthier life.
Confusion
Many people confuse hemp and marijuana. People who are focused on legalizing hemp often refer to the uses and lack of pesticide requirements when trying to prove their side of the debate. People who are focused on the opposing side, however, usually refer to their worry that marijuana would soon be legalized as well due to the same plant being the basis for both. There are also opponents who say other materials can be more cheaply made than hemp, but that argument is easily disproved. The cultivation of hemp is still illegal within the United States, but hemp is still being imported in many different forms, including food. Marijuana cultivation is supposed to be illegal due to the health effects, but this argument is quickly fading as well with all of the proven health benefits that many studies have found. Most debates concerning the legalization of marijuana end up being the same arguments that are used for hemp legalization, but we have to keep in mind that these products are simply not the same.
About the similarity of hemp and cannabis
The biggest thing they have in common (and the biggest reason for the confusion) is the fact that both plants are different varieties of the same plant: the Cannabis Sativa. Hemp is grown legally in 29 different countries world-wide, with China, Russia and Korea leading the production. In the United States, however, it is not legal to grow marijuana or hemp. You can own products made of hemp that's why you find hemp-based products on store's shelves. The aroma of both plants is quite similar when blooming, but marijuana is the only plant with enough THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) to make a person high. The traces contained within the hemp plant are not enough to cause a traditional "high".

In other words, you have no reasonable answer for my question, which is commonplace for you. Washington state, as well as many other states, have no state laws prohibiting the possession of firearms while under the influence of alcohol or marijuana. (Yes, there are Federal prohibitions). Show us where there has been a danger to the public that has manifested itself in reality from the lack of such laws in these states. The only manifestation of a danger to the public is in your imagination, which is why you have to resort to childish insults in your posts in reply - because you got nothing else to reply with.

It has nothing to do with "What I don't like". "Call me out" on what? Consuming a mind altering drug, then playing with guns infringes on my, and everyone else's SAFETY. It's got as much to do with "rights" as yelling fire in a crowded theatre, or driving drunk. It's just even more stupid and idiotic.

Unconstitutional Official Acts
16 Am Jur 2d, Sec 177 late 2d, Sec 256:
The general misconception is that any statute passed by legislators bearing the appearance of law constitutes the law of the land. The U.S. Constitution is the supreme law of the land, and any statute, to be valid, must be In agreement. It is impossible for both the Constitution and a law violating it to be valid; one must prevail. This is succinctly stated as follows:
The General rule is that an unconstitutional statute, though having the form and name of law is in reality no law, but is wholly void, and ineffective for any purpose; since unconstitutionality dates from the time of it's enactment and not merely from the date of the decision so branding it. An unconstitutional law, in legal contemplation, is as inoperative as if it had never been passed. Such a statute leaves the question that it purports to settle just as it would be had the statute not been enacted.
Since an unconstitutional law is void, the general principles follow that it imposes no duties, confers no rights, creates no office, bestows no power or authority on anyone, affords no protection, and justifies no acts performed under it.....
A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the lend, it is superseded thereby.
No one Is bound to obey an unconstitutional law and no courts are bound to enforce it.
Jon Roland:
Strictly speaking, an unconstitutional statute is not a "law", and should not be called a "law", even if it is sustained by a court, for a finding that a statute or other official act is constitutional does not make it so, or confer any authority to anyone to enforce it.
All citizens and legal residents of the United States, by their presence on the territory of the United States, are subject to the militia duty, the duty of the social compact that creates the society, which requires that each, alone and in concert with others, not only obey the Constitution and constitutional official acts, but help enforce them, if necessary, at the risk of one's life.
Any unconstitutional act of an official will at least be a violation of the oath of that official to execute the duties of his office, and therefore grounds for his removal from office. No official immunity or privileges of rank or position survive the commission of unlawful acts. If it violates the rights of individuals, it is also likely to be a crime, and the militia duty obligates anyone aware of such a violation to investigate it, gather evidence for a prosecution, make an arrest, and if necessary, seek an indictment from a grand jury, and if one is obtained, prosecute the offender in a court of law.

Out of surgery, in the recovery room. You do not know where you are, who you are married to, what day it is, or what planet you are on. If you ask the nurse for you EDC gun, is it a violation of your rights, not to give it to you? Only an imbecile, thinks the 2nd Amendment applies 24/7/365, period, no common sense need be applied.

One has to use the knob on the top of ones shoulders, to figure out when and why carry is a good thing, and when it is best to leave it locked up in your safe.

Some people on here, act like decision making skills are never needed, all one has to do is read your rights, and bully forward. Rights, sure, but prudence in equal measure with rights.

I smoked that crap during my entire youth and through college. It was the 70's. Never saw or heard of such a thing.

You didn't have concealed carry in the 70's. Today it's everywhere. Mix it with open dope smoking and you've got a disaster waiting to happen. You just had an idiot woman in Idaho let her toddler grab her pistol and kill her with it. Do you think that situation would have improved itself if she just finished smoking a joint 10 minutes earlier? People are stupid enough in this country as it is. They don't need yet another intoxicant to make them even dumber.
So you are attempting to use a situation in which (as far as we know) marijuana was not even involved in order to support your opinion against marijuana and allowing possession of a firearm?!? Let's see, if you can't come up with any real and related evidence to support your opinion, let's just toss in a completely unrelated scenario.

The incident I cited shows how stupid people are without dope. Please explain how mass society will be better off by being made even dumber by giving them more intoxicants? Most are too stupid and weak to manage prescription drugs in their best interest. And you think they'll be able to manage illegal drugs made legal in my best interest? Idiots are idiots, pure and simple. They don't need the means to become even bigger idiots.
Then let's ban alcohol.

Why? Utilizing your thinking and direction, we should be passing it out to kids on the street corner. Why deprive them of their "freedom"?

I think smoking weed is a misdemeanor in this state (AR) given certain conditions. I believe (don't quote me) that other charges like DUI and carrying might incur more harsh penalty than a misdemeanor. I'll have to check-it-out. It's been years since I heard anything about this in AR, so I'll get back and correct if I'm wrong.
I seem to recall that 4473s specifically have a do you use drugs or use marijuana yes/no question on it.
My thoughts on the matter are I'd prefer someone not be mellowed-out and carrying. YMMV. I'm neither condemning or approving it.
