I can see it now. I try to go pass the prison ion scan wearing pants with hemp in the fabric. They'd let me in all right with a whole new wardrobe to go with the new digs. I think I'll pass on that.

Speaking of which, the Dr. Bronner's soap and many other "natural" soaps use hemp oil in their manufacture. My Air Force son was told to avoid those because they _will_ cause a positive drug reaction to many of the tests.

yikes. My youngest daughter had an allergic reaction to some waterbabies sunscreen early this summer, and we were told to use an all natural brand. Burts Bees, but it says right on the front that it has hemp extracts or oils or something in it. I should pay more attention...

As a collateral duty I used to run random drug testing in the Coast Guard at various units. In the early 80's there wasn't much awareness of false positives; a few careers were ruined.

Eco Responsibility? Jesus christ on a pogo stick I wanna buy one of these overpriced, pretentious pieces of crap just so I can set fire to it and release the extra carbons into the air so I can thumb my nose as these whack jobs that use guilt to sell crap.

when you get free shipping when you order that eco-friendly backpack to they deliver it to your house on an eco-friendly ups semi and delivery truck? folks, this is marketing... people preying on your passions in order to make them more money. it's like buying "carbon credits" to pay for that vacation so you'll feel good about it. it has nothing to do with ecology and conservation.

Then an Eco-friendly DEA agent hassles you for importing hemp?  LOL

BTW -- I hear that dis-elected Texas politician Asa Huchinson is also in the running for the AG spot.

The materials are monitored cradle-to-grave, unlike that canned air. I'm sure whomoever buys that won't recycle the can...

Oh I likes that canned air! Particularly the "MEMORY OF CLIMB MOUNTAIN" bit, hehe.

With that mary jane pack tho, say if you're lost and/or about to die, you could just smoke it and be happy. What other pack would take you to Jesus like that?
