Industrial hemp and CBD are taking off right now

Just saw the 60 Minutes segment with the AOL founder and revitalization ideas for middle-America.

Here's one...build hemp processing factories.

Everyone is growing but it's the processing that will bring in good local jobs, tax revenue for revitalization, and health to middle America. Industry NOT outsourced.

This is a plant that can save this planet.

No recreational/medicinal grower wants to be anywhere close (even miles) away from a hemp field for fear of cross-pollination.
Hemp pollen can ruin a grow.
