If this bill becomes law, I can't see it surviving for long once it
reaches the
Supreme Court. Why the meatheads in Washington keep passing
laws that are obviously unconstitutional is beyond my
comprehension.

I am more concerned about reports our keepers have developed a
fungus that will attack and kill hemp plants worldwide. That would
violate the rights of countries where hemp is a legal crop. I also
wonder about the consequences of deliberately eliminating an
entire species of plant. If the keepers succeed, will they then
begin to develop agents to destroy our food crops in order to better
control the underlings?
