FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS I HAVE BEEN ADVOCATING FOR HEMP: TEXAS REMAINS A PLACE WHERE HEMP IS NOT WANTED

All over the world countries have realized that planting large areas of trees in arid areas can lead to more rain.  We should not be cutting down trees unless absolutely necessary, but we do.

Had the LRGV listened to me over 20 years ago when I came to Brownsville and spoke to a group about hemp, the LRGV by now would be a major growing area of hemp, and manufacturing.  But has is always the case, the political class which keeps the LRGV depressed, could not see a profit for themselves so they opposed it.
