If you're really talking about Hemp (NOT POT).\n\nNot yet, But.......\n\nState legislation, negotiations with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), federal lawsuits, Congressional legislation — action on industrial hemp is happening on all fronts. There's never been a more exciting time to be involved in the movement to help industrial hemp farming make a comeback as an engine of the U.S. economy.\n\nNorth Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Roger Johnson is prepared to be the first state official to issue regulations implementing a law that allows commercial industrial hemp farming. Johnson organized a meeting for himself and agriculture commissioners from West Virginia, Massachusetts and Wisconsin, last month with Joseph Rannazzisi, a top DEA official, and other agency representatives to discuss his plans. \n\nDEA officials told Johnson that growers, processors and importers of hemp seed would have to be separately licensed, and that the DEA would have to establish quotas for industrial hemp production and processing. \n\nIn the past, the DEA has refused to acknowledge the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana. The sole researcher who obtained a DEA permit to research industrial hemp (in Hawaii) was required to secure his crop with cyclone fencing and security guards as if it were marijuana. No one has ever obtained a DEA permit to grow industrial hemp commercially. \n\nRoger Johnson has gone further than any other state official in his work to make hemp farming a reality for North Dakota. He introduced and passed a pro-hemp resolution at NASDA, the association of state agriculture departments, and now is leading the effort to make North Dakota the first state to plant a commercial hemp crop. If Johnson is successful, he will have blazed a trail for all US farmers back to hemp farming.

I do not know of any such states off the top of my head.  I know NV can sell anything in a supermarket and WA wine and beer is available in the supermarkets.  It would seem odd to be able to purchase only wine and not beer.

The reason it was made illegal in the first place was because the oil from the seeds can be used to fuel an engine, and so the oil lobby, along with the media who were making profits from cutting down trees, found a way to make it illegal. The law was passed as a part of the tax law, which introduced the name marijuana, so that nobody would realise that they were restricting the use of hemp.

In California I'm pretty sure it's legal. I had one for years. You could always just call the police station and ask. \n.

Myth: United States law has always treated hemp and marijuana the same. \n\nReality: The history of federal drug laws clearly shows that at one time the U.S. government understood and accepted the distinction between hemp and marijuana. \n\n\nMyth: Smoking industrial hemp gets a person high.\n\nReality: The THC levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Hemp, it turns out, is not only not marijuana; it could be called "antimarijuana." \n\n\nMyth: Even though THC levels are low in hemp, the THC can be extracted and concentrated to produce a powerful drug.\n\nReality: Extracting THC from industrial hemp and further refining it to eliminate the preponderance of CBD would require such an expensive, hazardous, and time-consuming process that it is extremely unlikely anyone would ever attempt it, rather than simply obtaining high-THC marijuana instead.\n\n\nMyth: Hemp fields would be used to hide marijuana plants.\n\nReality: Hemp is grown quite differently from marijuana. Moreover, it is harvested at a different time than marijuana. Finally, cross-pollination between hemp plants and marijuana plants would significantly reduce the potency of the marijuana plant.\n\n\nMyth: Legalizing hemp while continuing the prohibition on marijuana would burden local police forces.\n\nReality: In countries where hemp is grown as an agricultural crop, the police have experienced no such burdens. \n\n\nMyth: Feral hemp must be eradicated because it can be sold as marijuana.\n\nReality: Feral hemp, or ditchweed, is a remnant of the hemp once grown on more than 400,000 acres by U.S. farmers. It contains extremely low levels of THC, as low as .05 percent. It has no drug value, but does offer important environmental benefits as a nesting habitat for birds. About 99 percent of the "marijuana" being eradicated by the federal government-at great public expense-is this harmless ditchweed. Might it be that the drug enforcement agencies want to convince us that ditchweed is hemp in order to protect their large eradication budgets? \n\n\nMyth: Those who want to legalize hemp are actually seeking a backdoor way to legalize marijuana.\n\nReality: It is true that many of the first hemp stores were started by industrial-hemp advocates who were also in favor of legalizing marijuana. However, as the hemp industry has matured, it has come to be dominated by those who see hemp as the agricultural and industrial crop that it is, and see hemp legalization as a different issue than marijuana legalization. In any case, should we oppose a very good idea simply because some of those who support it also support other ideas with which we disagree? \n\n\nMyth: Hemp oil is a source of THC.\n\nReality: Hemp oil is an increasingly popular product, used for an expanding variety of purposes. The washed hemp seed contains no THC at all. The tiny amounts of THC contained in industrial hemp are in the glands of the plant itself. Sometimes, in the manufacturing process, some THC- and CBD-containing resin sticks to the seed, resulting in traces of THC in the oil that is produced. The concentration of these cannabinoids in the oil is infinitesimal. No one can get high from using hemp oil. \n\n\nMyth: Legalizing hemp would send the wrong message to children.\n\nReality: It is the current refusal of the drug enforcement agencies to distinguish between an agricultural crop and a drug crop that is sending the wrong message to children. \n\n\nMyth: Hemp is not economically viable, and should therefore be outlawed. \n\nReality: The market for hemp products is growing rapidly. But even if it were not, when has a crop ever been outlawed simply because government agencies thought it would be unprofitable to grow?

The only thing I can imagine you're talking about is pot, and no you can't take that to another state. In fact, you can't really have it in the state you're in, because it is against federal law.

Yes, you can purchase stuff online in the states.  LSD and Shrooms are schedule 1 drugs, so if you find them online, don't order.  Ordering a schedule 1 drug = hardtime.  \nHowever chemicals like synthetic triptamines are available, although you are only supposed to be using them for scientific research.  There have been no studies as to the long term side-effects, and they are perceived to be dangerous.\nOne can find schedule 1 drugs online, the safest place to look would be in the underground, or internet blackmarket.\nCraigslist maybe.

China produces a lot of hemp as well (to the common man, hemp is marijuana....) the leaves and fibre are used to make clothes....

It really depends on where you live. About 7 years ago, you could see a Physician at the "Cannabis Club" in Arcata, CA for the walk-in fee of 250 bucks. You then gave a reason for your need for this perscription (cataracts, helps your appetite, helps you fight heroin addiction, etc.) and you were issued a card. This also allows you to purchase the medical-grade cannabis. :)

Pot is illegal because it was competition for the cotton grower. During the civil war it was outlawed mainly because of its fibers. Hemp (Marijuana) can grow faster then most plants and produce much more usable material than the cotton plant. Hemp can grow up to a 30 foot tap root, in search of water. Hemp seed contains more protein then the soy bean. It can be used for so much other than the drug effects. Sadly its outlawed for these reasons. As long as DuPont and DOW chemicals are around hemp will be outlawed. Also take into account all the Drug companies who provide campaign money to all the senators who have drug laws approved and denied. If pot was legal maybe someone would not be on Prozac or Paxil. Alcohol will always be legal. It makes to much revenue. From the people who manufacture alcohol to the distributers. Then the bar owners who mixes a bottle and makes a couple 100$ on it. To the state who pops people for DWI's. Then lawyers who get paid to get you off. Then the insurance comp. who rapes you every year to drive. So alcohol makes to much money and will never be illegal regardless of how many people are killed and families destroyed by alcoholism. I smoke pot when I want, and don't really care what the Feds say. So put me in jail. That's where the good pot is anyways.

There are at least 20 states where it is still legal (mostly in the South).  So in order to answer your question we'd need to know where you lived.

The contributions that the alcohol and tobacco lobby give to government representatives could tell you one thing.  If the Hemp industry was controlled by a single multi-billion dollar conglomerate, there'd be more of a chance of it being legal.

NO.\n\nIt is NOT legal.\n\nBut it still seems to thrive - not just in Japan, but all over the world!

The only place I've even heard of weed be legal to smoke is the Netherlands (Amsterdam), and it's not even legal to grow it there.  You have to buy it from a "coffee shop."\n\nSo, I'm going to assume that since I've never heard of weed being legal in Australia, that it is indeed illegal to use and of course grow.\n\nTrust me though... I wish it was perfectly legal everywhere (to use and grow).  Maybe someday...
