Standing outside of a Sacramento medical cannabis dispensary, you might detect something in the air. No, it's not secondhand THC vapor — public medicating is prohibited in the county. What you sense is a shift in perspective. Public pressure is building for the legalization and regulation of one of the oldest cash crops in America: the plants of genus Cannabis.

Valid medicinal value, it’s a victimless crime, the War on Drugs WAY too costly, too many arrests for simple possession, tax it and use the money to pay for health insurance and to reduce the deficit…Need I say more? Woodstock Universe supports legalization of Marijuana. Add vote in our poll about legalization at http://www.woodstockuniverse.com. Current poll results…96% for legalization, 4% against. Listen to RADIO WOODSTOCK 69 which features only music from the original Woodstock era (1967-1971) and RADIO WOODSTOCK with music from the original Woodstock era to today’s artists who reflect the spirit of Woodstock.

I wish we could get away from this idea that hemp is only about pot as a drug. The uses of industrial hemp could literally save the economy and our planet.
