So, how’s that PROHIBITION working out for you? Not too good.
Here in Eureka, California we have had many housefires caused by faulty electrical lighting systems at indoor grows. The lights used to grow the hemp are often installed by people that have no idea about safety AND THEY ARE OFTEN STONED.
Public safety is endangered by the idiot LAWS that make grass farming profitable. We could have regulation of the industry with OSHA safety inspections.
