10. I've been one of those talking to everyone but I concentrate on the uses of hemp
And I take the time to listen to concerns, which just happen to be all the myths that abound. That it leads to more drugs, that kids will get it, yada yada. If you tell them that it would be harder for them to get it if it were legal than it is now that it's illegal because it would be basically under the same laws liquor regulation is, they begin to get it.

But the uses of hemp are the clincher. There is no down side to the uses of hemp. It puts nutrients in the ground while it grows, leaving great soil for other plants so it doesn't require pesticides and it can be grown constantly without having to leave the ground fallow. It doesn't require pesticides because bugs don't eat it and cuts down on weeds which means it doesn't require toxic weed killers. It can be used to make clothing without all the toxins needed to grow cotton and it yields far more than cotton does per acre. It has essential amino acids for nutrition and the list goes on and on. It's a winner argument.

These are just some of its uses
