    Hemp Flag To Be Flown At Capitol On July 4

    A flag made out of a substance that's illegal to grow in the United States will fly above the nation's Capitol building on July 4, the Washington Post reported Tuesday.

    The Stars and Stripes will be stitched out of hemp fibers, which come from a plant that the federal government considers to be as harmful as heroin, LSD and ecstasy. As far as the Drug Enforcement Administration is concerned, marijuana plants all fall on the Schedule I list of controlled substances, regardless of their concentration of the psychoactive compound THC. Hemp strains contain very little THC, and while it is legal to import the processed fabric, there are stiff penalties in place for its cultivation.

    Congressional lawmakers sought to change that earlier this year, however, with legislation that would have legalized hemp for research purposes. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) was a key proponent of this measure, which was tripped up last month by the House's failure to pass the farm bill to which it was attached. He also reportedly played a key role in getting hemp up the Capitol's flag pole.

    According to the Post, Colorado hemp advocate Michael Bowman gave the flag -- made with Colorado-grown hemp -- to Polis, who worked out the details with the Capitol's flag office. Colorado has legalized hemp production, along with eight other states. While federal law still prohibits its cultivation, some enterprising and daring individuals have already started farming hemp.

    Bowman told the Post that the display was a "a powerful symbol,” steeped in American history. Many historians believe that the first American flag, sewn by Betsy Ross in 1776, was made of hemp.

    On Independence Day today, a flag made of hemp fiber is flying over the Capitol Building. A nice nod to tradition. The flag is from Colorado and was arranged by Representative Jared Polis.

    Not everyone was pleased.

    The Label on the Flag said Made in China
    Thats what I've been noting for years since I first saw a label on one of those party flags. Made in Chinese child sweatshops with Iraqi crude oil plastic no less. Ataboy Calvina, get the sheople to jerk and spasm that symbol for the Drug Tsar or fly them on the antenaes of their fossil fools gaspigs... The flag made of oil that profits the "enemy" our tax paid to drop bombs on. You actually advocate, in public, for this f r,w & b plastic or poison cotton. Wal-Mart sells an American flag that was made in China. It costs $9.96.
