New Mexico State Senator Cisco McSorley Wants New Mexico to Grow Hemp

NEW MEXICO STATE SENATOR CISCO MCSORLEY IS PROPOSING LEGISLATION THAT WOULD LET NEW MEXICANS GROW HEMP FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. HE SAYS MUCH OF THE FABRICS IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE AND IN CLOTHES ARE MADE OF HEMP, BUT THE CROP IS MOSTLY STILL GROWN OVERSEAS.

MCSORLEY SAYS NEW MEXICO WOULD PROVIDE IDEAL GROWING CONDITIONS AS THE PLANT WOULDN’T NEED IRRIGATION, SURVIVING ON RAINFALL.

MCSORLEY SAYS HEMP HAS BEEN RESTRICTED DUE IT’S RELATIONSHIP WITH MARIJUANA DESPITE THE FACT THAT HEMP DOESN’T HAVE THE HALLUCINOGENIC PROPERTIES CANNABIS DOES.
