I remember when the hemp crowd swore we were on the edge of some green-tinted industrial revolution. They spoke about it in a clergyman's tone—like hemp was the plant Moses would’ve brought down the mountain if he’d been a little more eco-friendly. You couldn’t throw a rock at a wellness expo without hitting someone preaching the gospel of hemp textiles, hemp fuels, hemp … [Read more...] about THE HEMP DREAM THAT FELL FACE-FIRST INTO A GAS STATION

How China’s “Weed Game” Became America’s Dirty Secret
Somewhere in the backwoods of Maine, there’s a house that looks like it belongs to a quiet couple with a golden retriever and a Subaru. But step inside and you’ll find the real American dream — hydroponic lights, pesticide fumes thick enough to choke a horse, and workers who barely speak English, trimming away like ghosts in a chemical fog.
