Few things missing:
1. Very few if any are using the new state issued ID cards, let alone following the state rules of how a co-op clinic must operate. To many are still relying on doctor notes which many are questionable at best. Then all to many clinics are operating with not only marijuana in excess of valid patient numbers, not operating on a co-op basis, and making large profits.
2. Any argument that the cotton and textiles industries are against hemp are flawed at best and tin foil hat material in reality in this day and age. Not only could they switch over in a heart beat, produce a cheaper product, and already have large market share and distribution in place. Textile companies are already importing it and or having their products made where it is fully legal. As an odd side note, wide scale outdoor hemp production would lead to cross pollination with outdoor and some indoor marijuana growers. Lowering the quality of the strain of plants they are attempting to grow.
3. The DEA and law enforcement is the ones against hemp production. As they have put it, it would make their jobs more difficult as the plants look near identical. The DEA and many Government agencies make to much money and employ way to many people and programs for them to even think of slaughtering this cash cow.
4. The Federal Government is going against every scientific study as well as the vast will of the people to change the drug class of marijuana to one that has medical usage. This would not make it legal, just a controlled substance under the same rules as others like morphine, vicodin, and the like.
5. The Federal Government really does not have the proper jurisdiction in such matters unless they can prove interstate commerce, wire fraud, bank fraud, or mail fraud. It really is a states right issue.
