I highly doubt you'll see this story on your local news, and probably not even on cable news. These are the sort of acts advocates have to do, just to try and get the president or anyone in office, to talk about hemp. If anyone tries to start a dialog about it, it gets pushed aside. There is no drug value in hemp. It can contain trace amounts of THC, but you'd need a whole field of it to catch a buzz, and no one is going to smoke that much.

There is far too many great things you can do with hemp, and absolutely ZERO reasons why it needs to be illegal.

I feel this may have violated his constitutional rights in some manner.

I'm surprised he wasn't pepper sprayed for not opening the door (which he couldn't anyways). Cops will throw in a resisting into their heads and start bringing out their big boy toys.
