There are uses and there is a market. None of this is debateable. It' s fact. Therefore, it is absurd to deny South Dakota farmers the opportunity to explore the market for hemp. There is no sense in a debate over whether cannabis provides relief from a wide range of medical conditions.
Cannabis can be therapeutic.
To argue otherwise is absurd. To deny patients the relief they get from cannabis, and from no other therapy, is worse than absurd, it's torture. Cannabis has never caused a death because of its ingestion. It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance in light of the evidence in this record. And, like all gifts from God, it can be abused.
