Welcome to Ashland Talks!

He was running the Ashland FB site. But it was a deeply divided forum.  And it seemed that it if you didn't post in a prescribed way you got booted.  It was very liberal.

There are several Ashland FB sites. Ashland Peeps is good. My Guess is this may be the Houks. Actually there are lots of places to discuss life in Ashland.

I wonder if every other post is about the greatness of Marijuana. How it can heal or cure ANYTHING and how you can used it to make or build anything. Razz
Or if there are as many conspiracy theorists as other FB groups.

I asked the owner of this site if he has checked on it lately. He said, "is that site still active?" OK, he really just said no.   Big Grin

Well it does make good paper and rope.. and cloth.
I think diesel engines were originally intended to run on hemp oil.

And it also prevents and cures cancer. Big Grin

I know things can be made with hemp. But I get sick of people acting like it is so much better than the paper, cloth or rope we have.
If it was there are other countries all over the world who could have and would have produced these hemp products.

It does indeed have promising properties to fight cancer.
To say it cures or prevents cancer is at best misleading.

Ive read some pretty convincing articles that shoot down the myth that legalizing Hemp will be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

There is. Whichever one Rowan was running seemed lefty to me. And it seemed to be moderated. If it didn't match what the tone was that he was selling you didn't get to stay.

True. He's now known as XerRowan, just to set the record straight.
