    Well, 1st of all, this story got more baloney than Oscar Mayer, and 2nd, if you read the article, Idaho doesn't consider a difference between hemp and pot and you can't tell me these guys didn't know that. And knowing it's illegal, what kind of clown would hook on to a load like that?

    And there was probably "regular" pot mixed in with the hemp. I wonder what tipped them off?

    Maybe you need to stay south and run over to I-5 and then run north? or the other way around...

    He probably thought that since the Federal Government has made the growing and distribution of Hemp legal they would be ok hauling it. There have been 3 drivers arrested and their loads and trucks seized, all for hauling something those cops knew wouldn't get a person high.

    so if you drive through idaho with a hemp product, like a hemp rope or whatever, you could go to prison and have a car confiscated? WHat a truly backwards legislation they got there!
