Congressman Eats Hemp On Live Television, Doesn’t Die! (VIDEO)

by Austin Petersen

“This is rope, not dope.”

Congressman Thomas Massie from Kentucky appeared on The Independents with the objectively beautiful anchor Kennedy to discuss the legalization of industrial farming of hemp in his home state. Massie complained that a farmer in his state is having to sue the federal government in order to have his seeds returned that the feds seized.

Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack today reported that he is attempting to work with the Department of Justice to allow the importation of hemp seeds for the purpose of cultivation. In addition to Massie’s home state of Kentucky, Colorado is waiting to hear from Vilsack about whether or not to proceed on acquiring seeds form Canada.

In the segment on Fox Business, Kennedy wondered if the DEA even understood that hemp is not even a psychoactive drug to which Massie responded by taking a big, fat bite of a hemp bar while simultaneously surviving the experience.
