 Hemp Crop In what has been deemed a Tribal sovereignty case. You see the White Plume family has been planting industrial grade hemp (tho illegal to grow in the US, Industrial Hemp contains virtually none of the THC, not enough Cannabinols to give a buzz to any size human)
After the Government made it's case, Judge Arlin "Jim" Beam commented, "It seems asinine to me that they can bring in the Canadian stuff and use it but can't grow it."

It was the eighth most heavily covered story on network TV news. However, this celebrity faux news did not make the top ten stories covered in American newspapers.
