Senator Mitch McConnell has been a huge advocate of hemp legalization.
So as you can imagine, with the chamber approving a farm bill provision that would allow for the legalization of hemp, the Kentucky Senator was quick to cheer all the progress that had been made. He even said that he’d be happy to let Trump use his hemp pen to sign the bill.
Can you imagine that? Donald Trump signs the farm bill with a hemp pen? That would make for one hell of a photo op. Certainly Mitch McConnell’s career will benefit from such a thing. And really, isn’t that what it’s all about? Rich white politicians furthering their careers by legalizing something because it benefits them directly?
