Great discussion!
Our current economic situation is just a nasty mess. A demand for infinite growth is being met with the apex of finite energy and our spending habits are way out of control. Net return and all that stuff. Federal reserve banking/derivatives and a serious dependency on fossil fuels have created this quagmire which hemp could alleviate immediately.
Those tinctures sound awesome. You mentioned that people were backing down serious health issues with them. I know you're aware of the amazing things Rick Simpson has done with his oil and I'm sure your tinctures could be having the same effect.
As well- With each passing year, a larger and larger number of young people achieve voting age. Cannabis has been immersed so deeply in to the lives of younger people through our modern cultural norms.
Wish I could hit Hempfest again! You gave me and my friends a couple tokes of Jilly in 2009
