| Message | We actually support the second. I mean who cares about industrial hemp? I don't even know what it is. Unfortunately, the first one is simply too destructive, so we must oppose. Break it up and we'll pass the second without much trouble. |

| Message | We'll probably support that, we don't mind cannabis all that much. No where near as bad as tobacco and alcohol. |
