Dr. Bronner among those arrested for planting hemp at DEA HQ
By: Russ Belville, NORML Outreach Coordinator October 13th, 2009

Bronner buys the hemp used in his soaps from Canadian farmers. He was arrested outside the DEA museum, which shares space with the headquarters.

“Our kids are going to come to this museum and say, ‘My God. Your generation was crazy. What the hell is wrong with you people?’” he said as Arlington County Police handcuffed him and walked him to a waiting car.

Best soap in the world.

"It gave the lather an additional smoothness," said Bronner, who put hemp oil in the recipe 10 years ago.

Farmers Arrested Trying to Plant Hemp at DEA Office

A 51-year-old grandfather who grows garbanzo beans and other crops in northwestern North Dakota was among the protesters arrested for planting hemp seeds on the lawn of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration offices.

Where To Go To Sow Protest? DEA Grass

The DEA referred questions about hemp and the protest to the Justice Department, and Justice referred a reporter to its brief in Hauge's case. The government says it is simply enforcing federal drug laws, which do not distinguish among types of the species cannabis sativa. Hauge and another plaintiff lost at the lower federal court level; a ruling on the appeal is pending.

It's the ONLY soap I've used for almost thirty years.

By the way, that was not Dr. Bonner they arrested. He's been dead for 13 years. It must have been his son who's been running the company in the same spirit as the old man.

The peppermint is the best!

ChiefBongWater · 12-11-2010, 08:47 PM

^ agreed! You use the liquid or the bar soap? lol

One cap full of the liquid peppermint in the shower serves as shampoo, shaving cream, and soap AND it leaves the skin, scalp, and sinuses tingling with a menthol coolness...like your skin is breathing.

Fucking.

Awesome.
