Whistle blowers, Does hemp heal?

Whistleblowers and how we treat them in our culture.  We like that they try to protect us from some things, but not others.   When they need us do we protect them or rush to judge?

The hemp oil and natural remedy debate.  Rick Simpson was giving oil away to help others heal, and was targeted by the government and forced to flee his country.  Hemp has been a part of our culture for thousands of years, but only recently demonized.  Why and by who?

How do our actions contribute to the culture and dialogue surrounding these issues?
