That magic trick you seek may come from the results of Washington and Colorado initiatives. Legal cannabis is a largely untapped industry with a lot of potential for new jobs. The obvious, recreational aspect will definitely put a few people to work but we are finally making headway into being able to explore non-recreational uses for hemp. We need a new industry to get people back to work and hemp fits the bill.

I would not bother trying to make sense of that. Recently I saw a similar, almost verbatim with the same stilted grammar (coincidence?), argument about Obama stopping coal mining and China coming to take all our coal. The only thing missing is the part about how not speaking Mandarin will make it impossiblet to get a job in a few years. Personally, I would rather debate politics with Glenn.
