First Metro bus #10 at 8:15 Right Next to the Kids School! Too cold to be nervous. I'll type more when fingers thaw out. What luck 1st bus early.

I'm headed to train station, for next leg of the Hemp trip to the Capital!
Made it too the StLouis Amtrak station with time to spare. The tickets cost me- $42 round trip, not a bad price. Sure beats driving and fighting traffic...
... the icing on the cake is its a eco friendly trip!
I also choose to wear my StLouis Rams coat to lend support for keeping a NFL team in town.
After a late start the meeting finally got started and I feel the meeting went extremely well. The Legislators impressed me in the questions and concerns they had about Industrial Hemp. And in the end I feel they will gain a better understanding of the multiple uses and the game changing job creator that Industrial Hemp can bring to Missourians. I also feel that after I explained the Hempcrete has the Energy Saving aspects like Insulation, while being as tough as Concrete, the Missouri Legislative Department HB830 has a better understanding of the Greatness of the Hemp Plant!

Here are the notes I took to the meeting. There was a bunch of people, to make sure everyone had a chance to make a case for the Industrial Hemp plant I skipped a bunch of the more technical / numbers in favor of promoting the variety of uses for the plant.
I made sure to point out that Hempcrete is Carbon Negative which will help reduce the CO2 emissions that are causing Global Warming.
I left 10 copies of the speech with the Show Me Cannabis and they were planning on passing the notes onto the Department Heads.

I'll post additional information as well as the photos I took of the Great Architecture of the Missouri Capital. It amazes me every time I see it! 2/2515.
