I know a couple who runs a medicinal herb farm.

They throw handfuls of seeds out in the spring, and have a beautiful polyculture and harvest each fall.

This would shut down these small herb farms, which there are quite a few of, in the US.

Are the medicinal herb farms going to have to start growing potatoes in Europe?

No problem... They take away freedom after freedom after freedom. It will only stop when we have nothing left or the citizens of whatever state/country stand up and say enough is enough!

I have yet to see anything about this law that would effect people who merely grow and supply herbs. This is for manufacturers who package and sell prepared herbal suppliments.

As a long-time organic gardener/farmer, let me say that the Codex is benign and so is this bill.

Go ahead, actually READ it, not the interpretations, but the actual laws, and see they don't have any effect on people growing and preparing their own herbs.

Yeah,let's hear it for "More Government"!

As someone who thinks that Government is a tool of the People, and one that WE can sue to regulate BIg Business, yes, three cheers for Government! Those who decry 'government' are only promoting a Corporate World.

No doubt, Big Pharmaceutical Companies were lobbying double time to get these ones passed. Of course the law is going to be dormant, they are waiting for that Special Day to remind us of all the back door bills they had passed that we didn't know about because our governments had requested The Mainstream Media's silence by diverting our attention to various Lindsay Lohans and Paris Hiltons.

Marshall Law WILL happen. People are going to get drugged if they are identified as emotionally unstable. This is how it starts. A few select "homegrown terrorists" are going to be set up, and made examples of so that TPTB can point to the rest of us, saying, "This is Extremism, these conspiracies theorists cannot control their overwhelming Paranoia and irrational feelings of being targeted by supposed secret government agencies"

We are going to get picked out of the crowd. They are going to persecuted the ones who saw it all coming. The Sheeple are going to sell out like the pigs they are, and take the blue pills all day long. For those who refuse the vaccines and medicines created purely for the purpose of doping us up to a level of absent-minded numbness, those of us who will refuse, will be made examples of.

Get ready, get lost before they chip you, and there is nowhere to run. Big Pharm is The New World Order.
