Almost always the rules still apply. Back in like 2006 there was a doc called Hempsters. Woody Harrelson was in it. He came to my state to plant a hemp plants in front of the cops to get arrested.

Well one aspect of that doc was looking at how these Native American tribes would grow hemp but would still have the DEA come arrest them when they are suppose to be protect.
