Hemp has been in our history since the beginning of civilization. It has been grown for clothes, paper, and food for at least 12,000 years. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both had hemp plantations. Benjamin Franklin had a hemp mill that made hemp paper, and the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.
To think that Congress outlawed it in the 1950s. I mean, this is the "super crop."
You can do almost anything with it. 25,000 products can be made from hemp.
Plus:
A: It's tasty and highly nutritious.
B: Hemp, when eaten releases GLA (Gamma Linoleic Acid) a very rare nutrient.
C: And if someone was stupid enough to try and get high on it, they would have to smoke ten to twenty "joints" extremely quickly in order to get a "buzz".
Finally, hemp can be converted to biomass fuels like gasoline, methane, charcoal,
and Methanol. In fact Methanol makes such good automobile fuel that it's used for Grand Prix racecars! When coupled with a turbine or HEV, it could make a phenomenal system. I say we take action in the eyes of the fuel and climate crises, make hemp legal, and fix the damage done to our planet.
