Did you know that in 1937 Popular Mechanics was set to release an article touting hemp as America's next major cash crop having more than 10,000 different uses from cellophane to dynamite?
I'm a firm believer that we could put most big oil companies and terrorist organizations like ISIS out of business in no more than a year with all the bio fuel that could be produced solely from growing hemp! And that isn't even including all the hemp hearts that could be used as food, or the stalks that could be used for producing hempcrete (one of the best building materials known to man).
Thanks so much for posting this, you've inspired me to write my first article on Hemp, the most likely plant to help push the people of the world toward world peace.

Thank you. The issue we have here in the State starts with three letters D.E.A. They oppose hemp legalization based on their arguments that legalization qoute on qoute “would increase the likelihood of covert production of high-THC marijuana, significantly complicate DEA’s surveillance and enforcement activities, and send the wrong message to the American public concerning the government’s position on drugs. It's one of the biggest funds they get from the American tax payers, so I think that's a money grabber they would not let go that easy. Thanks for your article.
