preaching to the choir....


A brief history of hemp and the USA is found in this article. So many of our environmental problems could be solved with the aid of increased hemp production for everything from diet protein and fatty acids, to clothing, to bio-degradable plastics, to fuel to medicine and of course entertainment. But as so many other things, it is not "profitable" in the short term as compared to deforestation and petroleum. So, what else is new.... dollars = sense. Great article tho.

Interesting nugget of thought as well (see galactic federation...):
"The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuality."
