I just downloaded a movie called "Hemp Revolution" from Usenet... I never seen this before so I don't know if it is good,but looks to be promising... It is a Documentary on Hemp made in 1995...

I put it on my small server for download... Please post here if you are going to download it as I do not have much bandwidth and would be wise to only have 2 people at a time download it... The file is 699MB

Thanks, I'm downloading now. I will also host this when I'm done.

EDIT with info on movie:
This documentary covers a whole lot of ground. It deals with every historical and contemporary aspect of hemp usage and cultivation (mainly in the U.S.), which turns out to be a lot. From describing the production of a fibre much more durable and economic than wood, the documentary discusses hemps multilateral uses as e.g. food products, as a non-polluting fuel and as a pharmaceutical product with much less griveous sideeffects than chemical pharmaceutical products. The film also investigates why America went from a country which produced vast quantities of the non-narcotic industrial hemp, to the complete ban on hemp production in 1938. This story in particular is interesting, and it points out that the large oilbased industries actually had a key role in the aforementioned ban. Food for thought! The conclusion of the documentary could be that hemp may prove to be a valid alternative to both oil and wood in the future.
