Hemp is seriously the answer to so many of our nations problems it's not even funny.
Some people quote the Bible where it says something about Gog giving the seed bearing plant, and they say it pertains to marijuana for smoking but I think it would be more acurate to say it was hemp that God wanted mankind to have. It is such a usefull plant, we could go a long way toward healing the damage we've done to our planet if utilized hemp to it's full potential.
I'm not some nut who thinks all of mankind's ills will be solved this way but from the info I've seen there is virtualy no downside to the use of hemp, and I include the use of cannabis to get high in that statement. When I learned that tree pulp used to make paper is only 30% usefull and that hemp fibre is 70% usefull for the same application I was floored. The government and their corporate benefactors are doing so much harm by repressing this plant.
Sorry for the total rant but I just felt I had to make my point known.
Thanks for the thread Kate.
