Industrial Hemp Industrial Hemp Government often prepares the way for oppressive legislation by exaggerating a current danger, or by rhetorically turning harmless people and things into bogeymen. Certainly this has been the case with industrial hemp. Although it includes a technical exemption for hemp, The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 generally treats hemp like marijuana, its psychotropic cousin. Smoking industrial hemp to "get high" yields about the same result as smoking the evening newspaper; and Rating: 5

Hemp has thousands of industial uses, textiles, fabric, fuel, food. Fuel is a big one, hemp oil could be used in any pre-existing diesel burning engine...it emits less aromatic hydrocarbons and no sulfurs.
Hempseed is also one of the most nutritional food sources on earth.
An acre of hemp will produce as much paper as four acres of trees, the process for making paper from hemp is much more environmentally friendly than paper from trees.
Hemp does not dry out the soil like cotton does, cloth from hemp is more durable than that of cotton.
