Oil will bring in more money for the government, hemp will not. If everyone in the world grew hemp, the oil business would be gone and the money coming into the government, would decrease big time.

US government makes oil sales from all over the world, bringing in billions of dollars each year. If those countries that Bush sells/buys to all grew hemp, the cost of oil would go down, and they would lose sevral countries business.

Yes, I agree, it would make more sense to mass produce hemp. Willy Nelson is one of the only men of earth that has a mini bus that runs on hemp oil.

The government who controls oil wants one thing, and they don't care who it hurts, or kills in the process. Just as long as those billions of dollars keep rolling in.

What ever happened to the electric car? Anyone else catch that on Jon Stewart show? There was a man who owned an electric car from GM motors, along with others, When he went to take his car in for service, the government seized ALL electric cars. Hmmm...I wonder why.
