From what I hear, Willy Nelson has one of the only buses on the planet that run on hemp oil.

Using hemp as a natural resource would be the way to go, but oil is back gold and there is no way in hell Mr. Bush or whoever, is going to give that all up. For one, anyone can grow hemp, and it's very easy to grow. Hell, it grows all over America naturally with help from nothing or no one. Seeing as that anyone can grow it, where would the money be made? Oil would be obsolete, and everyone would be growing hemp. The profits from oil would dissapear, and in the US and Canada, that is a multi billion a year company. You think politicians and government is going to give that up?! No fucking way!

I personally would like to see hemp as a natural resource in our world, but it will never happen. All cars and vehicles would have to changed completly to work with a new fuel. As a mtter of fact, everything that uses oil as a natural resource would have to change to use hemp oils. That kind of transformation could cost companies billions, easily.

They want it illegal because they know they will lose billions of dollars, and they will. Money seems to be the #1 resource in major, stable countries. If they would maybe think of the future instead of now, things may change, but hey, what do they care, they'll be dead by the time the world goes to shit anyways.
