May 3, 2009, 2:45am (report abuse)Hemp is an earth friendly, renewable resource that provides a source for bio-fuels, plastics, oil, seed, building materials, fiber, high quality protein, essential fatty acids. It has virtually no THC, cannot "get you high". And no one could successfully try to hide "marijuana" in the middle of it, because it would lose potency due to cross pollination.
Hemp was a billion dollar business in 1937. Today it has the potential of becoming a huge economic engine for stressed farmlands. Today we have to import all our hemp.
We are the only developed nation that prohibits it. It is time to move beyond the misinformation that caused it to be prohibited in the first place.
