Hemp is not marijuana. It contains only the most minute trace amounts of THC, most all of which is removed in processing. Hemp was grown and produced as a product important to our national security as early as colonial America and as late as WWII.
Hemp may be used to produce hundreds of products from omega-3 oil supplements to hair care products to clothing to rope and twine. The list is massive.
However, most importantly to the present, Hemp can replace products which currently ravage our land, our air and our bank accounts. Synthetic products currently manufactured using petroleum such as plastics can be replaced by this cheap, natural material which is grown with no pesticides to further harm the environment. Paper, particle board, and many other related items for which the logging industry strip our earth can be replaced by hemp. Furthermore, growing hemp actually cleans the air by consuming carbon in the air which is caused by the use of fossil fuels and exaberated by the removal of the earths forests for unnecessary human consumption on a scale never known before in history.
The US DEA is used as nothing more than an enforcement arm of these anti-humanity industries. The so-called "War on Drugs" spends countless manhours keeping a legitimate product which would benefit our society, our farmers, our communities, our workforce and our earth, illegal instead of spending their efforts on the massive amounts of heroin being imported by the poppy growers in Afganistan now that they are now free to do so. Free to do so via the expenditure of our young men's lives and our tax money.
Speak up, speak out, speak to your elected representatives... Look into it.
