Hemp - The most useful crop in the world is illegal. That is a crime against humanity.
Dear Gerhardt,
Hemp is such a versatile material
that it literally threatened a handful
of businesses, which colluded to make
it illegal in the US during the late
1930s but up until then, it was
cultivated freely for its many uses.
It produces a superior diesel to that
drilled from the ground. One acre of
hemp produces the same amount of
a superior paper to that produced by
4 acres of trees.
Prior to its being made illegal, it was
used in the production of paint, which
was non-toxic, unlike the petroleum-
based paints with which it was replaced.
Hemp can be used to make a resilient
plastic: The list of uses derived from
the hemp plant is virtually infinite.
In 1938, Popular Mechanics magazine
ran an article called "New Billion-Dollar
Crop." This was the first time that the
words "billion-dollar" had been used to
describe a US agricultural product.
Popular Mechanics said, "A machine has
Popular Mechanics said, "A machine has
been invented that solves a problem
over 6,000 years old. The machine is
designed to remove the fiber-bearing
cortex from the rest of the stalk, making
hemp fiber available for us use without a
prohibitive amount of human labor.
Hemp is the standard fiber of the world.
It has great tensile strength and durability.
It is used to produce over 5,000 textile
products, ranging from rope to fine laces -
and the woody [materials] remaining after
the fiber has been removed contain 77%
cellulose and ca be used to produce more
than 25,000 products, ranging from
dynamite to cellophane."
