  • krond, on 08/15/2008, -2/+12Why farm hemp? Watch this short film, made by the _U.S. Department of Agriculture_, which shows some of the many benefits of this crop:

  • CoolHandLuke70, on 11/20/2008, -0/+7Hemp should be grown everywhere. I will grow it if it becomes legal to grow. I would love that!
  • CoolHandLuke70, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6***** the idea of fingerprinting to grow hemp. They should fingerprint all the CIA movers of drugs since the CIA is the number one drug mover and pusher in the world, best place to focus the drug war! LOL
  • le0pardess, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6Pretty soon this all there is going to be left to manufacture. No more China infected imports and no more exports of, errr...nothing. Just little hemp farms and towns to begin rebuilding from scratch.

  • sobgop, on 11/20/2008, -0/+4Hemp seeds...mmmm tasty and a wonderful source of omega fatty acids!
  • Observant1, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3with the tech we have now theres very little that couldnt be made from hemp.
  • sullivancg, on 11/23/2008, -0/+2I'm so tired of people whining about how we need to find an answer to our energy crisis and that the solution needs to be a clean burning fuel. HEMP IS THE ANSWER!!! If we allow the cultivation of hemp once more and develop hemp-based fuels, we (not the Middle East, Russia, or Venezuela) would become the premier energy producer of the world! Bring up the benefits of hemp whenever you talk to a whining environmentalist or someone who complains about OPEC and their collusion on oil prices. And lastly, yes, join www.campaignforliberty.com.
