First of all, I bet all the hippies already know that Hemp is not the same as "Marijuana" (which is the one you can smoke, btw!) And, Second they probably also know that you could smoke a whole acre of Hemp and never get high. Considering the fact, the Hemp plant only contains trace amount of the active element THC which is concentrated in the medicinal Cannabis plant.

...well, hemp would make a great material for a race car in all actuality. Hemp plastic can be made 3/16th of an inch thick and it is 10X stronger than steel,
Imagine the lives we could save with cars 10x stronger than steel. Forget, race cars we should all have hemp cars. They would be super safe.

...anyway hemp cars are really old news! Seriously, In 1941 Henry Ford build a biomass car comprised of hemp, sisal, and wheat straw. There is a video that shows Henry Ford bashing the back fender with an Axe and then pointing to the spot to show no damage at all.

What an ignorant statement! Hemp can save the world...there are so many sustainable uses for Hemp and Medicinal Cannabis...the list goes on and on.

A quick example:
Cannabis/Hemp is the most efficient plant in the plant kingdom it makes full use of light (and converts it into energy that radiates form the plants and can be seen by heat seeking devices from the sky). It removes many harmful toxins in the air and converts it to clean fresh air. While during its growing season is removing Many more harmful toxins from the soil leaving it clean for rotation crops. The fruit of the Hemp plant is highly nutritious and is equivalent to meat, only better. So, now what to do with the Hemp stalks once it's grown?!
1 acre of Hemp replaces 4 acres of trees in paper
20 barrels of oil, 15000 lbs of fiber

And that is the short version...Cannabis can also build entire houses and cures any disease related to mutated cells...and even still the List Goes ON!

Peace and One, Love OnEarth
