Here’s and idea… why not recognize that Industrial Hemp should have never been made illegal in the first place (IT CONTAINS LESS THAN .02% THC - DOES NOT GET YOU HIGH - there is more drug in the poppy seeds on your bagel). Let’s have Mexico and the U.S.A. to grow Hemp, farmers go back to their business of farming useful crops instead of Marihuana or Opium Poppies for the narcos and we also put an end to cutting down the world’s forests for paper production. The farm workers in Mexico left their fields because they could not afford to grow their crops (pesticides, water, machinery), the so called “free trade agreements” have not helped either. Hemp grows fast, it grows like a weed, it has no need of pesticides and feeds on 10 TIMES LESS WATER than cotton. How’s that for a sustainable crop. Any questions?

Patented in 1942, Henry Ford’s “Plastic Car” was made from Soybean resins and Hemp fibers. The plastic was about 30 percent lighter than metal but 10 times more resistant to impact. The car ran on ethanol made from Hemp.
