Regarding the U.S. Forest Service: Outdoor recreation, timber, range, watershed, wildlife and fish purposes remain the primary legal mission of the Service, but in preactice, most of its activity today is concerned with timber production, harvesting and sales.

Kant would wonder why we aren't growing hemp. We CAN control what we grow as long as we demand it. Although it is weak right now, American's PURCHASING POWER is extremely important in our current market. Let our voices be heard!!! Say it loud, say it proud!!! ...and then watch the slow, slow.....extremely slow change.....

I was extremely surprised by the fact that there were so many uses for hemp. I also didn't know there were other variations than the psycho-active variant. It can be used for so many different materials and food. It is ridiculous that it is not being grown. It grows super fast and requires very few pesticides. We need to start using it!

We do owe it to our future! The way we use the Earth's resources is not sustainable. Since there IS already a better way to make some things, why aren't we doing it? We should be practicing the precautionary principle here. We know that we are extracting resources too quickly, so our best bet is to use renewable ones!

It's up to us!!! We need to take action, preferably before the ice caps have melted.

I have been using hemp products for years and I'm glad to see you all as young people trying to get the word out. Our future will thank you!

How did destroying our planet become such a dependancy...what an aweful way to live. This is in no way sustainable. The politics of this renewable resource is hurting us and our future. 4/26/2012 10:13:02 pm

Great site, very informative. Why are we so afraid of being free.

Great site, very informative. Why are we so afraid of being free. Out of interest does anyone know the exact figures, more or less, of how much fibre/fiber (combustible?) that 1 hectare of hemp can produce? And how does this compare to other "plants" like Willow, Soya or Eucalyptos, for example. Hemps great advantage is that it can grow in very poor soil, great for deforested Amazon or drought ridden land bordering the Sahara i should imagine...so can it compete in rich soil conditions, e.g. Europe'

Industrial hemp is indeed a worthy endeavor.

Its not stupiity...its corruption. Just like 1937 when dupont, mellon , hearst and friends engineered the prohibition of MJ and hemp because of competition presented.

You may wish to add Kentucky to your list of legal states to grow hemp.
Hi, just wanted to say great work here. I have something of a site I created as part of a free class I was taking. Now that the class is over, I was thinking of sharpening the focus to the subject of hemp. While I am learning of all the great uses, my main focus is biofuel. I think with the right motivation, some folks that are anti pot could very easily be converted to pro hemp! I live in the south and we are still feeling the loss of our small farms during the late 70's and early 80's. Hemp could bring much of the south out of poverty in my opinion. I'm also an independent that leans conservative. Part of the reason many on the right tune out when the subject of hemp comes up is the association with pot. Now, truth be told, I don't take issue with medical marijuana either. But most on the right do because, like any blind follower regardless of party, they have been trained very well. Hemp is the natural enemy of people in the oil, textile and pharmaceutical industry and Republican leaders have a stranglehold on all three. But since the issue of medical marijuana issue began, more and more Democrats have been receiving cash from the pharmaceutical industry. I guess that may be why medical pot hasn't made bigger strides in mostly Democratically lead states.

We're using a product called canna-pet to ease pain and maintain appetite in our dog with cancer. The ingredient list just says "industrial hemp". Wondering if we're wasting our money.
