If we could use hemp for fuel:

1) The Middle East would literally dry up and blow away.

2) Corn would not be needed for ethanol, therefore food prices could stabilize.

3) American farmers would have a new monster cash crop.

4) Hurricanes would not effect fuel prices.

5) Drilling would not be an issue.

hempcarWhy haven't we already begun?

The idiots will come to a state that's trying to get HEMP legal as a cash crop, and demand that farmers put 8 or 10 ft chainlink fences around their fields. They come in crying about farmers growing recreational cannabis within the fields of HEMP. HEMP is of the same genre as recreational cannabis, it will cross pollinate. If recreational, or medical cannabis is cross pollinated it looses much of it's potency. No cultivator with a half a brain would try to grow "pot" and HEMP in the same field. The idiots of which I speak are the DEA. Henry Ford made his plastic bodied car with HEMR, SYSAL, and WHEAT STRAW. I don't see PETROLIUM anywhere in that formula. You would think the feds would be able to get their heads out of big oils butts, as slick as it must be. This pisses me off no end.

You and I both, Ironman !

It's great to know that our government is taking such good care of us ! HA HA HA HA

DEA = Done Enough Already ! What losers !

300 gallons of hemp seed oil per acre. That figure is based on feral,(wild) hemp, AKA ditch weed. I have no doubt that considerably more could be obtained from a crop specificly planted for seed production. After the oil has been pressed from the seed, that which remains, 4 tons, could be used as food. LOOK IT UP ON THE NET. Put Hemp Bio Desiel in your search bar, check it out. There is absolutely no doubt, in my mind, that the federal government is maintaining HEMP as a schedule 1 controled Substance for the sole purpose of keeping the big oil companies from having to share the wealth. I do believe this is ILLEGAL.

I'm not an expert on hemp,but,isn't it illegal to grow because 99% of the people can't tell the difference between a hemp plant and a cannibas plant?It would drive law enforcement crazy trying to keep people from stealing the hemp plants to smoke.And by the way all biodesiel will freeze at 32 degrees.You can only run 25% bio in winter.The best legal crop for bio is cottonseed.Why not develop a cotton plant which produces more seed? Or is this another back door way to get pot legalized?

May be right.But no kid is going to try to smoke it.

KK; Thank you. That is indeed an excelent source of information. It is on record, bil, that Gearge Washington would take the time and effort to seperate the males, from the females of his garden.

Thanks furbie. My intention with all my post is to get people to think. To try to get them to get on the net, and investigate for themselves. If someone doesn't like "my truth", they need to get all the facts to back up "their truth". For example= The process for making paper from wood pulp is not environmentally friendly at all. There are a number of hazardous chemicals used in the process. The process for changing hemp pulp into paper is MUCH more environmentally friendly. You can get 4 times the pulp from an acre of hemp than you can from an acre of trees. What possible sense does it make for the federal government to prevent American farmers from growing this crop? Ask your rep, congress person, your senator, what the hell, ask the governor. You will find that they have a bad habit of thanking you for your concern, but never give you a straight answer.

ironman. i live off of walnut. are you close to that?

I live off Charles. My patriotism is on display for all to see.
Thanks Skoot. One evening in Jersey, out in the country I, and some friends of mine were stoned, and outside during a BIG flake snow storm. We were just enjoying mother nature, playing in the snow like children, which we were not, when mother nature decided to play with us. Have you ever seen lightning during a snow storm at night. AWSOME. An experience of a lifetime, have never seen it again.
