¶8) The hemp hurds were used in dynamite. Probably the wicks also, as they were used for lamps. Hemp is Canvas and Burlap and Gruel for breakfast.

As for the tobacco. The thousands of chemicals added to tobacco products are most likely what causes the damage. Though never mentioned by either political party. The Native American organic tobacco, along with the Egyptian and Turkish tobacco (before NAFTA GATT) never reported the diseases found with American tobacco product users. The senseless comparison to Ganja grown without the added chemicals is also a tactic of both parties DEAth mongering. Seems the newest tobacco prohibition funds Liberal causes though not as well as the old cold war on Ganja. Someday maybe we can deal with reality.

February 1928: Mechanical Engineering Magazine:
"THE MOST PROFITABLE & DESIRABLE CROP THAT CAN BE GROWN"

Because of the printing schedule and deadline, Popular Mechanics prepared this article in Spring of 1937 when cannabis hemp for fiber, paper, dynamite and oil, was still legal to grow and was, in fact, and incredibly fast-growing industry.

New Billion-Dollar Crop Popular Mechanics, February 1938

American farmers are promised new cash crop with an annual value of several hundred million dollars, all because a machine has been invented which solves a problem more than 6,000 years old. It is hemp, a crop that will not compete with other American products. Instead, it will displace imports of raw material and manufactured products produced by underpaid coolie and peasant labor and it will provide thousands of jobs for American workers throughout the land. The machine which makes this possible is designed for removing the fiber-bearing cortex from the rest of the stalk, making hemp fiber available for use without a prohibitive amount of human labor. Hemp is the standard fiber of the world. It has great tensile strength and durability. It is used to produce more than 5,000 textile products, ranging from rope to fine laces, and the woody "hurds" remaining after the fiber has been removed contains more than seventy-seven per cent cellulose, and can be used to produce more than 25,000 produces, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane.
