The measure by Assemblyman Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, cleared the Public Safety Committee on Tuesday night, 4-2, and was sent to the Appropriations Committee, the last stop before the full Assembly.

'Industrial' Takes Root By Donna Leinwand
Source: USA Today*November 21, 2005
David Monson is a conservative Republican in North Dakota's legislature. He's also a farmer who believes that a new cash crop could revitalize his state's agricultural industry, which has been suffering from poor harvests and depressed soy and corn prices. That policy has led to an explosion in goods containing high-fiber, high-protein hemp that has been fueled by Americans' thirst for organic products — and perhaps by the tie some consumers see between hemp and marijuana, a counterculture symbol for decades.

Chinese Hemp Industry has Boundless Potential
Business News Source: People's Daily November 05, 2001
As world fashion increasingly moves toward simplicity, comfort and health protection, experts point out that hemp, a major economic crop in China, could have great market prospects after the nation's entry into the World Trade Organization. Xia Jingyuan, a senior official with the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture in charge of the extension of agricultural technology, said that the annual output of Chinese linen is worth over 10 billion yuan (about 1.2 billion US dollars).

WHERE'S THE HEMP? By John E. Dvorak, Hempologist

(Excerpted) The U.S.S. Constitution (Old Ironsides) is one of this country's national treasures. Over 60 tons of HEMP on was used on the Constitution. Everything from Sails, rigging, uniforms, ropes, oakum, etc

On her 200th birthday. On July 21, 1997, Constitution sailed off of Marblehead, MA under her own power for the first time in 116 years. The fact that little, or possibly no, "true" cannabis hemp was used during Constitution's restoration mars the celebration of this historic event.

"that's not restoring it, that's defacing it"
Chris Conrad (author, Hemp For Health)

Was this oversight a conspiracy by an evil industrial/political cabal, who, for over 60 years, have plotted and schemed to prevent cannabis hemp from being used to provide innumerable eco-friendly products?

Evidence of this exists in the March, 1997 issue of Buzz Magazine, where DEA special agent, Abel Reynoso, was quoted as saying "Nobody cares about the environmental uses of hemp. That's taking us back to the Stone Age. . . Whatever product you can make from hemp, DuPont will come out with a synthetic fiber to replace it."

The U.S.S. Constitution “Old Ironsides”
Jack Herer’s “The Emperor Wears No Clothes”
There were at least 60 tons of Hemp on the U.S.S. Constitution alone. Partial list of rigging (rope) required for the 1927 restoration of the U.S.S. Constitution from “The Frigate Constitution” by F. Alexander Magoun, Pgs. 96, 97. Each mast (fore, mizen, main, etc.) required lifts, braces, reefs, jiggers, tackles, etc. The Constitution carried well more than four miles of hemp rope.

Cannabis Hemp: The Invisible Prohibition Revealed

Switching cotton fields to hemp fields would improve: the quality of our soil, the durability of our clothes, the safety of our ground source water, the quality of our air, and the preservation of forests cut for paper (not to mention saving hundreds of thousands of lives prematurely ended by disease caused by pollution)

In 1993, two hundred and fifty thousand tons of pesticides were used to grow cotton world-wide. These pesticides wash into streams and rivers, destroying eco-systems and poisoning human water supplies. Today the water supplies of many large cities are contaminated.

Many of the vegetables we eat and clothes we wear contain pesticide residues. We must develop and utilize sustainable technologies if we want to survive and prosper in the next millenium. Hemp is a perfect sustainable raw material for thousands of products. Textiles, cosmetics, building materials, fuel and food can all be made from hemp.
