You folks are missing the big picture

Even if hemp oil were not used to power our cars, airplanes, etc. It could be used to power desk lamps, and similar things, and most importantly, it can replace paper and we wouldn't have to destroy the Amazon.

Hemp is not marijuana, has no psychotropic properties, yet it is still illegal to farm in the USA. Why? Might it be because of a (zomg!) joint CONSPIRACY on the part of several major industries to keep it out of competition?

When hemp cultivation is outlawed because the government says it's a "drug," when anyone with an IQ of 1 or over can see that it's NOT a drug, one has to ask ones' self what is the real reason behind its criminalization.

Canada grows industrial hemp. What's wrong with the USA?
