From CNN -Fast-growing hemp used for food, paper, textiles and car parts -Hemp and marijuana have tetrahydrocannabinol, but the level in hemp is lower -North Dakota is one of seven states that have OK'd production or research -The DEA will not approve permits for two farmers in that state State official backs hemp North Dakota's agriculture commissioner believes the U.S. should get into the business of producing hemp products. Market ready for hemp? The president of Hemp Oil Canada explains why there is a worldwide market for hemp products. What Is It Good For? Hemp's handiness can be traced back hundreds of years. Here are a few examples of its myriad applications: • Paper -- The plant's long, strong fibers make it an alternative to timber for paper. The Declaration of Independence and first Gutenberg Bibles were drafted on hemp. • Construction -- Hemp's woody core makes a good source of boards for construction materials. • Auto parts -- The plant's fiber can be crafted into a composite that is used for interior automobile parts typically made of fiberglass or other materials. • Textiles -- For centuries, hemp fibers have been used for fabrics, both fine and coarse. • Body and health care products -- Oil from the seeds is used in lotions, balms and cosmetics. • Food -- The seeds and oil are high in protein and essential fatty acids and are used in a variety of edibles. • Ethanol -- Though the technology is embryonic at best, hemp's high cellulose content makes it a good candidate for biofuel production.

Mike Gravel (degree in economics from Columbia University) who is very much still in the Presidential race. He wants to legalize and regulate drugs, bring us alternative energy (windmills, maglev trains), off oil and gas in 5 years, carbon in 10, decrease military expenditures of $500 billion per year, repeal income tax for fair tax, provide health care - gravel2008 us His National Initiative would allow people to become lawmakers. We could have a national law legalizing hemp in USA.

High quality fiber and oil; hurds are 77% cellulose without lignin, requiring no toxic chemicals to process; compared to pine trees, 4 times more cellulose per acre over 20 years (USDA); best biomass source for ethanol and pyrolysis, requiring far less water and better on the land than corn; minimal pesticide and herbicide requirements...there's more...see Chris Conrad's book, "Hemp, Lifeline to the Future".
