The use of hemp dates back many thousands of years. Properly grown hemp has
virtually no psychoactive (intoxicating) effects when consumed. With a
relatively short growth cycle of 120 days, hemp is an efficient and economical
crop for farmers to grow. Hemp is among one of the most productive and useful plants known; also very
safe. The following materials can be made from hemp: paper, textiles, building
materials, food, medicine, paint, detergent, varnish, oil, ink, and fuel. Unlike
many crops, hemp can be grown in most locations and climates with only moderate
water and fertilizer requirements. Where hemp is grown, it has become a valuable
and environmentally friendly crop.

"The Cannabis Plant", Hemp or Cannabis as it is scientifically referred to is
the fastest growing biomass source on Earth. Biomass is
a cheap and efficient source of fuel. As a matter of fact, if we
were to farm only 6% of the country's available farmland with
hemp we could meet all of the country's Industrial
energy and transportation needs. Hemp is 26 times stronger than cotton and
lasts 10 times longer. We can produce 4 times as much
paper from Hemp as we can from trees at one fourth the
cost and 1/5 the pollution and it is 10 times stronger and lasts ten times
longer. It is a fact that Betsy Ross made our first
flag "Old Glory" from Hemp fiber. Also, our Constitution and Declaration of Independence were printed on Hemp paper. The soldiers
clothes during the revolutionary war were made from
Hemp. The second most prescribed medicine in the United States for 150 years for over 100 different medical illnesses was a
Cannabis extract and it is a lot stronger when taken in
concentrated form. This means that all the children in America for 150
years were brought up as DRUG USERS from birth. Or, it
just means simply, that we had a better understanding
of herbs and their medicinal usage 100 years ago than we do today. So who
has REALLY lost their mind, people who smoke pot, or
the "NORMALS" ?
