DAMN THEM!!! Drugs are bad, but hemp is so more than beyond useful. If they want to make any damned laws, they should apply to the shit being used as drugs-- not being used as real and useful things!

[this is all from memory, so I don't have any statistics or technical whatnot] The paper that could be made of it, as was somewhat mentioned, would be putting down the tree people business, but it would be SO much better for the environment, not having to cut down all of the big pretty trees . . . . The gas that can be made from it is so damned environment friendly and so damned cheap that the gas people would be out of business like that! Also, if these businesses were to be started, the profit they'd make would pay off the whole business in about 2 years. So of course all the corporate bastards are going to fight to the death to keep this shit illegal. *sigh* There's definitely something wrong with the world when people choose money over the environment . . . .
