The Plant That Could Save the World

As we all know there is a constant battle between government and certain groups of people trying to get hemp legalized. This has been a topic that's been done over and over again with many people's opinions and many valid points but I want to share just some of my facts and the good uses that we can benefit from if hemp where legal and used throughout the world. Before I go on I just want to state I don't condone the personal use of marijuana for fun or for trafficking for profit, I just believe there is a lot of good that we can benefit from with this plant.

For starters, we all know about global warming and air pollution and how badly we really need to keep our trees in order to survive but trees are going faster than ever just to keep up with our paper needs where as if we used hemp it's pretty much a renewable resource. There is documentation from the U.S Department of Agriculture stating from test they have done that 1 acre of hemp can produce 4 times more than any 1 acre of trees ever could. Also think of this, it takes a tree 20-60 years to grow to full maturity where hemp can grow 10-20 feet in 4 months under right conditions. On top of all that building materials made from hemp are stronger then wood and cheaper to manufacture.

Also hemp would be a great source for fuel. Hemp produces more biomass than any plant that can be grown in the U.S. This biomass can be converted to fuel in the form of clean-burning alcohol, or no-sulphur man-made coal. Hemp has more potential as a clean and renewable energy source than any crop on earth! It is estimated that if hemp was widely grown in the U.S. for fuel/energy, it could supply 100% of all U.S. energy needs.

It's clear and the facts are all out there and these are only a few I could think of but to me in my personal opinion, I think the governments should be looking into changing some laws soon before it's too late to do anything. The key to save man is right in the open and it's just has to be used!
