Ganalane,

Many people have said hemp is a very versatile fibre.

Has been used historically with no problems - until....

Fibre to make fabric. Fibre to make rope. Biofuel applications.

Source of pulp for paper. Lotsa uses!

Get rid of the red tape and we can have another crop which will have numerous markets. I hope you good luck with this venture.

I also have a funny MJ story. My aunt found some growing wild in her manure pile. Also found evidence of "harvesting". Turns out this wild cultivar has about the same THC level as tobacco. As my uncle put it, "you could smoke that stuff all day and get nothing but a headache". But the local, dope-starved teenagers didn't know any better and kept returning for more.

A fine example of the dumb getting dumber!
