"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?" - Henry Ford

He almost said Federal Reserve (near the end).

people are smoking pot in the crowd

[passwordthisass]

Famous pot users Bill Clinton , Carl Sagan (astronomer-best selling author ) Reggie Miller , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Amy Winehouse , Thomas Jefferson , Bill Maher . The greatest discovery of modern times was in part because of LSD . Francis Crick was on an LSD trip when he concieved of the now famous DNA double helix . He stated that he owed the discovery to the use of LSD which freed his mind ! Our beliefs on drugs are the product of brain washing !

America needs Ron Paul.

If you Love Freedom, our constitution, Hemp, people and states rights, then please check out Ron Paul and get involved if you aren't already.

The next few months are critical. He has a chance to win.

Now is the time to sacrifice

Ron Paul is my favorite candidate. I re-registered Republican this year just to vote him in! 12/16 I'll be there!

Dude that data says that corn is the WORST, followed by hemp which is better, and then a long list of other plants that are difficult to grow. You must realize, though, that hemp can be used for so many things, like paper, food, clothes, construction compound, fuel, oil, grease, biomass, among other things.

Also, hemp REPLENISHES the soil it grows in, as apposed to crops like corn and cotton, and was often used as a fallow crop before hemp was illegalized.

[alliedtoasters]

Did I mention that hemp absorbs about 4x as much CO2 as most crops, and contains up to 100 times more cellulose than corn, the most common source of cellulose as of yet.

Did you know that the hemp seed is THE most nutritional food on the planet?

Hemp can grow in almost any climate. It is basically Earth's gift to all of humanity, but we have made it illegal and have tried to extinguish it from existence!

[greyflcn]

==more cellulose than corn, the most common source of cellulose as of yet.==

I would sure hope not.

To date, I've not heard of a single US commercial cellulosic ethanol plant. Much less one that uses corn stover.

==Did I mention that hemp absorbs about 4x as much CO2 as most crops==

No, but I'd like to see you quote your source.

Since I don't think you can.

Dude Hemp is worse than Soybeans.

Yeah nitrogen fixation isn't neccisarily a good thing from a GHG standpoint.

Its true cellulose has not been successfully converted to ethanol cost effectively but you cannot deny the importance of nitrogen fixation. Nitrogen is the hardest to obtain resource of the big 3 fertilizer components; potassium, phosphurus, Nitrogen. Look into how much damage chemical fertilizers are doing to water supplies and creating algal blooms and consider how plants that can fix nitrogen lessen the need for chemical. please explain how nitrogen fixing is bad?

[greyflcn]

==please explain how nitrogen fixing is bad?==

N2O formation.

Which is 296x more potent than CO2 as a GHG

Nitrogen fixing plants consume Nitrogen, they dont release it into the air the same way they consume carbon dioxide. I still dont understand how nitrogen fixing or nitrogen absorbing is bad?

[MidstreamHorse]

Awesome. Yeah, he is the only politician I actually WANT to listen to. I enjoy it! I have never been able to stomach any other candidate.
