Market ready for hemp? The president of Hemp Oil Canada explains why there is a worldwide market for hemp products.
What Is It Good For? Hemp's handiness can be traced back hundreds of years. Here are a few examples of its myriad applications:
• Paper -- The plant's long, strong fibers make it an alternative to timber for paper. The Declaration of Independence and first Gutenberg Bibles were drafted on hemp. • Construction -- Hemp's woody core makes a good source of boards for construction materials. • Auto parts -- The plant's fiber can be crafted into a composite that is used for interior automobile parts typically made of fiberglass or other materials. • Textiles -- For centuries, hemp fibers have been used for fabrics, both fine and coarse. • Body and health care products -- Oil from the seeds is used in lotions, balms and cosmetics. • Food -- The seeds and oil are high in protein and essential fatty acids and are used in a variety of edibles. • Ethanol -- Though the technology is embryonic at best, hemp's high cellulose content makes it a good candidate for biofuel production.

Dupont and all those should look at the riches they can gain by legalizing this plant. Medication for cancer and pain relief, construction products, clothing and textiles, foods etc etc etc. Its not just a "feel good" plant that is unadulterated that people enjoy to smoke, it could save our forests thus saving our wildlife crisis etc etc. Common people, use your brains (whats left of them too much use of oil derived products) and legalize it and lets save the planet and secure our future.
Forget it. DUPONT owns the law makers in this country. We could cut our oil dependancy probably by a 1/4 to 1/2, but Our GREAT LAWYERS/LAWMKERS WILL NOT HAVE IT, Because DUPONT gives huge campaign monies to keep them in business. It is a shame and a sham all in one.
Very nutritious hemp seed oil is great food and if it were more economical I would eat it every day. Hemp milk made from the seeds here in Salt Lake must be imported and costs 4 dollars a quart or I'd be drinking it every day too. These artificial financial barriers are interfering with every person's natural rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, ALL THREE. Prohibition is killing. Add to the above, THC is shrinking cancerous tumors in University research labs around the world.
that's not hemp.. That's actual marijuana. It's the THC that does it.. does not cure aids, that is silly.. It has shown awesome potential with cancer, which is not being pursued properly!
