Hemp car was an alternative-fuel project car that utilized hemp biodiesel for fuel. Industrial hemp would be an economical fuel if hemp were legal to cultivate in the United States. Industrial hemp has no psychoactive properties and is not a drug. Hemp Car demonstrates the concept of hemp fuels on a national level and promotes the reformation of current law.

The car toured America, with stops in Canada, frequenting alternative-energy, environmental, and hemp-legalization events. The car departed from Washington D.C. on July 4, 2001 and returned home on October 2, 2001. The car generated publicity, emphasizing the utility of industrial hemp to modern society. We provided the public with information about biofuels, hemp, their uses, and current American laws. We established a world distance record for a vehicle utilizing hemp for fuel: 10,000 miles.

A network of hemp activists provided us with the hemp oil at planned intervals throughout the country. Funding, sponsorships, and networking were necessary for Hemp Car to succeed. We give great thanks to all of the activists and concerned citizens who made Hempcar possible.

  • Would be nice if we could replace cotton with Hemp also, as growing cotton is very destructive to the environment with all the pesticides it takes to grow cotton!

    Anything that can be made out of a tree can also be made out of Hemp, and Hemp grows extremely fast! (smile)

  • Anyone know where I can pick up some hemp oil/bio diesel in Canada? That's where I am from.

  • Is the bio diesel made from the oil of the seeds and or is it the stock of the plant that is transferred to biodiesel

    Or all of the above?

  • If high THC cannabis was legalized it would be even more competitive against normal oil. farmers could sell the weed and use the rest of the plant for bio-fuel and fertilizing the fields.

  • SAVE OUR TREES

    Trees grow 20 years

    Marijuana grows 3 months
