Why is hemp so special?
Hemp is by far the earth's leading resource. It is extraordinary because alone, it has the capabilities to reverse the greenhouse effect, purify our water, clothe us and shelter us.
It will grow in any state in America and most provinces of Canada, Europe and Asia. In warm climates it can be a year round crop. In most other places it can be harvested twice a year.
If Hemp crops were planted in only 6% of existing farm land it would provide all of our gas and oil needs ending our dependence of fossil fuels. It is the only biomass source known capable of making the planet energy independent.
Hemp is a very easy crop to grow; well it's a weed, so it grows fast, easy and anywhere. It yields 3-6 tons per acre on any land that grows wheat, corn or oats. It is extremely easy on the earth, due to it's density of leaves and standing 8-12ft above the ground it chokes out all other weeds eliminating the need to use chemicals or pesticides. The hemp plant is capable of withstanding heat, mildew, and insects and is not damaged by light.
The earliest record of hemp being weaved into fabric dates back to 8,000-7,000BC.
60+ years of government suppression of information has resulted in virtually no public knowledge of the incredible potential of the hemp fiber or its uses.
If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were to be banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation...there would only be one source known and capable of providing the worlds demand for paper, clothing, transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while at the same time reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, cleaning our atmosphere...that substance is Cannabis Hemp.
