Henri Ford already asked why using unsustainable plant cadaver instead of sustainable
hemp, as we did up to that point.
?? Hemp has never been a sustainable alternative to oil as an energy source. When we burn
oil we're using the energy stored in plant matter over millions of years. Hemp doesn't
grow any faster than corn or wheat or trees - none of which grow fast enough to replace
oil as we use it now.
The answer has been given by a conspiracy which has been able to make us all believe
that hemp, the most cultivated plant ever, was a "dangerous drug" which should be made
illegal everywhere on the planet.
Actually growing hemp was encouraged by the U.S. government before World War II because it
was used to make rope. The marijuana that is cultivated now for it's pyschotropic effects
is less suitable for rope.
The oil industry, together with the pharma-industry, is build on lies from the very start.
There's no lie that oil provides easily used and transported energy and has a high
return-on-energy-investment. It replaced coal as a cleaner more efficient fuel.
Hemp has been made illegal the day the first industrial hemp handling machine
was build.
There were machines for making hemp into rope long before it was classified as in illegal
drug. The "war on drugs" is a relatively recent phenomenon - and one that I think will
fade away soon. I think you place far to much significance on it. In the whole scheme of
things the illegality of marijuana is a very minor problem.
