--- Begin Message --- Dear Milson: If growing hemp in the U.S. was legal, the entire plastics
industry would die on the vine.
Most plastics, made from crude oil, contain Mercury (and other oil-based
poisons) and especially plastics used in the auto industry. When exposed to
the sun, especially during the summer, dashbords emit Mercury vapor which
appears as a fine white mist on the inside of the windshield.
Here in the U.S., DuPont Chemical has been the main beneficiary of the
plastics world.
Kind Regards, Wayne B.

>In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known
