View Full Version : Hemp An illegal Soloution To Global Warming !!
We all know the truth about Hemp but did you know that Hemp is exceptional at devouring CO2 as the plant itself evolved in primordial times when natural CO2 was many times what they are today. Also Hemp oil has the same energy as diesel but releases 80 percent less emissions and Hempcanproduce 10 times more methanol than corn.

So here is my question, why when we are more aware than ever before about the Global Warming issue why are we not utilizing Hemp to combat the problem we are faced with after all they bombard us with the inconvenient truth but never give us the convenient answer to the problem do they.

Well there is the answer now all they have to do is to make the answer legal.

It is a vigourius growing plant that does devour CO2.
In australia they legalised it for trial in the state of NSW.
If they legalise it closer to me i am likely to trial some.
It would seriously confuse the pilots who fly around all day looking for drug crops though, i think this is another one (of many) reasons there is resistance to allowing commercial hemp plantations.
The connotations and similarities with marijuana are something TPTB do not like, and if there are many hemp fields around, they are so scared that someone may sneak in a female flowering mary jane in there...TPTB shit themselves at the thought, and know it will be harder to police than it is now.
At the moment they just scan the ground with planes and choppers and know how to spot outdoor mary-jane...if they had to pick it out of mass hemp field plantings its damn near impossible.
Hemp under centre pivot irrigation. Id like to see that. :cool:

They made Hemp legal during the second world war for ropes and textiles the product that was vital to our winning infact it was a Hemp parachute that saved George Bush's life in the second world war. Even the first U.S Flag was made of hemp as was the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Now we are faced with a new enemy if you believe the hype and Hemp is vital for our victory over Global Warming Yet a single law says we must find other ways forward and turn our backs on the most effective cure to a global illness.

Paul, Frank introduce bill to legalize hemp (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2221691/posts)
The Hill ^ (http://www.freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://briefingroom.thehill.com/2009/04/03/paul-frank-introduce-bill-to-legalize-hemp/)
Posted on 03 April 2009 19:17:33 by Sub-Driver (http://www.freerepublic.com/%7Esubdriver/)
Paul, Frank introduce bill to legalize hemp @ 2:04 pm by Eric Zimmermann
An unlikely duo has teamed up to legalize hemp. Reps. Barney Frank (D-MA) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) have introduced legislation to exclude "industrial hemp" from the definition of marijuana in the Controlled Substances Act. (h/t Washington Independent).
Introducing the legislation,
Paul said:It is unfortunate that the Federal Government has stood in the way of American farmers, including many who are struggling to make ends meet, competing in the global industrial hemp market. Indeed, the founders of our Nation, some of whom grew hemp, would surely find that Federal restrictions on farmers growing a safe and profitable crop on their own land are inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee of a limited, restrained Federal Government.
Drug policy is one of those rare issues that unites libertarians and liberals, a dynamic confirmed by the list of co-sponsors. Liberals like Rep. Raul Grijalva (D-AZ), the Chairman of the Progressive Caucus, are joining forces with Reps. Tom McClintock (R-CA) and Dana Rohrabacher.

Hemp is grown differently to Marijuana. Hemp is grown vertically... think of grass but 7 foot high and an inch thicker. Marijuana is grown horizontally to encourage branching as the buds is what growers want. You could clearly tell the difference. Hemp would look like grass from above and marijuana would look like bushes.
A Marijuana grower wouldnt dream of going near a hemp field! Once they mix the potency of the THC in Marijuana serious declines! not only that Hemp contains CBD which counteracts any THC pycshoactivity so it would be suicide to a MJ grower. Hemp fields everywhere would actually stop Marijuana growing as Hemp can cross breed at a 11 mile radius ;). Its like Green Giants Sweet Corn. No way would they allow any field corn to be grown near them!

Believe me, without saying too much, i know how both hemp and MJ are grown, indoor and out. Seriously.
Marijuana grown outdoors high density (plants close together) with no branch training, it is difficult to pick it from hemp in the air. It will grow a central leader as it chases the sunlight, the main stem will be much fatter in comparison to the branches (like the hemp you speak of) and get its buggest bud at the top, with a few spindly spongy (crap) buds lower down where there is little light.
It will look like a hemp plant.
Of course shape somewhat depends on the variety also, but it also hugely depends on plant density and position of lighting (in this case the sun)
If you see how differently the same DNA dope plant cuttings, taken off the same motherplant, can grow due to the conditions, ie outdoor far apart versus outdoor high density versus indoor with lots of artificial lighting all around the plant...add to that tying down and branch training vs freebush...you would see what i mean. You wouldnt think its the same variety by looking at it.
As for crossbreeding...well thats just after the fact...sure you wouldnt use seeds from a Dope plant if it grows near hemp...
But you dont smoke the seeds do you, if you plant seeds or clones/cuttings of good female weed strains it doesnt matter how many hemp plants are around growing at the same time, if you harvest the bud, its the same strain and the same high.

Hemp Bill Introduced In Congress (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/03/hemp-bill-introduced-in-c_n_182880.html)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/03/hemp-bill-introduced-in-c_n_182880.html
A bipartisan group of agitating members of Congress introduced legislation Thursday to allow farmers to grow industrial hemp.
Currently eight states -- Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia -- allow industrial hemp production or research, but federal law, which requires nearly-impossible-to-obtain-permits to grow hemp, trumps those state laws. The new bill would allow states to craft their own policy.
Hemp, a cousin of marijuana that can't get you stoned, is considered by the Drug Enforcement Administration to be a controlled substance because it kind of looks like pot. Synthetic fabric makers have long opposed hemp, which they see as competition.
The United States is the only nation that blocks its farmers from growing hemp, though hemp products are legal to import and to sell. Somebody would have to smoke several acres worth of hemp, which has negligible psychoactive properties, for that policy to make any sense.

Low stress training. I'm thinking about using this technique. Does it increase the yield and if so is it because you can concentrate the light on a more refined area as opposed to trying cover a taller plant?

If you only have one light on top of each, yeah id say it would. But sometimes the plant can take longer to get big if you pinch or crease the central leader and tie the branches out. So you would have to trial and error for your setup to see yield vs grow time. Depends how much light is in the room...
The best way IMHO, and others i have known, add more large lights if possible to the sides, as many as you can and as powerful as the one on top + reflective foil or panda plastic or mirrors on walls and floor if you dont already have...and leave the plant to grow free...
The internodes will be shorter and the branches (and later the flowers on them) will fatten up more versus the central leader without any training if you add lights to the sides as powerful as the top, all else being equal....
The branches will grow more sideways on a flatter angle on their own towards the closest light, instead of up, its amazing how they chase the closest and strongest light source to them and dont give a fuck about gravity...
The central leader will still chase the light on top...the branches will flower as big as the top or close to it with this method, so much so that they will need tying up later or some kind of support to stop sagging from weight. .

Exactly.
As a textile it competes with petrochemicals. Petrochemicals are controlled by few. The average person cant have an oil well. If hemp was legal = too much competition from the little guy + no more monopoly.
Hemp oil also competes with big pharma.
Im sure it could also even be used as animal feed, it makes more use of vertical height than hay etc if you have limited space..i know sheep like MJ leaf and stem...havent tried hemp but suspect would be the same...so it competes with monsanto seeds.
Unlike some plants that wont take, hemp can be easily procreated from cuttings on a large scale, so they cant be controlled by the likes of monsantos terminator seeds, the way grains can.
It can also be harvested mechanically quite easily on a large scale, like grain.
Theres more reasons, plus together with the link to Mary-J, its a no brainer as to why TBTB in so many places want it banned.
If you look at it from a non-programmed point of view its bleepin ridiculous, its a harmless weed with no drugs in it, yet somehow TBTB have extended the "Death! Murder! Insanity!" type brainwashing that they just barely get away with when its drugs...to a harmless and beneficial plant.

I'm using a 125w CFL 6500k + 3 x 25w on the sides and the same set up again for the flowering room but with the 2700k obviously. That's 2 plants in each room so 100w per plant + mylar sheeting.
If only CO2 was the real cause of global warming...
The longer tptb continue pushing the Global Warming CO2 agenda as being the cause of the problems we are faced with then we should counter there claims with the perfect soloution on how to end the problem that they are on a daily basis pushing in our faces as our fault and then charging us for causing it with Co2 footprint taxes etc.
Yet if they dont listen then we know for sure its all lies why would you turn your back on the cure if your child was ill you would say yes so why not say yes to a cure for global warming!?

WASHINGTON — Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming _ a radical idea once dismissed out of hand _ is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday.
That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.
The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays

Marijuana growers are not very friendly to the environment, though. It's possible they even have their own equipment for generating more carbon dioxide to help the plants grow faster. At least indoor growers may have done such things, not to mention all the electricity they are using.

This is an excellent point.
Grow outdoors!! Sow seeds in the ditches, in the forests, in the empty lots, all over the place! Choose strains that do well outside, strains that can flourish even on a porch or window sill. You can't save the planet if you're sucking it dry of electrical energy.

No argument about that from me i agree. But its prohibition which is one of the reasons that made growers move indoors.
Its much easier and cheaper to grow plants outside, even if it does take a bit longer and you may need more time and plants to get the same yields. Especially if you live where there is lots of strong sunlight.
Equipment doesnt come cheap.
Chelated hydroponic nutrients still work well even when used in soil, to speed things up...or you can go the organic route.
But you wont last very long if its on your property. If its not the police, it will be people ripping you off.
As mephibosheth said, the best way, find places where no one goes or can follow you on public land etc, and plant. Hard to get caught or for them to prove its yours...i was hiking and i found it.

Climate Negotiations Seek To Regulate New Area Of Farm Animal Effluence Emissions
http://www.prlog.org/10209403-climate-negotiations-seek-to-regulate-new-area-of-farm-animal-effluence-emissions.html
At the forthcoming conference on climate control where countries will discuss an extension to the current Kyoto Accord, a new resolution is being seriously discussed to cap and monitor the emissions of farm animal bio-gas emission levels.
Farm animal effluence are one of the biggest contributors to CO2 emissions in the agriculture industry according to enviromentalists and scientists have developed new techniques used to reduce the smelly and harmful effects of annimal farts.
One such technique developed by the Farming univerity of New Zeland is bio-effluance combustion of the dispelled bio-gas as they are emitted from the animal' rear.
Easy soloution is too grow Hemp around the fields where the animals are and also use the Hemp as a food source the answer is so simple it would take a law change to implament it into action but instead they start too charge farmers a Co2 tax on there animal fart emissions !crazy!

A simpler way would be to place a screen above the plant(s) and just train each branch/node to fan outward thru its own hole in the screen. Start by bending the plant's main trunk 90 degrees and tying it down to the side of the pot.
Not that I would know anything about that! :D

Training is one thing sure...i have seen screens and mesh/grids work well...but you can NEVER beat more lights IMO , all else being equal ;) ...I have seen setups completely flattened horizontal its cool to look at but a lot of work!
Not that I would know anything about that! :D
Lol. Me either. And incase any po lice, or as i like to call them , Rothschild monopoly drug policy enforcers, are reading...

I read a few years ago in "Hi Times" that in the early part of the last century, in america, there were two news paper giants, one got the pulp for its paper from hemp sourced from fields owned by the newspaper,and the other got its pulp from wood.The two newspapers were in fierce competition with each other. One day it was pointed out to the head of the wood pulp newspaper, that hemp was related to cannibis, at the time cannibis had`nt had any bad press as it was only bums n hobos that was into it. The wood pulp newspaper started a campagne about horrors of cannibis, in short, got it outlawed,got hemp outlawed, the hemp newspaper guys went out of business.Thats why all paper today in the western world is made from wood, even thou paper made from hemp is vastly superior,hemp paper has the durability of cotton,Bank notes are made from it. If you leave a dollar in your pants pocket, the dollar will survive being boiled and rinsed, where as a piece of paper made from wood pulp disinegrtates. Nuff sed.

Its hard to control hemp therefore tax it...unlike carbon tax to rothschilds...

You dont need monsanto seeds or pesticides or herbicides or pretty much anything other than sun and dirt...

For a start it would take a so called pothead too smoke atleast 2 fields worth before feeling any effect at all if any effect as the stuff does not get you high its a plant nothing more this is the myth everyone is duped into believing that Hemp get you high well i hate too burst the bubble but Hemp Plants are a different breed too the Marijuanna plant. :rolleyes:
This is about the fact that we are being lied too so we pay more and more too live in a corroupted ill thought out world sure people would smoke pot if it was legal or decriminalized and iam also sure that people would try and smoke hemp if they saw it being farmed and they would be shocked to learn it dont do shit which would be so funny too see. :D
But this is about Co2 tax money people cannot afford to pay as everything in this world is overpriced and living is getting harder and harder with more people losing there homes because of money well hemp can be made into money solves that problem also so what is holding us back why arnt we doing all we can too allow people to live happy wealthy lives instead of the rich sucking every last penny from us all what we need is a new Robin Hood dressed in a nice green hemp suit throwing money at us telling us too live long and healthy happy lives instead of struggling and keeping this survial of the richest alive what have we all become we are slaves too a system thats bleeds us dry and gives us nothing but more tax wounds in return.

Marijuanna is to the hemp family,what the Dude is to the human family,slang.mexican slang.Don´t get me started on theres no thc in it, and if there is ,the plant is so cool its got a cemical to cancel it out.As far as im aware theres only one speices of plant,that has a defined female and male.There are different strains,and they ALL work,the name marijuana is a myth dude.:rolleyes:
Its very diffrent from the High end THC cannabis of that i am sure and if your still scared people would use it then you could make all the plants male problem solved :)
Agricultural hemp, or cannabis satvia, comes from a different plant strain than the medical variety and is grown mainly for its fibres and seeds, producing thousands of environmentally beneficial products. It has a very low content of delta-9 THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), and should not be confused with other strains of cannabis with a high THC content, which is referred to as marijuana.
http://www.houseofhemp.co.uk/images/hempf1.jpg
Major current producers of hemp fibre include India, China,Russia, Korea, Romania and Hungary, where the cultivation of hemp has never been prohibited. Since 1992, the EU had passed legislation to commercially cultivate low-THC hemp along with subsidies including France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain and Germany. The EU has established a THC threshold in an attempt to distinguish between agricultural hemp varieties and marijuana. For hemp farmers, a THC ceiling of 0.2 percent on hemp varieties is allowed to be cultivated in Europe.

The intensity of the high depends primarily on the amount of THC present in the marijuana. Most people will get high from a joint containing only 0.5% of THC. Grass containing 3% of THC would be considered excellent quality. Once the legal restrictions are removed, marijuana will probably be sold by particular blends of cannabinoids and standard amounts of THC.

Those who grow indoors are propably not helping to save the Earth at all. Those who grow outdoors may be able to help saving the planet, although that's not their intention. (It's propably all about the money and the drugs.)
People will always being doing drugs untill the end of time unless they enforce a world police state i hate dealers myself oh how i wish that the honest decent people in the goverment took control of the trade as it is out of control with criminals making billions of pounds every year when that money could be used too better the communitys and house the poor of the nation.
Funny how the goverment drops the whole its skunk and comes out with the more you mess with "cannabis not stating there original Its skunk" the more it can mess with your mind slogans branding every type of cannabis instead of the original Its Skunk That the news echoed for the Home Secretary.
The war on users is hopeless the war on the drug is pointless and the lives lost is horrendous all for a plant that makes you mellow and eases pain and in some cases cures illness and not too mention it inspired a grenartion too take to the streets to stop the vietnam war flower power is nearly dead and gone.

marawnna was the naughty word of the 30s, and they stuck it on the hemp family.Skunk was the naughty word of yesterday,and now there morphing it onto the hemp family.Dont worship the high yeld,but recegnise the low, Its all TCP,fuck em.

Internet Spam is also getting the blame for adding too the CO2 Footprint !
Spam 'produces 17m tons of CO2'

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/45670000/jpg/_45670043_spamgraph.jpg Percentage of green house gas emissions per spam message
A study in stmto spam has blamed it for the production of more than 33bn kilowatt-hours of energy every year, enough to power more than 2.4m homes.
The Carbon Footprint of e-mail Spam report estimated that 62 trillion spam emails are sent globally every year.
This amounted to emissions of more than 17 million tons of CO2, the research by climate consultants ICF International and anti-virus firm McAfee found.
Searching for legitimate e-mails and deleting spam used some 80% of energy.
The study found that the average business user generates 131kg of CO2 every year, of which 22% is related to spam.
Unreal !! :mad:
http://refreshingnews9.blogspot.com/2009/08/fake-trees-could-fight-climate-change.html
Forests of "fake trees" should be planted across the country to reduce the impact of climate change, according to a study.
The scientists argue that a single synthetic tree could capture ten tons of carbon dioxide from the air every day
Experts claim the devices would be able to soak up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. 100,000 of them would remove the carbon emissions of every car, lorry and bus in Britain.
The scientists argue that a single synthetic tree, which would be two-thirds as tall as a wind turbine, could capture ten tons of carbon dioxide from the air every day, making it thousands of times more efficient at absorbing CO2 than a real tree.
The study, by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, into how technology could prevent climate change argues that using technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere could buy the world vital time. These fake trees do not produce oxygen ... :(

Hemp offers zero carbon housing.
Hemp Could Be Key To Zero-carbon Houses
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090408074401.htm
Hemp, a plant from the cannabis family, could be used to build carbon-neutral homes of the future to help combat climate change and boost the rural economy, say researchers at the University of Bath. A consortium, led by the BRE Centre for Innovative Construction Materials based at the University, has embarked on a unique housing project to develop the use of hemp-lime construction materials in the UK. Hemp-lime is a lightweight composite building material made of fibres from the fast growing plant, bound together using a lime-based adhesive. The hemp plant stores carbon during its growth and this, combined with the low carbon footprint of lime and its very efficient insulating properties, gives the material a ‘better than zero carbon’ footprint.

Lewi, have you any evidence that hemp produces economical amounts of ethanol?
Is there a graph to show the amounts of ethanol extracted from different plants?
truedruid

Here are some estimated ethanol yields by the gallon for different plants per acre of land:
Corn Grain = 354 gallons per acre (one of the world’s life sustaining food crops)
Sugar Cane = 662 gallons per acre (from South America, imported with a 100% duty)
Switch Grass = 1150 gallons per acre ( there is no reason to oppose this crop)
Hemp = 1000 gallons per acre (no need for chemicals or irrigation and can be cultivated 3-4 times a year)
Hemp produces two fuels Ethonal and Methonal and can also be used to feed livestock its a diverse and wondrous plant that has been boycotted because of the fuel monoploy.
Hemp Ethanol will Only Cost 50 cents per Gallon (http://hempnewstv.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/hemp-ethanol-will-only-cost-50-cents-per-gallon/)
http://hempnewstv.wordpress.com/2009/09/06/hemp-ethanol-will-only-cost-50-cents-per-gallon/
Hemp ethanol could be produced for $1.37 per gallon plus the cost of the feedstock, with technological improvements and tax credits reducing the price another dollar or so per gallon! (14) And the cost of the feedstock would become much more available as more hemp was grown for more products, providing more and more free (or nearly-free) feedstock as a “waste product”. Could you imagine paying under 50 cents per gallon (US) or 15 cents per liter (CAN) for your hemp ethanol?!!”

That is amazing if that is true. Don't forget to add hemp seed oil from those same plants for diesel.
The wonder resource.
Anna Brones: Legalize It and I Will Industrialize It: Industrial Hemp Is the Engine to Kick Start This Economy.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/anna-brones/legalize-it-and-i-will-in_b_322867.html
Multipurpose and versatile - hemp makes its way into everything from ice cream to paint to clothing - hemp could be called the wonder resource. In North America alone, the hemp industry accounts for over $360 million annually, and yet the U.S. has yet to make its way onto the list of agriculturally and economically savvy countries that are reaping the benefits of cultivating the crop.
Cultivating industrial hemp isn't illegal in the U.S., but the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) strictly regulates it, and obtaining a permit to grow it is practically impossible. In fact, the "DEA ensures that industrial hemp is in the same class as marijuana," says Wayne Hauge, a farmer and industrial hemp activist from North Dakota. This drug taboo has made it difficult to pass legislation that would protect farmers and encourage them to grow industrial hemp. From an agricultural perspective, harvesting industrial hemp makes sense; it's a great rotational crop that requires little or no chemicals, and in an economic landscape where many farmers are suffering, wouldn't it be advantageous to allow them to grow a crop proven to be economically viable?
In the name of progress?'

Paper is another point - with Hemp producing 4X the amount of paper than any other tree around, it has been snubbed at because that means paper manufacturers would have to replace their existing fields of trees - an expensive undertaking yes - but good for the environment.

No more acid rain .. :D
(http://www.hemp.co.uk/Hemp_UK/Fuel.html)http://www.hemp.co.uk/Hemp_UK/Fuel.html
Industrial hemp is the number one biomass producer on earth, meaning an actual contender for an economically competitive, clean burning fuel. Hemp has four times the biomass and cellulose potential and eight times the methanol potential of its closest competing crop - corn. Burning coal and oil are the greatest sources of acid rain; biomass fuels burn clean and contain no sulphur and produce no ash during combustion. The cycle of growing and burning biomass crops keeps the world’s carbon dioxide level at perfect equilibrium, which means that we are less likely to experience the global climactic changes (greenhouse effect) brought about by excess carbon dioxide and water vapors after burning fossil fuels. Think of all the economic opportunities that could be created by producing clean energy instead of endangering our health and safety with the last remains of an unsustainable and dirty source.

CAR buyers who suspect they have parted with money for old rope may soon be right. Ministers are to spend more than £500,000 in an attempt to develop the world’s first recyclable vehicle made from hemp.

A deal between Defra, the environment department, Ford, the car manufacturer, and Hemcore, which grows plants closely related to the ones that produce cannabis, could see hemp being used as the basis for a wide range of components. The fibrous qualities of their stalks means they can be used to make clothes, paper and ropes.
“Natural fibres offer many technical and environmental attractions,” said a Defra spokesman. “They have high strength and stiffness, low raw material and energy costs and the potential for very low environmental impact.”
Early estimates suggest that hemp-based materials could replace up to 100kg of other plastics, metals and resins within the average car. Since hemp produces about two tonnes of fibre per hectare, each hectare could grow enough for 20 cars.
Great News !!
This could be the time to pass industrial hemp law
October 21, 2009
http://www.theprairiestar.com/articles/2009/10/22/ag_news/opinion/edit10.txt
North Dakota and Montana are two of nine states that have approved legislation allowing industrial hemp farming or its research. Minnesota is among 28 states that have introduced legislation at some point to allow farmers to grow hemp.There is currently a proposed bill in the U.S. House called the the Hemp Farming Act of 2009. If passed, that bill would allow U.S. farmers to grow the crop.This could be the time to pass industrial hemp farming legislation. The current administration has sent out a directive asking federal agencies to respect state rights.
The actual directive from President Obama stated, “Executive departments and agencies should be mindful that in our federal system, the citizens of the several states have distinctive circumstances and values, and that in many instances it is appropriate for them to apply to themselves rules and principles that reflect these circumstances and values. As Justice Brandeis explained more than 70 years ago, ‘it is one of the happy incidents of the federal system that a single courageous state may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country'.”
Applied to industrial hemp farming, that means that states ought to be able to pass legislation regarding hemp farming.
Hemp should be plan B ... ;)

We all know the truth about Hemp but did you know that Hemp is exceptional at devouring CO2 as the plant itself evolved in primordial times when natural CO2 was many times what they are today. Also Hemp oil has the same energy as diesel but releases 80 percent less emissions and Hempcanproduce 10 times more methanol than corn.
http://forum.grasscity.com/general-marijuana-news-around-world/1397-hemp-car-make-record-10-000-mile-trip.html
So here is my question, why when we are more aware than ever before about the Global Warming issue why are we not utilizing Hemp to combat the problem we are faced with after all they bombard us with the inconvenient truth but never give us the convenient answer to the problem do they.
http://www.amazon.com/HEMP-VICTORY-GLOBAL-WARMING-SOLUTION/dp/0979376513
Well there is the answer now all they have to do is to make the answer legal.
Because C02 does not cause warming.
Bceause the global warming scam is about money and outlawing hemp is about money too.
