You obviuosly didnt watch the videos. Itis a wonder crop and can replace other crops and oil.

* George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.

* Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow's export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.

* For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster's New World Dictionary.

* 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.

* The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.

* The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.

* Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.

* Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.

* In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture

* Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.

* Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.

* Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.

* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:

Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that Hemphemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:

'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.
...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.'

Hmmm:hmmm: There is a very interesting thread

I just wonder is it really fee sable that we can use the cannabis plant as an alternate fuel.And if so why hasn't it been given much more attention.Based on the videos provided it would seem that it has alot of potential.Also i ask you if you feel personally based on the evidence that you have provided us that the Cannabis plant can be a a replacement to oil and if so is there any real chance that Congress will agree and change the laws in regards to this issue and give it more attention? Thanks and also +++Rep on the videos provided.

**Rush Limbaugh** · May 14, 2008, 10:34 AM

And if so why hasn't it been given much more attention.

Because it would ruin the oil bussiness.

lso i ask you if you feel personally based on the evidence that you have provided us that the Cannabis plant can be a a replacement to oil.? Thanks and also +++Rep on the videos provided.

Yes I do. If been against green energy up until now. I just discovered this the other day. At first I thought it was a joke.

Yeah that is exactly what i thought too. Is disgraceful really

Yeah i thought it was a joke myself until i read your posts and saw the videos. I agree with you it does have potential.Now is just a matter of getting someone who is for Cleaner fuels and that is not getting paid by the Oil Companies to ascend to a powerful position within our Goverment to be able to put the issue of Reneawable resources and Cleaner burning fuels to the fore front and maybe end our addiction to oil and our butt kissing of the middle east. Whether that will ever happen Fate and Destiny and Time will reveal those answers to us. I think that maybe it is a stretch to think that anything will change but hey i still hold out hope for humanity to correct and learn from there mistakes. Good thread and Post's in your part

I will stay tuned to see what other member's of the TWC Community have to say on this Subject.

In your basement, genius.

By the way, is it a crime if your crop catches fire from time to time, in small quantities?:hmmm:

**Kiljan Arslan** · May 14, 2008, 06:51 PM

One of the few conspiracy theroies that I personally think actually can hold some weight.

However I don't thik hemp as a fuel source is the best idea. Now as a alternative to nylon and a real source for paper I'll support.

**Rush Limbaugh** · May 14, 2008, 07:03 PM

or the use of fertile land for hemp, not food.

You dont need fertile land to grow weeds on. Plus it provides plenty of food and is good for you. Better than most health foods even. Check out those videos.

However I don't thik hemp as a fuel source is the best idea. Now as a alternative to nylon and a real source for paper I'll support.

It provides 4 times as much bio diesel as corn per acre. Not one part of it is wasted.
