Hemp != Bad?

By Daniel Miessler on July 22nd, 2006: Tagged as Culture | Law | Religion | Sociology

Regardless of your stance on the legality of marijuana, the argument for why hemp should be universally used is pretty compelling.

  • Michael S Black

    One of the biggest fallacies ever spread was that it is impossible to grow commercial hemp without growing psychoactive marijuana. The fact is, commercially grown hemp is practically devoid of pscyhoactive substances. In hemp you are growing a plant and trying to get it to devote ALL of its energies into growing tall and thin…When you grow marijuana, you are trying to get all of its energies to be devoted to sap production, which in turn drives up the levels of various cannabanoids.

    Whatever your stance on legalized marijuana, as Daniel says, hemp SHOULD be legal to use for material. Almost nothing in the WORLD grows faster, or has such a high conversion rate of raw product to useable material, than hemp. I would suggest anyone interested to take a look at a book called “The Emporer Wears no Clothes” by Jack Herer, it could change the way you think.
