World hunger, burning fossil fuels, cutting down every existing tree for supplies, and the United States unbelievable debt. These are all things that we have been a constant worry in our lives. The sad part? We can fix all of it with one thing, Hemp. Hemp is a material made from the same plant marijuana comes from. It's a thin string like material that can be used for a vast amount of things. I won't list everything it can be used for, but I'd like to bring the point up that rich people will do anything to stay rich. It's our sad society. Hemp can be used to produce paper, it's stronger and more durable than cotton which allows it to be a perfect material for clothing. The United States used Hemp as a cash crop. It was actually making more money than gold was back then, Hemp was called the 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; even the United States founding fathers grew hemp. In fact, back then, it was ILLEGAL to not grow hemp, which shows how important it really was. Hemp was used to make Henry Ford's first automobiles, as was the gasoline used for it. Not only was the material more reliable but the gasoline for it created little to no air contamination . Hemp cultivation and production does not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp as wood with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. . . Even more amazing is that WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming hemp seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. These are just a few of the many things that Hemp could make available to us, and the whole point of this long ass paragraph; HEMP IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!
