LEGALIZE HEMP FOR FUEL, CLOTHES, PAPER

US Senators have introduced the first bill to legalize hemp, which is a VERY useful plant, and is NOT a drug. Hemp was made illegal so that we would buy plastic and so we could cut down forests to make paper. Legalizing it seems like a "no-brainer*". 

I have NO idea how the plastics and wood industry conned people into making hemp illegal. I think they said they could not get marijuana convictions unless hemp was made illegal. (Hemp is a plant cousin of marijuana, but you can not use hemp to get high.**.) Modern forensics has removed any problem regarding confusing hemp with marijuana. 

Hemp is extremely promising as a bio fuel. Hemp is extremely easy to grow. Growing hemp does not require pesticides. Hemp makes excellent paper. (Did you know that the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp?) Hemp makes excellent marine rope that biodegrades if lost at sea.

Lets get this bill passed and signed. Just say, "Please legalize hemp."

We can make this happen in time for Spring planting of hemp. Call your US Congressperson NOW!

* No-brainer is slang for a decision that is easy to make because there is NO valid reason not to do the proposed action.

** High is slang for marijuana intoxication.
