Here's why: Paper pulp from wood: can only be recycled 4 times takes 5-500 years to grow. Paper pulp from hemp: Can be recycled 7 times takes 100 days to grow Oil concentrates from hemp: Can make a standard (diesel) VW engine get 80mpg with comparable acceleration rates, and a mere fraction of 1% of the emissions of the current gas-burning water cooled engines most commonly used today. So why is hemp illegal? #1) FEAR #2) GREED #3) CORRUPTION (maybe not in that order) But really, we cannot believe anyhting on this is even being considered toward complete leagalization and regulation until we eliminate the fear, greed, and corruption in our Imperialistic, Totolitarian, and Fascist government. In response to weedtokr, dimebag420-

dimebag420 - you hit the nail on the head - GREED.
Here’s why:
Paper pulp from wood:
can only be recycled 4 times
takes 5-500 years to grow.
Paper pulp from hemp:
Can be recycled 7 times
takes 100 days to grow

Oil concentrates from hemp:
Can make a standard (diesel) VW engine get 80mpg with comparable acceleration rates, and a mere fraction of 1% of the emissions of the current gas-burning water cooled engines most commonly used today.

So why is hemp illegal?
#1) FEAR
#2) GREED
#3) CORRUPTION
(maybe not in that order)

But really, we cannot believe anyhting on this is even being considered toward complete leagalization and regulation until we eliminate the fear, greed, and corruption in our Imperialistic, Totolitarian, and Fascist government.

LOLOLOLoLOLOLOL.... I think I have some dandylions in my back yard that get me higher than hemp lololololol.... Mccain is such a joke, Palin even more! lolololol..... At least Obama is smart enough to tell the difference between spending billions on pulling weeds, arresting freedom loving americans, and spending billions on renewable energy, and helping americans have health insurance... At least I hope soo lolololol.... They would rather demolish an entire rainforest, or a beautiful pine forest for paper, just so the stubborn, brainwashed, corupted, gov't officials can say there right.... I don't know whats gona happen to america if another Conservative Republican becomes president, I"m scared to death tell you the truth...... If they can't tell the difference between a safe plant and black tar heroin, well then, we have more problems than I can even try to think of..... "God Bless the Real America," its been disappering quickly and like PALIN SAID "One day we'll be looking back and telling our grandkids about a free country called America that existed back in the days." I totally agree with you Palin, keep believing that bush is a great guy, keep believing that conservative republicans who wreck havoc on free america are doing the right thing.... You are gona have a lot of grandkids to tell your story too!!! America, “Land of the Free!?” LOLOLOLoLOLOLOL….

Not only could many jobs be created harvesting, tending, and making clothes out of hemp... Think of ALL the possibilities if it were legal. Coffee shops, paraphernalia, food with THC in it. With a federal debt over $3 trillion why isn't the government taking steps to pay it off. You could even tax the plant. For shame. This is an addition to Jon’s post.

This waste of taxpayer dollars is an outrage, and these real criminals the police and the dea need to be stopped. Its all about the money, they dont care about peoples health, if they did, everything, like cigarettes and alcohol would be illegal. Its all about the money, as one commenter said, greed and corruption. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE REALIZED THIS PIGS AND IT WILL NOT STAND. REVOLT MARIJUANA PROHIBITION FOR OUR FREEDOM RIGHTS AND FOR OUR CHILDRENS AND THEIR CHILDREN, who could be greatly benefitting from this extremely useful and amazing plant. GENESIS 1:11-13;29-31.READ IT LEST YOU FIGHT AGAINST GOD!!

Everybody who does consume fair amounts of marijuana knows that this "ditchweed" is another term for "weed nobody wants to buy" hahaha. haha the DEA are such funny animals. I find it very sad however that our 'free' government still refuses to stop prohibition. Millions if not billions of jobs could be created harvesting, tending to plants, and making marijuana cigarettes. Not only that but we could use to make shoes out of hemp, clothes, even alternative sources of fuel!!! I am the ONLY person who realizes this?? WAKE THE F UP WASHINGTON AND STOP WASTING MY SHITTY PAY ON SOMETHING AS REDICULOUS AS PUTTING A FATHER OR SON IN JAIL BECAUSE HE WAS AT HOME ON HIS COUCH (NOT HURTING ANYBODY) WATCHING TV WHILE SMOKING A JOINT. GET WITH THE PROGRAM DAMMIT. Haha this is interesting.

Just think of all the HUGE timber company's that help fund political parties every year. Where would they be if a small town farmer could duplicate their waste of mother nature in an eco-friendly way on a few acres as opposed to raping miles of virgin forest. They would all go bankrupt! Also think of all the cotton farmers, textile corp., and plastic manufactuerers that would lose money on their high end products that cost so much to make.Not to mention the Huge Drug companies and Oil companies.GREED keeps our beloved plant illegal.So stay pure, smoke above the influence and plant the land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
