Cannabis Hemp has been used by man for paper, cloth, cordage, rope, medicine,
food, shelter, religion, oil, fuel, heat, and literally thousands of
other purposes. It was cultivated by the Founding Fathers of the
United States. The Constitution of the United States was written on
cannabis paper. Betsy Ross sewed the Country's first Flag with
cannabis cloth. The United States of America was built on cannabis
hemp cultivation. Yet the Federal Government has outlawed cannabis
hemp and does not permit its cultivation. Today Cannabis Hemp has
nearly 200,000 industrial applications. The United States of America
is among the only developed Countries on the planet that has no
industrial hemp production as of 2011.
Henry Ford & Rudolf Diesel Against Petroleum Part 1 & 2
We Could Restore our economy with Cannabis Hemp
with over 250,000 uses today. We could become energy independent.
Henry Ford planned to run his cars
using ethanol made from cannabis. We could eliminate our need for
oil by converting to ethanol made from hemp. Hemp grows on marginal
land and we could keep the best land for food production. Ethanol
made from hemp does not pollute our air or soil. We have numbers of
States with hemp grow laws in place but the laws governing it, both
State and Federal, are so outrageous that no one is growing it. Our
Founding Fathers grew hemp. Our Government would rather lie to us
and let the oil companies control energy and pollute our planet,
than to have a serious debate on using hemp for fuel. It is time to
re-evaluate our energy needs with a serious Political and National
look at ethanol from hemp.
The United States is among the only developed
Countries on the planet that has no industrial hemp production as of
2011. Hemp products consumed in the United States are imported from
other Countries. The DEA considers hemp to be illegal and is
required to issue permits to grow industrial hemp. In the past
decade only a couple permits have been granted, even with State Hemp
Laws in over a dozen States. The DEA in fact spends millions of
tax payer dollars eradicating feral Hemp plants that you could not
get high on if you tried. Hemp is now grown commercially in 31
different countries, including England, France, Spain, Canada and
Australia. Our founding father all grew
cannabis hemp, and our Constitution was written on hemp paper. Our
first flag was made from hemp. Yet the Federal Government of
the United States has refused to change its laws on a plant that has
been cultivated by man for over 12,000 years.
It seems that Henry Fords dream of a hemp car is to become a reality
with the Canadian build Kestrel. Although Henry Ford planned to fuel
his car with ethanol made from hemp, the Kestrel will be an all
green electric car with a price tag of around $25,000. Motive
Industries is sure to set the trends with this.
