The environmental benefits of the plant Cannabis sativa L., hemp, will be found in the many rooms of the U.S.A. Hemp Museum, but the importance of these benefits suggest we give them a room of their own. We live on a small planet, shared by more than six billion humans and more than two million other species. What we do as humans profoundly affects the quality of life for all these living beings. From the start of agriculture, the village and civilization maybe only 15,000 years ago, people have learned to control their environment and were able to reproduce far beyond the natural order that had existed for millions, maybe billions of years. Anyone who believes that the human population can not lay waste the planet earth has not taken a serious look at our handiwork, or at the billions of people in need of food and resources. We need to buy time to turn the situation around. The heroes of today and tomorrow on the earth will be those who forgo being parents for the good of the planet, our common home.
Hemp will help. Hemp can bring us back closer to the renewable and sustainable resources we started with as humans. Hemp helps the soil. Field hemp, sown close, sends a strong tap root into the subsoil where it finds and feeds on new deposits of minerals and pulls them up into the topsoil roots and plant.

This is the ecological truth: The sooner we act to end our synthetic society the less damage to earth. We Americans - 5% of the world population - in our drive for more "net worth" and "productivity" use 25% to 40% of the world's energy. As a country, we have been horribly deceived for the past 54 years. Long enough. Never again. The repression of information about hemp has cost the U.S. about 80% of our petroleum reserves by the year 2000. Add to that the 70% of our forests that did not have to be cut down for making paper. Add to that too many family farms gone. Add to that the 50,000 Americans and the 10,000 Canadians killed annually by acid rain from burning high-sulfur coal.

The world struggle for money is actually a struggle for energy, as it is through energy that we may produce food, shelter, transportation and entertainment. As we have seen with the Bush Administration, it is this struggle which often erupts into open war. Ultimately, whether from too much pollution, too many wars, too high a price, the world has no other rational environmental choice but to give up fossil fuels.

Because of the second prohibition that surrounds Cannabis hemp/marijuana, we are not told the truth even by our own U.S. Environmental Protection Agency scientists. Hemp is the home grown, annually renewable, CHEAPEST source of energy.

The February 1938 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine heralded hemp as the "new billion-dollar crop," saying it had 25,000 uses. Today, it is a base element for textiles, paper, construction materials, car parts, food and body care products.

Thanks for posting these articles, Scott. People need to know that hemp is actually quite beneficial on so many levels.

I never understood why hemp was made illegal. I always use to look down upon it because it was illegal. Have seen people get into trouble because of it. I am starting to feel it makes no sense.

A woman who is the hair dresser of my mom was arrested and put into jail for having just a little bit of weed that she had picked up for her boyfriend of 20 years. He was dying of cancer and in pain. She went to jail for 6 months! During that time her boyfriend died and she was not at his side. She was not even allowed to go to the funeral. That is a tragedy!
