| Facts About Hemp |
 Fed up with high Gas Prices? Read this! Hemp is an essential crop for the future of America. One problem: It's illegal! 1. The Columbia History of the World states that the oldest relic of human industry is a bit of hemp fabric dating back to approximately 8,000 BC. 2. Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Today they would both be in jail -- ridiculous. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic. 3. Our Constitution and Declaration of Independence are written on paper made from Hemp. 4. Hemp Seed is far more nutritious than soybean, contains more essential fatty acids than any other source, is second only to soybeans in complete protein (but is more digestible by humans), is high in B-vitamins, and is 35% dietary fiber. 5. Hemp Seed DOES NOT CONTAIN THC, the active ingredient in Marijuana. 6. The bark of the hemp stalk contains bast fibers, which are among the Earth's longest natural soft fibers and are also rich in cellulose; Hemp fiber is longer, stronger, more absorbent, and provides better insulation than cotton fiber. Hemp stalk contains NO THC. 7. Hemp grows well without herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides. Almost half of the agricultural chemicals used on U.S. crops are applied to cotton. 8. Hemp produces more pulp per acre than timber on a sustainable basis, and can be used for every quality of paper. Hemp paper manufacturing can reduce waste-water contamination. Hemp's low lignin content reduces the need for acids used in pulping, and it's creamy color lends itself to environmentally friendly bleaching instead of harsh chlorine compounds. Less bleaching results in less dioxin and fewer chemical by-products. Hemp fiber paper resists decomposition, and does not yellow with age when an acid-free process is used. Hemp paper more than 1,500 years old has been found. It can also be recycled more often. 7) Hemp fiberboard produced by Washington State University was found to be twice as strong as wood-based fiberboard. 8)According to the Department of Energy, Hemp as a biomass fuel producer requires the least specialized growing and processing procedures of all hemp products. The hydrocarbons in hemp can be processed into a wide range of biomass energy sources, from fuel pellets to liquid fuels and gas. Development of biofuels could significantly reduce our consumption of fossil fuels and nuclear power. 9) Eco-friendly hemp can replace most toxic petro-chemical products. Research is being done to use hemp in manufacturing biodegradable plastic products: plant-based cellophane, recycled plastic mixed with hemp for injection-molded products, and resins made from the oil, to name just a few examples. 10)The Federal government subsidized hemp during World War II as part of their "Hemp For Victory" Program after Japan overran the Philippines, our only source of fiber. US farmers grew about a million acres of hemp as part of that program.  LEGALIZE HEMP! |
