If you would more rantables regarding the legalization of Marijuana -
Here is some information on industrial hemp and all that it could
contribute to the welfare of the world.

After reading the Wiki article just imagine if we were to grow enough
hemp to really help out in the fuel area and considering that it could
be grown in all the unproductive areas that other plants consider
hostile as well as a fallow year crop in productive areas, just imagine
how much of the high protein seed cake would be left over from the oil
squeezing - world hunger would be pretty much solved.

We would no longer be getting fuel from a food crop - but food would be
a by-product of the fuel production...
