We'll need to plant and grow hemp.

Did you know that before 1937 every farmer in the US was forced by law to grow a certain amount of hemp?
It produces about 4 times as much fibers every year as the same amount of wood in about 30 years.

You can make clothes that feel soft like silk and last 5 times as long as cotton without the polution cotton causes.
You can make paper out of it that is whiter and stronger than any wood produces.
The oil from hemp cures cancer, erases scars from old wounds and cures many other diseases.

From the oil of the hempseeds you can produce plastics and biofuel for engines.
Did you know that the worldfamous T-ford was partly made from plastic produced from hempseed-oil?
That it ran on hempseed-oil?
That these plastics were stronger than steel and biologically degradeble and recycleble?

Hemp doesn't exhaust the soil, on the contrary: You can use the soil year after year and it gets better and better.

Now why isn't hemp used anymore?

In 1937 Dupont invented plastics made out of earth-oil.
The petro-chemical industry had to get rid of its greatest rival: Hemp.
So they renamed it into Marihuana, started a huge propaganda-campaign that it was the youth's worst enemy and lobbied untill there was a law that forbade the growth and use of Marihuana.

Only after this law was passed people discovered that Marihuana actually was hemp and that a huge source of good things was stolen away from them because of the greed of a few.
Where or when have I heard this story before? Or after?

Actually in one campaign it was said that Marihuana made the youth passive so they would fall asleep and that it was the biggest enemy of the "American dream" and in another campaign it was stated that it was supposed to make the youth very agressive and that it would lead to total chaos and war.....

One thing is sure:
If the same amount of hemp was grown in the USA as it was before 1937 all the fuel-, health- and environmental problems would be solved within a year.

No rainforest was needed anymore, no need anymore for expensive chemical medicines.

But that would give us another problem wouldn't it?
