Don’t prejudge based on your opinions on marijuana.
Don’t stereotype people who want to legalize hemp as those who “just want to get stoned all the time.”
Don’t write off centuries of human knowledge just because big business declared industrial hemp “evil” and lumped it in with marijuana to make it illegal in 1937.
The truth is, if you understand the difference between industrial hemp and marijuana, you’ll join millions of people becoming aware that industrial hemp isn’t just some hippy material used to make linen type shirts.
Industrial Hemp is a strain of the cannibus plant that cannot be smoked to get high. It has a many different uses, from clothes to paper to fuel, and is overall better for the environment than cotton farming, corn ethanol production, and tree based paper.
It’s a genuinely “green” building material.
If Obama wanted to truly get outside the box, he would clearly communicate the difference between the two, and legalize the growth of industrial hemp. He would create farming jobs, business opportunities, and investment opportunities overnight.
Of course that would be REAL change. Which would take real balls.
