excerpt from biblio
Paper made from hemp was used for books, bibles, maps, and money.
You can produce 4 times as much paper from an acre of hemp as you can from an acre of trees at 1/4 the cost, 1/5 the pollution, it is 10 times stronger and lasts up to 1000 years instead of only 50.
And it can be recycled 4 times as many times as paper from wood pulp.
The Constitution was printed on hemp paper as well as the first 3 drafts of the Declaration of Independence.
Even great sailing ships like the U.S.S. Constitution were made primarily out of hemp.
Hemp is the STRONGEST natural fiber on the planet.
Hemp is 26 times stronger than cotton and 10 times longer lasting.
The first Levi jeans were made out of hemp as well as all of the soldier’s clothes for the Revolutionary War.
It requires no chemicals to grow, has very few natural enemies, and grows in the widest variety of climates of any weed or plant.
It is also the FASTEST GROWING plant on the planet, growing 4 times faster than corn.
The seeds from the hemp plant provide the highest source of complete vegetable protein of any food source on earth. Even higher than soybeans.
I find the hemp issue to be enormous. The government was weaponized against the citizens to jail people for growing a green plant, following a propaganda blitz based on fear.
