I've been thinking about hemp for a couple of weeks...

It bewilders me that there is a crop out there that can be grown with little maintenance...if planted smartly, the plants themselves shade out any chances of weed growth, and there is no use for harmful chemicals and/or pesticides. Why not take advantage of a crop such as hemp.

Hemp can be used to make SO MUCH. Its a substitute for petroleum based products. That means we could use hemp grown in our own country to make textiles and other materials, and that means dependency on foreign oil to only fill our tanks.

When marijuana was banned by the government, hemp unjustly lost its reputation and was banned as well. Industrial hemp is not a drug, nor does it have any potential. Its related to marijuana, but only that.

I'm going to start writing letters to Senator Madigan and my State Representatives. I encourage everyone else to do the same and do your part as well. But dont go into this blindly, look it up, research it, know what you are talking about.

If anyone knows anything about the subject, and has something useful to offer. Please do.

Vaseline is used a lot!! I mean considering that it is unrefined oil...shouldn't we be concerned that we put that crap on our lips? Hemp is so much more safer and non-toxic than petroleum.


Good luck with your quest! I hope you get approved.

I have been reading and accupuncture can help with a lot of things. But stress can sometimes be outside stressors that cannot be treated by accupuncture.
