Industrial Hemp Farming Act - "HR 3037 would give states the right to regulate farming of versatile hemp plant. Ralph Nader called the US ban on hemp farming, "bureaucratic medievalism" because over 30 industrialized countries are growing hemp and the U.S. is the number one importer of the crop. Twenty-six states have introduced hemp legislation. Industrial hemp is used in a tremendous variety of products, including food products, soap, cosmetics, fertilizer, textiles, paper, paints and plastics."

What about Hempoline?
"It would only take 6% of our U.S. land to produce enough hemp, for hemp fuel, to make us energy independent from the rest of the world."
That sounds too good to be true.
Hemp4Fuel.com challenges you to prove them wrong about hemp being the world's #1 sustainable fuel and energy source.
"There is only 1 known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same 1 that has done it before... CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA!"
Maybe that's why hemp farming is illegal in the U.S. It makes too much sense. And it might hurt the profits of certain companies.

As I understand it, there are problems with the vehicles exhaust byproducts.
Therefore, all hempoline fueling stations will have to be built adjacent to mini marts...
(I couldn't resist) :-)
