too valuable? it comes from a plant that is being mass marketed in 13 U.S states….valuable? no they just sell it for that much because people don’t realize the plant is doing its normal thing…fossil fuel is valuable. i take 1000 clones a day and harvest 300 a week, each could produce as many as 200 seeds per plant if given the right circumstances. this plant has no half life, as long as there is dirt, or even synthetic soil and nutrients the plant lives

This would be a good idea if hemp seed wasn’t the highest quality protein a vegan can consume. Hemp seed meal retails for about $18 per pound. It’s too valuable to use for fuel.

Actually, Rom, the amount of THC in industrial hemp is so low that a person, so inclined, could smoke it all day and all night and not get any kind of high at all…no genetic alteration necessary. The brain dead zombies at the DEA have put out the proposition that growing hemp would somehow aid producers of illegal cannabis sativa and cannabis indica. Being both brain dead and zombiefied, they are, of course, unconcerned with all the positive products that come from hemp, including bio-diesel, paper, fabric, rope, cooking oil, medicines and more. The Canadians, on the other hand, have a more intelligent attitude and more intelligent policies re. hemp. I have one cavil with your post..my sister had cancer and the only pharmaceutical that would quell her post-treatment nausea was cannabis…rolled and smoked…the only pharmaceutical! It’s long past time for dialog, let’s grow the stuff and reap the very real profits.

Scientists love to meddle with the nature of things. If they can make corn that secrets insectacide from it’s leaves, they can remove the drug component from hemp. That would make this plant usable by all who would put it to GOOD use.

The tobacco companies should pull up their tobacco and plant hemp if the ban is lifted.
