Hemp Biofuels to Save The World
As a previous post discussed, hemp is the term for cannabis that has been breed specifically for a high fiber content, seeds, or for other industrial purposes. The legal distinction in America for what qualifies as hemp is any cannabis plant containing less than 0.3% THC. Recently the Hemp Industries Association, a national hemp lobbying group, issued a press release clarifying their position on what technically can be called hemp.

Hemp Going Legit: Some Wonder if Pot is Far Behind
The federal government is ready to let farmers grow cannabis — at least the kind that can’t get people high. Hemp — marijuana’s non-intoxicating cousin that’s used to make everything from clothing to cooking oil — could soon be cultivated in 10 states under a federal farm bill agreement reached late Monday. Some wonder if the move is an indication that the federal government is ready to follow the 20 states that have already legalized medical marijuana, including two that also [...]

10 x Stronger Than Steel In The 1940′s: Henry Ford’s HEMP Car
When we think of cars we think of gasoline, steel, pollution, etc. Well, maybe you don’t, but that’s what comes to mind for me.

First Hemp Harvest in More Than Fifty Years Begins in Colorado
America’s first (known) hemp harvest in more than fifty years began this month in southeastern Colorado. This past spring, following last year’s passage of Amendment 64, which legalized small amounts of marijuana for adults and paved the way for industrial hemp production, farmer Ryan Loflin planted 55 acres of marijuana’s sober sister. Last week, hemp advocates from across the country came to watch as Loflin and others harvested the first plants by hand. “It felt very historic,” says advocate Lynda Parker. “We [...]

Marijuana: Fight Back With The Facts
I’ve been smoking marijuana for 36 years — since I was 17. Coming of age in Alabama in the 1970s as a cannabis user, I learned one thing very clearly by getting busted for pot five times by the time I was 25 years old: I don’t like the laws against marijuana. They’re dumb, they don’t work, they don’t keep anyone who wants cannabis from getting it, and they destroy people’s lives for no good reason. I decided to fight [...]
