A World Hempified......and I'm not talking about the kind you smoke... :)~


MARIJUANA AND HEMP
The Untold Story

On an annual basis, 1 acre of hemp will produce as much paper as 2 to 4 acres of trees. From tissue paper to cardboard, all types of paper products can be produced from hemp. Global demand for paper will double within 25 years. Unless tree-free sources of paper are developed, there is no way to meet future demand without causing massive deforestation and environmental damage. Hemp is the world's most promising source of tree-free paper.

You might think this sounds crazy, but I think the Hemp plant can save this planet.....So many of our earth's natural resourses are being depleted for everday items such as paper, wood, clothing, ect...
Now I'm not talking about the marijuana plant which is illegal...I''m talking about the HEMP plant that is so versatile, and has countless uses. But surprisingly is also ILLEGAL.....
Why????????????????????????????....
Because it would put so many "Big Industry" companies out of business...

I keep telling my partner that my 10 yr. goal is to legally own hemp crops in counry that allows it.........
