Hemp is perhaps the answer to most problems in the world. Ambitious, yes.
An exaggeration, no.
If grown extensively, its diverse uses can be of significant value to the
environment, the economy, world hunger, personal health, and so much more.
For the environment, hemp can reduce deforestation, pesticide use, provide a
sustainable bio-fuel, and replace GMO cotton among other benefits. It grows like
a weed without the need for pesticides or heavy fertilizers.
Hemp does just about anything wood can do and it only takes 6 months to renew,
not 20 years. It can be used to make paper, to build homes with, and as fuel
for fire.
Hemp clothing is far more durable than cotton, which is an industry still
operating a form of slavery from cultivation to production. GMO cotton has led
to indentured servitude for Indian farmers where failed crops and debt result
in shockingly high suicide rates. Hemp is simply a better material for
clothing.
The oil in the hemp seed can be made into biodiesel just like
any vegetable oil. Most arguments against biofuels are that their crops take up
too much valuable farm land that should be used for food, and it takes more
energy than it gives back when all things are considered (fertilizer,
pesticides, planting and harvesting machinery, refining).
With hemp, bio-fuel is merely a bi-product of this crop, not it's main use. The
fiber of the plant is still an extremely valuable commodity. Whereas corn
ethanol needs a lot of land with tons of intensive chemicals, and the process
of turning corn into ethanol is then a net energy loss.
As today's economy falters due to a variety of systematic problems, the world
is in desperate need of a new industry. Worldwide hemp legalization and
promotion would lead to a revolution in nearly all major industries.
Entrepreneurs would have a field day with textiles, plastics, body care,
construction, etc.
Industrial hemp's female counterpart, marijuana, provides
effective natural medicine for a number of ailments. Cannabis is one of
mankind's oldest recorded healing plants. As its prohibition lessens, modern
man is only just beginning to discover the exciting medical uses of marijuana,
which are provably vast already.
Cannabis can ease pain, depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, PTSD, arthritis,
and has even been proven to have anti-cancerous properties. When eaten or
vaporized, cannabis is entirely beneficial as a natural alternative because any
unwanted tars are not inhaled. Furthermore,
juicing raw cannabis has many benefits and zero
psychoactive effects.
Hemp alone is powerful enough to be a game changer for the environment and for
human society as a whole. It's time to unleash the hemp seed.
