"ec'o-lu-tion" = 1. a revolution in technology which will
replace toxic petro-chemicals with eco-friendly materials like
hemp. 2. the necessary process of humanity's reconnecting to
a life in balance with the planet."

Okay, jp, this site is just great!! The statement is made that EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE MADE FROM OIL AND WOOD CAN BE MADE FROM HEMP, and discusses the usual suspects--robber barons who controlled much of America--as putting the kabosh on growing hemp, because it cut into their profit margins. This is the conspiracy I remember.

Even Father Terrence advocates hemp, and he is not an environmentalist. I suspect that there is an issue of education here, but that the usefulness of hemp might be something a lot of people could agree on!!

I hope some people on this thread enjoy the url you provided, and have some comments, especially the scientific types who counter-balance my bleeding heart . . . libertarianism!!!

Thanks a lot, jp!!!
