		<description>Um, hemp is not a &quot;cousin&quot; of marijuana. Marijuana (flowering buds) and hemp (fiber) come from the same plant, cannabis sativa (or indica).



http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=hemp



&quot;Also called Indian hemp, marijuana. A tall, coarse plant, Cannabis sativa, that is native to Asia but naturalized or cultivated in many parts of the world and is the source of a valuable fiber as well as drugs such as marijuana and hashish.&quot;



Don&#039;t forget, marijuana&#039;s just slang term invented to demonize and confuse the public about hemp.



It would have been impossible to make cannabis illegal (back in the 30s) if everyone knew they were just talking about hemp, which was being used for plenty of things, especially during the first World War.



We smoke the flowering buds of the cannabis plant, and we get hemp fiber from the cannabis plant.



Yes, through genetics and strain selection we have cannabis seeds that we grow specifically for recreational purposes, just as we have seeds selected specifically for hemp...



...but they&#039;re not different things.</description>

		<description>I just wanted to point out that this isn&#039;t a new idea, and isn&#039;t all that crazy. Henry Ford himself produced a car in the 1930&#039;s that was built from a combination of hemp and other annual crops and was designed to also run off of hemp. The Ford company even had a secret biomass conversion plant in Michigan to make polymers and other products from what they called &quot;domestic carbohydrates&quot;. The reference for this information is - &quot;The Great Book of Hemp&quot; by Rowan Robinson - 1996. Park Street Press, Rochester, Vermont.



It even has a picture of Henry Ford beating this car with a sledge hammer to show it&#039;s strength.



We could do so many things with such a versatile plant, but much of its illegality and continued prohibition is made possible by oil companies, the police (some may say military) force of our country, and anyone who can profit from the war on drugs. Many other countries use this material for much of their packaging, and its health benefits as a food source are immense.



So many alternatives that many just don&#039;t know exist.</description>

		<description>That&#039;s an interesting use of hemp.  Check out this guys video on turning hemp into power/electricity.  He runs his house, job site, and CAR with his gasifiers.



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04jmr2rua3w&amp;feature=related



Lotus or any car manufacturer could look into powering cars with gasification eliminating the step of turning the energy into a liquid state.  If not, individuals can run their gasifier at home (they come in various sizes and prettiness the video just shows one made out of recycled parts) to charge their electric cars.  There is also a cool gasification social network for people interested in this type of alternative energy at www.VictoryGasworks.com



Love seeing the world turning to green energy.  The oil lords must be starting to worry so they&#039;re lowering their prices lately...huh...</description>
