Cannabis Sativa has the longest and strongest fibers in nature. It makes better paper products, fuels, and plastic replacements than trees, corn, or any other easiliy cultivated plant. Henry Ford thought that by now our entire automotive industry would be manufactured and fueled on hemp. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin both grew hemp. Thomas Jefferson was arguably the first hemp activist, and encouraged tobacco farmers to switch to farming hemp. He also liked to write on his back portch while smoking cannabis and enjoying the view. Hemp is a profitable crop even if you don't harvest it because it puts nutrients back into the soil. Is the risk of people smoking cannabis really worth depriving our legitimate economy of what is already the largest cash crop in the United States? They know it. We know it. Why don't we have it?
