Hemp produces more biomass than any plant that can be grown in the U.S. This biomass can be converted to fuel in the form of clean-burning alcohol, or no-sulphur man-made coal. Hemp has more potential as a clean and renewable energy source than any crop on earth! It is estimated that if hemp was widely grown in the U.S. for fuel/energy, it could supply 100% of all U.S. energy needs!

maybe we should all ask our elected officials why hemp is illegal!
 
Um, hemp is not illegal. Marijuana is, but hemp (cannabis bred with virtually 0 THC) is not. Hugs, not drugs, dude.
 
The argument for using hemp as a fuel source is just another way to argue against the drug war. But that battle should be fought more directly. Fabricating non-sense about hemp as the savior to all our needs is ridiculous.
The truth is that while hemp can be used for fuel it is NOT the best source of biomass fuel. It could not supply even a few percent of the US energy needs for a variety of reasons. It's doubtful any biomass fuel source do achieve that. There are grasses and algae that are better.
Hemp is legal. Marijuana isn't.
Marijuana should be legal because it's a plant. And people should be allowed to do whatever they want to with it.
