Hippy Gov vs Trump Administration

[cadaverdog]

Remember that Cheeto's choice for attorney general is so anti-cannabis that it was the ONLY thing that made him quit the KKK, because "good people don't smoke marryjewanna!!"

And Sessions would definitely be the type who wouldn't know the difference between a plain old industrial Hemp plant, and the "cousin" plants which produce buds.

Ironically though, if Rex Tillerson thought EXXON could make a few billion dollars a month from hemp based fuels, he might be able to talk Cheeto into lifting the ridiculous ban. Irony there being that the oil industry was just one of the corporate interests who pushed the ban in the first place. (At the time Henry Ford - no relation - was talking about running his cars on hemp fuel and even building car bodies from hemp fiber. Meanwhile, over in Germany Karl Benz wanted to make diesel fuel from peanuts. Big oil companies at the time - mostly the Rockefellers & Standard Oil - weren't happy about that competition.)

You wasted all those words saying the same thing I said. We'll have to wait and see.

We'll just have to wait and see what the new administration does or doesn't do as far as hemp goes here.

"Business is booming for Canada’s hemp industry, but industry experts say it could be on the cusp of even bigger things."

Hey - I ain't coming for your weed, lol. But seriously - if hemp was so awesome then somebody would be making money off it.

You do know the difference between pot for smoking and hemp, right? It's a big, growing (pun) industry here.

Hemp Is the New Tobacco as Kentucky Bets on Weed’s Cousin

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-12-22/hemp-is-the-new-tobacco-as-kentucky-farmers-bet-on-weed-s-cousin

It looks like pot. It smells like pot. But it’s hemp, marijuana’s legal cousin, and it’s taking over the Bluegrass state.

Across the rolling hills of Kentucky, which just two decades ago was the most tobacco-dependent state in the country, farmers are planting less of the crop after growing health concerns shrunk demand. Instead, they’re increasingly turning to hemp and have more than doubled sowings of the cannabis variety in 2016 to become the No. 2 producer in the U.S., trailing Colorado.

Hemp helped us win WWII. Hemp is a multi billion dollars a year crop all over the world. Laws here keep farmers weary of growing it but they still do. Mitsubishi uses hemp. Big money in hemp.

Because you don't smoke you couldn't possibly comprehend how hilarious that might be to a person like myself who just took a couple hits of some bad ass American grown ganja.

Hemp: The magic weed that can solve every problem on earth yet nobody in any country has ever found a way to make money off it aside from selling Hippie necklaces. How come Holland isn't the hemp/alternative fuel capitol of the planet? Why isn't Jamaica cranking out a couple million barrels of hemp oil a day? Supposedly it's more efficient than petroleum so why hasn't some entrepreneur somewhere outside the US (cause I know you're gonna throw that up) built a giant hemp farm and refined the living shit out of it and made a viable fuel that we can all shove in our cars? Wait - I know the answer. Big oil and the BCE kill off every guy or gal who figured out how to do it. Bull Shit. The truth is hemp ain't worth a damn compared to oil. Big Oil companies don't give a damn what you burn in your car, so long as they sell it to you. Gas, diesel, hemp, stupidity - they don't care so long as they get paid and hemp ain't paying the bills. Theoretical mumbo jumbo is fine for the interwebz but if hemp was the savior Hippies make it out to be then we'd all be filling up with it.

The sand pits of real oil are almost gone, and the environmental costs of fracking the shale beds and tar sands for that dirty goo, in order to convert it to "oil" are far too high of a risk for such a pitifully small "reward".

I agree with the second part about fracking but there are too many places that haven't been explored on this planet to assume it's almost gone. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't continue working on alternate sources of energy that aren't as harmful to the environment as petroleum based fuel.

And even the "petroleum based" vehicles could run on fuels made from a sustainable resource, like Hemp. The sand pits of real oil are almost gone, and the environmental costs of fracking the shale beds and tar sands for that dirty goo, in order to convert it to "oil" are far too high of a risk for such a pitifully small "reward".
