Yes. And industrial hemp has many other uses as well. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuyI think the closest equivalent is ethanol....how's that going so far?
You're deflecting, drluv1. Adams, Jefferson and Madison did live in the REAL WORLD, drluv1, and the U.S.'s primary trade was not in Tripolitania, and the U.S. wasn't trading in "oil". That's just like how in the "here and now" the MS Achille Lauro wasn't trading in "oil" and Pan AM 103 wasn't trading in "oil" and the MV Maersk Alabama wasn't trading in "oil" and most of those 3,000 who were murdered on 9/11 weren't trading in "oil". In the REAL WORLD, drluv1, smart people aren't all hazy and myopic like you, and they understand that there is real evil in the world, and they understand that most evil is not predicated on "oil", drluv1. And, unlike you drluv1, smart people know to make an effort to keep evil at a distance so as to protect their families and friends. Originally Posted by I B HankeringHUH?

I think the closest equivalent is ethanol....how's that going so far?Yes, the Yucatan that bastion of inovation. Given the the US government onerous regulation on hemp, it's already the leading cash crop, I think any judgements on the possible uses hemp are premature.
The industrial hemp industry has been around for a long time in the Yucatan, and if it were viable, it would be used. There are many better alternatives.
Ford tried it in the 1940's! If you can beat it with a hammer and it doesn't dent, and it stayed that way, it would be an unbeatable material - there must be a catch.

Originally Posted by drluv1Do you stupidly imagine that oil is the only commodity on the market in the Middle East, drluv1? U.S. companies export billions of dollars worth of goods and services to that region, drluv1. Furthermore, the experiences of Adams, Jefferson and Madison exemplify that discord in that region existed without "oil" being the excuse for hostility, drluv1, and that hasn't changed. These people don't like YOU, drluv1, and YOUR "liberal, secular lifestyle".
"Since their rise in the late 1990s, the Taliban andFYI, only a "Neanderthal" would stupidly and myopically believe that all evil is predicated on "oil", drluv1. And, BTW, only a Neanderthal would misspell "Neanderthal", drluv1.
like-minded groups in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border
region have launched an aggressive campaign against
liberal ways of life, bombing music shops, destroying
schools, and murdering musicians, singers, and female
dancers."

Islamist political party, police burn Pashto CDs, video
tapes, and magazines in Peshawar's Jinnah Park in 2003.

OK, new mod dude.
marijuana is legal in more than 1/3 of this county in one form or another.
In Colorado and Washington, it's legal period.
How is discussion about hemp, or any other cannabis, against the antiquated rules of ECCIE? Originally Posted by Yssup Rider

Had you done so, you would have noticed there were quotation marks on both sides of "neandrethol". Meaning I spelled the word exactly the way it was spelled in the quoted material I had taken it from. Thus the quotation marks! Duh! (See above quotes).
