HEMP WOULD HELP THE WORLD

Re: World looks to science to solve food crisis
thestar.com, July 5

If the world would just look up the words "industrial hemp" on Google,
it would realize that we could solve the food and fuel problem in a
matter of a few years. Food, fuel, fibre, building materials and
medicine all come from the hemp plant. In fact, the tops go for food
and the stalks go for fuel, so it is like growing two crops in one
field. But using hemp might break Big Oil's stranglehold on all of us,
which is why the media don't talk about it.
