FACT: Industrial Hemp contains less than 1% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Thus, the seeds and stalks of the hemp plant are NOT psychoactive and CANNOT be used as a drug.
FACT: For more than a century, HEMP was used as legal tender to pay American taxes.
FACT: In the 1930's, when machinery to develop hemp fibers into paper was becoming state-of-the art, industrial barons from the timber, newspaper, petroleum (this incl. paints, plastics, pesticides...) industries began a campaign to have hemp outlawed. "They" misinformed the public that hemp was the same as marijuana and, also used bigotry, hysteria and lies to convince the public and politicians that marijuana was the cause of violent crimes (a.k.a "Reefer Madness").
FACT!!! ANYTHING made from petroleum CAN BE MADE FROM HEMP!
