The reason marijuana is illegal has very little to do with drugs, and is really about money and the continued centralization of economic and political control. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical industry made up the "reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using racist propaganda, calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal. There is a truth that must be heard! That's what the Hempstalk Festival is all about.
We believe that the main reason hemp is illegal today is because of biodiesel's potential. The first diesel engines (by Rudolph Diesel in 1894) were invented to run on hempseed oil; petroleum wasn't synthesized to mimic hempseed oil for over a decade. Therefore hempseed oil was the primary fuel for automobiles for over 30 years after the invention of the first internal combustion engine.
Entry into the biodiesel market has very low capital entry requirements and is, therefore, not centralized. Among the benefits of using biodiesel:
- Start an economic boom!
- Use vegetable seed oil (biodiesel)
- Run any diesel engine with no engine conversion at all
- Make biodiesel from hemp, soybean, rapeseed/canola and safflower seed oil
- Save family farms
- Return economic control to the people!
- Naturally decentralize wealth
- Stop global warming
- Stop A lot of toxic pollution
- Create a useful byproduct: food
Petroleum is Out of Balance; Biodiesel is Sustainable and In Balance.
In comparison, petroleum is capital intensive and, therefore, centralized. To maintain market share, the petroleum industries wanted to prohibit hemp.

General
Cannabis sativa is the oldest and most resourceful crop sown. In fact, sativa means "useful" in Latin. Industrial hemp could supply most of mankind's fuel, fiber and food needs and will be the agent of transformation for our economy away from many toxic petrochemical products to nontoxic, agriculturally based alternatives.
Industrial Hemp is Legal in many countries throughout Europe and Asia, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and China (where it was never prohibited).
"Over 25,000 products can be manufactured from hemp, from cellophane to dynamite." Popular Mechanics, 1938
Henry Ford built a plastic car made of fiber from hemp and wheat straw in 1941Television
