What law or act makes industrial hemp illegal in the United States?
Q. What specific law is it in The United States what makes Industrial hemp, the kind that does not contain THC, illegal on the federal level? I mean growing it, not buying. Thanks for the law name. I'm sure they could tax it because not everyone is going to put the time into growing it in their home. and it can pretty much be made into anything. Also the government made illegal because corporations got more power, and Nixon wanted a reason to arrest Vietnam protesters.

A. the fda said that hemp is a controlled substance so they passed Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in 1970. its all about power, money, and greed. The government cant tax weed so they made it illegal. if they cared, which i know they don't, they would see that we could use hemp seed oil as a gas to run vehicles from!

What if Industrial hemp was legalized?
Q. I am doing a school project on legalization of industrial hemp in the US. I need a survey of peoples thoughts on this topic. It would be appreciated if i had some thoughts from other people on this.

A. I'm all for it. It has many, many uses, and is an easy crop to grow. And many other countries have legalized it. The big problem is educating people about it. People associate "hemp" with "marijuana", which they see as a drug. Industrial hemp, though, contains very little THC (the intoxicating substance in marijuana). Sure, people can smoke it, but it would be like drinking near beer to get drunk.

Why is industrial hemp still illegal, despite it's benefits? And why aren't people angry about this?
Q. This question isn't necessarily concerned with medical or recreational marijuana; the environmental benefits of industrial hemp are what I am concerned about. They are related, of course, so naturally I expect to receive responses concerning these two facets of Cannabis as well.

A. it's all about politics and money. before the 30's, most paper in the US was made of hemp. the declaration of independence, columbus's maps and sails, all made of hemp fiber. then the tree companies and chemical companies developed a way to make paper from trees, using chemicals, and back then corporations controlled the government, kinda like they do now, so hemp was made illegal. hemp grows so well that it would be difficult to make money from it, anyone could grow it. making paper from trees is a complicated, chemical-heavy process that is difficult to duplicate. it's really all about the money.

Do you think Industrial Hemp should be legal in the USA?
Q. After all we import hundreds of millions of dollars worth of hemp products like tshirts, soaps, rope, and car parts. But it is illegal to grow in the US currently.

A. Absolutely. Hemp is a fabulous crop for paper (far more paper per acre of hemp than fromwood pulp, less toxic to make); fiber and textiles; oil for fuel, plastics, paints, and solvents; food (that doesn't get anybody high); and methane from the rapid-growing biomass. Those reasons are actually why it was prohibited in the first place. Check out the history:

A. Of course, man, why the hell shouldn't we? You obviously know about the history and the benefits of industrial hemp. Actually, you can't get high from industrial hemp. Different species. I mean, industrial hemp! Why shouldn't we? Strongest natural fiber. Stays white for longer. Many uses. Food. Easy to grow. Cooking oils. Bio fuel. Saves forests.

Making paper- way faster to grow than trees, it can be used in place of plastic and would be completely environmentally friendly. A lot of foods can be made from it, it's full of protein and has unique oils that lower cholesterol. Clothes made from hemp last a century and are very strong.

What are the negatives of Industrial Hemp?
Q. I'm trying to find out more information about the plant I know all the positives and how much it can do, but I also know it is in the same family as pot. However, I heard that the industrial hemp is a different variation in which you cannot get high off of. So I just want to here any other negatives before I decide on this matter. Well Britbrit apparently hemp can do many things like make paper and other countless products, but I'm not exactly sure with it so I'm gaining more info to make an educated conclusion unlike you have apparently. But I am curious why do you believe it is negative?

A. It is true that one cannot get high from industrial hemp. The "concern" that the federal government has is that farmers will hide pot cannabis into the hemp crops. The negatives are the same as any crop that is grown using industrialized agriculture; soil nutrient depletion, soil erosion, water consumption, fossil fuel consumption, destruction of biodiversity, use of pesticides and inorganic fertilizers and their runoff, and increase in pest populations. From an economical standpoint, hemp would damage the cotton and paper industries because hemp surpasses these two materials in both fields. Lobbyists are a real pain in the butt sometimes.

How can I get approval to write a paper on industrial hemp?
Q. For those of you who do not know, hemp is NOT marijuana. It has many industrial uses such as paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, and fuel. Anyway, I want to write a paper on industrial hemp and Americans for my sociology class, but I need pre-approval from my professor. When I submitted my idea for approval she had this to say, Sounds interesting but tell me how you will relate it to it impacting Americans from a sociological perspective. How should I respond to her? I was thinking about saying something about social change and modernization. Any ideas? p.s. the assignment is to write a paper examining the impact of a current social problem on a particular social group.

A. Your particular social group could be rural farmers. We import so many items and it has really affected farmers. Now living in the city, I come from a small rural Kentucky town. Many of the farmers made their living from selling tobacco. I've seen so many families lose their lands to higher tobacco taxes, the decline in tobacco use, and the increase in the standard of living. This is just one example (and no, I'm not promoting tobacco). Farmers from all over the country are losing their livlihood. With all of the things that can be produced by hemp, farmers can regain their lives and make a decent living once again and more jobs would be created. The problem with that idea, however, is that American companies are notorious for… [cont.]
