 Is Hemp like marijuana, pot,...? PLEASE NOTE: This account will no longer be updated. Visit us at http://www.youtube.com/Co nnectedLife http://connectedlife.wm.w izzard.tv/rss Hemp - Popular Mechanics called it the "the billion dollar crop," that could "produce more than 25,000 products, ranging from dynamite to Cellophane." Jefferson and Washington both grew hemp and it was one of the first crops that Champlain planted at Port Royal. What happened? 'Reefer Madness!' Hemp was outlawed in Canada and the US largely because of a US propaganda campaign led by Lamont Dupont and William Randolph Hearst. They actively tried to discredit hemp production by confusing it with marijuana. Why? They stood to lose billions of dollars if hemp became widely used. As of March 1998 -- under Health Canada's strict science-based regulations -- it became legal to grow hemp commercially in Canada again. Industrial hemp could be used to create everything from cement and fiberboard to paper and fuel. Hemp could relieve pressure on forests and help protect wildlife. With plant heights reaching 15' or more, hemp biomass captures high amounts of carbon from the atmosphere and could even become a factor in addressing issues of planetary climate change though carbon sequestration. Whether its rope, paper, or a t-shirt - we can do almost anything with Hemp... except smoke it. Full show at: http://www.connectedlifet v.com with Dave Chalk and Bradley Shende Connectedlife
