To The Editor, RE: Hemp On The Comeback

[User]

Here is something to think about: Two farmers each have 100 acres. One farmer grows corn, and the other grows Hemp.

The corn producer will have to use a lot of water, herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and fuel to spread it. When he harvests the corn (IF he harvests, because drought and flood can easily ruin a corn crop), it will go to fuel or food. His soil will be damaged after a few years of this practice, and he may have to let it sit fallow for a few seasons to recover.

The Hemp producer will use less water, less fuel, little to no herbicides, fungicides, or pesticides, and the soil will actually be revived and replenished for the hemp having been there, so he never has to let it go to fallow. Hemp is far more resistant to drought and flood, so he need not worry too much there. He will also produce more fuel than the corn farmer, and on top of that, the Hemp tops go for food while the stalks go for fuel and fibre, so it is like having two crops in one field!

So why are we not growing this crop on every farm in the world? Because it might undermine the government and police's 100 year propaganda campaign against marijuana. It might "send the wrong message" to youth.

I am convince that THIS is the reason that interplanetary aliens - if they exist - are not contacting Earth: we are collectively far too stupid and dangerous to be allowed to participate in galactic policy-making if we cannot even manage something as simple as agriculture.
