I put Hemp on My Tacos...
I find it frustrating when people simply dont know there is a difference between pot and hemp. You could smoke a pound of it and get nothing but a headache for your trouble. I get tired of explaining the same thing over and over.
I think hemp has great potential as a cash crop that can ease the cost of land ownership. So many uses. Better than trees for paper. Takes less harmful chemicals to make which eases business costs and you get a crop in 6-8 weeks as opposed to 15 years for pine trees. Makes great insulation. Really great building material (hempcrete). High protein food source. Rope, cloth, etc. I think its gonna be a big thing once the stigma dies and industry realizes the income stream available enough to invest into finding the best uses in a multitude of industries.
But everytime its mentioned you can expect nothing but scorn and the automatic assumption you're a dope smoking hippie with a prius covered in coexist stickers. Personally, if I owned a good chunk of land I'd be excited about a way to help defray the carrying costs. Pine tree farms, tax breaks, hunting leases, and leasing fields to farmers doesnt really make ends meet and you still have to come out of pocket to own land these days.
