Simply put, hemp (Cannabis Sativa), marijuana's non-psychoactive cousin, is the most versatile plant on the planet. Almost 30,0000 different products  (from fabric to car bodies, plastic to dynamite) can be made from hemp. Hemp is the best known source for ethanol. Hemp seeds are also the most nutritionally complete foodsource on the planet, containing all the essential amino acids and fatty acids, plus protein to carb ratio, necessary for healthy living. Hemp also requires no irrigation, pesticides, or fertilizer to grow.

Despite all of the above and thousands more applications, hemp remains illegal to grow in the United Stares. This is actually very ironic, considering America's long history with hemp. The Declaration of Independence was written on hemp, the first U.S. flag was made out of hemp, and Thomas Jefferson and George Washington both owned and operated prosperous hemp farms.

 The United States government's current stance on hemp is destructive to our environment, stifling huge economic potential, and supporting international hemp industries instead of our own. These counterproductive policies are based on ignorance and fear, not fact. RonPaulHemp is one of many doing what we can to spread the word on the great potential of hemp: the world's most useful plant.
