Do you understand everything that can be made from hemp? Or for that matter that we kinda put the hemp industry out of business so Dupont could sell nylon?
Beside oil hemp makes excellent clothing, excellent paper when pulped for that along with rope. And hemp oil can be used for bio diesel. In fact hemp can produce more oil for BIO per acre than Soybeans. So you can do a lot more with it than make some cure all ointment.
When Dupont and some other wealthy individuals who had invested in forest land lobbied our politicians of that day they demonized marijuana. Dupont like I said because they had invented nylon and the (mostly newspaper owners) folks who bought land with the plan on harvesting those forests to turn into pulp for paper lobbied the halls of congress. It was so bad that when WWII broke out the government had to issue permits to grow hemp because the Navy had to have ropes for boarding nets and mooring that didn't stretch like nylon did and they quickly ran out of rope.
And of course the cotton growers were against it as well as the wool producers too.
Kinda interesting what can be done with hemp. When I first heard that farmers in some places were pushing to legalize raising hemp I looked into it. Not to grow it but just because I was interested. I quickly changed my mind about the validity of growing hemp.
This is kinda like the "free range/cage free/grass fed ECT, ECT" movement. Yea, started as a fad. Then it moved into a niche market and now it's becoming more mainstream every day.
Who knows. The hemp thing may very well fail. But then again it may be an up and coming thing. By the way, hows that GMO corn bean thing working out?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
