The cabal hates hemp; Henry Ford already tried.

They made hemp illegal to help grow the plastics industry and provide more uses for petroleum.

Plus there were a lot of virulently racist media elites who scared the hell out of the nation with fake news about Negroes smoking weed and then going on rape binges. The media has been lying to us and dividing us for a long time, folks.

I like the idea, but I'm afraid petroleum is cheaper.

Maybe not if pollution is priced into the product?

What about agricultural pollution? Will that be priced into the cost of hemp?

Why not, just make it scale according to the damage each does. Pretty sure hemp is lower on the agri pollution scale than some of the stuff we're growing. Plus if it is priced in then maybe that would encourage cleaner growing, which is totally possible and would be feasible if there is a price to pay for doing it the old way.
