Hemp, What do you know?

Industrial Hemp
Hemp Facts from hemp.com

I put on my hemp Merrell shoes and went out to run some errands. The first store I went in to the person looked at my shoes and said "nice shoes, what are they?"
I answered and tossed in the fact they are made out of hemp. The response I got almost knocked me down.
"Oh, I am not into drugs"
I said "Drugs, what do my shoes have to do with drugs?"
She shrugged and said "don't people smoke hemp?"
The conversation really didn't improve after that point but got me thinking about industrial hemp.

If you could tell somebody that you could fix the energy dependence we have in the US, High gas prices, Feed more people, Produce more clothing, make better paint, Make plastics, Make paper without cutting down whole forests, and about a thousand other substantial, beneficial, earth friendly things would you tell them? Why is it that we are so misinformed about things as simple as a plant that can be grown just about anywhere in the US. Many other countries are growing it including Canada, China, Australia, and 30+ others. However, here in the US we have a different stance.
Let take this a different direction for a moment.
If a pit bull is determined to be a more aggressive dog and deemed hazardous to our health and the health of people around them do we make dogs illegal of just make a pit bull illegal( i have nothing against pit bulls).
So with this logic...

The pit bull (marijuana) is deemed bad and the great Dane(hemp) is deemed good for society. Our government makes Canines (Cannabis) illegal to get rid of the pit bull(marijuana) problem rather than addressing the issue in a rational manner.

Misinformation and a genuine unwillingness to accept that the current mindset is taking away from what this country can become. We are supposed to be a country of people with open minds and a drive to improve society as a whole whether it is with technology, crops, knowledge, or whatever.

“Oh, I am not into Drugs.”

Just doesn’t cut it when you are talking about something that can and will eventually change the way the US does business the world over. We can be energy independent, the answer has been around since around 10000 BC and we are choosing not to use it. Frankly, I am frustrated and feel that something needs to be done.
