255. It wold be a boon to our economy, our environment, and our health

Anything that is made with petroleum can be made, far less expensively, with hemp oil. Hemp fibers are far superior to their petroleum counterparts. 100% of the hemp plant is useful, no manufacturing waste to dispose of, and the by-products are much less toxic.

Henry Ford built a car in 1941 that was almost entirely made with hemp plastic and was fueled by a hemp diesel engine. It was in Popular Mechanics.
