In your opinion, what is the best benefit from the hemp and cannabis plant?

Don't we ever get tired of hearing that we are the only industrialized nation that doesn't do any of a number of sensible, civilized things?
Old news to most of you, but....everyone with any interest in this issue, please educate yourself by doing these four things:
1) Look up the complete encyclopedia of marijuana, “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” by Jack Herer (free online at www.jackherer.com), especially the chapter on the roots of marijuana prohibition (you will be outraged). For some reason it has never been mentioned on any TV documentary that I’ve seen. (Herer spent 17 years of his life doing all the research for you, news guys. Why aren’t you using it?)
2) Look up “Jury Nullification” to be aware of your power as a juror, and don't be afraid to use it if you have the opportunity!
3) Urge your congressperson to support H.R. 1866, the “Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009?. Industrial hemp, a non-psychoactive hardy annual, is a potential raw material for most of America’s paper, fiber, and bio-fuel needs, thereby reducing deforestation and oil dependency while adding billions of dollars to the US economy. Still, the Drug Enforcement Administration insists on classifying hemp as a Schedule I Controlled Substance, prohibiting our farmers from growing it and our scientists from researching it, even though we can legally import it. Passing HR 1866 will correct this mess.
4) Get the facts on the benefits of medical marijuana by logging onto www.mpp.org, get the facts on the progress the rest of the world is making with hemp by logging onto www.votehemp.com

It's obvious to nearly every person interested in our economy that drug prohibition is a failed endeavor. It is time to stop this petty, prideful prosecution of our population and take true control.
