INDUSTRIAL HEMP by Tom Lineaweaver Article: Like Founding Flags, Capitol’s Flag on July 4 to Be Made of Hemp
According to above article, the first American flags were made of industrial hemp.
I have been in favor of industrial hemp for some time. It would boost our sagging economy. Help the family farm. I see no good reason why Congress will not repeal laws preventing a hemp industry. The only reason I can think of is big oil. You see hemp can be used to make fuel. Fuel that can run our cars, and heat our homes. It would give big oil something they really need, competition. And it would give Americans something they really need, jobs. Obviously, from the report above, hemp can be used to make cloth, that can make clothing, and durable clothing as well. They made the first American flags from hemp.
Our first President grew hemp... Article: George Washington Grew Hemp So, why can't we grow industrial hemp today?
Would you like to see a hemp industry in the United States? Elect a President that will work for that.
