I agree there are plenty of other uses, but it would be silly to stop cutting trees!

Hemp is one of the easiest crops to grow, and one of the most efficient as well. How long does it take a grow a tree? That's not what they do, our paper doesn't come from tree farms, it comes from forests. You can grow massive hemp fields year after year, and it's one of the few crops that actually makes the soil more fertile every year.
It was outlawed shortly after dupont invented plastic, banks and corporations controlled the government back then just as they do today. The US pressured a lot of other countries to do the same. Imagine how much better the world would be if all the plastic products we use and throw away were made of completely biodegradable hemp. It would cut our landfills down by 3/4, and that's just the first benefit. Amazingly some people don't realize that plastic is made from oil, I guess they think it comes from a plastic tree.
The fact that marijuana prohibition has been allowed to last for so long proves just how weak and stupid we the people really are.
