What if #10

What if we were able to use hemp to make everyday products?

The only reason hemp is not allowed to be used is because it is made from marijuana plants. Honestly, there are numerous uses for the hemp plant besides drug use. Most if not all of the uses would greatly improve our lifestyle and help the enviornment. It is a soft durable fiber that can last much longer than regular paper made from trees. Hemp paper does not need chlorine bleach, which pollutes rivers and kills fish and other aquatic life. Hemp paper is also stronger and longer lasting. Hemp can be used as a high amino acid and other essential fatty acid food. Hemp has more nutritional value than even soybeans.
Hemp is a possible alternative for petroleum fuel because it can be made into a non toxic diesel fuel. Many clothing, textiles, paints, and cleaners can be made and used from the hemp plant all of which are higher quality than the kind we use now. Apparently, 1 acre of hemp is equal to 4.1 acres of trees. I am no tree hugger or anything, but I cant find a reason as to why it would be bad to save trees and cut down hemp for use instead. The legalization of hemp production would greatly help our economy and our enviornment.
