Hemp can provide fuel, clothing, and housing. Did you know that it's 10x stronger than steel? Henry Ford built a car out of hemp. Until the DuPonts said otherwise.
Lifting the ban is long overdue. The plant has miniscule THC ingredients in it. You'd have a smoke a telephone pole in order to even get a buzz.

In the Cheech and Chong movie “Up in Smoke”, they had a van made of “Fibergrass”.

Acosta should be afraid that hemp rope may be affordable to everyone in the near future.

“Hemp far superior to cotton”
Hemp has been touted as a miracle substance, but it’s waaayyy overhyped, particularly by potheads too stoned to know it won’t get you high. The Ford car made from hemp is a case in point:

Another example was hemp rope. It was stronger than cotton, but it was also prone to rot, and required frequent tarring, which other types of rope did not. Hemp has a lot of uses, but like everything else it’s got both benefits and drawbacks.

Will Rip-Van-Winkle, Keebler Elf, Magoo, Elmer Fudd, etc. Sessions resign in disgust?Actually, Sessions has been pretty consistent in arguing that the answer to laws we don't like is to change them rather than choose not to enforce them.

Hemp has one great industrial use: hemp fiber composites. Almost as strong as carbon fiber composites, but with far lower production cost and lower environmental impact when produced. It may make it possible to dramatically lighten the body weight of an automobile, and that means we rely less of over-sized battery packs for long range per charge.
