I was turned off by the unbusiness-like appearance of what I've seen so far

That's because business and science are not promoting it. Farmers and mechanics are and they aren't as skilled in public relations as the corps...who don't want the competition from hemp. How many professionals would risk being labeled a "loserdopian" if they promoted hemp?

Henry Ford designed his Model T to run on hemp seed oil. Farmers during the depression ran their farm equipment on hemp seed oil because they couldn't afford petroleum.

The process to turn hemp seed oil into fuel is so simple it can be done at home. There's no commercial support for a low tech fuel. Refineries would lose business as farmers produced fuel on the farm.

Granted I've only been reading up on it for a week, but I've read a ton and there sure seems to be a lot of support for it these days.

Somebody must know how to mount a tasteful WWW argument for hemp products.

Hasn't Canada legalized the cultivation of hemp? Does that mean Canada doesn't think hemp products will interfere with other commercial entities like the paper companies and fuel suppliers?
