Hemp is an extremely important plant for our future. It can reduce deforestation, replace plastics, and even be used as fuel. Founding fathers knew the power of hemp and even our Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper. If you are thinking that hemp is just another word for weed you are wrong. Hemp contains extremely trace amounts of THC and people cannot get high off of it. Hemp is one of the many keys to reversing the damage we have inflicted on our environment. A hemp plant can mature in 100 days and be harvested for paper production unlike the years it takes trees to grow. It also requires little land and no pesticides and other chemicals to grow. America forbids us to grow industrial hemp under Federal Law but America is also the biggest importer of hemp products in the world. If you do not really care about environmental causes then think of the money and new businesses that will be generated if we lift the Federal ban on industrial hemp. Hemp has the potential to help save our environment and strengthen the economy. Please tell everyone you know about this petition because every person who signs it is actually sending a letter about the issue of the ban on hemp to the president and the senators who represent them.

Every signature really does help the cause and I encourage you all to take action yourselves in whatever ways you can think of.

Thank you for your support!
