Hemp Heals Land!

On April 26, 1986 one of the world's worse nuclear disasters took place took in Chernobyl. Of course, since than, Japan may be the worse.

The blast at Chernobyl heavily contaminated agricultural land within a 20 mile radius of the reactor. What do you do with land contaminated with radiation?

With the combination of a new technology called phytoremediation and a old crop called Industrial Hemp the Ukraine found a way to remove the contaminants from the land.

Hemp is proving to be one of the BEST phytoremediative plants in the world. Unlike it's cousin marijuana, it only contains a minute amount of THC, the stuff that makes you "high." Hemp is a natural God-given crop that can actually heal our land! Yet our government refuses to legalize it because of it's obsolete belief that it is a drug!

It has been proven again and again that you cannot get high on Industrial Hemp. As Ron Paul once said, "You would have to smoke a joint [made of industrial hemp] the size of a telephone pole to get high."

Politics with "certain" big business (take a guess what businesses) is keeping hemp growing illegal in the United States. As I have stated in other posts, some states are working to change all that and Ron Paul has introduced legislation to legalize hemp once again (H.R. 1831). Let's let our State representatives know that we support the H.R. 1831.

There is some great information at The Hemp Resource website to help educate you regarding industrial hemp. That is where my education started.
