Hemp, the world\'s premiere renewable natural resource, by journalist and commentator Hugh Downs speaking for ABC News radio out of New York in November, 1990. Mr. Downs did his homework exceedingly well for this report--he succeeded in including a great deal of useful information in the short timespan of only nine minutes, forty seconds. Seeking to leverage off the clarity of his research, nine footnotes have been added to the text to provide people with a cross-section of the reference material substantiating the facts Mr. Downs articulates.

I never have nore ever will smoke hemp but even I know the probition of it is down right idiotic! No scientific evidence proves its either dangerous or toxic to the human body. The fact of history on hemp is true that big pharma, big energy corporations, corp cotton corporations are scared stiff of hemp being made legal to grow and use. The fact is that hemp can easily replace all those needs, in fuel, medicine and fabrics. The fuel is much cleaner than oil produced fuel. The hemp fibers are greatly more durable and softer than cotton fiber(hemp completely non-toxic processes also) Hemp grows to full hight in 6 to 8 weeks and puts off a huge amound of Oxygen. Whats the most amazing is how supposely free my fellow Americans seem to think they are but are sooooooooo uneducated and backward thinking when it comes to the issue of hemp. Congressional hearings before passage of laws against the growing and use of hemp are also racist in content also. Go look at the Congression record on this issue before federal laws of hemp probition where passed. It was stated that, may I paraphrase it "If white women smoke hemp, they will be more likely to sleep with black men" It's just soooooo silly how free my fellow Americans think they actually are. That goes for the use of hemp also!
