HEMP OIL COULD HELP FUEL CARS

Finally a positive article about "commercial" hemp, which is not the
same as marijuana (Sunday, July 19, "Show your green cred with hemp").

This country is so backwards in its thinking of this great and
easy-to-grow renewable product. We could fuel cars on hemp oil and
biodiesel, leaving corn for what it should be used for.

Hemp could solve many of our nation's problems and quickly. America's
founders all grew it, even the first flags were made from hemp!
America needs to get over the similarity to marijuana.
