HEMP CAN SAVE THE WORLD

Re: "Like it or not, oilsands projects vital," (Lorrie Goldstein, Sept 17).

A quick Google search of the words "industrial hemp", and you realize 
humans don't even need crude oil. Everything we use oil for can be 
done with hemp, but it uses less water, causes less pollution, and 
de-centralizes power away from the oil barons and back to the people. 
If Alberta wants to thrive, grow more hemp instead of cow-food and 
cows-for-food. But that won't happen. The oil lobby has so much 
control over the world's governments the will of the people has been 
relegated to history.
