Hemp was heavily grown and used industrially in the US before it was first prohibitively taxed and then outright banned. It's widespread planting was heavily encouraged by the US government during WW1 to get raw materials for military supplies & equipment.

On that note, extraction and regulation of THC compounds for pure medical research would be pretty good.

Honestly, I'd be fine if people would just admit they want to get high. But no, it's all "Hemp is, like, super useful, man, and the MAN is keeping me down with his harshness, man!"

I guess I'm pro-hemp and anti-hippie.

sorry haters, but cannabis really is the miracle plant.

"The two main proteins in hempseed are edestin and albumin. Both of these high-quality storage proteins are easily digested and contain nutritionally significant amounts of all essential amino acids."

Proof of Hemp's excellent nutritional value:
http://www.springerlink.com/content/l4kr3v51j21tkx16/

and not only is hemp protein readily digestible and contains all the essential amino acids that we can't produce, but (i read somewhere) doesn't contain large amounts of phytic acid, a compound found in other plants like soy that may interfere with the absorption of said amino acids.

Proof of the effect of phytic acid: http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10408398009527293

i can't find any papers published on the phytic acid content of cannabis, but i'd really like to know

>>186074

yeah well, hemp IS super useful, dipshit

>>186071

and who fucking cares? i don't like to get high but i think marijuana's flowers should be available to consume. all intoxicants should be legal. if people want to waste away and be fucking dipshits then let them, but at least give them the tools to be safe about it. i believe in harm reduction and police should be worried about things other than a fucking plant that you can't even overdose on.

not saying that it can't contribute as a cause of death, but strictly speaking you cannot kill yourself by smoking too much herb unless you just constantly deprive your lungs of oxygen by having smoke in them.

oh yeah and THC as well as CBD may have neuroprotective effects:

I have absolutely no bias, possibly against hemp, but I bought a hemp wallet in Portland, OR for about $30 (because my wallet fell apart and WTFnot) and it's lasted longer than my previous two leather wallets.

However, it requires a shitload of fertilization for maximum potential to be reached. They're nutrient-hungry plants.

Uhh, the "Russians" said that. In the 1950's during the Cold War. It was a tactic to scare Americans. I don't know if it was by the Communists to intimidate the west or by an American to make Americans join the anti-Communist bandwagon.

I'd like to remind you that the rest of the world isn't as hostile towards (low THC) hemp cultivation as the American government. As a result, it is cultivated for various purposes in many countries.

Now, does everyone outside the USA rave about the awesomeness of hemp and want to use it for everything?
No. That's an American thing, apparently a side effect of the silly laws.

wtf are you talking about? those hippies you're referring to don't want to get stoned, they ARE getting stoned. weed being illegal doesn't really interfere with that. just because they smoke doesnt mean that they cant comprehend the plants usefulness. also, it's just fucked up that the government can control what you take into your own body, especially when its such a harmless substance.

Hemp gets really heavy when wet, it's like denim. That's why it isn't the most useful textile/rope product, there are several natural and synthetic variants which do the job better.
There is evidence that cannabinoids in smokable cannabis operate in the same areas of the brain which are affected during psychosis/schizophrenia. Whether the cannabinoids actually cause psychosis/schizophrenia directly is another matter. It is known that smoking weed causes latent mental illnesses to be brought forward.
Not only this, but any kind of smoke contains carcinogens, even in small amounts. Don't go around saying weed is harmless just because some dipshit reporter cherry picked from a scientific paper and claims to be an expert on the matter.
