It seems like stoners are the only ones who care about making things out of hemp.

Ok, if I’m growing hemp, and I know that a college student will pay $50 for 1/8 ounce, why the **** would I put it in my car and burn it?
I realize gas prices are high, but they aren’t THAT bad.

I am all for legalizing marijuana and hemp. For their uses as recreational drugs and a fiber alternative. But they are really not going to be useful as a fuel alternative. We need to invest more in Hybrids (so that the battery and motor technology can advance to the point where they are totally electric), electric cars, Solar, Wind, Geothermal and Nuclear power to provide electricity.
But people should be able to do whatever they want to their own bodies as long as it doesn’t hurt others. Make pot subject to the same regulations as alcohol.
Though pot is demonized as a narcotic and “gateway” drug now, it was originally made illegal to support Du Pont’s investment in Nylon, and to take away its use as pulp for newspapers.
The USA needs to grow up for sure, but hemp as a substitute source for gasoline is not going to happen soon, so we should put our efforts into other ways to get off of petroleum fuels and coal.
