RE: The Exploding Hemp Industry Could Literally Save The Bees Of The World
Did you know that back in the day when sailing ships ruled the seas and all rope was hemp rope, hemp was considered a strategic commodity crucial for national defense like oil is today? Sadly after the US invaded the Philipines, Philipine hemp was cheaper to produce and killed the domestic market. That's the only reason the government ever got around to banning hemp/marijuana in the 1930's. By that time, all hemp was being imported so they figured they didn't need it anymore.
This is so interesting sir optout, thanks for this great information! I knew they had banned it but I wasn't sure why. Dang, they say a good crop will bring in $50,000 an acre! I wonder if it grows in Texas? lol..we have a few acres!
It's pretty much a weed and grows everywhere. Wyoming just legalized hemp growing for our farmers. If it grows in Wyoming, it will grow double good in Texas! LOL. As I type, it's -4 degrees outside.
Holy smokes! -4 degrees. That's good news about the legalization. I suppose Texas will be the last to do that. I think it's a fantastic cash crop to grow.
We're(Mrs. J. and I)very interested in startups also. We don't have any invested in cannabis yet but I know it's going to be huge.
