All I have to say is Goddamn the DuPont corporation for doing the things that they do. Was it THAT important for your plastic manufacturing. (Read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer and you'll understand"). These things should be common knowledge to the people so we don't keep hearing about how hemp and marijuana are EVIL and is here to DESTROY... what a load of crap. 5 starts from my part

I personally don't do the maryjuana scene, but hemp is the future of alternative fuels. Too bad that the greedy nature of humans have ruined our enviroment with crude oil based products. There have been many alternative fuel developers that studied the hemp seed oil. In fact, a standard diesel engine can be converted to run on pollution-free hemp seed oil. They have also developed home heating conversions as well. How long are we going to allow the rich oil barons dictate our lives with enviromentally threatening fuels such as crude oil, even the extraction of crude oil causes pollution...

Film is a little dull, but it is informal. Two things one should know about hemp. 1. It is not marijuana. This has been stated before, but I will repeat it. 2. Hemp is not completely illegal. As stated in the film, you just need a special permit to grow it, which is true. For the record, I don't smoke, or do drugs, because it's stupid. But even more stupid are the people that overlook great environmental pluses just because a plant is related to one used as a drug. I am not an environmentalist either, and I am not the type of person that rides my bike all the time just because I think that…

These reviews are better than the film. I'm guessing that, unlike myself who typed in 'WWII' in the search bar, the majority here typed in some nonsense about legalizing pot, and, seeing the film, decided to post some cliche monkey crap about the many uses of the plant, all conveniently overlooking the fact that you had to put down the lighter, wipe your eyes with your NORML t-shirt, and dig out your approved argument list (government's bad, corporations are bad, pot is good) to make that happen. Anyway, as for the film, as for WWII propaganda films, this one is just ok. I am, however, giving…

★★★★★ · hemp is marijuana, marijuana is hemp · janegreen · 2015-10-04

There appears to be a few morons who believe that hemp and marijuana are different plants. They are NOT. the hemp used for cordage and fabric et al is Cannabis sativa. Cannabis sativa does contain THC the main psychoactive component. The only real difference is the cultivation method used. Plants grown close together grow very tall, often as tall as 20 feet plus and produce fewer flowers in fact usually only the top cola and grown as an industrial crop the female plants are fertilized and produce seed, itself a valuable crop. Certainly there would, if the plant were again to be cultivated for…

★★★★ · Hemp 4 Fiber · 1mile2go · 2004-03-16

A Good WWII Film, about the war effort at home. The US govt. in an attempt to get farmers to change crops to the production of hemp for fiber shows how to grow and harvest. In order to supply the war effort with enough rope to replace the loss of sources due to Japan's controlling the areas of supply in Southeast Asia. This film has parallels to today it is one thing to resurrect a supply of simple raw materials in time of need. But would it be as simple to restore whole industries such as steel and electronic and other manufacturing industries that have moved to the same regions i.e.…
