There is a lot at stake in our country due to continued prohibition that is not only expensive but un-necessary.
We have farmers out of work because of the strength of the world market, many countries of which have the right to grow hemp.
The USA consistently buys over 11 million barrels of oil a day from foreign sources (462 million gallons of gas).
The staggering cost of this fuel is beyon 1.25 BILLION dollars each day, or 457 BILLION dollars per year.
There is no doubt that we already spend more on prohibition than we do on most other social services in this country.
According to Professor Jeffery Miron of Harvard we will save 70 Billion dollars just from not having to enforce prohibition on consumer cannabis.
But this doesn't even begin to touch the economical and environmental benefits of industrial hemp production.
The net gain over all hemp products, including hemp fuel, hemp food, hemp clothing, hemp cosmetics, etc is astounding and nearly unmeasurable as it has near limitless potental.
In 1938 Popular mechanics magazine reported hemp to be the "Billion dollar crop", and that was before we started importing fuel.
After you consider inflation, and our increased need for localized fuel production, that figure of one billion is increase exponentially.

Thank you for taking the time to review this video and the contents in the links below.
Prohibition violates our rights of "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness".
Lets re-declare our rights!
