“Hemp’s current economic value is difficult to determine because it has been linked with marijuana and considered illegal in many countries, including the US since 1937. Australia, Canada, and many other countries have all legalized the growing of hemp in recent years. France has a long tradition of growing hemp for seed oil and China plans to substantially increase acreage and production of hemp, primarily for textile production. If the silly and sordid prohibition against hemp is repealed we will get the final verdict from the marketplace.”
