Cannabis History Is Quite Impressive
Not many of us are very good
at history and even those of us who love cannabis, are usually not very well
informed about cannabis history. In this
article I will tell you something cannabis that you probably did not know and
that could actually be very helpful for all us.
Henry Ford was without out a
doubt, one of the most important minds in all of America and one of his most
popular sayings was “There's
enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the
machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for one hundred years.”
Ford also knew about the importance of hemp
and he believed that ethanol made from any vegetable, plan and especially hemp,
would one day become the most important fuel in the world. Unfortunately, the
machinery or engines that were available during Henry Ford’s time were not very
the best for running on ethanol, but this visionary man was even able to
produce an entire vehicle made out of hemp and he even made it run on ethanol
made from hemp.
The resin that this car was
made from was entirely made out from hemp fiber and Henry Ford also stated that
he believed that cultivating hemp would produce an incredible amount of
economic resources and today our world would be completely different if his ideas
had been accepted.
Hoping For Changes In Cannabis History
Ford’s plans to create cars
made out from hemp fiber and ethanol that was created from hemp as well, would
of have really made our world different and the cannabis history that we know
today would be entirely different as well.
If hemp was used today to
produce ethanol and some of the fibers in our cars, we would depend a lot less
on gasoline and diesel, which would certainly benefit our environment and
economy as well.
Our forests would have
certainly benefited from this too, as not many trees would be cut down every
year and even our farmers could have another very productive crop to grow. If
Henry Ford’s ideas had prospered, we would have a whole different
transportation system; a system that would create less contamination, a system
that would create more jobs and a system that would make the entire world a lot
better.
Cannabis History Should BeVery Different
Another incredible fact in cannabis history is
that hemp does not contain nearly the amount of THC that cannabis does and this means that it
could not get anyone high. You would need to smoke several acres of hemp in
order to get a buzz and this is why I cannot believe that hemp was made
illegal.
Cannabis and hemp can
produce ethanol, they are easy to grow, and they can withstand different climates
and could save our forests. Hemp can be used to produce many things and since
it does not get you high, there really should be no reason for it being
illegal. It has only been banned, because it looks like cannabis and maybe
because some people did not want it to substitute oil. You can be the judge of
that.
