If this becomes law, which looks highly likely, it will open a Pandora's Box of mammoth proportions affecting many major industries in a pretty short time. The list of uses of hemp is nearly endless, and this includes fuel and most uses of petroleum. Also, many end-uses of such crops as soybeans and corn can be produced better and much cleaner and more sustainably.
This is really huge news. George Washington would be happy. William Randolph Hearst much less so.....
