aNewDomain — As soon as politics and greed get out of the way, hemp will save the world. There’s a ton of great hemp-y information in this infographic, so take your time, and take it all in. After all, hemp has over 50,000 different uses, most of which are better for us and the planet than what is currently being used. Especially in industries like textiles, plastics and even fuel. Thanks to Brittney Broten for creating this awesome industrial hemp infographic.

Sadly our greedy and corrupt politicians (& that means every last one of them) are tied to the current energy companies and wont look toward a future with alternatives(and by that I dont mean wind & solar, I mean many alternatives such as Hemp, etc.).
