How To Save Seeds
The Hemp Revolution
From describing the production of a fibre much more durable and economic
than wood, the documentary discusses hemps multilateral uses as e.g.
food products, as a non-polluting fuel and as a pharmaceutical product
with much less grievous side effects than chemical pharmaceutical
products. The film also investigates why America went from a country
which produced vast quantities of the non-narcotic industrial hemp, to
the complete ban on hemp production in 1938. This story in particular is
interesting, and it points out that the large oil based industries
actually had a key role in the aforementioned ban. Food for thought! The
conclusion of the documentary could be that hemp may prove to be a valid
alternative to both oil and wood in the future.«
