one simple question - how many acres of hemp cultivation is required to replace 1 million barrels of crude oil ?

The key words there are "nothing but bad effects for me". There are drugs I absolutely can't use. They do nothing but make me worse. Yet they are prescribed successfully for others every day. I don't seem to have a problem with other people using those drugs though. Yet you have a problem with marijuana because you don't react well to it. The difference being, that I'm not narrow minded like you. You should think on that.

It helps with cancer and other illnesses, I stopped using it about two years ago and my health went into decline since then. Just saying.

Something I would be interested in reading as well. I was shocked several years ago when I watched a debate on medicinal cannabis. (Donahue, Geraldo, Dr. Phil? I don't remember...) Not ONE of those representing the side of cannabis pointed out other methods of getting it into the patient's system. Yet the "establishment" side of the debate kept hammering the point they could never approve anything that involved smoke going into the lungs.

About 36 million acres of corn was used last year for ethanol (40% of the 90 million over all).
There's a lot of land out there.
Not to mention the roofs of buildings (green roofing) could carry a LOT of that burden.
I don't claim it as a miracle but we need to start looking at alternatives than syphoning vast amounts of crude oil from the ground........
They note that growing biofuel crops on a large scale requires either the conversion of agricultural land used for food crops or the destruction of forests to free up land, possibly offsetting any reduction in carbon emissions from the use of biofuels.

I hope you are not trying to get the thread shut down..........
Not at all.
Discussing this is fine, however thread titles like this one need to be done away with. Its purposefully misleading and and insulting to those of us that know better.

I'm wondering what the disconnect is with people?
Me too.
The only thing people are meant to breathe is air preferably clean
Rolling up plants, and setting them on fire NOT SO MUCH.
