This document discusses the benefits of growing hemp over other crops. It produces higher yields than other crops per acre for paper pulp, fiber, and edible oil. Hemp also produces better quality paper, fabric, and oil. While hemp was an important crop for early American founders, its production was later banned due to propaganda associating it with marijuana. Growing hemp worldwide could help reduce the potency of marijuana crops through cross-pollination. The document advocates for America to regain its founders' vision of hemp as a valuable agricultural crop.
