WoW, there's alot of pro thought here about hemp. So I just gotta throw in my 2 bobs worth.

Hemp grown for intoxication (drugs) and hemp grown for fibre and textiles aren't that much different, the difference is HOw it is SOWN. Hemp grown for drugs needs at least 1/2 a square metre per plant so as to spread out its limbs and produce seedless heads, and must be all female plants. Hemp grown for fibre and oil, must be densely sown at one plant per square centimeter, and be of both sexes, which results in A thousand highly competitive plants per square metre of land, growing up to three metres tall in one season, (hemp can be cultivated to have 2 seasons a year this way) This results in one of the highest Carbon Sinks known to man, better than sugar cane. Each plant will produce just one head, 1000 per SQ. metre, which is heavily seeded with fertile seeds. Useless to smoke as a drug.

Hemp seeds produce more oil per volume than most other oil seed crops. One square metre of Hemp grown in this method can consume in six months the same amount of CO2 from the environment, as one square metre of old growth rainforest does over ten years.
