why on earth we keep ignoring this ridiculously important resource is beyond me. On the plus side, here in Canada we're jumping on the legalisation train finally - though cannabis in general is widely accepted, used, and loved here. Cops will never hassle you over a joint or two, and here in BC we have a huge 420 party.
Medical uses and recreational uses aside, why a few old men in dark rooms still control our ability to make pulp and paper products, fuels, oils, and all of the rest cheaply, safely, and more sustainably frigging boggles the mind. Advocates like you are growing, both in numbers and in influence...and it's going to make a difference!
