The Emperor Wears No Clothes $100,000 Challenge

[alpo]

Jack Herer offered $100,000 to anyone who can disprove the claims made within his book. Quoting from the book's back cover:
“If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil, and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is -- the same one that did it all before -- Cannabis Hemp... Marijuana!"


would coconuts/coconut oil/coconut fiber be a substance that could do all these things?

coconut comes from a tree that takes a long time to grow compared to Cannabis which is done in under 1 yr

alpo - Did you read the book, or only the back cover? The book answers your question 100 times over in very clear detail.

 

[Green81]

Cannabis as an annual crop - nothing can come close to its efficiency within nature.

hemp rules... coconuts take forever to grow. I know I sprouted and planted hundreds in florida......... I have always wondered about sunflowers and their possible uses... they got seed, got spindly fibrous stalks and grow fast too.. but I don't advise smoking em lol

 

[blastfrompast]

And for those who grow trees......Next time save the trunk of you plant....Let it dry.....

My friend thinks it might be his next wood carving project...I always expected it to dry weird being so fibrous...but seems to be fine...Heavy and dense tho...

I always wanted to try an wicker type chair with weed....I used a knarly mj stump for a macaw once in its cage....

He is hoping to strip the bark cleanly too see what he has to work with.

He has a knife projecton the go that is needing a handle....As long as it doesn't turn into a friggin whirley-gig I'll be happy...

 

[Baked Alaskan]

You can get more than one crop of hemp per year, making it an even better!

 

[mrcreosote]

Wouldn't it be ironic if they legalized hemp and grew it on prison farms by former growers who got busted?

stay out of the south then. they might have to bring in the man just to get them to comply like anti segregation way back...be funny to watch the man guard hemp
