HIGH GAS PRICES? THE ANSWER IS HEMP

Are you, tired of paying high gas prices? Notice that gas prices soar
every time a holiday rears its head? Are you fed up with politicians
not shaking the oil tree even when we know that these oil companies
are making record profits? Well, we all can do something about this.
However, once again, we need to educate ourselves on the history of
oil, and its coinciding history with hemp.

Since, one acre of hemp produces approximately 1,000 gallons of
methanol, we most likely would not even need these energy companies;
that is, until we decided to travel. As well, hemp alone, can save our
trees and process massive amounts of CO2.

The science is all at our fingertips people. The information you need
to know is all there in the history books, and on the internet. We
must step outside the box to begin to comprehend what we, as a
society, can do about high gas prices.
