A quick Google search of the words "industrial hemp", and you realize humans don't even need crude oil. Everything we use oil for can be done with hemp, but it uses less water, causes less pollution, and de-centralizes power away from the oil barons and back to the people. If Alberta wants to thrive, grow more hemp instead of cow-food and cows-for-food. But that won't happen. The oil lobby has so much control over the world's governments the will of the people has been relegated to history.
