Arnold is just a moron too...

Well, California’s "Fearless Fosdick" Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger has again stifled any hope of bringing the industrial hemp industry to California and the United States. Unlike his more forward-thinking and courageous counterpart in North Dakota, Schwarzenegger bowed to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and useless fears that industrial hemp will get you high, and vetoed Assembly Bill 684 which would have allowed a four-county, five-year pilot program of industrial hemp production in California.

It has nothing to do with "drug" use. Industrial hemp cannot be used as a drug... the two issues cannot, in ANY way, be compared.
The man is just a moron.

An acre of hemp makes 3 times the paper with a 5th the chemicals as wood.. you can get two crops a year. It takes 5 years to grow one acre of paper trees.
It would cut the land needed by so much that we could increase our virgin forests in ten years by more than one can almost imagine.
That is just wood... the same is similar for pollution for denim, cotton cloth, rope and many other products like oil and ethanol... oops perhaps now we know.
