Is there a single plant that could possibly save the world? Because of its vigor and adaptability, it was amongst the first plants to be cultivated by humans and has been used and grown by many cultures for thousands of years. Yet, today people are fined, even jailed for growing this plant because it is illegal. Lawmakers fail to see that this sole plant probably has more uses than any other material on earth. The entire plant can be utilized for over 25,000 applications. To begin, the seed is nature"s perfect food. It can be ground into a meal or...
with this plant, it could supply us with all our fuel, gas and oil needs.

I find it funny that government officials don"t realize the impact that this single plant could have on the world. Instead of penalizing people for growing it, governments should be encouraging farmers to grow it. What is this plant you might ask? This plant that has created so much controversy and which I feel could save the world is hemp. Whatever you decide to call it, I feel that it is the nature"s most important plant that should be used to its fullest potential.
