Don't you think properly managed tree plantations are a better source
of paper fibre and fuel? Hemp is an annual, likely grown in
monoculture, and does not prove the erosion control and habitat found
in well managed stand of trees. Trees also produce fruit and nuts --
useful food produts for both animals and people -- while producing
wood. What part of hemp can you eat?
