  Prediction for Ethanol in "Green" States

  The following is based on my blog, but I thought it was relevant to share here.  

  Top It Off With Ganja

  The term Green Revolution is not used much these days with the new era of being green as a necessity, regardless of opinion on the environmental matters, the idea of hemp and auto fuel has rekindled my interest in the term and thinking about hemp to fuel the turning of my auto's wheels.  Yes, I'm talking about hempanol.  With the concern that corn crops used for animal feed and human consumption may now be used to create ethanol, why not grow hemp?  Hemp will certainly have its opponents such as the oil industry, Rush Limbaugh, and others that may claim that the hemp crop will lower their smoking supplies.  The truth is that Hemp has such low levels of THC that even my even the most  proficient puffers would likely pass out from oxygen deprivation before catching a buzz from commercial hemp (sorry bro').  I predict some states will legalize the agricultural growing of commercial hemp where some other states wouldn't fathom the idea (ya know, if officials want to be re-elected in certain States).  Although I predict some Darwin awards would be in order for freakers seeking a buzz from the hooka tail pipe of a Hemp-fueled SUV's exhaust, I think hemp would make a great green fuel while we transition to the alternative and hyvrid electric and hydrogen fuels of the future.  

  Instead of grades like regular and premium we could have grades such as skunk (regular), ganja-grade (mid-grade), and sense (premium).  I bet the fumes would make the morning commute to work much more enjoyable. I currently keep my car vents closed to keep out the nasty vapors floating around on the roads, but I would open my car vents to let in the sweet aroma of hempanol.  

  Just imagine a drive through the country and seeing rolling hills of hemp next to corn and wheat.  I think the first hemp powered vehicle should be called the Franklin, in honor of Benjamin Franklin who saw the utility of hemp back in the 1700's.
