Hemp Can Save The Planet 1988 T-Shirt

Hemp is a botanical class of Cannabis Sativa cultivars grown specifically for industrial and consumable use that was first spun into usable fiber 50,000 years ago. Along with bamboo, hemp is one of the fastest growing plants on Earth, and also like bamboo, hemp be used to make a wide range of environmentally friendly products. It can be refined into a variety of commercial items, including paper, rope, textiles, clothing, biodegradable plastics, paint, insulation, biofuel, food, and animal feed. Despite hemp's limitless applications, the plant was first struck down by the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, and then became a victim of the '70s 'war on drugs' in America due to its association with marijuana.
