The stat sheet on hemp sounds almost too good to be true: its fibers are among the planets strongest, its seed oil the most nutritious, and its potential as an energy source vast and untapped. Its one downside? For nearly a century, its been illegal to grow industrial cannabis in the United Stateseven though Betsy Ross wove the nations first flag out of hemp fabric, Thomas Jefferson composed the Declaration of Independence on it, and colonists could pay their taxes with it. But as the prohibition on hemps psychoactive cousin winds down, one of humanitys longestutilized plants is about to be reincorporated into the American economy. Get ready for the newest billiondollar industry.In Hemp Bound: Dispatches from the Front Lines of the Next Agricultural Revolution, bestselling author Doug Fine embarks on a humorous yet rigorous journey to meet the men and women who are testing, researching, and pioneering hemps applications for the twentyfirst century. From Denver, where Fine hitches a ride in a hemppowered limo; to Asheville, North Carolina, where carbonnegative hempcreteinsulated houses are sparking a mini housing boom; to Manitoba where he raps his knuckles on the hood of a hemp tractor; and finally to the fields of east Colorado, where practical farmers are looking toward hemp to restore their agricultural economyFine learns how eminently possible it is for this misunderstood plant to help us end dependence on fossil fuels, heal farm soils damaged after a century of growing monocultures, and bring even more taxable revenue into the economy than its smokable relative.Fines journey will not only leave you wondering why we ever stopped cultivating this miracle crop, it will fire you up to sow a field of it for yourself, for the nations economy, and for the planet.
