Hey, have I got a "cheap replacement" for you!

Hemp has been used for millennia, not only for clothing, ropes, sails,
tarps, etc.etc. The OIL from hemp seeds runs engines very well,
thank you! Why do you suppose environmental-minded consumers are
buying fuel from enterprises set up to recycle ****ing RESTAURANT
GREASE! While the oilionnaires running our govt try their best
to keep these outlets rare and isolated.

Hemp cannot be used to get high, like its cousin, marijuana.
But for nearly 100 years, U.S. drug policy (designed and passed
through Congress at the behest of the oil, tire, and automotive
industries) still outlaws it from being cultivated in the U.S.

Your contributor is not a drug user of anything stronger than bread

I am merely suggesting that hemp, which grows like a weed on
the most inhospitable ground and reseeds itself prolifically, could be
a fantastic petroleum substitute on many engines/motors, if our govt
and those voters who are deluded by its propaganda, could get their
heads out of their ***.
