Just look at the amount of oil being wasted right now as it spews out into the Gulf of Mexico, and try to think of how much land, work, and time would go into producing enough hemp oil (or even just the equivalent calories in raw vegetable matter) to replace the oil being lost in just one hour. Hemp is to oil as working for minimum wage is to inheriting a billion dollars. Jimmy, hemp is a good, quickly renewable source of biomass, but it’s no replacement for petroleum.

I pray that we wake up to Hemp and the powers of the plant kingdom. Peace If we use Hemp for fuel alongside your urban gardens, we will be fine.

I fought our city (Montgomery OH, which CRIMINALIZED -- made it not just a zoning violation but an actual misdemeanor -- the keeping chickens last July) and got them to make chicken-keeping legal again here. It's a different situation (Montgomery is an upscale completely-developed inner suburb of Cincinnati) but here's the <a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/16509728/Changing-Your-Citys-Chicken-Laws" rel="nofollow">research document</a> I provided to them which goes into deep detail answering possible concerns/questions about urban/suburban chicken keeping. We turned our city council around from 7-0 against us to 7-0 for us. Best of luck to you.
