2014-03-18 02:35:20| Powells Books Events Calendar
The stat sheet on hemp sounds almost too good to be true: its fibers are among the planet's strongest, its seed oil the most nutritious, and its potential as an energy source vast and untapped. As the prohibition on hemp's psychoactive cousin winds down, one of humanity's longest-utilized plants is about to be reincorporated into the American economy. In Hemp Bound (Chelsea Green), Doug Fine embarks on a humorous yet rigorous journey to meet the people who are testing, researching, and pioneering hemp's applications for the 21st century. This event is sponsored by Oregon NORML.
