Is hemp different in any way from a pot plant?

Unless you want to smoke yourself to a huge headache, then yes, extremely.

I think this is incorrect, ethanol yield is directly related to how much sugar is in a crop, hemp isn't very sweet.

Yeah, if the liberals in congress would pull their heads out of their asses, this would help quite a bit. It won't take 10-15 years to get into production and it would cause more than a $.30 price drop. Most of the current price increase is from speculation, not actual useage.

I don't know if you heard about this, but China is using way more than they used to and more of it all the time, it really is caused by more usage and an incapability of current supply to keep up with demand.

I am just going off of articles that I have read. Switchgrass and hemp seem to be two of the best overall crops to make ethanol out of in most of the US.

Its a very common misconception that supply/demand is driving our fuel prices.

Hemp Is legal and has never been illegal. Marijuana is not.

No, it is not legal to grow hemp in the US of A. Hemp = a form of cannabis. Cannabis = the devil. It *DOES* contain THC, even if it is in very low numbers.

If we want to get really technical, some states do allow industrial hemp to be grown, but it is still illegal by federal laws, kind of like the Medical Marijuana thing.
