Regarding the discussion of Newspaper recycling:

I feel obligated to mention that Marijuana produces 4 times the paper per
acre of land than do trees.
The whole concept of using trees to make Paper is stupid.  Ever notice
how all books over 52 years old don`t get brown with age?  Those were
printed on Marijuana, as was the U.S. Declaration of Independence, signed
on July 4, 1776.  {The DOE was copied to Parchment [cured animal skin]
later in that year}

And where did the farmers get the idea of using corn to produce alcohol
fuel, when Marijuana produces about 10 times as much alcohol as does corn.
per acre.

And what brilliant fireman decided to use Rye Grass to prevent soil erosion
after a forest fire?  Marijuana, the fastest growing plant in most of the
US, grows up to 12 inches of roots within the first month.  Rye Grass grows
several times less during the first month.  If Marijuana was used then only
one month after a fire virtually all erosion would be stopped.

Presidents Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln each grew over 4,000 acres
of pot on their plantations.
