4. I personally wouldn't know personally, but I heard.
I overheard some dirt bag dopers complaining that it cost more to fill their trucks than an ounce of weed costs, they pay about 70 bucks to fill their tanks, don't know what the dope goes for though.

When I was young and stupid, I filled my tank for 5 bucks, and weed was 15 bucks an ounce, but now, I'm old and stupid.

8. Well, if they were dealers then that could be about right.
The way the supply chain works, it gets really cheap the higher you go (like $500 per pound, or so my guy says)

10. A tank of gas only lasts a few days.
You should get a free ounce with every fourth fill up!

23. "You should get a free ounce with every fourth fill up!"
But then you would just burn up all your gas going back and forth between home and 7-11 to buy more doritos<G>

17. It's good for cooking :)
Even the worst crap in circulation can make some really good and potent cannabutter if you're good at making it. $50 an ounce isn't bad at all when you can make 24 or so very potent brownies. And the cannabutter I've made with dirt schwag tasted just as good as the butter made with the good stuff, it just required a bit more filtering.

6. And if you run out of gas, at least you'll be high.
Whereas if you run out of weed, you'll drive around for days looking for it.

16. So said Ford. But we can't grow hemp, someone might smoke it!
I don't know who that idiot "someone" might be but the government seems to.

And if there's one thing our government knows it's idiocy.

19. That 'someone' was the oil companies, even back then.
Hemp oil as a lubricant threatened oil company products, so the put up a scare about the evils of hemp. That was long before there was a thought of using hemp as a bio-fuel.

Remember - Big Oil is the source of ALL EVIL.

26. The original VW Beetles
seats were upholstered with hemp. That is why it is so hard to find original seats to use in restoration.

21. diesel engines were designed to run on hemp oil...
http://portalmarket.com/hemphistory.html

Henry Ford built his Ford Model-T using hemp to line the side panels. The impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel alone. This would eliminate many vehicular deaths today. The Model-T was also designed to run on hemp fuel which Henry Ford grew. This was displayed in Popular Mechanics in Feb. of 1938.

The building of early American colonies as well as the American Revolution would not have been possible if it were not for a very special plant. The Cannabis / Hemp plant was used throughout the world since the beginning of time for just about everything that mankind needed. Paper made from hemp was used for books, bibles, maps, and money. You can produce 4 times as much paper from an acre of hemp as you can from an acre of trees at 1/4 the cost, 1/5 the pollution, it is 10 times stronger and lasts up to 1000 years instead of only 50. And it can be recycled 4 times as many times as paper from wood pulp.

The Constitution was printed on hemp paper as well as the first 3 drafts of the Declaration of Independence. Even great sailing ships like the U.S.S. Constitution were made primarily out of hemp. Hemp is the STRONGEST natural fiber on the planet. Hemp is 26 times stronger than cotton and 10 times longer lasting. The first Levi jeans were made out of hemp as well as all of the soldier's clothes for the Revolutionary War.

It requires no chemicals to grow, has very few natural enemies, and grows in the widest variety of climates of any weed or plant.

The seeds from the hemp plant provide the highest source of complete vegetable protein of any food source on earth. Even higher than soybeans. It has also been re-realized lately that the hemp seed is the highest source of Essential Fatty Acids in the world. ESSENTIAL, meaning :NECESSARY FOR LIFE, Fatty Acids are necessary for us and beneficial for cleaning the cholesterol out of the arteries naturally. All oils in the supermarket are bad since they are placed in clear plastic containers and exposed to direct sunlight. They become as bad as saturated fats, and end up CAUSING cholesterol buildup, leading to heart attacks, etc.

Hemp seed oil can even be used as a machine-grade lubricant for engines and other machines replacing petroleum oil from the ground.

22. LOL...
If you smoke the weed you'll save lots of gas by slowing down to 30 mph..

Chong: Am I driving OK, man?

Cheech: I think we're parked, man.
