The farm bill that was passed recently is going to allow commercial hemp to be grown again in the US. This is going to be a major plus for farmers because it is a natural weed and doesn't require much water. It is beneficial to the soil with it's long roots. There are many applications for the fiber and oil. It is also a bio-fuel and is being used in Germany to generate energy. This will also move farmers away from GMO grains and into more sustainable farming practices.
Salon's article covers it's current uses and how it will be good for the economy.
