DID YOU KNOW ? ... In 1941 Henry Ford produced an experimental automobile with a hemp-resin body composed of 70 percent cellulose fibers from hemp. The car was lighter than typical metal vehicle framing, giving it greater fuel efficiencey. The car body could absorb blows ten times as great as steel without denting. The car was designed to run on hemp-ethanol fuel. Because of the petroleum-backed smear campaigns and the ban on both hemp and alcoho, the car was never mass-produced.
