Excerpt} Hemp is a fast-growing crop that requires no irrigation and no fertilizer. One acre of hemp can produce 3-10 tons of biomass every four months of growing season. Hemp is cheap to tend, doesn’t need pesticides, and is actually good for the soil in that it fixes nitrogen. Hemp is heartier than most similar plants, and it’s the strongest natural fiber in the world. Both are members of the cannabis family, but where hemp is grown for food and other everyday uses, marijuana gets users high. Marijuana remains banned under the federal Controlled Substances Act, which theoretically extends to industrial hemp, though it contains less than 0.3 percent THC
