Documentary On The Need And Use For Hemp And Marijuana

If you have read any previous pages from the website you will now how important we feel hemp is to the growth of biomass fuels. Hemp fuel pellets are the most comparable alternative to wood pellets in terms of low ash, low corrosion and high heat. No other biomass crop can offer comparable yields and a more suitable fuel. However as you will know, growing hemp is not the easiest practice. There are multiple obstacles to growing hemp even though modern society today would not exist without this wonder crop. The obstacles were developed through extensive propaganda from the oil and timber industry. However this is hardly ever reported, and the myths about the inflated dangers of the crop have grown even more. With regards to our focus of using hemp for fuel pellets is should be made clear that it is not a drug. To put this into context, you could smoke a whole field of hemp and not have any associated 'drug' effects. However despite this today if I went into our field and planted a hemp seed I could technically be arrested. Browsing through the Internet I came across a very balanced and factual documentary on hemp and its modern history, click below.

The documentary is quite long, but it is literally one of the best I have seen on the subject. The reasons for hemp to be banned are simply not justified, and even purely from a fuel stand point these laws are worth challenging. This first step is to educate more people about what hemp is and the facts, not the myths. Therefore please share this video so more people can learn the benefits of this plant. At PelHeat we offer UK made pellet production equipment such as pellet makers and complete plants. Through the link below you can see our equipment in action producing a range of various biomass pellets.
