Hemp Hero: Gatewood Galbraith
At the heart of Gatewood Galbraith's mission in Life was the restoration of hemp as a vital economic resource. He envisioned a future where industrial hemp revitalized rural communities and fueled economic growth. Gatewood's unwavering commitment to this cause manifested in various forms.
Gatewood argues that hemp is a versatile crop with significant potential to replace petroleum-based products, revitalize the agricultural economy, and reduce the world's reliance on fossil fuels. He also criticizes the DEA for refusing to issue permits for growing hemp as a fuel crop and accuses them of acting on behalf of the pharmaceutical and petrochemical industries to maintain their monopolies.
He also highlights the potential of hemp as a sustainable and ancient energy source, capable of producing more energy per acre than other crops and trapping and storing more sun's energy than any plant.
