Industrial hemp would be an economical fuel if hemp were legal to <br>  <br> cultivate in the United States. Industrial hemp has no psychoactive <br>  <br> properties and is not a drug. Hemp Car will demonstrate the concept of <br>  <br> hemp fuels on a national level and promote the reformation of current <br>  <br> law. The car will tour America, with stops in Canada, frequenting <br>  <br> alternative-energy, environmental, and hemp-legalization events such as <br>  <br> SolFest and the Seattle Hemp Fest. We will kick off the tour on July 4, <br>  <br> 2001 at the Washington D.C. Rally to End Marijuana Prohibition. The car <br>  <br> is expected to generate publicity, emphasizing the utility of industrial <br>  <br> hemp to modern society. We intend to provide the public with information <br>  <br> about biofuels, hemp, their uses, and current American laws. We wish to <br>  <br> establish a world distance record for a vehicle utilizing hemp for fuel. <br>  <br> A network of hemp activists will provide us with the hemp oil at planned <br>  <br> intervals throughout the country.
