Im suspicious; I think corn would produce more than hemp. But you cant find out for certain without research.

Yes, there are many possible uses for hemp. The book "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer is very informative on hemp and its various uses. I wish people would learn that it can serve a purpose other than being smoked and the THC can practically bred out of it.

Wouldn't hemp deplete the topsoil in the same way as any other crop? They take nutrients out of the soil. Algae is a better choice, and more space-efficient.

This is some hippy talk that's actually 100% true.
Hemp REALLY IS this fucking amazing.
Several farmers in a few sates have been battling the DEA over hemp farming for years with no progress.
I really hope the fuel angle can get the grow bill passed, but the Hemp story in California has been pretty sad so far.

If hemp could grow in the desert like algae I'd be convinced. Otherwise you're just taking up land that can be used to grow food.

Hemp is legal in many countries. If it has any real potential, it will catch on in those countries, and then America will have no choice but to legalize it.
Also, do you realize the effect widespread hemp cultivation would have on marijuana production?
Growing sinsemillia would be nearly impossible in many areas.
