In Europe, Mercedes uses hemp for their dashboards. VW uses it for various body panels. By 2008, Mercedes plans an entire car body using the stuff. Great market for farmers. Not ours, of course, but at least we have ag subsidies to fall back on.

I'm curious as to how hemp always gets brought up in these arguements. If I'm not mistaken, this dude does not want to smoke the hemp grown for industrial use, and the specialized buds he wants to smoke aren't any good for use as hemp. So we are really talking about 2 different plants.
