The future of hemp production could just be superabundant. There is a concept that in the future machines that can self-replicate by utilizing readily accessible resources that are in abundant supply can produce nearly limitless amounts of products. This is the way in which plants operate. Due to the amount of products that can be produced from hemp; utilizing hemp, and by excessively producing it we can create the effects now that future superabundance would make possible by ever-sophisticating technology. The imperative of producing hemp on an excessive scale is one of increasing energy needs, the failure of the feasibility of other means of producing bio-fuel (such as increasing corn prices due to bio-fuel production and the use of corn as a nationwide food staple) so that by utilizing hemp as the primary mode of bio-fuel production we can free ourselves from the dilemma of putting corn in our gas tanks or our dinner plates. This is merely one example of hemp’s potential as a renewable resource to replace finite fossil fuels if produced on an excessive scale.

The incentive to produce hemp on an excessive or in superabundant capacity is a matter of simple supply and demand. If hemp is produced on an excessive scale so excessive in fact if vast oversupplies are produced then the prices of the goods made from hemp will decrease drastically in price. The goal of superabundance is that our oversupplies could be so great that the products made from hemp could be in such great supply that they become accessible by all areas of the population at a very cheap price; or even no price at all. So accessible that people need not go without clothes, food, fuel, or even shelter.

One could immediately dismiss the idea of superabundantly produced hemp because the fact that excessive production would dilute any form of incentive in a capitalist society, This I think is not the case, because the cause of excessive hemp production to facilitate the needs of all the people in the country, or the world is a concern for humanity, and society.

We see on our televisions everyday now the problems of a lack of superabundance. Should a superabundance of hemp exist on an extremely excessive scale famines could be diverted at little to no cost. Where oversupplies of nutritious hemp seed in one country could easily be diverted to areas of the planet where droughts are occurring. When people need clothing it can be readily available to them for free or at no cost. Not to mention that food from hemp would be very nutritious and the clothing lasting very long.

The economic impact of simply initiating a program of excessive hemp production for the United States today would be great. Currently since we don’t produce hemp in America (though there are states that are trying to produce industrial hemp) if there are any products made from hemp in America that hemp is imported from another country. The act of importing hemp from another country does nothing to provide opportunities for Americans to produce that hemp, and no doubt the cost of importing that hemp translates through to the price a consumer pays for that good. Should the federal government in the United States pass legislation to allow the industrial production of hemp then prices of hemp products for American consumers would be lessened because we would not be paying for the importation of the raw material to produce it as it would be produced here.

The only problem I see with the feasibility of excessive production of hemp that leads to superabundant supplies is that if the end goal of excessive production is the availability of products at very low prices there may be no economic incentive. So clearly the remedy to that problem is for the government to take the lead. That if the merchant can’t see the value then maybe the congress might find the value in perhaps subsidizing hemp’s production, but I think the real remedy is the free market. If entrepreneurs are free to innovate in hemp production this could be the real catalyst to excessive production. I think entrepreneurs if they think they can make profits in hemp production, and from the manufacture of goods; then no doubt they would find easier and cheaper methods of producing that hemp. I also think that the government could have a very important role much in same way defense spending lead to the internet. That the government identifying the benefits of excessive hemp production could provide impetus, for example in World War II the government created a movie called hemp for victory encouraging farmers to grow as much hemp as they could. It seems that the government has the ability to identify the benefits of hemp production.

So as America encounters very tough times ahead, in the vain of Hemp for Victory we should all be encouraging our government to pass legislation to let farmers produce hemp, that there be a new resource readily available and at cheap prices because of excessive production to foment the creation of companies to utilize that resource to produce products. It will be an invaluable resource to the restoration of our economy, and could very well provide those things people need most to an excessive degree that many of the perceived problems of artificial or actual scarcity has created. with a superabundance of hemp production.
