QLA on Allowing Hemp to be Farmed

Has industrial hemp (which is not the variety used for making marijuana) been banned from the world for 60 years merely to suit the financial interests of the cotton, plastics and chemical industries? I have promoted a feature film "The Hemp Revolution" which states that we need not cut down any more of our trees because hemp can much more effectively provide all the paper we need - plus so many other products all the way from clothing to building boards, rope and medicine - so that it seems incredible that this crop has been withheld from us for so long. I want to see a thorough enquiry regarding this crop which I suspect may be able to change our world from "petro chemical unsustainable" to "plant-based sustainable". Amazingly we could also get most of the fuel we need for our cars from this hemp. So why it is banned?
