But considering that if it were to be legalized for recreational use, then the hemp plant itself will be legal and that threatens too many industries to count - Alcohol, tobacco, paper, clothing, and oil industry (to name a few) would suffer. Hemp produces 2,900 different products (something like that) including hemp clothing that is better and more durable than cotton clothing, gasoline that is more efficient than traditional fossil fuel/corn oils, and it produces paper that is far better than paper made from wood.

Now you see why it's such a threat, too many fat-ass owned corporations would suffer in the event of legalization so I don't see it happening (at least wide scale) any time soon though I would love to see it happen eventually.
Is extracting usable oil from hemp easier than getting it from the underground?

By easier I mean cheaper and more efficiently.
