The seeds of the hemp plant can produce an oil that can be used in cooking as well as a fuel oil. The stems produce a fiber that is extremely strong, and can be used as a construction material that rivals wood, and can also be used in the manufacture of textiles, ropes....etc. There may even be a pharmacological use for the drug tetrahydrocannabinol, but not much is being done in the way of research with it because its status as a schedule I drug, and the accompanying paranoia and prejudice surrounding anything to with its use.

Tobacco on the other hand....

We have hemp shops everywhere, pot laws do not affect hemp that i know of. Theres one less than a mile of here. Hemp stuff in many stores. Pot heads making the "but hemp can make rope so we need our pot" argument must be stoned.
