  • clothing

There is no other plant that is as versatile.

Blending cotton with hemp allows you to get the best clothing... People are already selling this clothing and fabric online.

Good stuff, Linen and silk are pretty good too, not to mention horn, sinew, wood, bamboo and loads of other natural stuff.
Cat fur is snuggly too.

But none of those are nearly so useful as hemp for educating investment bankers.

You're kidding, right ? Far too many bankers can't tell the difference between hemp and tobacco .

Peanuts

See George Washington Carver on Wikipedia.

"Much of Carver's fame is related to the hundreds of plant products he popularized. After Carver's death, lists were created of the plant products Carver compiled or originated. Such lists enumerate about 300 applications for peanuts and 118 for sweet potatoes, although 73 of the 118 were dyes. He made similar investigations into uses for cowpeas, soybeans, and pecans. Carver did not write down formulas for most of his novel plant products so they could not be made by others."

Now, that being said, I know of no other plants as popular as hemp and varieties or two thereof.
