Why is this banned in America?
Can you use this oil with pretty much any type of cooking?

Because it made really fat people slim, and has slowed down the US econmoy because they ain't spending as much on fat people things, and food.

I think you are supposed to take it cold and not cook with it as heat will destroy its healthy properties.

All hemp products are banned in America - due to its association with cannabis, and growing hemp was illegal in all US states until recently, with five states now permitting growth.
Funnily - in the past - it was illegal for farmers in the UK NOT to grow hemp if they had over a certain area of land. This law was passed in the days when the UK had sailing ships, and the strongest natural material (hemp) was used to make the ropes and sails of these ships.
I am not really the right person to ask about cooking with it - as i only add a little to the POT when i am cooking noodles or pasta, to stop them sticking to the edge. The more you add - the more nutty/woody the taste.

I think it's more to do that parts of the Hemp plant can be (ab)used for recreational purposes (These properies are not in the oil though.). For this reason, cultivating Hemp is illegal in some countires. BTW how much is in the bottle? 500ml?

Hemp Oil
Hemp seed and oil has been called "Nature’s Perfect Food for Humanity" - a wealth of health for everyone.
The oil can be used as part of a nutritional programme to maintain and improve good health. With a pleasant nutty flavour, Hemp Seed Oil is ideal for use in salad dressings, mayonnaise, dips etc. It is not suitable for frying as this reduces the benefits.
Hemp has had a long-standing relationship with humanity; modern science reveals that it contains all the essential amino acids and essential fatty acids necessary for human life, as well as a rare protein known as globule edestins that is very similar to the globulin found in human blood plasma.
Four years after the Marijuana Tax Act passed in the US, a researcher writing for a 1941 edition of Science lamented the loss of access to the hemp seed's rare and important globule edistins; "Passage of the Marijuana Law of 1937 has placed restrictions upon trade in hempseed that, in effect, amount to prohibition....”
Hemp seeds contain the most balanced and richest natural single source of essential oils for human consumption. The E.F.A.'s not only help to restore wasting bodies, but also improve damaged immune systems, so it is not so surprising that modern researchers have studied them in relationship to the modern immune attacking AIDS virus. (Eidlman, M.D., Hamilton, ED.D, Ph.D 1992).
Hemp oil is natures most balanced oil for human nutrition (3:1 LA to LNA ratio) and is easily digestible; in fact this oil could provide all of our Essential Fatty Acid (EFA) requirements for life, due to the balanced 80% EFA content of the oil.
Research has shown that this nutritional oil was once a part of worldwide dietary intake, as it was one of the first cultivated crops. All natural foods contain some substances, which are essential to life. Oils for example, found in nuts and seeds, contain significantly higher amounts of essential fatty acids than other foods.
Much information about Hemp has been systematically removed from written texts since the 1930's and is now difficult to find. Many of the myths about hemp, perpetuated by governments to this day relating to hemp being a drug crop are incorrect and simply propaganda created to make way for synthetic man made products.
