HEMP - Cannabis Sativa / MARIJUANA - Cannabis Sativa.
You can smoke the leaves of a marijuana / hemp plant and you will not
get high and probably get a headache because the THC is in the mature
flowers of a female. You see marijuana is simply the mature flowers /
fruit of the cannabis sativa plant aka hemp. The leaves do not get
you high but are a valuable bio-fuel rescource, 4 times more efficient
than corn and a good rotation crop for corn as well.

>From another 1942 USDA book, Hemp A War Crop we read. "Hemp growing
in the US, which the Bureau of Narcotics in the past has tried to stop
in order to prevent marijuana addiction, is now apparently going to be
allowed and even encouraged as a result of the war." You see
marijuana is simply the mature flowers / fruit of the cannabis sativa
plant aka hemp. The leaves do not get you high but are a valuable bio-
fuel rescource
THE REAL REASON MARIJUANA / HEMP IS ILLEGAL.
In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper
would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down.
Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of
trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department
of Agriculture
* Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until
1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint
products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress
against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.
* Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the
CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was
photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,'
had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger
than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
* Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop
had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular
Mechanics, Feb., 1938.
* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article
entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.'
It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology,
it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the
rest of the world.
The following information comes directly from the United States
Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and
instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp
each year for the war effort:
'...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the
service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had
been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East.
For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the
western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor,
no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable...
...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of
the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy
as well as of our industries...
...the Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American
hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow
lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on
ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas
victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for
victory!'
Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of
Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942
USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist.
Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA
Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with
at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb.
1938:
'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The
long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect
condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12
feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.
...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture
and industry.'
In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an
industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could
have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality
products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of
the Great Depression.
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper
Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of
timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty
Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal
profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and
coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new
petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane,
celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made
from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80%% of
Dupont's business.
THE CONSPIRACY
Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's
primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J.
Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous
Drugs.
Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was
declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises.
For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took
an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the
consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and
1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of
marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned
that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose
morality.
Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of
Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda
designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was
to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.
Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER
MADNESS:
a violent narcotic.
acts of shocking violence.
incurable insanity.
soul-destroying effects.
under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an
ax.
more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs
(heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!
Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film
concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR
CHILDREN.
In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance.
The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They
did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio,
they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their
children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.
On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that
outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means
Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to
the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The
Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont
supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.
Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on
behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that
the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was
that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp.
Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been
reading about on Hearst's front pages was in fact passive hemp. The
AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing
products sold over the last hundred years.
In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known
became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.
Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-
causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31
years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely
violent. In the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism,
Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so
much that soldiers would not want to fight.
Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as
large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and
chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed
if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the
planet's energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We
have consumed 80%% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable
resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices.
THE WONDER PLANT
Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic
chemicals are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp
paper does not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows
quickly to maturity in a season where trees take a lifetime.
ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen
plastics are biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not
harm the environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very
familiar with, help ruin nature; they do not break down and will do
great harm in the future. The process to produce the vast array of
natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont and other
petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the
plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are
safe and natural.
MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when
the AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out
legally to only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced
into a system that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the
human body.
WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be
generated from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of
protein in nature. ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that
clean your body of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not
found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing
you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.
CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong
and durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to
your grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp
clothing; usually 50%% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere.
Instead, they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not
allowed to advertise on fascist television. Kentucky, once the top
hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR hemp clothing! Can you
imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?
The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the
insanity. Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that
includes your children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the
word 'marijuana.' Realize the history that created it. Make it
politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight against the
propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the
bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy
source to save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!
The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars
a day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar
agencies. We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is:
'It's more dangerous than we thought.' Lies from the powerful
corporations, that began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.
The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a
joint, you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot
commercials say: If you buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The
new enemy (terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way THEY
see fit.
There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to;
the war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are
killing the world right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS
EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE
CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER, EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In
the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed
to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of
the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and
placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of
the arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the
arteries...which is a healthy condition. We have been so conditioned
to think that: Smoking is harmful. That is NOT the case for passive
pot.
Ingesting THC, hemp's active agent, has a positive effect; relieving
asthma and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by
chemotherapy. You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of
being.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet,
the truth is one's creative abilities can be enhanced under its
influence. The perception of time slightly slows and one can become
more sensitive. You can more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature
and generally FEEL more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in
fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state.
You can be more aware with pot.
The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that
cannabis is not like any other plant on this planet. One could
conclude that it was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is
the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear
very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in
regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes;
except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly
plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of
grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The
hemp plant has an intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males
before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot
comes from 'horny females.'
The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future
is illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us.....
...POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!
ps: I think the word 'DRUGS' should not be used as an umbrella-word
that covers all chemical agents. Drugs have come to be known as
something BAD. Are you aware there are LEGAL drugstores?! Yep, in
every city. Unbelievable. Each so-called drug should be considered
individually. Cannabis is a medicine and not a drug. We should DARE to
speak the TRUTH no matter what the law is.
