And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall
be no more consumed with hunger
in the land.
-- Ezekiel 34/29
THE REAL REASON CANNABIS HAS BEEN OUTLAWED HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH ITS EFFECTS ON THE MIND AND BODY.
Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana
does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is
very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco
industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various
big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have
suppressed the truth from the people.
The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of
commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb!
Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential
of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation
about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would
ruin their companies.
Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s,
the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal
history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited
here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia
Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:
* All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the
1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.
* It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631
until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981.
* REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th
Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia
for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial
Virginia, G. M. Herdon.
"I grew Hemp", George Washington
* George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers
GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled
hemp seeds from China to France then to America.
* Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America
and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over
hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow's export to England;
Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.
* For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope
were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis;
Webster's New World Dictionary.
* 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed
sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction
of the cotton gin.
* The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first
drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution
were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.
* The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a
peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest
cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.
* Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in
China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to
ancient Egypt.
* Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early
canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.
* 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 Hemphemp 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.
Hemp
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.
{One personal note: During the pregnancy of my wife, she was
having some difficulty gaining weight. We were in the hospital.
A nurse called us to one side and said: ‘Off the record, if
you smoke pot...you'd get something called the munchies and
you’ll gain weight.' I swear that is a true story}.
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.
