Sat 10-26-91 20:09 (NO KILL) From: Kind Bud To: All Subject: Introduction Hello, and welcome to Kind Bud's Corner. On this sub we'll be discussing the most versatile, profitable, and sustainable natural resource on the planet...Hemp. With well over 50,000 commercial uses, conservative estimates of its' profit potential surpass $500 Billion per year. Industry experts project a 12-fold (or greater) increase in hemp earnings, once the trade barriers are removed and this valuable cash crop is, again, allowed to compete. We'll examine the history of hemp, and it's many uses which include paper(1 acre of hemp = 4.1 acres of trees for pulp), fiber (textiles), food, fuel(bio-mass), cordage, plastics, fabrication ( including fiber- board and other construction materials) medicine, and so forth...Anything petroleum does, Hemp can do better! We'll talk about the REAL reasons behind the hemp prohibition in 1937, and what efforts are being made by the burgeoning H.E.M.P. Movement to put an end to this insane and inhumane law. And, We'll look at what you and I can do locally.... I want to hear what you're thinking (whether pro/con/indifferent). And Questions...I like Questions.

Thanks for telling me about that meeting. Barring death I'll be there. If anybody else want to go, and you live in Aurora, and want to ride with me, let me know. Now on to the subject... The other day my son came home with a nice red ribbon that was insribed "Drug Free and Proud". Now on the face of this it would seem like a good thing. I would just a soon my kids don't get involved with drugs, and stay away from beer and hemp till they are at least sisteen. Sill, I got a very uneasy feeling in the pit of my gut. The cops say (and we know they NEVER lie) that they are not telling kid to turn their parents into the police. Myself, I think that is a bunch of Bull Doody. Where would a ten year old kid get the idea to turnhis parents into the state, if not from the nice officer Friendly of the D.A.R.E. program? I think I have a strong enough relationship with my kids that I don't have to worry about them turning me in. But that dosn't stop the nagging worry sitting in the back of my mind. So, how do I as a parent, sit down my ten year old, a child who should not have to worry about these things and explain to him the facts of life. The goverment's ONLY concern is it's own preservation. The cops are not really your friends. And in no case should he trust either one to tell the truth. I think that's a bit heavy for a kid his age. But now I am faced with having to counter what he is being told in school. If I let it go I am faced with the posibility of him turning me in, (reguardless of weither or not I smoke hemp) or worse yet, the system turning him into another trusting, unquestoning drone. Putting aside the compairison to "1984", a more real life compairison would be Germany in 1937. The schools there also encouraged children to turn their parents into the state.

The cops don't have 'em wearing brown shirts,yet...but it doesn't mean they wouldn't like to. My kids are all in college now, but when they were younger, like yours, I had to maintain a sort of on-going "de-programming" campaign to keep them from being brainwashed....They were able to understand that their teachers weren't necessarily 'bad', just ignorant....I don't think that Colorado had any D.A.R.E. programs then. Just as an aside, the D.A.R.E. program is the brain child of L.A. Top Cop Daryl Gates, who has recieved so much good press lately. Colorado NORML and the Rocky Mtn Hemp Network are putting together a program called Double-Dare where volunteer-parents are demanding equal time in schools to talk paper-fiber-fuel-food-medicine, Bill of Rights, etc....I'll be talking to them today and I'll try to get more info.

I don't agree with you, Kind Bud. I don't see all the uses that you suggest. All I see is that people want the option to smoke THC at any time and any place they wish. Perhaps all those fabrics and fuels and such are possible, but I don't see the supporters of Hemp legalization using it for that now. Most supporters are private users of Hemp and they will not, in my option, change. Legal or not. Let it be said that I also don't support the rights of tobacco smokers. I have learned that inhaling smoke of any kind is unhealthy and should not be advocated. I have also heard that the users of THC are more passive that other people. That is fine for avoiding war; My concern is with the already low nation production rate in the USA. Do we really need an entire work force that is passive? Sorry, but I won't be at any of your rallies. *>>THANATOS<<* Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 13. Thu 10-31-91 16:53 (RECV'D) From: The Foad To: Thanatos Subject: Legalization ALSO SEE: 12. I somewhat agree with you. I think some of the proposed uses for hemp are a bit on the optomistic side. Things such as fuel are still pretty much on the drawing board. And until hemp is legaized, they will stay there. But many things such as food, fabric, paper, medicne, and building materials are not only proven, but they were widely used until Herst and his buddies hatched their scheme. As far as paper.. One acre of hemp can produce as much paper as 4.3 acres of trees. That acre of hemp can be replanted and renewed every year. In some areas of the country it can be havested twice a year. That 4.3 acres of trees can only be harvested every 15 to 30 years. The only chem needed to make paper from hemp is Hyd-porxcide (however the hell you spell it). You don't even want to think abought what goes into wood paper. Have you ever picked up a book that is 50+ years old and wondered why it's in better shape than a book printed twenty years ago? It's because the older book was printed before hemp was outlawed. The hemp paper is acid free. As far a THC users beind docile and worthless... The most sucsessfull person I know smokes hemp. He prefers it to beer, and uses it the same way a mature person uses beer. He is anything but docile. In fact he has recived a number of awards for exelence in his field. But none of this matters, because the instand it were to become public that he smoked hemp, he would be labled a "usless, lazy, no good pervert".

I subscribe to an unusual magazine based in San Diego called The Truth Seeker (Box 2832, San Diego, CA 92112, $20/year). In the latest issue was a good article by Howard Anshell called "Could One Plant Save the Earth". Guess what it was about Nyuk Nyuk! Yuse guys are really getting around Nyuk Nyuk! It said the original draft of the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper, and still exists today. Anyway, I've always believed that all drugs should be decriminalized, even crack cocaine, as long as it's taxed and regulated like tobacco and alcohol. But with the purported value of the hemp plant itself being held back by the anti-drug laws, I gotta say I hope yuse guys keep working hard and fight where it counts in the Congress and the Legislatures -- and win! Maybe if decriminalization starts with this one little step, everybody can see I've been right all along Nyuk Nyuk! In the same mag. was a letter to the editor advocating that the government establish "legal drug stores" which would sell seized drugs at cut rates in direct competition to the street hoodlums...what do you think about that, "Bud"?

You're more than welcome to disagree....however, there are NO studies which indicate that hemp-smokers are any more or less passive or lazy than any other group....and these days, the joint is not the point. Hemp can produce approx. 50,000 commercial products that are practically pollution free. According to the U.S.D.A., one acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees for the production of paper. Hemp paper is dioxine-free. Wood paper making processes release sulfer into the atmosphere. Up until the mid- 19th century, ALL our paper was made from hemp...The first two copies of the Declaration of Independence were made on hemp paper. We all know that Geo. Washington and T. Jefferson grew hemp. Benj. Franklin started the first hemp-paper mill in America. That way, we wouldn't have to justify our use of paper to England. Sailing ships in those days used from 60 to 100 tons of hemp per year. When England blockaded France, Napolean's first move was to invade Russia (which supplied England with 90% of its' hemp) in an effort to cut off England's hemp supply, thus crippling its' navy. An American could pay his taxes with hemp until 1810. In the latter 1800's paper made from wood became the vogue, because at this time it was more labor-effective than hemp. Clothing and other fibers still were made from hemp. Canvas is the Dutch word for cannabis. In the mid-1930's, something happened which got Big-Money worried. A new machine was invented which would make the pulping of hemp very labor- effective. This prompted Popular Mechanics to offer an article about hemp calling it the New Billion Dollar crop. Also, Henry Ford was so convinced that bio-mass was the ONLY way to go as far as fueling cars, he grew hemp on his estate at Iron Mountain for that purpose..As a bio-mass crop, hemp is superior to any including kenaf, corn, or sugar-cane all added in to- gether! At this time William Raldolf Hearst and Kimberly Clarke owned vast timber acreage. DuPont had just patented "nylon", the forerunner of all poisonous plastics, and Big Oil didn't like the sound of this bio- mass business. Fibers which had traditionally been made from hemp could be made with plastics. Hemp can also be made into plastics, and, according to Pop.Mech, it can be made into anything from cellophane to dynamite. Hearst, the Melons and DuPonts held a series of "secret meetings" with '30's drug czar Harry Anslinger and conspired to conduct a smear campaign against hemp in an effort to whip the public into an anti- hemp hysteria. But they did'nt call it hemp...everyone knew what hemp was. Hearst news-papers were the first to call it 'marijuana' and made up all manner of horror stories about it. Anslinger, in his testimony before Congress, said that 'marijuana' was the most violence-inducing narcotic known to man! Hearst papers told of how it was the drug of choice among "mexicans, negros, and entertainers." This campaign was nothing less than a pack of lies designed by the super-rich to rid themselves of their number one competitor...HEMP. The law is called the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act, but after that title, you'll never see the word "marijuana" used in the bill again. It refers only to hemp...after the law was passed, the medical profession wanted to know what happened to cannabis. Cannabis was one of the most useful medicines known. They were not aware that cannabis and "marijuana" were the same thing. 2.5 million people in this country have glaucoma; 10,000 of them are going to lose their vision this year...yet, only 37 people have a legal prescription for this useful herb, which is proven to HALT the advance of glaucoma. It is also known to be useful in treating epilepsy, MS, etc......more on this later.....I've run o ut of time. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 16.

Part Two: Cannabis has many therapeutical applications including glaucoma, MS,MD asthma, anorexia, epilepsy, etc. The medical body of literature on the topic is vast. The government is quite aware of this, yet still classifies "marijuana" as a schedule one narcotic, meaning it has NO KNOWN medical value. This is, of course, a lie. The gov't knows it's a lie, and more importantly, the Big $$$$ who tell the gov't what to think know it is a lie. They simply do not want the competition that hemp would bring into the market place. When hemp is re-commercialized, it's not just going to save the family farm....American farmers are going to PROSPER like they never have in this century! Since you have no plans to visit one of our meetings, you are really unaware of what the hemp movement is doing as regards the commercialization of legal hemp products....these products are how the word is being spread....hemp clothing, hemp-seed oil products including food, bio-mass products, etc. I recently helped Colorado bio-scientist Agua Das set up Colorados first hemp-seed oil press and his products are being stocked on shelves all over the state. You're not going to get much of this info in the "News." I recently filmed a Hemp Rally in Madison,WI where more than 20,000 hempsters attended. Did you hear anything about it on the news back here? ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN were all aware of the event, but didn't manage to mention anything about it. Why? Forty people can act badly in front of an abortion clinic, and it's all over prime time TV. 20,000 people can petition the state for redress of grievances(i.e. re- legalization of a plant that can save the environment and producea 500 Billion Dollar a year industry) and they go completly ignored. Is it because it's not important? No. It's because people are scared. They have a reason to be scared....what's being hyped as a War On Drugs is really a war on you and me.

I'm with you all the way,Big Boy! Actually, I'm for freeing up any commerce or interaction between consenting adults. That means everything. The HEMP movement is such a useful tool in the over-all freedom movement because its' position is unassailable.....paper,fiber,fuel,medicine...it's all documented and cannot be disproved. The D E A quit debating hempster about two years ago....The national HEMP movement offers a $10,000 challenge to anyone who can prove their position to be wrong. For me, the picture is like this: The shit we each put up with everyday makes the McCarthy Era look like a sitcom hoot. Property routinely confiscated without due process, cops being able to do ANYTHING with impunity so long as they say they were acting in good faith, people being led like sheep to go pee in little bottles(you'd think the streets would be filled with folks screaming about that one). Folks are living in a climate of fear and paranoia....some people have been there so long, they don't even know they're scared.

Before getting lost in the many industrial/commercial uses of hemp (50 000 is a LOT), let's look at some of the therapeutic uses of cannabis. My special thanx to UCLA Pulmonary Studies, 1969-1991; UCLA asthma studies, 1969-1976; Cohen,Sidney,&Stillman,"Therapeutic Pontential of Marijuana 1976",Medical College of Georgia; University of North Carolina; National Eye Institute;and very special thanx to Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA... Asthma: Smoking the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant would be beneficial for 80% of asthmatics. More than 15 million Americans are affected, and the use of cannabis would add 30 to 60 million person-years in the aggregate of extended life to current asthmatics in this country alone. The use of cannabis for asthmatics goes back thousands of years in literature; American doctors in the last century wrote about it in their medical papers saying that "asthma sufferes of the world would *bless* the Indian Hemp plant all their lives." In 1991, no American receives or uses *legal* cannabis for asthma, although, according to Dr. Tashkin," Taking a single hit of (cannabis) has been known to stop a full blown asthma attack." Glaucoma: 14% Of all blindness in the U.S. is from glaucoma. Smoking the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant would benefit 90% of all 2.5 million American glaucoma victims. Cannabis is 2-3 times as effective as any current medicines for reducing ocular pressure....also, hemp use has no toxic side effects to the liver/kidneys, and no occasional sudden-death syndromes associated with the *legal* pharmaceutical glaucoma drugs. Eye doctors often advise their glaucoma patients to by illegal black-market street pot to mitigate their toxic *legal* glaucoma medicines. At the current black- market prices of $400+ per oz. this is quite a drain on their pocket book, not to mention living in fear because of their "criminal" activity. When the 1937 Marijuana Tax Stamp Act was passed, one ounce of cannabis was available from the local drugstore for one dollar (!)...in 1991, only 37 Americans have a legal prescription for cannabis. In the Spring of this year George Bush declared that no more prescriptions would be issued, because they don't want to "send the wrong message about marijuana." In 1988 the DEA's own conservative administrative law judge, Francis Young, after hearing 15 days of medical testimony, and reviewing hundreds of DEA documents declared,"Marijuana is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man." Oddly, the DEA continues to list marijuana as a Schedule One narcotic:As having no known medical use. According to NORML, High Times, and OMNI: Eli Lilly Co; Abbott Labs; Pfizer; Smith, Kline & French; and other pharmaceutical companies would lose billions of dollars annually if hemp were legal in the U.S., and even more billions in the Third World. (Some 500,000 people are poisoned each year in Third World countries by drugs, pesticides, etc that are sold to them by American companies, but which are banned for sale in the U.S.) It was because of lobbying by the pharmaceutical companies that cannabis research has been banned by the Feds since 1977 (Ford Administration.) The Reagan/ Bush/Quale boys are absolutey refusing to allow resumption of University marijuana research, and, in fact, sent out a "feeler" in the early '80's to Universities suggesting that they DESTROY all their findings from previous hemp research. Thankfully, many declined. Some of the University studies suggested that cannabis could replace 50% of Valium, Librium, Thrazine(and other 'zine drugs. (According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control in Atlanta 20% - 40% of "-zine" drug users have or will develop permanent lifetime palsies (shakes).) In all of this, it's interesting to note that when George Bush left the CIA in 1977, he was appointed director of Eli Lilly by none other than Dan Quayle's father. Odd, that.

Still, only 37 Americans have a *legal* prescription for a plant which grows wild. In effect, the government is saying to these people,"F*ck you. It's better that you go blind, better that you die in agony, wrapped around a toilet everyday, than for us to change a law which was based on a Big Lie, anyway." Marijuana is also proven to help 60%-80% of those who suffer from epilepsy, MS,MD, and other tremor-related diseases(like Parkinsons). In 1975 the D E A and the Nat'l Health Instute directed the Medical College of Virginia to conduct studies on the smoking of the herb in hopes of finding possible immunicological problems associated with marijuana. Instead, researchers were surprised to find that the herb was incredibly successful in reducing many malignant and benign tumors! A dissapointed D E A then issued orders to CEASE all further cannabis/tumor research and reporting. Hemp plants also provide extractions called cannabidiolic acids. These acids are a natual antibiotic that can be used to treat a variety of ailments(indluding gonorrhea, etc). According to Czechoslovakian Studies, any disease or infection that can be treated with terramycin, cannabis derivatives will do better. Thankfully, the Czechs still publish farm crop reports on strategies to grow Cannabidiol-rich hemp. The medicinal uses of this natural herb go on and on(arthritis,rheumatism, blood pressure,emphysema,migraines, stress, anorexia, etc.) We have been robbed of fifty years worth of real medical research, as well as research&developement as regards paper,bio-mass fuel, textiles,plastics, food, and on and on and on....

Short Term Memory ....uh....Loss, Yeah...Right...OK!... I believe you are referring to conclusions drawn from the Heath/Tulane University studies in 1974. The short-term memory loss allegations stem from those studies, and a lot of other erroneous bullsh*t as well... The Official Version goes like this: An impartial Dr. Heath concluded that Rhesus monkeys, smoking the equivalent of "only" 30 joints a day began to atrophy and die after 90 days. He then opened the brains and counted the brain cells; next, he took control monkeys who hadn't smoked, killed them, and counted their brain cells. The pot smoking monkeys had enormous amounts of dead brain cells as compared to the "straight" monkeys. This prompted Reagan to say"The *most reliable scientific* sources say permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of marijuana!".....Now, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story: It took Playboy Press/NORML six years of suing under the Freedom of Information Act to finally get an accurate accounting of the research proceedures used in the experiment: The monkeys were strapped into chairs and then strapped into gas-masks and given the equivalent of 63 Columbian strength joints in five minutes thru the gas-masks, with no smoke escaping. In other words, they were suffocating. Carbon Monoxide (given off by any burning object) is a deadly gas that kills brain cells. The Heath/Tulane report is a study in animal asphyxiation, carbon monoxide poisoning, and human cruelty. You could achieve the same results if you locked yourself in your garage and ran your car for 15 minutes every day. I can only speak from personal experience...When I returned from my four-year, government sponsored, all-expense paid vacation in Southeast Asia in the early '70's, I was quite familiar with the herb. I enjoyed it just about every day. I returned to college and finished with a straight-A average, and didn't find it much of a challenge at all. This, while working full time and supporting a family. I now own my own business, have three kid in college, and am still married to the same woman I started out with. I don't think this indicates brain damage....(well, except the part about being married.) When my personal experience flows contrary to Consensus Reality, I'll stick with my personal experience, thankyou. Any caring adult is going to feel badly about the tragedy you have to deal with every day, but the fact is, those poor souls each made an error in judgement. And, to be blunt, if they had stayed at home and smoked a joint, instead of going out and driving like drunk maniacs, lives would have been saved and they wouldn't be in a half-way house. Fact is, the hysteria that passes for a drug policy has f*cked up more people than all the half-way house denizens put together. the United States has a larger percentage of its' citizens in prison than ANY other country in the world. #2 is South Africa. Do you think that means the U.S. has a higher percentage of Bad Guys than any other country? I don't think so, yet Bush wants to build more and more prisons. As far as the media is concerned....the press can't completely ignore what is becoming the biggest movement of the decade. I didn't say that. I just find it odd that they ignored the Madison rally where 20,000 people protested the insane drug laws. We have to remember, Than, that many of the largest publishers have direct holdings in timberland for paper, and the pharmaceutical drug, petrochemical companies, etc. are among the media's major advertisers. It's the Golden Rule: whoever has the Gold makes the Rules. Hemp for paper/bio-mass fuel has been rather successful in Europe for several years, now. (Funny that Kimberly Clarke is so involved there, since they were behind hemp prohibition in this country in the '30's.) It may comfort you to know, Thanny, that the particular strains of hemp being grown there make for lousy smoking. Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp recently sent a delegation over there to study the farming methods, pulping proceedures, etc. A couple of their less intrepid delegates bravely volunteered to sample some of the flowers/leaves. The only result they reported was "a mild, but annoying head-ache." It's not a matter of IF hemp will be re-legalized, but when, and which state will be the first. A 500 Billion dollar a year industry cannot be ignored, especially with the state of our economy. The current illicit revenues from hemp (black-market) are about 45-60 Billion annually. This is ridiculous because 1. Our farmers are not getting any of this cash, and 2. The leaves and flowers are ...The...Least...Valuable...Part...Of...this...Plant!

Although this information has been around in bits and pieces for quite some time, it's just recently that it's been put together in a complete package....the concept is new. The Wall St. Journal ran a front page story on hemp in May..."What Is as Versatile as the Soybean But Illegal Anyway?"

Both these articles are a major step forward for hemp...it's a battle for peoples' minds and it's going to take a while....but it seems like everywhere you turn, hemp information is popping up! Right now it's a grass-roots(nyuk?) effort. Last year there were about 3-4 suppliers of legal hemp products in the U S and now there's over 20. The Institute for Hemp has obtained the necessary permits from the Minnesota Dept. of Agriculture to grow 100 acres of hemp in 1992. Rocky Mtn Hemp is opening a Hempwear, etc store in a mall at 1090 S. Wadsworth.

How is giant tree farmer going to sell his product when hemp is more easily grown on a small scale? The bottom line is that 500 billion a year won't be made by the giant corporations, but by the little farmer who gets back on his feet, the sick people who save money on their medicine, in general the little guy.

Add Section #________ to the Health and Safety Code of Colorado any laws or policies to the contrary not withstanding: (1) Persons, 18 years or older, shall not be prosecuted, be denied any right or privilege, nor be subject to criminal or civil penalties for the cultivation, transportation, distribution, or consumption of: (a) Industrial hemp products. Hemp farmers and manufacturers of industrial hemp products shall not be subject to any special zoning or licensing fees that are discriminatory or prohibitive. (b) Hemp medicinal preparations. (c) Hemp products for nutritional use. (d) Hemp products for personal use. No permit or license may be required for non-commercial cultivation, transportation, distribution, or consumption of any hemp product. There are then 10 paragraphs and sub paragraphs dealing with definitions and taxation methods. One deals with retroactive amnesties and clearing of criminal records.....then it goes on: IV. No Colorado law enforcement personnel or funds shall be used to assist enforcement of federal cannabis/marijuana laws governing cannabis/marijuana related acts which are no longer illegal in the state of Colorado. V. The legislature, the Govenor, and the Attorney General are directed to challenge federal cannabis/marijuana prohibitions which conflict with this act. VIII.Within 120 days following the passage of this act the legislature shall fund, from law enforcement savings hereby generated, an advisory panel to study the feasibility and methods of making restitution to all persons who were imprisoned, fined or had private properties forfeited as a result of criminal or civil actions for cannabis/marijuana related acts which are hereby no longer illegal. ... It then goes on to explain how the monies for restitution are to be obtained from new tax revenues on hemp, etc. This will only be a state law, and will not stop the feds...federal law will have to be changed, also.

When it's re-legalized, then we'll also see the more famous big-money people jumping on the band wagon and probably pretending it was their idea.

For other companies which aren't into Oil and Pharmaceuticals, being in the forefront of this movement is not attractive because it is anathama in the eye of the public. The public has to be made aware of the truth about hemps' usefulness before it is acceptable. The hemp movement is about education...it is old information put into a new integrated awareness. A hemp economy will resemble Toffler's third wave of a decentralized global community. The $500 billion figure is an estimate from the Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp's studies into the use of hemp for 50,000 existing commercial products.

FIJA stands for the Fully Informed Jury Alliance. This is a national organization started by a couple of freedom minded patriots in Montana, of all places. It's purpose is, ostensibly, to get laws passed in each state requiring judges to inform juries of their right to practice what is known as "Jury Nullification." I say 'ostensibly' because I think their real purpose is to educate the public of the fact that we all have the right to nullify law when we sit on a jury. Jury nullification means that when you sit on a jury, you're not only judging the guilt or innocence of the accused, you're also judging the law which the accused is charged with breaking. If you think the law is a bad one, or if you think that it is a good law being misapplied, then you have the right (and obligation) to vote for an acquital regardless of the facts of the case (even if the accused was caught "red-handed"). The right of jury-nullification goes back to the days of the Magna-Carta and has been traditionally practiced in this country. It is the ultimate of our checks and balances to keep an oppressive gov't from passing laws of which we disapprove. In American case law (Georgia v. Brailsford 1794) the concept was codified by Chief Justice John Jay. So how come we haven't heard about it lately? Because in 1964 (in a case involving draft-card burning as protest to the Viet Nam war) the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that jurors were no longer to be informed of this right by any officer of the court(including both prosecuting and defense attorneys.) We still have the right of nullification....it's just that the court doesn't have to tell us about it during the course of a trial, anymore. So what? So this. If called to be a juror, you won't have to send anyone to jail for violating hemp laws! (or any other law with which you disagree.) All it takes is one juror to hang a jury. In fact, during the last four yeats of alcohol prohibition, half of all such trials ended in acquitals or hung juries due to juries excercising their right of jury nullification. This helped bring alcohol prohibition to a grinding halt. We must send the same signal about hemp-prohibition. Refuse to send your bro's and sis's to jail! Right now, in Kentucky (traditionally a hemp- growing state) somewhere between one-third to one-half of hemp cultivation cases being brought to trial do not end in convictions because of jury nullification! We may be in a police-state now, with the Bill of Rights being destroyed through Drug-War hysteria, but we still have enough of the tools of freedom left to fight back and win this thing. And we have to win. The quality of life for us and our kids depends on our victory. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 59.

I've been puzzling about why some folks have a hard time with the potential high-buck projections (such as the $500 billion I mentioned a few msgs back) concerning hemp. Big Boy isn't the only one with a "?" over his head. I assume no one will object if I try to clear this up.... If the Hemp-fairy waved its wand tonight and hemp was completely legal tomorrow for all its applications, we would not have an instant "new" $500 billion to play with. This high figure is based on the Replacement of an entire fossil-fuel industry, the *replacement* of and industry based on wood-for-paper, the replacement of most wood for construction, the replacement of about 50% of the pharmaceuticals presently on the market, the replacement of cotton, plastic, toxic paints and varnishes, and on and on. It would mean the replacement of the synthetic with the natural, and the replacement of our present way of thinking. It would call for, what amounts to, a Hemp-based economy. Unrealistic? It all depends on your point of view. My point of view is: It's unrealistic to continue depending on fossil-fuels when industry studies project that 80% of our oil reserves will be used up by the turn of the century; it's unrealistic to continue the planned de-forestation of the planet and all that ensues. I think it's unrealistic to continue to crank out non-biodegradable plastics and other poisons. Unrealistic to expect farmers to suffer and atrophy on $150-$200 per acre crops, when hemp could bring them $400- $600 per acre today. Unrealistic to have an economy based on anything other than sustainable-renewable-agricultural products. Look at the box that holds your CRT, your CPU, and look at your keyboard....everything you see there(except the CRT) could be made with Hemp grown by an American farmer! We have to change the way we think in order to survive. And I'm no gloomy doomsayer....We will survive. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 64.

Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs of March 30,1961-International Treaty on 'Marijuana' Production & Law. This was pushed through the U.N. by the U.S. and maintains the fiction that 'Marijuana' is a Schedule One Narcotic, meaning it has NO KNOWN medicinal value. Since that time the U.S. has "paid" many third world countries to abide by this treaty and criminalize the commercial production of hemp. Singapore used to produce extremely fine hemp-cloth, but at the behest of our govt made its' cultivation a capital offense in 1971. But it would be a mistake to think that other countries are not jumping on the hemp bandwagon. Italy, France, Spain, Denmark, Holland, and China are currently producing hemp for paper, bio- mass and textiles. Kimberly Clark is involved in France's hemp-pulp industry. The industry is new(at least in Europe) but it must be making sense to somebody. Last April, Russia sent an agricultural delegation to Minnesota to meet with John Birenbach of the institute for hemp. Their purpose was to re-learn hemp cultivation and processing proceedures. I say "re-learn" because Russia was a leading producer of hemp back in the 19th century. Russia is getting back into hemp production and they are dead-nuts serious. As to the $500B/yr, no it is not all a replacement figure. There would be immediate increase in GNP with the introduction of hemp cultivation/ production and serveral thousand new jobs.

Any of the organizations I've posted will be more than happy to help you learn about hemp. "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer is an excellent source book. B.A.C.H has a lot of practical info for getting into the legal hemp business. 2. Talk about hemp to friends, family, co-workers and everybody. Never get tired and never be ashamed. Just say you think hemp should be made legal again. You'll be amazed at how many agree. Talk about medical marijuana, free choice and non-smoking commercial hemp(rope, paper, fabric, fuel, oil, food, etc.) Be proud of what you believe! This is America. Remember, you're in good company: Both Washington and Jefferson were hemp farmers. Pretend the entire movement rests on your shoulders. Never get tired of talking about hemp. 3. Photocopy literature to pass out and send with your letters. Rubber Stamps are available for your envelopes. 4. Write letters to your elected officials, newspapers, magazines, TV& radio stations. Be brief and clear. I'll be posting some "sample" letters soon. 5. Help out a local group. Attend meetings. Make phone calls, do office work, fold and mail literature, etc. Offer your special skills (like data entry, research, speaking, art, organizing, copying, etc). 6. Donate money to local groups. Contribute SUPPLIES or postage! All groups need access to free or cheap printing services. Donate books and magazines subscriptions to schools and libraries. Later on in the Spring, we'll be needing Billboard space, etc. 7. Never let a lie (marijuana causes brain-damage, etc) to go by. Stand up and correct people when they speak ill of this plant. 8. Register to vote! You have to be a registered voter to sign the Hemp Initiative petition. Voting also gets you on the prospective jurors list and may afford you an opportunity to excerice the right of jury-nullification in a hemp-law case. We have the power to STOP sending good people to jail! 9. Stay positive and be happy! We live in exciting times. Great things are afoot! You have an opportunity to live the patriotic rhetoric we've all grown up with. Use the method of CONVERSION rather than confrontation. Trust that people are capable of making the right decision when given all the information. 55% of Coloradoans are in favor of re-legalizaton NOW! It's up to us to educate the public about medicine/paper/fiber/fuel/food/non-toxic paints and varnishes, etc. Once this information is learned, it cannot be ignored.

I've been advocating the legalization of hemp for years and years. When you consider how addictive nicotine is (and destructive), it almost makes me ashamed to call myself an American. Here we have so many other legal chemicals that cause lung cancer, liver damage, etc., yet a harmless substance like hemp is stuck in the same "tarnished" corner as coke, crack, heroin, et all. However, despite the recent decade of conservative rulings, I see (and hear) more and more people beginning to see the hypocracy of such laws. I'm working every avenue that I can to help with the legalization and taxation of hemp, from discussions with friends and coworkers, to letters to state and federal legislators. I will not stop! The savings and benefits of legalized hemp are enormous. The first (and obvious) savings are the elimination of the so-called "drug war", which would allow budget funds to be used for more important social issues. Taxing hemp might prove to be lucrative enough to help destroy our staggering deficit. Ah, the ramifications boggle the mind. Anyway, enough flogging on my part.

Hemp is a fiber yielding plant which has been cultivated for 12,000 years. These days it's more popularly known as marijuana, a term coined by the Hearst newspapers during the smear campaign of the 30's. It can be made into just about any kind of cloth from the coarsest canvas (the Dutch word for cannabis) to elegant silk-like materials. The famous old Irish linens were originally made from hemp. The original long-lasting Levi's jeans were made from hemp. Unlike cotton, on which 50% of our agricultural pesticides/herbicides are used, hemp requires no such poisons. Hemp can be made into long-lasting paper so we can save our forests. Hemp can be made into fuel for energy to run our cars/homes/factories. It will yield from 20-60 barrels methanol fuel per acre, making it the #1 bio-mass source. The Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp estimates that it can provide 90% of our energy. We don't need nuclear power and we don't have to go to war in the Gulf again. Hemp, as medicine, has hundreds of uses. It is saving thousands of lives. Chemo-therapy and AIDS therapy produce what is called a "Wasting Syndrom"....patients lose their appetite and are plagued by a terrible nausea which hinders the use of oral medications. Smoking the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant stops the nausea, revives their appetite and lets them live. 10,000 glaucoma sufferers can save their vision by smoking hemp(10,000 per year in this country alone.) Hemp seeds yield cheap and plentiful food-stuffs, more versatile than the soybean. It can cheaply and quickly feed the starving people of this country and the third world. Not ten years from now. This could be a reality in less than a year, after hemp is relegalized. Anything petroleum makes, can be made from hemp. It can be made into plastic, etc. It can be made into fiberboard and other construction materials. With a profit potential of $500-$700 (or higher) per acre, it will save family farms. I believe our success in the coming century depends on our stewardship and utilization of this God-given miracle plant. I have also heard that smoking the leaves and flowers of this plant produces a mild-but-enjoyable relaxing effect. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 122.

The best thing about hemp info is that once you learn it, you can't forget it. You can't make it go away. It is turning thousands of people into dedicated activists.

A friend of mine in local broadcasting told me of a recent AP newservice wire he recently saw. In W. Palm Beach FLA Fed Judge James C. Paine called for re-legalization of cannabis and other substances in his address to the Federal Bar Assn (I'm guessing the Fed Bar is for Fed Judges...not to be confused with the A B A.) He drew parallels between the current prohibition and the old Alcohol Prohibition, and said:"Trying to wage war on 23 million Americans who are obviously very committed to certain recreational activities is not working." The report said that other judges in attendance were "intrigued" by the concept. In 1988 DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis L. Young recommended that marijuana be reclassified as a Schedule II drug:"Based upon the facts established in this record and set out above, one must reasonably conclude that there is accepted safety for use of marijuana...To conclude otherwise, on this record, would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious..."

I do respect him and the other officers I have met personally. Please do not take this as an all encompassing endorsement for all officers. There are bad apples in each walk of life.

I got a private message t'other day by user Andy Weiss, I think he really wanted it to go in this sub, so I'm quoting it in full. He must have just read the One Plant article off the Bulletin menu. Very interesting argument. Here are some counter facts. The rain forests are being demolished for grazing land for cattle not paper production. Increased CO2 follows global warming, it isn't a cause this is a documented fact I just read in this months edition of either Scientific American or Discover. As far as relief goes for medical conditions I'd rather be cured, not temporarially relieved. Didn't China use opium for relief in the 1800's as it was heading to be a world power and ended up a third world pit with a majority of it population laying in opium dens? Yes, I do know pot isn't nearly as addictive as opium, but the similiarity is there. Hemp would make great jeans, shirts, jackets, or whatever. I'd gladly pay less for a pair of jeans that lasted much longer than cotton while being just as comfortable if not more comfortable. Poeple who are against drugs see your argument as a little step in the legalization of pot because they believe that members of NORML want to be able to smoke some thunder fuck or skunk weed without the threat of jail a lot more than they're interested in glaucoma or cancer patients. And legalizing pot is just a step in the legalization of all drugs. That's what some people believe and they are as scared of drugs as they are of change be it for the better or worse. The government falls under this catagory. I heard about how we paid the Chinese gov't to destroy some of their large hemp fields and in the process 3 species of birds that needed the large hemp fields to live were exterminated. I have friends who like to smoke pot and I've heard all the pro's, a lot more than the ones you've listed, and I've also heard the con's. One of my friends who really likes it thinks that its being illegal is good. He's knows too many people who, once they get some can't help themselves, they just sit there and smoke it till it's gone. I know a nurse who says she'd smoke it if it was legal but being professional and a member of a medical clinic, it would look real bad if she got busted, won't. bou has she got some stories of the days before she became professional. and the pictures of her fields too boot . I also know that there is much less violence as concerts when pot is plentyfull in the county as there is when pot is scarce. One of my friends who likes to smoke it tells me that he'll never go to a hemp rally. I don't know about the ones out here in Colorado, but the ones in Michigan are attended by 14 year olds in heavy metal t-shirts, 60's rejects and 60's wanna-bee's (his words). He says they hurt the cause more than they help it. Then a picture of the worst looking ones end up in the news paper to further convince every one else the pot destroys lives. It may sound like I've gone about a 180 degree turnabout, or was it 270 , either way I don't think NORML is going to mke a difference, especially with all the bad publicity that crack and gang violence is giving drugs even though crack is in no way similiar to pot. Is NORML trying to grow hemp for industry. The way I see it NORML isn't doing anything. It wants to legalize high THC pot. It's fighting big government and I don't think it has any chance of winning. Why doesn't it propose to grow low THC hemp in a prototype industry and produce some tough, cheap, comfortable cloth; oil; and food? I've rambled on long enough.

But we line in a country were not having that attitude has proven leathal to many. As far as the D.A.R.E. program, the officers flat out lie to the children, and they use their postion of authority to convince children to search their homes and turn their parents in if they find anything. Officers regularly take the possession of private citizens without So much as even filing charges. I could go on and on, but that would be pointless. I still stand by my belief that anybody who trusts a cop is a fool. As far a having friends that are cops.. I have many friends that are cops, I also have many friends, that like myself, didn't like the direction things are going, so they quit being cops. Did you know that there were eight bank robberies in the Denver area last week? The reason nobody hears about them is the cops on't give a diddly about them. What counts is taking the most property, and putting the most "junkies" in jail. In a survey taken a few months ago of children who had compleated the D.A.R.E. programing, there was a question about the job of the police officer. "What is the job of a police officer (A) To arrest people who break the law (B) To protect people 87 percent of the children answered "A". Mabye it's just a matter of semantics.

ALSO SEE: 183. Hi, Andy...welcome to the discussion. You've raised some interesting points, and I'd like to jump in and address them, if I may... |Rain forests are being demolished for grazing land for cattle, not for |paper... The destruction of the Brazilian includes agriculture as well as other timber-related enterprises. The Indonesian and South-East Asian rainforests are being decimated by the Japanese at an alarming rate strictly for traditional timber purposes. Our own North American forests are also in danger...According to the Dept. of the Interior, over 50% of our forests have been cut in the last half-century. The average age of an American tree is just under 8 years. Last spring, Wisconsin paper mills began receiving shipments of Brazilian Eucalyptus pulp to be made into paper. These are dollars that should be going to American farmers. A lot of sulfer acids are needed to pulp wood for paper...dioxins are released into the atmosphere and ground water. Hemp can be pulped using 1/5 to 1/7th the harmful chemicals needed to pulp wood. Roughly half the pesticides/herbicides used in agriculture are used on cotton, again seeping into our ground water supply....hemp needs no such poisons, and can be grown on marginal land where little else grows. |As far as relief goes for medical conditions, I'd rather be cured, not |temporarily relieved. I doubt you'd find any dissenters among the millions of people suffering from cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, MS, MD, epilepsy, asthma, anorexia, et al. Until those miracle cures are found, it's our responsibility to see to it that every American who needs marijuana for medicine recieves it immediately. To do anything less is worse than inhumane..it's insane. |I know pot is not nearly as addictive as opium... Right. I see no parallels between marijuana and opium, either, though alcohol and tobacco would certainly fit in that category: both are addictive and deadly. There is not a single marijuana induced death on record. |Hemp would make great jeans, shirts, jackets, etc. I'd gladly... Check out Hempware, etc, 1090 S Wadsworth, Unit D...Colorado's first full-blown hempery...hemp clothing, and other hemp products, including a brand of hempseed-oil called "Happy Hempster!" There is a reading room and video selection in the back of the store...you can view "Hemp For Victory!", a WWII propaganda film produced by the Dept. of Agriculture, encouraging farmers to grow 400,000 acres of hemp for the war effort. A lot of the "ditch-weed" found in the midwest is the progeny of that effort. While at Hempware, etc, you can sit and read "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" by Jack Herer....the bible of the contemporary hemp movement. Or just drop by and say hi to Connie, who owns the store....she's an outspoken and patriotic lady, a true bulwark of the movement. She suffers from glaucoma and is full of info about the commercial/industrial/medical applications of cannabis hemp. Hempware, etc is open from 10 am to 8 pm Monday thru Saturday. |People who are againts drugs...believe that members of NORML want to be |able to smoke some Thunderfuck or Skunkweed without the threat of jail. At least we have no trouble getting that portion of our message across. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are not priveleges to be taken away at the whim of some petty despot...They are inalienable rights, and worth fighting for. It's not unreasonable for productive, responsible individuals to expect to be able to enjoy this herb without fear of imprisonment, property forfeiture and financial ruin. Drug War Hysteria has violated every one of our Bill of Rights, with the exception of Article III, the quartering of troops. Hemp is as much a freedom-movement, as an evironmental/economic/medicinal one. I believe if we don't fight for our freedom in this last decade of the 20th century, we probably won't have any in the next century. I think we'll win, because America is the country that started it all. |I don't think NORML is going to make a difference...Is NORML trying to grow hemp for industry?

People are ready to learn the truth about hemp and what it can do for our economy. And, there's never been a better time than the present for it's relegalization.

Because it;s ILLEGAL to grow hemp. That's what this is all about. After a two year battle, John Birrenbach of the Institute for Hemp (St. Paul) has finally obtained the necessary permits from the Minnesota Department of Agriculture to grow 100 acres of Hemp in 1992. Now, he has to battle the feds to obtain THEIR permits, so that he can possess viable seed in order to plant the hemp. (Probably several more years in court.) A Russian agricultural delegation met with John last spring to learn hemp-harvesting/pulping methods. Russia was a leading producer of hemp in the last century, and are planning to get back into its production again.(Napolean invaded Russia to cut off Englands hemp supply.) Bill I. of Hemp Environmental Activists (Michigan State University) is also attempting to obtain the necessary permits for Hemp farming. The battle is being waged all across the country as the movement gains momentum. Jim Young, technical editor of PULP & PAPER Magazine (a wood-pulp industry rag) recently wrote an article:"It's Time To Reconsider Hemp." (June 1991) I also recommend a look at the May 2, 1991 WALL STREET JOURNAL's front page arcticle by Sonia L. Nazario:"What Is As Versatile As The Soybean But Illegal Anyway?"

We have many file areas with lots of information on the benefits of hemp as well as excerpts from Jack Herer's book dealing with the history of the hemp plant. It's great to see more BBS's willing to handle the question of legalization and ending the drug war. Right now, the Maryland Marijuana Movement is busy organizing the state capitol for an initiative like Proposition P in San Francisco.

The Libertarian Party O' Boulder County meets at the James Pub the second Sunday of each month, 2:00 pm. Just starting a campus group at CU, which will probably be a branch of Students for Individual Liberty (SIL) which is affiliated with the International Society for Individual Liberty. We're hoping that this will attract students who ordinarily join a purely political group, since the ISIL has worldwide prestige while still remaining libertarian in a very upfront kind of way. They also publish a number of position papers such as "Ending our Drug Nightmare", written by Jarret Wollstein, which shows the benefits of ending the WOD by legalization. Hope to see you again soon, just checked out the HEMP shop in Lakewood, looking pretty good! Our Libertarian pal Steve was recently busted on four misdemeanors, including failure to produce a license on demand by a police officer, no registration, driving on suspended license, and failure to produce proof of insurance. When the cop pulled Steve over, he asked Steve for his license and Steve refused, citing his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self incrimination. The cop told him that he was "technically under arrest", so Steve told him that if that was the case, he demanded counsel, a Fourth Amendment Search Warrent, and probable cause, whereupon the cop escorted him to jail after searching his car. At the jail, Steve again demanded counsel and a phone call. The jailer told him that he "had been watching too much tv". Anyhow, Steve was arraigned Thursday. We had worked up a brief, refusing jurisdiction and claiming violation of Constitutional rights, but never got to use it! Apparently, the DA had read the police report and realized what we were up to. All charges were dropped except for failure to produce license, and when Steve plead Not Guilty, they said they'd drop that one too. Smash the State! Steve can still sue under Title 42 of the USC, and we're looking into that. This all came about through taking the Barrister Inn school of Common Law, and we haven't even finished it yet! We plan to open a school in Boulder soon, to let people know what their rights really are, and how they can sue for big bucks when the police invariably violate these rights. The secret lies in claiming all your rights while waiving none, which is what they try to get you to do when they arrest you. It takes a lot of studying, but knowing your rights can keep you out of jail! Hope to see you soon, xxxoo Mongo. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 170.

I agree with a lot of what you said. I know how devastating the paper industry is to the environment. Hemp would reduce that burden on the biosphere. "chuck a spear or two to help put it out of its misery." OUR government fills a lot of OUR needs. I think anyone who is looking to put the government out of its misery is going to lose. I believe that the gov't has reached critical mass years ago and is now growing beyond our control or its control. Isn't the gov't the largest employer in the state? There are two things that scare me about our gov't. First more and more people are relinquishing responsibilities. To keep order someone or something must accept responsibility. Here the gov't is willing to 'serve the people', except with responsibilities the people are also giving up rights. Secondly, the gov't also creates jobs where none are needed. While this may be nice for some politician to be able to say "I created 250 jobs for my constituents last year" and it may be nice for the worker who got the job, the odds are that job will be involved in the regulation of something that wasn't regulated the year before. That results in a greater tax burden for me that I don't want and it also may limitsomething that I may want to do. I've seen assholes at work create positions underneath them to enlarge their departments and stroke their egos. "I now head the largest department" they say. Yea, but all they do is sit on their ass and the people under them play pocket pool all day because there is nothing to do I know politicians do this and WE are their cash cow. they lie to us and take our money. I'm glad some of the gov't is there and I don't mind or should I say I accept, paying taxes for the things that I need. I believe, though, that I pay a lot of taxes for things that I don't need or want.----I seem to be going off on a tangent, but I'll finish it. Soon, how soon(who knows) there will be enough people dependent on the gov't that there will be no reducing it.

Both times he had to bail out of his plane, he floated safely to earth on a parachute made out of hemp. In fact, note just the chute, but the cords, and pack were also hemp. The time his plane caught fire on the flight deck, the hoses that put him and his plane out were made of hemp. The uniform that kept his equipment from getting shot off, was made out of hemp. There is a Propaganda film from WWII called "Hemp For Victory". The war department tried to claim that they never made any such film, but they were, of course, lieing. It's aimed at farmers, telling them how inportant it was to grow hemp (Note: they didn't call it Marajwan) for the war effort.

Connie's store (HEMPwear etc..) got exposure on both radio and tv. What started out as a consumer call to Tom Martineo, turned in to a great education spot. That lead to getting the lead story on that evenings News. No mention of the movement or the initiative, but at least a 100,000 people who didn't know that hemp has more than one use, now know better. Initaly, Tom didn't think the whole thing was for real, so we got an education pack over to him, which he opened and talked about on the air. That led to a news story on Channel 4. The lead story included a interview with Connie, several good examples of hemp products, and footage from "Hemp for Victory" (1942 Pro-Hemp USDA film) Also, I just want to say thanx to all the people who showed up for the big rally monday morning. ............ NOT!!!!!! Comon people, get off your butts and help out. We can sit here and jerk each other off on the BBS all day, and come Novemer we will still be going to jail for lighing and enjoying the herb. O2 producing trees will still be cut down at the rate of thousands of acers a day to make paper. We will still be using millions of gallons of toxic chemicals to grow cotton. And millions of gallions of even more toxic pesticides trying to kill off the ditch weed growing around the country, and to kill off the people who minght try and smoke it. Glocoma(sp?) sufferers will still be faced with a choice of going blind, or breaking the law. If you want change, you got to make change happen. Making excuses makes nothing happen. So you say you don't know what you can do to help. Well, first get registered to vote. It's not hard, takes no more than ten minutes. Sign the damm petition, YES your one single signature will count, and YES you vote will matter. Telling yourself otherwise is just a lazy cop-out. Call Connie at 935-6410, ask her what you can do. The poor woman is running herself ragged trying to get YOU the right to use hemp, without getting sent to jail and having all you belongings stolen by the government. Write letters to your state legislators. Tell them that not only do you want the law changed, you don't want them circumventing the peoples will after we get it changed. BUY and USE hemp products. I know they are more expensive, but every person wearing a hamp shirt, or using hemp flour, or any other hemp product is living, walking, indisputable proof that hemp is a better way.

Still, if you can get your word out grassroots style then the big papers and TV might not be able to manipulate opinion against you in the week before the election like the fatcats want.

The birds paid no heed to the Swallow's words, and by the time the hemp grew up and was made into cord, and of the cord nets were made, and many a bird that had despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made out of that very hemp.

Tue 3-17-92 3:43 (RECV'D) From: Cyberskunk Jones To: Big Boy Subject: Hemp and CO2 ALSO SEE: 131. Burning methanol (in place of gasoline) emits one third the CO2 as does petroleum. Using hemp to make methanol is the best idea because of hemp's high yeild of cellulose, the basis of methanol fuel. Hemp seed oil, used in a Diesel motor, would have a different emission level, unknown to me. But methanol has one third the CO2 as does gasoline. Of course, methanol would be a transitional fuel moving toward hydrogen/solar, or some other low-impact renewable resource. Also, the argument for hemp takes on a greater importance in light of what some have called "Global Supercrisis." To some of us tree-huggers it's obvious, but there are a whole lot of problems in a whole lot of areas -- all coming together into a big threat to our continued survival as a civilization and perhaps as a species. The greenhouse effect, ozone/chlorine cycle, and toxic waste are three global aspects to this "Supercrisis." There are many more aspects, each as potentially devastating. Economics, politics, and social values are all bound up together in this Supercrisis; it's not just an "environmental" thing. The reason I'm hammering this point in is because HEMP, if used properly and used immediately, is capable of solving so many (if not all) of our problems. The figure quoted earlier, $500 Billion, may seem like an underestimate in a future socioeconomic system based on hemp to the extent to which our today is based on petroleum. This is not only possible, there are many of us who are starting to think it's imperative. ALSO: All the hemp feilds and ever-regenerating forests worldwide would act as CO2 "sinks," trapping vast quantities of CO2 in their lifespans. Also, the oceans would continue to contain plankton and other organisms which would continue to absorb CO2, instead of potentially depleting by orders of nagnitude because of the synergism of oceanwater toxicity, degenerating ozonosphere, and possible temperature changes. In order to stop the chlorine cycle and head off ozone destruction a century from now (one molecule of chlorine destroys 100,000 molecules of ozone in a hundred -year cycle) we need to stop using the stuff to make paper. In order to stop deforestation, one of the things we need to do is stop cutting down trees for paper products. Here, as well as everywhere else, hemp is the common-sense choice for saving the Earth.

I'm beginning to see hemp as a "keystone" element which is needed now to support the arch of civilization, threatening collapse. Hemp is Right, hemp is Moral, in the very highest sense, both utilitarian and deontological. Blah blah blah -- it's the right thing to do. Information is the only weapon hemp-o-philes have against all the money, rules, and enemies of The People who are anti-hemp for whatever reasons. Information: education, Truth-telling, ready facts, and just the whole rap what gives the Hemp Movement power: but it must be scholarly information, as Jack Herer has presented, all mucho well-documented and readily available. The media says: ". . . which they say can replace petroleum. . . " or somesuch bombastic claims. The facts are there, in theory and in big, round numbers, but it must be quantified, and if it really is, then folk need to see it point blank. This ever-increasing information has been spread all around the country heavily in the last couple of years, and it's obvious that this country is at least ambivalent on the issue, even though the third of Coloradoans who toke is like one third of the total population -- a political majority. This is strange, and I wonder what really holds people back who know friends who smoke, and tolerate it, but won't lift a pen to advocate what's right. This country was built on hemp, by people who had little else but hemp and horses to base a technology on before the age of steam. To reclaim hemp for America is not only one of the most patriotic things we can do, but also one of the very best (probably crucial) things we can do, right now, for our planet. People who don't support hemp, I belive, are sort of hurting the Earth all that much more, stealing from our great-grandchildren. Stealing their WORLD from them, and we laugh about it. My heart does not bleed, Sirs, but my mind is strong enough to discern what is right from inculturated balderdash. Msg Base: BOARD 1 AREA 5 - Kind Bud's Hemp Discussion Corner Msg No: 257.

It's a real blow to the movement that a state can be so paranoid about a plant that it makes all the beneficial products illegal as well just so people aren't getting the "wrong message." How many more legislators will be convinced about this? We have personal experience of this, on a local level. Our oldest daughter, who was taken by the state a year and a half ago had all her hemp twine taken away, as well as the bracelets, necklace and anklet she had been given by her brothers and sisters. The social worker said it was because she "might get high" working with the twine, and it did have such a relaxing effect to sit around and braid bracelets... And of course, it had to be the effect of the "marijuana" she was working with, not the fact that braiding bracelets can be very relaxing.

Hold on a sec, JC. Your argument is using so much circular logic and is so full of holes as to be almost painful to a logical mind. First, if something is so horrible as to need being outlawed, then you must make a few choices about what kind of law you're going to use to outlaw it. Currently, the law outlawing the use of Marijuana says that it is A)patently dangerous and B) has not legitimate use. Both of these statements are FALSE! First and foremost, the GOVERNMENT, not me, has studies showing that deaths from Marijuana are 0 per year. Compare that to Alcohol, Cigs, cars, etc... Second, there are hundreds of uses. The fact that the constitution was written on it should kinda prove that. Secondly, your argument is that making it legal will let little school children get access to it is both a rediculous statement, and a scare tactic employed by the anti-drug establishment. First, of all the legal drugs available, and pot, I'd much rather find out my son was smoking pot. At least he's not going to be getting drunk and trying to drive. You're usually too mellow to worry about driving when smoking. Are you aware that it was the petro-chemical industry that shoved the bill down your throat saying you couldn't use pot for ANYTHING! Of course they did, it's easier for them to make money offa you. So while our landfills overflow with petro-chemical crapola, the "weed" that could well save the environment is illegal, and will get you SENT TO JAIL for just smoking it. Do you really believe that if a person of otherwise good standing is caught smoking pot, a productive member of society at that, should go from making $30,000 a year, to COSTING $32,000 a year? That is insane, we simply cannot afford anyone else in prison unless they really deserve to be there. We are not talking about nameless faceless statistics, but REAL people, with REAL lives.
