Why is weed/hemp being held back? I dont smoke it anymore but when I did I looked into it quite indepth. Did you know marijauna (Well, a hemp derivative saved george bush snr life? - ok, so its got that going against it...) Check out the link

RADIO SHOW ABOUT HERB

The show was 2 hours, starting off with the history of industrial hemp, medical marijuana and its suppression. We then go into astrotheology and psychedelic shamanism's impact on the history of the world's major religions.

Skip to 10 minutes in, the intro is laughably bad

Free Maria Joana ...

I dont get why alcohol is accepted when a much mild drug like hemp is banned ...

Nobody ever died from it, when one indulges he or she will just sleep and wake up safe, not even hangover !

Agreed.

Have you noticed this thread has limited responces? I am guessing these sherdoggers are sitting back and listening to the discussion and lighting up some mary jane, thus forgetting to respond LOL

I think it might be ok to place controls on hydroponics (The genetic enhancement of THC to make skunk etc,) that stuff has some strong pyschoactive effects and some people cant handle it - links to paranoia etc. But weed is 1 zillion times safer then alcohol, thats a fact that cannot be denied

Not to mention all the uses you could get from hemp, everything from fuel to soap to paint. Of course that wouldn't help the profits of oil tycoons, who have all the $$ flow and lobbyists to make laws...

oh, wait....

edit: forgot about the seeds. Wicked, in-expensive source of omegas' and protiens, plus fiber.
Mass cropage could defintly help out the situation in 3 world countries, since you can grow the shit anywhere just about.

I believe the best option is to let small farms, do not allow mass production like alcohol and tobacco business ...

All work should be artisanal ...

Good idea to enforce regular tests avoiding embedded stronger drugs ...

Edit

concerning recreational marijauina, yes possibly. But hemp offers the chance to revolutionise many aspects of the worlds fuel sources etc.

I don't think there would be much reason for spraying pcp et al on weed if it was available in mass quantities legally. The reason they do it is to sell crappy weed at top dollar for its strong effects.

Here is a link about a hemp car and hempoline fuel Henry Ford invented back in the 30's or 40's http://www.geocities.com/medicalmari...003/fact26.htm . Also don't forget our Constitution is written on hemp paper now that actual paer is outlawed. Kind of ironic that the plant that gives us our Rights does not now have a right to exist.
