Science The Hemp Thread. - Page 16

It is amazing what this plant can do. Im a Christian at heart, and believe that God gave us this bad ass plant to help us out.

* the first Bibles were printed on hemp paper
* the first US flag was made out of hemp
* the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence were printed on hemp paper.
* an acre of hemp produces more than 4 times the amount of paper than an acre of trees, and it grows back in less than a year
* Henry Ford made a hemp-mobile
* "Marijuana" is just the Hispanic name for hemp, they are the exact same plant. (The name, "marijuana", was used by law enforcement and the media for this "Mexican killer weed" to taboo and sensationalize it in concerned American's minds.)
* Birds live 20% longer when hemp seed is a part of their diet
* Hemp seed oil has been used (and should be used) in everything from engine oil and paint, to cosmetics and foods for man and beast alike
* In the 1600s, there were places in the US where growing hemp was enforced by law
* You could pay your taxes with hemp for 200 years during the 1700s in the US
* Hemp seeds have been a staple and a life-saver during many famines and food shortages throughout history (over 60% of Third World children are dying everyday because of protein starvation , but Mr. Government says they can't grow it - it's against the law!)
* There are receptors in the brain which science has found will bind with THC compounds alone, and no other
* The depletion of the ozone layer threatens to reduce soy crops by up to 50%, but hemp is immune to the damages of ultraviolet light (it actually makes it produce more of the resin that contains the THC)
* Hemp is a more prolific producer of ethanol than corn
* Hemp requires little to no industry, it grows in the ground (cleaning the soil of toxins), then is cut, dried, and utilized... (Does it make any sense that the government doesn't jump on this, legalize it and tax the pants off of it instead of increasing everyone’s already-insane taxes to reduce the country's deficit?? Tax pot!)
* Buddha lived on ONE hemp seed a day for over 5 years.
* And apparently if you set it on fire and inhale the smoke of it, it gives you a euphoric feeling.

"And God said, Behold, I have given you every green herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
-Genesis 1:29 -

"Prohibition goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes."
-Abe Lincoln, 1840

I hope he's joking. If not he doesn't know WTF he's talking about.

Anything is profitable if it has a market, and I think I know a good portion of the market personally. You know Pizza Hut and the company that makes Doritos want to legalize it.

Indoctrinated? Please. I grew up around the stuff, in the ghetto. I smoked the stuff back in the day... Of course, I didn't accept what the Army said as fact. FWIW, it was actually offered through the University of Colorado, and had nothing to do with the Army. To insinuate I haven't looked at the issue with a critical eye, by analyzing the dueling studies and research is a bit presumptious of you.

If THAT book is the source of your info, I understand where you are coming from though. Finally, I'd suggest you take your own advice, and search for a mind for yourself....unless you, like I have, looked at both sides of the debate. If you honestly have, and you've interpreted the research and studies differently than I do. Fine. No worries. We'll just have to disagree, but don't pretend to be the final authority on the subject. And neither will I.

so, the alcohol makes you take it and make it personal huh? You mean, the alcohol actually makes the situation worse and yet you do it? Wow. Just get stoned next time, and that wont happen. You see, weed doesn't work by shutting down some of the inhibitory functions of the brain like alcohol. That is why stoners are not getting into fights and driving like maniacs.

* Henry Ford made a hemp-mobile powered by hemp seed oil for FUEL.

Those two reasons alone are the no brainers.
