This is the one and only reason!  Plus anyone could grow hemp, so it
would make us independent from the elites. We would be energy
independent.

So they have trumped up "evidence" that marijuana is a dangerous drug.
I could just imagine who it would go over in court if you told the
judge that you were growing it as an energy fuel replacement for oil.
He'd be laughing out loud as he sent you away for 20 years to life.

       MARIJUANA is DANGEROUS. 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

       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.

       * 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 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.

       {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.
