The Marijuana Conspiracy
THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL
by Doug Yurchey
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.
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.
This is a cool fact. I'm all for the legalization of hemp. the Old fogies in congress need to realize that Hemp and the weed you smoke is different.
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

1. Q: What is Industrial Hemp?
A: Industrial Hemp is a number of varieties of Cannabis sativa L. that are intended for agricultural and industrial purposes. They are grown for their seed and fiber content as well as the resulting byproducts such as oil, seed cake, hurds, etc. Industrial Hemp is characterized by being low in THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and high in CBD (cannabidiol). THC is less than 1% and in Canada and Europe the current legal level for cultivation is 0.3%. The ratio of CBD to THC is greater than one.
2. Q: What is marijuana?
A: Marijuana is a preparation made from varieties of Cannabis sativa L. that are intended for medical and recreational drug use. They are grown for their THC content, primarily in the flowering tops and to a lesser extent in the leaves. Cannabis sativa L. grown for marijuana is characterized by being high in THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol) and low in CBD (cannabidiol). The THC content is greater than 1%, usually 3% to 20%. The ratio of CBD to THC is less than one.

As someone who is pretty unknowledgeable about this subject, I'd like to see some medical evidence that it's good for you... especially the bit about eating hemp seeds to reduce collestoral? Also smoking. Although this page is very interesting I'd like to be able to cross reference it with some other stuff.

i dont know why the government does not legalize weed, and ban alchohol, that way the general public will be mellow and not all drunk and beat up their wives, commit violent crimes, rape women, or crash and kill some people.

I don't think pot should be legal. Most of the big pot endorsing celebrities end up dying of brain cancer and I think that says something about how "safe" it is.

but i really don't see anything wrong with growing industrial hemp.
