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 Marijuana Conspiracy
The Real Reason why Hemp is ILLEGAL
by Doug Yurchey
Introduction
Did you know, it is estimated that hemp has approximately 25,000
uses?
From food, paint and fuel to clothing and construction materials, hemp
is used. There are even hemp fibres in your Red Rose® and Lipton® tea
bags. And several cars made today contain hemp.
The oldest relic of human industry is a piece of hemp fabric (canvas)
found in ancient Mesopotamia dating back to approximately 8000 B.C. The
oldest surviving piece of paper was made over 2000 years ago in China and
was also made from hemp fibre. In 2500 B.C. the pharaohs used hemp in the
construction of the great pyramids.
Hemp was so important in England in the 16th century that King Henry
VIII passed a law in 1553 which fined farmers who failed to grow at least
one quarter acre of hemp for every 60 acres of arable land they owned.
There was even a time in history for over 200 years when you could pay
your taxes in America with hemp. In 1850 there were more than 8,300 hemp
farms in the United States.
Every 3.6 seconds someone in the world dies of hunger. Hemp seeds
are the most nutritious and economical solution to end world hunger. With
an 80 percent concentration of "good fats" our bodies need for good health
maintenance and protein with all eight amino acids plus optimum dietary
fibre, hemp truly is a "perfect balance" food source.
Health Benefits of Hemp Seed >>
Nature has provided the essential
nutrients for restoring and maintaining optimal health in a
power-packed seed that is gluten, cholesterol and sugar free. Pure,
natural, raw shelled hemp seed - the best single food source of
protein, essential fats, vitamins and enzymes on the planet.

The first diesel engine was designed to run on vegetable oils, one of
which was hemp oil. In the 1930s Henry Ford produced an automobile
composed of 70 percent hemp plastic which also ran on hemp based fuel and
oil. In 2001 the "Hempcar" circled the North American continent powered by
hemp oil.
The paintings of Rembrandt (1606- 1669), Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)
and Thomas Gainsborough (1727- 1788) were painted primarily on hemp
canvas, often with hemp oil based paint. Over 50 percent of all chemical
pesticides sprayed are used in the cultivation of cotton. Hemp is eight
times stronger than cotton and more air-permeable. Hemp can grow
vigorously (up to 16 feet) in 100 days without the use of harmful
pesticides and herbicides... healthier for your skin and the environment.
One acre of hemp can produce as much raw fibre as 4.1 acres of trees.
Pulping hemp for paper would produce a strong paper that lasts incredibly
long and doesn't yellow with age. Also, using hemp as a raw source for
paper would eliminate the need to cut down our dwindling old-growth
forests which contribute to climate control and clean the air we breathe.

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.
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 extremely versatile plant that, if used properly,
would ruin their companies.
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.

The Hemp Manifesto: 101 Ways That Hemp Can Save Our World
by Rowan Robinson
Sometimes it is only through the pithy insights of a pocket
book or manifesto that the world can fully understand an issue. Such is
certainly the case with this Cannabis Sativa, as most of the American
people - especially the DEA - seem to have trouble understanding the
practical value of industrial hemp and the spiritual and medicinal value
of its psychoactive sister, Marijuana. I say America, because the rest of
the Western World is already catching on (hemp is being grown in Canada in
and all over Europe now), whereas China, Japan, and many other eastern
countries never forgotten this miracle crop. Yes, miracle crop. Hemp can
be put to just about any use: It can be made into wood, paper, clothing,
fiberglass, canvas, twine, rope, soap, shampoo, cosmetics, oils, paints,
inks, putty, and coatings. It is also perhaps the most important food
crop, as it stands supreme as the planet's single most nutritious source
of protein and essential fatty acids. It can even be made into auto fuel!!
(Visit Colorado's Rocky Mountain Institute's website for information on
this long-known property of many carbohydrates.) Moreover, hemp treads
much lighter on the planet, as it usually does not require pesticides or
herbicides (indeed, it is used as natural herbicide); and its fast-growing
roots and self-mulching leaves can even rejuvenate undernourished and
eroding soils. In effect, by converting to hemp paper and woods products
instead of felling old growth and dwindling indigenous rain forests, and
furthermore by using hemp to retain soil composition in areas were erosion
is advancing (hemp can grow just about anywhere), we could begin to
restore declining ecosystems. Without understatement, hemp could lend a
much-needed hand in saving the planet. This book was a real eye-opener. In
terms of price, expediency and insight you can't go wrong.

The Emperor Wears No Clothes: The Authoritative Historical Record of
Cannabis and the Conspiracy Against Marijuana
by Jack Herer
Product Description
Jack Herer has updated his authoritative history of hemp's myriad uses and
of the war on this plant, just as it has become high-profile news, with
supporters such as Woody Harrelson and Willie Nelson. Herer thoroughly
documents the petrochemical industry's plot to outlaw this renewable source
of paper, energy, food, textiles, and medicine. Photos, illustrations &
charts. 10 tables.
A review by a reader:
Although some of the historical data can be called into question, the
essential claims of this book remain unrefuted by the disinformation
campaigns of the anti-marijuana lobby. Herer shatters cannabis myths; he
shows, with hard data that: pot has absolutely no toxicity to human tissues;
pot has anti-carcinogenic properties; the tar, although greater in
proportion than tobacco, is completely water-soluble; smoking marijuana
shortly after having a stroke prevents the swelling of the brain -- and
consequently much of the brain damage and loss of function associated with
strokes.
