What the Drug Enforcement Agency does to Medical Marijuana dispensaries is the equivalent of cops setting speed traps on Sunday morning to catch old people speeding to church because they are late. You aren’t saving the world guys, in fact your making it worse by wasting tax payer’s dollars, being counter productive and not seeing what is right in front of your face. They are medical dispensaries! There are protected by the state! And still you want to be an asshole? Was there a violent crime last week instigated by smoking too much marijuana? Focus on the problem. No seriously, get it together, see the big picture. If you can’t see this simple solution, right in front of you congressman know-it-alls, grab the reigns, stop thinking of what your peers think. You want votes? Start thinking out side the box.

You think the American public doesn’t see this waste of resources, as well as potential for new state taxable income if regulated properly? Look at cigarettes, don’t be hypocritical, since when can the government dictate what I can do to my body? They have NEVER done that. If Phillip Morris can continue to do business, and people are still talking about what havoc would be caused if marijuana was federally legal, should really smoke a joint, the only crime you will commit is eating a bit too many Cheetos.
Get over yourself, and stop listening to your analyst. All of you are puppets. Grow a brain. What have we learned as humans, all of these government organizations need new regulations, I'm no politician, but this shit is ridiculous, pardon my French. Go ask a cop, when he busts a criminal breaking into cars, or into establishments, what their drug of choice is, if it was an honest query, I guarantee, you the real problem, is the harder stuff, the stuff, that makes people steal from their own mothers, and steal from other mothers, and kill their kids all to get their next fix. Some homeless people in most of your neighborhoods have a 10k a week drug habit whether it be oxycontin, or heroin, or crack,. Who cares. Guaranteed, you might bust them with weed sometimes, but that fix they want, the fix they are committing crimes for, is for that harder physically addicting stuff. They feel like they have no choice, where is the DEA on those busts? Instead you want to mess with the dispensaries providing a service, and adhering to state regulations, go ask a heroin addict how many times he's done that…
People want to know who I am going to vote for, what a joke, the Bloods or the Crips, red or blue, all a sham, used to play the American people against each other over issues that are no brainers.
How to Win the Presidential Election For Dummies Vol. 1 – Wake the hell up and Legalize Pot. You see this crowd? Which side do you think holds the majority in every state. C'mon, who is going to grow a pair?
Like gay marriage, it took us how long to legalize it? Just do it! Let them be miserable like everyone else….(sorry only a joke) I digress though, let’s get back on topic….It just really grinds my gears.
Hemp could be a tall, beautiful and gracious serving annual plant that may achieve levels over twelve feet. Although hemp (cannabis sativa) and marijuana (cannabis sativa or, indica) derive from exactly the same types of plant, they will not function as the same and confusion remains triggered by deliberate lies and mis-info with significant effects on socioeconomics and also on political matters, shit, that’s why I don’t vote BECAUSE IT NEVER MATTERS! I am 32 years old, I can see through all of their bullshit, I am the generation, that has sat through, Clinton, Bush, and W. Bush again, I know their screw ups, I know our screw ups, and I know how we will continue to screw up, because that’s what the country is ran by now, oil hungry screw ups, that are masters of misdirection, and fogging the true issues that matter, and potentially save America’s Debt Crisis. The main reason hemp is against the law isn't due to any negative impact on the atmosphere or human health, but precisely the opposite. It's so eco-friendly, nutritionally and medicinally advantageous, it offers so many abundant assets that might make it impossible for effective companies to compete. More importantly, oil, glass, rope, and clothes production, because it has all of these uses, and grows so much better than cotton. The possibilities are endless, and as I said before, what is their rebuttal? They don’t want potheads hanging around schools? Around your favorite restaurant or movie theatre? News flash people, it happens anyway! They aren’t committing a crime, they are making a lifestyle choice, that really by all means, is none of your god damn business. Ben Franklin would be outraged. I mention his name because he is the only guy that was smart enough NOT to be president, and also smart enough to know, that the president is the fall guy, and that’s why he is my hero, as a true founding father, whose IQ was higher than all of our other president’s combined. Without having even been a president.
US Presidents Who Openly Commented and Joked About Their Marijuana Use
- Barack Obama – Of course he wrote about his weed, and cocaine abuse as a youth, when he lived with his parents in Hawaii, but he is also on record saying “When I was a kid, I inhaled Frequently, That was the point…”
- George W. Bush – Widely known in his use to be a cocaine user (he wrote about it, as well) never wanted to answer the questions about Marijuana, I find it strange he was easy to mention cocaine, which is a highly more dangerous and addictive substance that has no medical use whatsoever, in the same category as weed. He is quoted once making a statement about marijuana saying “I don’t want some kid doing what I tried.” – But don’t worry cocaine is cool kids, ok ok, he didn’t say the cocaine part but still, he might as well, since he mentioned the cocaine use and was real hesitate to speak about marijuana. That also leaves a hint on it being in the agenda, as something that isn’t going to happen federally, so he spoke bad about it, once again, putting it int eh same ballpark as his father did with his famous Crack cocaine speech years before. There are no coincidences here people.
- Bill Clinton – The famous remark “I did not inhale.” way to stand up to the war on drugs President Bill, no wonder you and President Bush Senior are cool as shit hanging out on yachts making Galveston commercials. You could have said something better than that Bill. Oh, but he DID NOT have sexual relations. Sigh…
- Thomas Jefferson – My hero, often wrote letters to general George Washington about his hemp he was growing, also about trades when he got back to the states since Jefferson was a US ambassador. For good reason. Let’s go back to this.
- (Many more to list, you can find on Google….I have to finish this article….LOL)
Hemps History, and What it has been used for in the Past…
Hemp is definitely the most universally valuable plant we've got at our disposal. The history of mankind’s use of hemp is often traced way back in time to among about 5000 - 7000 BC. Remains of seed husks have been identified at Neolithic burial sites in central Europe, which indicate that they had been utilized in funeral rites and shamanic ceremonies. It truly is probable that at that time the distinctions in between several strains weren't as pronounced as they may be currently.
Up till and even in the course of WWII, hemp was a extensively grown crop, which offered the world with a fantastic and toughest supply of fiber material. Since it is actually an annual with a growing cycle of only 120 days it may be harvested many occasions a year, based on local weather situations. Its biomass is considerable, which means that it absorbs large quantities of the greenhouse gas CO2. It can be resistant to bugs and calls for little agrochemical remedy. It is extremely undemanding and may be grown in very poor situations and depleted soils and can basically increase the soil structure more than a period of years. For many centuries hemp was one of several most important industrial crops which supplied the fibres for rope and challenging, durable canvass with no which the age of exploration could in no way have set sail.
In the US also, there have long been various guidelines and regulation in place relating to the cultivation of hemp. But in contrast to today’s regulations that strongly prohibit any cultivation of hemp, much less than a century ago hemp cultivation was not just encouraged, but mandatory, with hefty fines becoming levied against farmers who refused. ‘Hemp for Victory’ was the government coined slogan that fueled the final big bout of legal hemp cultivation for the duration of WWII, advertising hemp cultivation as a patriotic trigger.
Intentional Lies About THC Spread by Misinformation Agents of the Global Elite
Hemp is a number of cannabis sativa which has a lengthy history of use within the United states. However, since the 1950s it has been lumped in to the same category of marijuana, and therefore the extremely versatile crop was doomed within the United states. Hemp is technically in the exact same species of plant that psychoactive marijuana comes from. Nevertheless, it is from a various selection, or subspecies that consists of numerous important differences.
Industrial hemp has extremely low Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels, which is the principal psychoactive constituent. In comparison to marijuana which is specifically cultivated for individual psychoactive use, it is nearly not possible to “get high” on hemp. Marijuana that may be smoked usually contains in between 5-10%t THC, industrial hemp contains about one-tenth of that. To be able to get a psychoactive impact, 1 would need to smoke much more than a dozen hemp cigarettes more than a very short period of time to achieve any kind of psychoactive impact. The reason for the low THC content in hemp is the fact that most THC is formed in resin glands on the buds and flowers of the female cannabis plant. Industrial hemp is not cultivated to produce buds, and therefore lacks the primary element that types the marijuana higher. Moreover, industrial hemp has higher concentrations of a chemical called Cannabidiol (CBD) that has a negative effect on THC and lessens its psychoactive effects when smoked in conjunction.
Industrial hemp also grows differently than THC-containing cannabis. Hemp is typically grown up, not out, because the focus is not on producing buds but on producing length of stalk. In this way, hemp is really a very similar crop to bamboo. The stalk contains the fiber and hard, woody core material that may be used to get a number of purposes, even carpentry.
The two also differ in the locations that they are able to be successfully grown. THC-producing Marijuana must be grown in usually warm and humid environments to be able to produce the desired quantity and quality of THC-containing buds. Nevertheless, because industrial hemp does not include these buds, and also the hardy components from the plant are the more desired, it can be grown in a wider variety of locations. Usually, industrial hemp grows very best on fields that provide high yields for corn crops, which includes the majority of the Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast United states. Moreover, since industrial hemp can use male plants as well as female plants (because the object is not THC production), greater crop yields can outcome.
Whilst there is virtually no THC within the varieties grown for industrial uses such as oil and fibre, governments have cooperated with powerful corporate lobbyists the make sure that hemp is lumped in to the exact same category as marijuana. The main reason is that hemp has as well numerous abundant sources for fuel, housing, food, medicine that corporations cannot exploit. Consider how numerous polluting conglomerates would go down if hemp was permitted as a resource. The oil, pharmaceutical, supplement and constructions business would require to radically shift their business model to survive.
Abundant Resources
Hemp provides the fibre to make a tough paper - a much more sensible solution than the wasteful technique of clear cutting old development forests, or even the cultivation pine plantations that are ecologically speaking dead zones that take 20 years to mature prior to they can be harvested. Cannabis produces four times much more fibre per acre and may be harvested several times per year. The first dollar bills had been printed on hemp paper, your old family members bible is most likely printed on hemp paper and even the constitution itself was drafted on hemp paper.
Hemp has the strongest natural fibers, which can be utilized not just to create rough cloth, such as sails or canvass, but additionally durable work clothes, like the original jeans. When the plants are grown closer with each other the fiber becomes shorter and finer, which allows for finer textiles. Today, you will find some style designers that are experimenting with a wide range of textiles produced from hemp for their fashionable, trendy hemp lines, shirts, suits, bags, jeans and much more. And, no- you cannot smoke them to get high!
Hemp fibers are also discovering application as a modern developing material, an application that has been spearheaded and exploited effectively in France. Hemp fibers may be blended with water and limestone to make an extremely difficult, light-weight, all-natural cement which has not only excellent insulating properties, but additionally shows much more flexibility than standard concrete, which tends to make it particularly useful as a developing material in earthquake prone locations.
Back in 1941, Henry Ford constructed a car that was not just completely constructed from ‘hemp plastic’, but additionally ran on hemp fuel. Hemp oil, pressed in the seeds is also extremely versatile. It can be polymerized to create a strong plastic-like material, that is extremely tough, yet nevertheless is totally natural and biodegradable, which could replace plastics in numerous industrial processes.
Car manufacturers are again turning to hemp as a resource to provide light-weight, however shock absorbent and environmentally friendly material for their cars. Due to the higher biomass hemp would also make an ideal supply of ethanol, the very best bio-fuel option to gasoline, which is capable of fuelling engines with out producing all these evil gases that are destroying our atmosphere and poisoning the air. At lengthy final, some of the top car producers are starting to follow in Ford’s steps.

So why is Hemp, with no THC content illegal?
(That detective, is the right question...)
There is an old saying: if you would like to obtain to the root of an issue, follow the cash. This holds true for hemp. In this case we've to ask the question ‘who benefits from hemp being illegal?’ The logical answer is: the oil companies- and their share holders, of course. Hemp became illegalized at the time when oil was starting to make an impact on the economy as a base material for a lot of things that hemp could also be utilized for, including textiles and fibres (plastics), cosmetics and fuel.
Clearly, a resource is more profitable if access to it's restricted and not every farmer can grow it himself. In an exceedingly clever PR move psychoactive marijuana and hemp have been ‘thrown within the same pot’ because it were, and a huge campaign has been launched to convince individuals from the dangers of marijuana alias hemp - a highly questionable assertion. Although technically hemp isn't illegal to grow in some states, it requires obtaining a special permit from the drug enforcement agency (DEA) to restrict mass production. These permits are rarely given out and need that the crop be surrounded by safety measures like fences, razor wire, safety guards, or dogs. To get a crop which has little-to-no potential to obtain individuals higher, the current attitude is both irresponsible and draconian.
Seriously do potheads want to eat peoples face off like that new designer drug, that is being sold in head shops around the neighborhood, LEGALLY! This is atrocious and we have no one to blame but the US government, all of their proabition-esq tactics to keep Hemp, and Marijuana controlled is highly on the agenda, and it has nothing to do with all of the potheads affect on society.
Look at California, and Colorado! Crime rates have actually dropped, they have a new taxable source of income, and things are great...And it's only legal if you have medical card. Imagine if the government through out that silly rule. The only way Barack Obama could salvage his last moments as acting President would to legalize marijuana. That is the most ass backwards federal law we have. These DEA cowboys think they are actually making a difference busting these legal marijuana dispensaries on federal charges, when their is probably about 3 meth labs in the vicinity that could blow up at any moment.
How oxy-moronic. The anti-pot legislation is a joke, and let's be serious it's not stopping anyone from doing it anyway. Just let go government tax the shit like you do cigarettes. You care about my health really? Marlboro Reds are government crack...Just saying, yet its all good. It's socially acceptable, and even cigarette smokers are being ostracized.
Don't press your eating habits on me, and don't judge me either, we all have our vices. Whether, its sneaking Dove Milk chocolates under your pillow, or eating that secret Kolache, or Bear Claw before work. We all have our vices/addictions, I'm not asking for all drugs to be illegal but let's as a country not be fucking idiots. And stay out of each others business, especially if we aren’t causing friction between each other.
Hemp is the most useful plant ally we have - a sustainable resource par excellence, as some may prefer to contact it. Rather than cursing it we ought to be grateful to its deva and use all its ample gifts to turn the ecological demise of our planet about. It's not difficult to see how immensely beneficial hemp is and how it has the possible of solving many of our environmental problems, not to mention our health problems. However, we are continuously deprived of its advantages simply because farmers are prohibited from cultivating this crop.
Obviously importing it or goods produced from it's herbal goodness is very expensive and also the higher expense is really a prohibitive factor to selecting hemp as an environmentally friendly option even where it is available.
It makes no sense to import a crop like hemp, when it can be, should be and used to be grown in all temperate and hot regions of the world. Industrial hemp could transform the economy from the globe States in a positive and advantageous way, and therefore ought to be exploited to its full potential.
