A company I used to work for, used hemp in several of their products. The literature we had about hemp noted the THC in hemp is considerably minute & it would take a joint the size of a telephone pole to get high off it.
Wonderful radio broadcast, thanks for posting. Hugh Downs was a good man. Now that we have found that THC cures cancer and other medical issues, they may have to come around. The problem is both the profit motives of the big drug companies, and the lack of ability to think clearly (heh) of the anti-drug crowd. They're too full of self-righteous religious fervor to consider they might be wrong about consciousness-alterating medicines.
I tried to explain this in a paper I did on Cannabis once but people didn't seem to get it and still don't get it! Hemp IS Cannabis, Cannabis IS Hemp. Whether its the female Cannabis plant or the male Cannabis plant, it is HEMP, dam!. I read some of these comments with people informing others that Hemp is not pot, but it IS, I'm not saying its a bad thing, I think its a great thing. They are one in the same no matter what your opinion is or what you think.
Hey billybob: do you know what year this report was broadcast? The content is excellent and you can tell that Hugh Downs is amazed that hemp was made illegal.
Marijuana is derived from the same plant as broccoli and cauliflower. Since the government sees hemp as dangerous since it can produce a "lethal" drug, broccoli and cauliflower must be dangerous too. I demand an immediate nationwide ban on broccoli.
That or the government admits they banned hemp in the 1930's to make sure the oil, timber, paper, ect. industries wouldn't have to compete with a wonder plant.
Hemp can do just about everything. Legalize it, fools.
Hemp/Cannibus/Marijuana is an herb and a flower. God put it here. If God put it here and wants it to grow, what gives the government the right to say that God is wrong?
IND.usTRIAL HEmp IS kNOT POT or WEed MARYhuANA never was hemp is QUEER male marijuana is a QUEER female ask any CULTIVATOR/FARMER living or dead COW CORN is not GROWN for HUman CONsumption
Cannabis Activism / Humanitarian Deeds = PLANT SEEDS IN EVERY PUBLIC PLACE YOU CAN IMAGINE THIS SUMMER AND EVERY SUMMER GOING FORWARD!! ITS THE ONLY WAY!!
Hugh Downs, I salute you sir!!! You are hell of a model American and a true patriot. This is by far the the most informative and condemning piece of journalism I've ever been witness to. It's a conspiracy of the highest order in my opinion. How could a plant that was widely considered the most important plant on the globe be maligned so quickly and thoroughly? it's amazing what a few powerful greedy men were able to do, pulling the wool over an entire nation's eyes...
idk its good to act like he could though sao all the religious fucks will agree with marijuana that would be a large group of people to recruit you see
hey wait a minute. I want to be a DEA Special Agent. Does that make me a low IQ goon? I am in AP and Honors classes. Do i still have a low IQ? I am impartial to this whole legalizing marijuana thing. Hemp wont be legal because it could replace a lot of things that we have to pay for and you can grow it anywhere. Why dont you think alchol is legal? people dont know how to make alchol. So all they can do is raise the age limit. If hemp becomes legal then they will have a 21 yr old age limit.
Smoking a joint every time I wanted a cigarette got me off off of cigs..
Then it was only one a dat..take a puff,put it out and goback to work..
Smoking weed my daughter said helped her study in high school and graduate in the top 25 of the school! 2nd child is also honor roll..3rd child that Ididn't smoke weed while pregnant has trouble learning.that should tell you something..x...Lane
hemp could replace the lumber and plastic indusrty. and weed could be a safe altenative for many meds. and recreational things like drinking. thats why it remains illigal. corporations like these have been dictating the pace of the u.s. and world, DEATH TO CEO's
same reason why there is global warming, oil wars,and shitty economy. ALL due to corporate GREED, and corrupt govt. THE THRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. weed is harmless and hemp is the alt. to lumber and plastics.
The only thing they banned hemp its because it can be cultivated everywhere. It is competitive against oil companies and cigarettes and alcohol companies. Without marijuana, people had no choice but rather to buy their alcohol, oil, and cigarettes. Which mean it will give them more profits without marijuana. So to my conclusion, if people cannot have hemp- which is available everywhere; that a well-grown plants theres a big chance they can make more money. And by chance injecting propaganda!
@xxdyepaintballrxx The plant is just an economy on itself ... governments do promote the interests of their friends, who happen to be the owners of banks and industry. So it is a no brainer.
There has to be something we can do. People just don't pool together anymore. We're seperated by shallow reason, that we don't even realize. I"m down, for the fight....
I only noted the use of the words hemp and marijuana interliked, this is a problem in my eyes. It was this same tactic that lead to this plants ban in America and by keeping them linked it only perpetuates the myth that the 2 plants are the same. They are not.
When this ban started in the 1930s people never knew that marihuana was hemp. I believe that it should go back to that perspective and more focus be put upon the differences if any head way to leagalize it is to be made.
Hemp in any area can mess up a sensimilla crop from fairly long distances. That blows the whole "growing weed in the middle of hemp crops" argument out of the water.
The possibilities are endless, if only the heads of state can pull their fingers out and realise how hemp can be the cure for so so many of the worlds problems, i'm going to d all i can to spread the word
I share your frustration. I feel as if this issue has been distorted to a "draft card burning and war protesters" stigma. My advice is to be as informed as possible on this issue.
To put it simply, hemp has the capacity to enrich the world as a whole. That is a huge claim, but I can explain for days how this is true. Keep giving props to hemp, and be prepared to argue with those who are less informed. Peace
the real reason its illegal!! imagine being able to have work clothes that would last for three generations!!-two different plants!-conspiracy?? spread it nicely!
HEMP. Clean fuel, strong fibers, biologically perfect for human consumption(seeds), never killed anyone, cleaner and longer lasting paper, clothes etc...HEMP can be grown over and over in undesirable soil without depleting its nutrients. 2000 gallons of ethanol per acre can be harvested from hemp. And that is for un-genetically tampered Hemp. That's 6.6 times the energy output of corn. It's as if God furnished us with the perfect plant of prosperity and a few corporate dicks made it illegal.

You sound like an intelligent individual but yet you seek to enter into an organization that's founded on prohibition.
Prohibition is never the answer and only leads to destruction and travesty. History has proven it for centuries.
Promoting Family, Ethics and Education while having a govt that understand "Empowerment" is the answer.
Minimize what you have to deal with by educating the populace and promoting the values that create a cohesive society.
Control through mass oppression doesn't.
