  • Truth Must Reveal

  • you know what? your right! you have it in a nut shell that box spits out hired propaganda. i learn most of my info from the web now

  • great video made me laugh at the beginning. my film in my channel goes into much more detail, and even into space colonization. peak oil, economic collapse are a fraud.

  • @silverfuturist

    Great videos dude.

    Not sure why you put peak oil in the title? I would be interested to hear you views on it. I would also be interested to hear your views on how you go about separating the valid info from the trash or even the disinfo. Can you really ever trust a secondary source (ie info not gained from your own observation and subsequent analysis)?

  • I would love to know who the 1 moron is that thumbed this down.

    Great video as always!

  • Brilliant, thanks!

  • The "De-Something" is called a "Decorticator". It makes the processing of hemp super-efficient. Great video Joe!

  • Sometimes I watch TV coz the blatant brainwashing amuses me. But really, it's not amusing!

  • Good on you! I have been doing yoga for 10 years. It changed my life, my health, my perspective and my spirit. I try to show others but nobody cares.

  • How many people in the world on medication could easily fix their problems with Yoga or deep breathing/meditation exercises? Most likely alot!

  • This month marks my 1st year without watching TV, it was rough the 1st month as I was a CNN CNBC addict ... I'm much better now ! I vote for more hemp too !

  • @silverdollar3 Congrats brotha. Much more value in reading books from Amazon and just watching YouTube. It's amazing. TV sucks!

  • This is a channel full of educated critical thinkers. You did a pro-hemp video. And you have 183 positive votes and ZERO negative votes.

    I hope I learned something, and I did! I learned that educated critical thinkers are AGAINST prohibition of hemp.

    Good to have you on board the pro-hemp train, Joe. Maybe some day you'll smoke one with us. :p

    "Millions of people rely on big pharma drugs..." This would have been the perfect spot to point out the medicinal properties of the plant.

  • I really like ur vids mate! Always something new and funny. I havent watch the beserk-box myself for a couple of years now, havent miss a thing! Peeps dont believe me that I dont have one! haha!

  • Brilliant presentation, well done!

  • There was a company a couple years ago that perfected cellulosic ethanol that essentially could make ethanol that could be used in any car from hemp.

    Royal Dutch Shell bought it for 350 milion

  • He he--best line in the vid: "..the ties of the Elite".

  • Sold my "Idiot box" a long time ago but i kept the actual box. I use a media player that reads from a hard drive and i upload educational videos to it instead. Commercial Free! :D

  • I didn't know anything about hemp thanks for bring it up, I surely learned something new today.

  • Joe,

    Do you ever find gold or silver at below spot prices at these sales you go to?

  • @MisterSilverBug i would rather have 2oz. of silver then those ties...i get my ties on Ebay. I search wide vintage ties, pay no more than $5.

  • The lobiests paid for the propaganda and the laws to outlaw hemp production and we swallowed it like good little fishies!!

  • Awesome video. Very enlightening.

  • I still watch the idiot box.

  • Joe, you keeps saying UM UM UM...Im telling you because your video are getting better and i totally suport you. Im really just trying to help you not knock you down...I want you to be the best public speaker on youtube

  • I've been debating canceling my cable for the past year to compensate for inflation... You've helped to make up my mind, I'm getting rid of TV.... right after college football season! :)

  • When you look at just..WHO..OWNES..THE MEDIA

    And then notice it just happens to be the..SAME PEOPLE..WHO..OWN..THE BANKS

    a moment of WOW takes place (it took months for me to deal with it)

    Because one of the....MAIN...POINTS...driven home by the Banksters with their magic box is that its "evil" and "racist" to....NOTICE...WHOS BEHIND THIS EVIL.

    Then at some point you run into the "Protocols of the elderns of Zion" and it you find out THEY have been at this for 100YEARS! (+)

  • Hell yeah, kill your TV and expand you mind!!!

  • if hemp is so amazing, how come other countries don't grow it?

  • @ik999 Illegal/heavy regulated.

  • @DatDereBlueRidge

    doesn't answer the question

    why doesn't China grow hemp? that would reduce their dependence on oil which comes from an American dominated middle east

  • @ik999 definitely. international treaties regarding cannabis make it harder and less profitable though. it boggles the mind what kind of things politicians come up with. give em an inch and they take a mile.

  • Gave up TV 4 years ago, and it's been a great decision. It's a tool that had great potential, but it's been turned into a deception/mind-control box.

    You think they can't do the same to the Internet? They can, and probably will, given enough time. Give it another 10 years, and we'll see. It's already well on it's way to being clogged, junked up, regulated, and over-commercialized. 

  • DESTRUCTION AND CONTROL BY DESIGN 

  • In "communist block" everybody knew that Television lies...

    Americans must learn that too.

    Big advantage of glass over hemp is that glass wouldn't be eaten by fungi and microbes - that's why also plastic fibres are better than plant-derived traditional alternatives.

  • Have you read ''The Grand Chessboard''?

  • This man allegedly cured his skin cancer with hemp oil (with THC). Tell me your opinion about his claims. He shows the progress of ridding the cancer in about a month:

    /watch?v=mA_hpfcTpmQ

  • Great vid. Joe! From your mouth to God's ears. I got rid of the Idiot Box 1.5 years ago.  It was a new beginning.

  • I watched a documentary where Hemp and was assassinated by Dupont because it competed directly with Nylon

  • I am very grateful for your direct attack on the stupid box which, as you say, spoon feeds garbadge and obsucures and hides the truth and a wealth of other information that is freely available and can enrich our lives physically, mentally, spiritually and financially.

  • I thought Hemp was a plant famous as a suicide drug.

  • It has to do with Pharmaceutical Industry.

    Opium is the world's best pain reliever used throughout human history from Europe to Asia, and still used during surgery as morphine (more potent version), but that would devastate the sale of prescribed pain killers which is monopolized by industry.

    Same for hemp.

  • *applause* joe thank you so much for stepping up to the plate on this issue. For over 2 years now i've been trying to get a hemp festival going in my part of London but have found nothing but ignorance & obsfucation. The mechanism is global: all you say about the US applies to the UK.

    I've said it for years but will say it again. Hemp, Silver & Permaculture will save the world.

  • I quited TV in 2000 and I dont miss it since then. But there are some quality time in that box as well. At least in the Swedish one.

    Many exposures of corruption in Sweden are done by some TV programs.

    When is YouTube going to turn into a Box?

    Thaks for your video

  • thank you orion empire for controlling all our lives

    too bad we will be free soon

  • have you seen a nice waist coat to go with your ties you would look good,

  • I did a website for a guy that was into the netical plant stuff for pain relief. A lot of people claim it really works.

    There are so many possible health benefits to the things growing on Earth. But people have been brainnwashed into thinking pills fix all their problems.

  • ... so what are your thoughts on peak oil? :)

  • File your ucc-1 and you can then grow as much as you want.

  • Bamboo is stronger than steel ! Astounding ! The Chinese use Bamboo for their scaffolding ! Amazing ! Oo-Raa!

  • Hemp is the most useful thing in the world, the strongest natural fiber. The first copies of the constitution and declaration of independence, were written on cannibus hemp paper.

    On another note, there is NO product on the market that has as many medical benefits as marijuana, that is a FACT, you can not deny that. You can also not deny that marijuana has NEVER killed a single person,and its been around for 10,000 years.  Tobacco has killed over 100 million people.

  • @lXlRIVERlXl

    I can tell you right now who will own the hemp fields of the world.

  • "The television is the altar on which common sense is sacrificed"

    - Breycor

  • Awareness my friend..... awareness.... I see a huge awakening happening with everything.

  • "now I wear the ties of the elite" great line.....

  • Great .That's Truth. I only watch the science channel but how knows they also may be misleading you.

  • Just to show what an IDIOT BOX the TV really is.. In the United Kingdom, people are asked to pay a "Licence" fee just to have the privilege of watching live broadcasts on one (BEFORE any subscriptions for the channels they watch). The people who watch it are so idiotic they actually pay the $224 a year for this TV Licence. How nuts is that!?!

    I have a lovely 32 inch LCD TV plugged into my PC and watch many wonderful shows (and YouTube channels like yours Joe!) and it doesn't cost me a penny!

  • Hemp is used for paper money! How's that for irony.

    Hemp is illegal because it's useful! Hemp seed contains all of the essential amino acids and fatty acids required to sustain human life. If everyone had an abundance of hemp there would be a MUCH lesser need for many of the products that are sold to us every day!

    I think we should all start dropping hemp (non-THC varieties, of course!) seed in hedgerows here and there wherever we travel.. It grows so easily it will soon be EVERYWHERE ;)

  • @TheHolySpirit That's actually a pretty cool idea.

  • your awesome!

  • Awesome video! Learned alot and thanks for sharing the information. We never knew hemp had so many uses. You are definitely right about the idiot box also!

  • lol marijuana is illegal in order to keep hemp illegal even though there is almost no drug in hemp. they are different plants! read a book called " THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHS" BY JACK HERER .

  • Well said brother.

    I rarely watch TV anymore.

    Great video, keep up the good work!!!

  • great vid

  • Great video. HEMP is the real conspiracy story. HEMP is a miracle plant and "they" took it away for control and power purposes. They are still taking advantages away from us in the name of "for your own good". We have to rely on them more and more. Thanks for the video.

    SIDE NOTE: Dude, I love coffee. But you must have had 20 cups before you made this video. Just make a half a pot and draw the line. No more for the rest of the day.

  • @Yankeeprepper Don't diss him man LOL

    Silverfuturist eats asshats for breakfast,lunch and dinner. He dosen't run on coffee neigh sir he runs on silver juice,melted down over the burning corpse of a Goldman Sachs employee.

    Your right about Hemp mate,cannot have the plebs taking control over their own health now can we.......big gubermint is always watching our backs,after all us plebs are just not intelligent enough to work for the government or grow hemp or infact do anything innovative.

  • @stuartsbushcraftblog Hey brother! This was a great video. I was just chuckling to myself watching him on high speed. I have overdosed on coffee many times and that is exactly how I talk when I get there. New meaning to "fast and furious"

    I have seen Hemp rope that is over 100 years old that still is "as good as new". They take away things that make us self sufficient. How can they run a consumer world if we have products that last a 100 years?

  • @Yankeeprepper We need him on the java man LOL!

    Your constitution was written on hemp paper LMFAO! Obviously your forefathers new something back then hey?

    Yeah cannot have the plebatarians using rope that last a 100 years now,that just will not do at all. After all who will prop up the Chinese economy if you Americans and us Europeans are using rope that lasts a hundred years?

    In Brazil the aircraft company Embraer have turbo prop aircraft running on ethanol, why not hemp ethanol?

  • @stuartsbushcraftblog I look at the Lister Engine (British and Indian makes) the same way. They design an engine that will last a couple generations and run your whole house or farm on veg. oil???? NO WAY. that will not work at all. The EPA even banned importation of them to the USA a few years ago just to make sure nobody get any self sufficient ideas.....

  • @Yankeeprepper Thew that was a close one for you Yanks.

    Luckily big brother government saved you there from the evil lister engine.

    Our generators when i was in the Army where listers...........don't remember ever having a problem with one shock horror...............

    Yankee don't you know that your suppose to be concerned about snooki and eat Mcdonalds happy meals, the ones that do not rot after 6 months and are injected with 'food grade' foam that has silicone in it?

  • you're awesome

  • Super duper like, I watch about 1 hour of tv a week, usually something funny.

  • Nice Job!, Learn More on my Page Cause I AM HEMP!

  • Joe I want you to know that last night I was watching tv with my wife, and we both looked at eachother and said "tv sucks". I walked over to my turntables, dropped the needle on my favorite ambient record, and when it was done, I fired up the silver futurist youtube channel. Such more productive use of my time.

  • Very interesting information thanks

  • In the Sixteenth Century, hemp was so fundamentally important to the fledgling expansion of the British Empire that Elizabeth I decreed that all landholders of a certain size had to put over part of their land for growing the plant.

  • Honestly: This is by far THE BEST VIDEO I'VE SEEN IN DAYS AND IT'S FROM YOU!

  • Not only is the boobtube mostly propaganda, unbelievably most Amerikans actually pay for the programming. Weed promotes freedom, of course TPTB discourages it.

  • @misterfortran LOL But wait! You can buy a 3 thousand dollar LCD tv and pay 175 a month for High Definition propaganda! LOLOL I have 10 channels and the only reason i have them is because it comes free with my high speed internet. My first youtube video ever is going to be me, a shotgun, and my tv getting blown to bits.

  • hahaha love it

  • Idiot Box.... amen brother

  • another good vid, good topic. it's funny because I was researching the latest hemp technologies this past week. keep up the good work.

  • Hemp will not save the world from peak oil.

    The world uses a billion barrels of oil every twelve days. There is approx 14,633,840 acres of arable land in the world. Hemp could produce about 328 gallons of ethanol per acre per annum. This would equate to about 4,799,899,520 of potential gallons of ethanol. Ethanol is only 1.5 times as potent as OIL, which means really you're talking about 3.13 billion gallons per annum. The big problem is there is no land for food. We cant feed everyone as is.

  • @yogiudo I disagree.

    The number one cause of global hunger acording to the UN's WFP is poverty,the second being conflict and not insufficient land to grow food.

    People are hungry because they do not have access to the food that is already grown,if there wasn't enough food on the planet why does the US and Europe pay its farmers subsidies not to farm?

  • @stuartsbushcraftblog it doesn't matter if you `disagree'. Hemp isn't going to replace OIL because it can't.

    It is a physics problem not a food problem. I didn't even mention the fact that hemp ethanol has an EROEI that is -1. Ethanol is a stupid idea and hemp is not a real world solution for energy. Sorry.

  • @stuartsbushcraftblog if I was to sum this up in one sentence I will say this: You're never, ever, under any circumstances going to be able to run walmart, china, the interstate freeway and put cheese doodles in every 711 on an elaborate pot operation. It ain't gonna happen and if you think it is - you should do yourself a favor and put out whatever it is that you're smoking.

  • @yogiudo sugercane ethanol has an EROEI of 8, verified, in Brazil. Check out articles on theoildrum (dot) com

  • @TheSilverbullet99 you're completely missing the point. The world is expecting 80 million barrels of oil per day at an EROEI of 80 - 100+ and instead we're going to get ~200000 `barrels' of ethanol per day at an EROEI of 3 - 10.

    Heavy industry is going to contract regardless.

  • @yogiudo Never seen a 711 here in Spain or a Walmart for that matter.

    If America doesn't do it then some other nation will,seems that americans these days have lost that yankee doodle spirit.

  • The idiot box is pushing peek oil so if I where you silverfuturist I would research how true or not true it is.

    With that said I have looked into it a bit and I can't draw a conclusion ether way because their is to much conflicting data.

  • @davincij15 I'm not too worried about peak oil. As the supply diminishes, the price will go up which means that things that don't absolutely need oil will have more competition for alternatives. Perhaps things like Hemp will find a way back in in that environment and there will be enough political pressure to make the bought politicians legalize it regardless of what their masters say.

  • @eurohim If the US doesn't legalize it, that means other countries will get even more footing over us in the global economy.

  • Hemp grows to fast so it lowers prices of everything too much.

  • great vid

  • New world order is the same as the old world order.

  • lol another great vid m8, cheers

  • One of your best videos.

    I ditched the TV years ago and spend my time enriching my previously zombified mind. TV = Propaganda

  • Hemp would easilt outcompeted both cotton and tobacco industries, both with well established and powerful organisations behind them. They foguht hard to demonise hemp. But the danger is that if hemp takes off it will be as destructive a crop that palm oil is today.

  • To get the industry started for real, ask the Pro's. The Dutch. ;)

  • I didn't realize hemp was outright banned in the US. Pretty much everywhere in the world, textile hemp is used at an industrial scale.

  • You've got Reefer Madness :)

  • Hemp is one of our fastest growing bio mass.

    watch?v=rHlV2fkLPl0&feature=re­lated

  • Last week a government guy (In the UK) rang the bell asking to come into my house to check that I don't have a TV (because I am not paying the TV licence). I let him in (in order to avoid him coming back with a bunch of goons), and after finding no TV he looked at me like I was a weirdo.

    PS: he was very cordial all along.

  • @MrVocalBaby you pay a TV licence in the UK??

    wtf, how did th polititions manage to get that thing passed?

  • @longltran I guess it was in the interest of the nation to give its citizens good and relevant information, and there is no better than the government in doing this job...

    PS: the sad thing is that most people are happy and proud of the Big Brother Corp. (BBC), and happy to pay the licence.

    In most european countries there is a TV licence, it's a fixed fee in the electriciy bill and most people are not aware of it. At least in the UK it's a specific licence and you can completly avoid it.

  • @MrVocalBaby The TV licence? You have to pay a licence to have a TV?

  • @silverfuturist Yes, you must pay about 250USD a year to have a TV at home even if you use it only to play with your playstation or watch DVDs. It goes to finance the Ministry of Truth, the BBC I meant.

    And coming back to your video SV, like you, since I ditched the TV 4 years ago I learnt 10x more than the combined previous 32 (I am 36).

  • @MrVocalBaby sooo messed up

  • @MrVocalBaby We are both from Europe and could also tell the people that if you buy silver in Europe (and in some places also gold), you would pay a value added tax on it. When you sell it, you would pay it again. That's the reason silver is not popular here.

  • @silverfuturist It's true. In most parts of Europe people are taxed for having a TV or a radio. People in Europe are in general hardly taxed by an approx. 50% income tax and with the money left they go to shop and pay again approx. 20% value added tax. Europe still has a central planning implemented by Marxist's ideas to manage most of other's people money. It's very likely the current economy won't support this much longer. It's no surprise capital is now leaving Europe and flow to Asia.

  • @silverfuturist People that claim they have no TV set are visited by the agents that have the right to enter your home to look for a TV set or a radio. Some countries in Europe tax every home even if they don't have these devices. In some countries additional tax is added to a memory media (hard disks, CDs, DVDs) to pay musical artists that can't earn enough money on a free market. I would rather not to talk about the cost for just having a car here in Europe.

  • @silverfuturist In Ireland you have to pay a license if you have a TV. If you don't let them in when they come knocking, they'll threaten to get a search warrant and get the polcie to kick in your front door to search for a TV.

  • @MrVocalBaby Did you check with your local government about such a tax? What if this man just wanted to rob you or worse.....be careful. Remember you can't trust everyone.

  • @CHEECHAKOSMONTANA The tax is collected by the national gov. The guy who came showed me his badge and didn't look threatening at all so I didn't worry about it too much.

  • @MrVocalBaby You're under no obligation to let them in, or even talk to them. They're not government goons, just reps working for Capita. I agree with SF though, I stopped watching the TV about 5 years ago and its incredible the amount you learn that the mainstream media would never tell you

  • Another phenomenal vid. Thanks once again brother.

  • vote yes on prop 19

  • I am a big silver and gold bug. I started buying huge amount of silver and gold last year from APMEX. But there 100 oz silver bar jumped up from +39c to +69c over spot an oz. On some early Utube video i heard you talking about tulving.com. There 100 oz silver bar are +29c over spot and free shipping. That sound to good to be true. I want to buy a huge amount of silver before the FED meeting. Can you guys tell me if they are a scam or review of them if you brought from them before. Thanx

  • @xsilvertigerx They are for real, it is the quantity that enables them to have good prices. They have been around since the 70s, John Wayne used them!

  • @xsilvertigerx - I've purchased gold and silver from Tulving for over 10 years. Never a glitch. Products delivered on time and quality as advertised.

  • Wait till you learn thr truth about Floride...

  • Our "protection agencies" are a complete jokes, alot of them. Collecting millions of dollars to turn a blind eye while the Gulf is destroyed. The problem is nothing is not enough is done about these corrupt agencies. There has to be accountability. Until there is an axe brought down on these agencies it will continue to happen.

  • Wheat grass is being used now to produce ethanol, rather than hemp because it grows so fast. Its not a solution of its own as it required shitloads of land and competes with food crops

  • You are absolutely right- the 'box' is for selling us crap we don't need, when there is a universe of healthful, natural things out there for us to avail ourselves of, at dirt cheap prices.

    Go on, get out of control, we love it.

  • Yeah Joe! Keep on posting, brother. The veil is beginning to lift, for some, slowly but surely.

  • Not only did Ford make a car from hemp, but it also ran on fuel made from hemp.

  • Jello Biafra‬ - Grow More Pot‬

  • GREAT VIDEO! No better way to describe "the box", just mind blowing how simple and obvious it's role is. This is by far my most favorite video of your's Joe!

    -Anthony

  • Got coins ...not in this video... thx Joe Blow.. Hemp farmer... learned a lot friend. thx Bob

  • i shut down my TV 2 years ago.. I really makes a difference.

  • Have you ever researched all the uses for bamboo? It's amazing stuff similar to hemp, but it is another overlooked solution.

  • @RUBuyingSilver I will check out bamboo!

  • @RUBuyingSilver I have a shirt made from bamboo.

  • YOU DA MAN JOE!

  • the expert for the us government would say he smoked then turned into a bat and flew around the room for an hour,his testimonie in court.....outside the idiot box great consept

  • I stopped watching tv about 2 years ago, and I'm quite thankful I did.

  • the expert for the us government would say he smoked then turned into a bat and flew around the room for an hour,his testimonie in court.

  • Hemp grows in poor soil without commercial fertilizer and pesticides.  Hemp puts nutrients back in the soil. Hemp oil can replace oil.

  • This was your best video ever! Buy used, buy American! Revive the American economy with Hemp products. Buy Silver and Now! Silver and Hemp, yes, I can dig it! Thank you for posting this video!

  • Krusty Kitty is cute!

  • Nice deal on the ties Joe. Couldn't agree more on the drugs and the idiot box. Until 1913 all drugs were legal in the US and addiction was rare. Personally, I don't do any drugs but like Ron Paul, I think legalization is important if we are to ever to have a free society again.

  • Check out Yamuna Body Rolling. Great for keeping youself in alignment and releasing muscle. I don't sell it, just empowered by it. :)

  • I still watch some TV but much less than I used to. It is becoming very boring due to the lack of variety in the reporting of the news. The stories are out there, the MSM is not reporting them. Most of the newer programs seem so synthetic having no soul to them. The war on drugs is propaganda. It should be done away with. Its time to leave people alone and let them get on with their lives.

  • Hemp is more useful than catnip.

  • 'druggie' lol i havent heard that since my mom used to call me and my friends, 'druggies'

  • apparently people have drug tested positive for opiates on eating poppy seeds

  • Dude, you blew 25 bucks on ties??? Please say it isn't so.

  • @tabcan speaking of 25 bucks, check out the silver price. I have no idea what you are talking about. I just came in the comments section to see if anyone else noticed silver is about 25 bucks an ounce and i saw your comment. I didn't even watch the video to comment section.

  • @Numonic7 i meant ABOVE 25 bucks.

  • I'm glad to hear you talking about this. I turned off my idiot box years ago. Your videos are wayyyy better!

  • I'm glad you woke up Joe. The war on drugs aka the war on the American people, is a propaganda tool to control the masses. I hated when you proudly proclaimed "I don't use drugs"...repeating the Anheuser Busch funded push against hemp. Why would the United States government make hemp a schedule I drug (saying it is the most harmful plant) and then, put a patent on Canabanoids? This patent contradicts the governments proclamation that this natural plant has no medicinal values. It is pure evil.

  • Lifting of the veil.

  • You forgot to tell people the most important thing about hemp... it cures cancer and dozens of other diseases. Do a Youtube search for Rick Simpson "Run From The Cure". Also, here's a man's personal story of curing cancer with hemp oil (not hemp seed oil, the oil needs THC to work).

    I hated when Joe would follow the party line and say he does not use psychedelics, like a badge of honor. It's not. It's your brain, not the government.

    Also, watch this:

    /watch?v=Xbp6umQT58A

  • Good to see you're finding stuff on hemp. The history is pretty interesting. The propaganda is pathetic, but then, propaganda isn't aimed at people who think about things. v=bM_vLk1I6G4

  • abiotic oil

  • @drey983

    true...but we still DON'T NEED IT!!!

  • 50,000 OIL BASED products at the BARE MINIMUM would be replaced if hemp would come into play again...and that is with it being ILLEGAL.

    Imagine we dedicated like a tiny fraction of a percent of our energy to figuring out what we could do with hemp...we would probably figure out that you could cure CANCER with it.....

    Guess what...someone did...

    "Rick Simpson, Run from the CURE"

    Watch it...

    Meanwhile Canada wants to arrest him for having helped people NOT DIE!!!

    Everything, is upside down!

  • Using hemp to solve the energy crisis will destroy farmland. After all,the idea behind spreading manure is to return those elements back to the land where it originally came.

    Not all elements come from the soil though. Soybeans,alfalfa,and clover get nitrogen from the air, bringing it to the soil.

  • Since the United States has very little manufacturing anymore, maybe we can produce Hemp for world use in the production of oil, plastics, cloth material and so on. Just a thought. WB

  • Love the Idiot box!!! So True

  • Awesome as always, Joe and I agree 100%. Happy Halloween my friend!

  • P,S,Read Botany of desire

  • Linen a staple fabric is of high durability and comfort, comes from the Flax plant, much like hemp it can be used for all sorts of great things, and grows almost anywhere (just like hemp)

    Isn't life grand?

  • Any thing you can get out of a barrel of oil you can get from hemp,the only difference, hemp is renewable.

  • THC in hemp has also been found to kill cancerous tumors. Google "Harvard TCH cancer study". There's many more studies out there that back Harvard's research. Check out PhoenixtearsDOTca or just Google Rick Simpson's THC hemp oil treatment for cancer.

  • @StevenM818 Yep. There's a ton of stuff on THC and cancer in peer reviewed sources. Pub med is a website for biological papers published. Quick eg here. ncbi ( dot ) nlm ( dot ) nih ( dot ) gov ( / ) pubmed ( / ) 20649976

    For most of us, propaganda is a greater persuader than science. A pity really.

  • hemp will be illegal until the big corp.s want to profit off of it. All the people in Cali who vote against prop 19 will vote for it in a decade or two and both times their votes will follow the propaganda spewed forth by the same corporations.

    If god didn't want them to be sheared he wouldn't have made them sheep.

  • Interestingly, Standard oil (perhaps it was Mobil), General Motors, and one of the big tire companies bought controlling interests in many of the rail transit companies around the country and pretty much run them into the ground. GM sold the idea on the then new diesel engines so buses that they built could change routes and run on tires, the oil companies won on both deals.

    It isn't just a story in the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where the Red line was destroyed, in favor of the freeway...

  • I had heard fantastic things about switchgrass a few years ago in regards to use as a biofuel. It grows 10 feet or so, grows vigorously and is prevalent throughout the prairies of N.America. I saw experiments as to how much better of an alternative fuel to corn based ethanol switchgrass could be, there were many advantages. Of course, I knew then & there that it could not become a reality for mankind...so freakin sad.
