The Davos Question - Hemp and Cannabis

The most useful plant on the planet is illegal, and with overpopulation and peak oil just around the corner, it's time we re-evaluated our attitude about hemp, cannabis AND marijuana.

actualy the most useful plant is Amaranth

[eequalsfb]

Not even close, sir.

You can't build a house or power an airplane with Amaranth. You can't replace the timber/paper industry and save the rain forest with amaranth. There are no medicinal qualities in amaranth, and it's relative nutritional value is dubious.

Prevents absorption of calcium? No thanks. I'll stick with my hemp flour.

Yea, there is a ton of stuff I would have loved to cover in this video, but I was trying to hit 4:20 seconds. LOL!

Good video. I agree that Marijuana should be legalized. Not to be nit-picky though, I disagree with the statistic that Marijuana causes zero deaths annually.  For one thing, there are DUI deaths due to Marijuana. Also, while I think it should be legalized, it should be well-known that long-term usage reduces fertility and does damage brain cells, but, tobacco and alcohol are legal and they are both FAR more dangerous. And the other usages for the plant seal the deal.

[eequalsfb]

I dont want to nit-pick either, but any potential deaths that may be caused by impairment are the result of driving under the influence, NOT marijuana. Also, a positive result for marijuana only indicates that a person has smoked marijuana in the last few weeks, NOT that they are impaired while driving. So, EVERY traffic fatality involving a person who smokes marijuana (even responsibly), will register a positive test result. ZERO deaths annually can be attributed to marijuana alone.

LEGALIZE IT

@eequalsfb Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Teff are all good gluten free foods, But Cannabis is a Superfood, and Medicine! The government and pharmaceutical companies make money by keeping it illegal.

Nice JOB! Ron Paul and Barney Frank are bringing a bill to the floor today in congress formerly known as HR 5843. Call your congress person and tell them that this is a good start and that they should support this bill and more bills that ultimately help us legalize industrial hemp.

[HempLogic]

Great summary. Keep spreading the word and one day soon hemp will be re-legalized in the USA.

[JanakBlue]

@duboisiboy You're right, in fact, a study that was cited in The Union just so happened to find the exact opposite;

cannabis use may actually increase brain cell production and activity.

[BloodTar]

Until you get the pothead stigma away from hemp then it will never be legalized. I suggest that the next time there are any "legalize pot" rallies, that you cancel them because they nothing to help the legalization of hemp for any industrial use.

[duboisiboy]

@kenotube Smoking marijuana does not damage brain cells

[mrchakabot]
