Hemp for Victory

Hemp For Victory is a World War II public education film made by the United States government which encourages farmers to grow industrial hemp for the war effort. For anyone not familiar with this part of cannabis history it's a definite must-see.
It's quite bizarre to see the US government enthusiastically promoting hemp only a few years after spending vast resources on demonizing the plant and making it illegal in the 1930s.

Better yet, ask the herion addict where they started: tobacco, alcohol, or cannabis? Let's find out what the true "gateway"drugs are.

Obviously mother milk is the true and only gateway 'drugs' to everything.

This is what you write about yourself "I'm a spiritual person, who loves humanity. I'm not some right wing Christian activist, but I do believe that we are created equal and every human being is valuable"

And then you write a comment like this,- you are a fucking lying asshole,- a stupid fucking moron without brain, go fuck yourself you idiot.

You're a fucking idiot.

Why are you talking? Better yet, why are you alive?

@krogshede

Except the fact that alot of the active drugs/cannabinoids in cannabis are VERY medicinally valuable.

If you support keeping it outlawed, you're an evil sack of shit.

[ViolentVendetta]

no... its only breeding... it dosnt exist any genetically modified marihuana... all cannabis strain for the fibre production is bred like the strains with high thc... but the fibrehemp is only selected for a high and tall growth not for high thc and big buds ; )
