The Truth of Cannabis [ Revised ]

· Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops (Hemp) would provide all of America's Energy needs.
· Biomass can be converted into methane, methanol, or gasoline (which could eliminate our ties with the Middle East) at a cost comparable to petroleum and hemp is much better for the environment.
· Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulfur pollution.
· The use of Hemp Fuel does not contribute to global warming
· Hemp seed can be pressed into nutritious oil, which contains the highest amount of fatty acids in the plant kingdom. Essential oils are responsible for our immune system responses, and can clear the arteries of cholesterol and plaque.
· The byproduct of pressing the oil from hemp seed is a high quality protein seed cake. It can be used to bake into cakes, breads and casseroles. Hemp seed protein is one of mankind's finest, most complete, and available-to-the body vegetable proteins.
· A Vegan or vegetarian can get all of the days required protein from a handful of hemp seed.
· Hemp is the oldest cultivated fiber plant in the world.
· Low-THC fiber hemp varieties developed by the French and others have been available for over 20 years. It is impossible to get high from fiber hemp. Over 600,000 acres of hemp is grown worldwide with no misuse problem.
· One acre of hemp can produce as much usable fiber as 4 acres of trees or two acres of cotton.
· Trees cut down take 50-500 years to grow, while hemp can be cultivated in as little as 100 days and can yield 4 times more paper over a 20 year period.
· Until 1883, from 75-90\% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including that for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks and bonds, newspapers, etc.
· Hemp paper is longer lasting than wood pulp, stronger, acid-free, and chlorine free (Chlorine is estimated to cause up to 10\% of all Cancers).
· Hemp paper can be recycled 7 times, wood pulp 4 times.
· Hemp particleboard may be up to 2 times stronger than wood particleboard and holds nails better.
· Hemp is a softer, warmer, and more water absorbent, than cotton and doesn't stretch out.
· Half of the U.S. pesticides are used to treat cotton, while hemp has a natural pesticide.
· Almost any product that can be made from wood, cotton, or petroleum (including plastics) can be made from hemp. There are 25,000 known uses for hemp.
· For thousands of years virtually all good paints and varnishes were made with hemp seed oil and/or linseed oil.
· One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees, making hemp a perfect material to replace trees for pressed board, particle board, and concrete construction molds.
· Heating and compressing plant fibers can create a practical, inexpensive, fire-resistant constructions material with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities.
· In 1941 Henry Ford built a plastic car made of fiber from hemp and wheat straw. Hemp is biodegradable, as synthetic plastic is not.
· Presidents Washington and Jefferson both grew hemp. Americans were legally bound to grow hemp during the Colonial Era and Early Republic.

"Some of my finest hours have been spent on my back veranda smoking hemp and observing as far as my eye can see"
-Thomas Jefferson 1781

Make the most of the Indian hemp seed, and sow it everywhere. ~George Washington, The writings of George Washington Vol 33, page 270 (Library of Congress), 1794

[The95alvarojose]

this is pure bullshit!!!

[silversobe]

@The95alvarojose Look up the history and facts man, its all documented and provable.

[The95alvarojose]

@silversobe lets pretend that this is all true::: then why dont they legalize it!?!?! i mean in the video it sound like if weed was better than women!!

[silversobe]

@The95alvarojose If I was the owner of an oil industry, would I really want to see my profits squashed by an abundant alternative? Even if it's socially beneficial for all, I would be loosing profits, and that's bad buisness. Imagine if hemp was now legal for full industrial use. The lumber, cotton, synthetic fiber, and oil industries would all suffer since they would now be in competition with emerging hemp industries that could potentially replace their demand, Especially for lumber and oil.

[polmp789]

i wonder is this all true?? and if so then why dont ppl do this ?

[silversobe]

@polmp789 Its true..people are not aware of these facts. But most importantly, the hemp plant is so dynamic in efficiency and uses, it undermines the need for oil, cotton, lumber, and many other industries that would be out of buisness if the plant was used to its full potential.

"Why use up the forests which were centuries in the making and the mines which required ages to lay down, if we can get the equivalent of forest and mineral products in the annual growth of the hemp fields?"-Henry Ford

[Koolvedge]

Nature says it's legal, that's all we need to know. Why as an evil oppressing devil to let nature grow? Authority outlaws plants and even people. Plants give people the courage to defeat the wicked. Ganja is a plant that lets the truth come out of you, this is why they feared the peace pipe. It was revealing their lies. Eat more, smoke less, but please remember, it is better to live in accordance with nature than govt.

[rasmusinterstellar]

really great movie, this one intersting. legalize it & make the world a better place...

[XNickdaninjaX]

@666GrizzlyBeast Weed doesn't make you dumb. It doesn't effect your brain. The only harm we truly know it does it from the smoke entering out lungs, but that is just because it's smoke, not to do with the weed itself. Also, there are many other ways to take it, such as edibles and things like that.

[666GrizzlyBeast]

yo i kind of have doubt in this stuff. i smoke weed im no critisizer. but i heard friends tell me of seeing burned out people that smoked so much they barely have braincells.(ive never seen one myself) whats the burned out peoples excuse. y r they like that? also is the person saying it can you smarter?

[theniggrshit69]

the only reason they arent legalizing weed is cause of the tobacco industry..FUCK TOBACCO! WEEDS BETTER FOR YOU ANYWAY! its all these tight ass panzy mother fuckers who are against weed and they dont know what the fuck their talking about. "oh it kills you!" there are no recorded deaths from weed. yet k2 is still legal and that sent troops to the hospitol. so whoever still hates on pot, fuck you pussy.

[GordiusKnot]

just a little question concerning the contribution of the combustion of marijuana fuel to the effects of global warming; isn't a product of combustion CO2, which is invariably a constituent factor of global warming?

[QueenBeeCulpus]

Amazing !!!! Love the info,,,, something the "good 'ol boys club" ie, the government ... Does NOT want you to know ....

[ipunch99]

@Koolvedge nice comment man!

:D :D :D

[pojo205]

@The95alvarojose

It isn't legal because it would cost the pharmaceutical companies billions of dollars per year. Also because of Republicans and oil companies. And it is all true, you can't OD on it, it isn't addictive, it may stimulate brain growth, it treats over 200 ailments and illnesses, it doesn't damage the lungs. Did you know if we legalized marijuana and taxed it, our nation debt of 14 trillion dollars would be paid off within a decade or two?

[Manuelc33]

@The95alvarojose

Sorry you feel that way man, but the fact is that its totally true, and we live in a country that is powered by greed. Do you not realize that a plant can not be patented? So where is the profit in that? Did you know that Hemp was used for just about everything? When you say things without taking the time to even try and find out the basics of hemp, then you only make yourself sound ignorant... Silly Stoner, one day you will be illuminated,

[Basses145]

@The95alvarojose O ok well my apologies then. I can definetely say that alot of this is true but your right maybe not everything but damn near close
