Hemp for Victory (full version)

United States Department of Agriculture, 1942

Hemp for Victory is an educational film promoting hemp farming in the United States. This film contains high-quality information about the Cannabis Sativa plant and large-scale hemp production for industrial use. It has the thorough-yet-entertaining feeling of a Mr. Rogers factory-tour video.

The farkinga version of the film is an improvement on previously available editions:

1) the audio and video are synced
2) the complete film is time-compressed into 10 minutes

The original version of Hemp for Victory is in the public domain because it is a production of the US government.

I'm guessing he had to speed up the video to make it fit into 10 minutes. that would explain why the voice is fast.

[farkinga]

Exactly. The previous version had to be 2 parts: one 10 minutes and one 3 minutes. Since I made it fit into a single, 10-minute video, it is now easier to share the link.

Unfortunately, the talking is fast, but I did adjust the audio frequency so that the voice range would sound normal, instead of the narrator having a helium/chipmunk voice.

totally - I love how they managed to include naval battle scenes in a DOA film.

You can't get high off hemp... it has 0.03% THC or less. Marijuana on the other hand can be up to 30% THC.

I thought the higher speeds was to avoiding a copy write charge. Smoke hemp and you can talk like the announcer to and even better. Now Now you all know that Mr Ed was dumb but after sucking up some hemp and he be a talking ever since - a horse is a horse a horse of course unless it is the famous mr ed people yak and yak but mr ed will never speak unless he be at dat der hemp again -- oh willbur come spike my oats again and stick buble gum up my ass and I blow bubbles for ya there to pop.
