Why the tycoons fear hemp: From drugs to oil Why the tycoons fear hemp: From drugs to oil

I like to refer to the US government's prohibition of cannabis as a "policy of enforced extinction."

Marijuana is the term used for the premature flowers (or buds) of the cannabis plant; cannabis and marijuana cannot be separated, unless the lifespan of the plant is cut short before natural reproduction has a chance to take place. What we now term "dirt weed" and "schwag" - you know, the stuff that doesn't really get you high - are the wild unrefined strains of cannabis that have a much lower potency when smoked; and some people for this reason call these plants "hemp," as if it is distinct from marijuana; but these plants still have flowers and they are still smokable and there's nothing that I'm aware of to suggest that the flowers of these cannabis plants should not be called marijuana.

To call a plant a "hemp plant" is not really correct, hemp and marijuana are both separate parts of one plant; the cannabis plant. Of course, when people think of marijuana today it is a much more potent item than it ever was before the plant was domesticated and bred for potency over many hundreds or maybe thousands of generations. If you smoke with someone who hasn't smoked since the 60's, they would be very surprised at how powerful the modern product is. So while there may be grounds for a distinction between varieties of cannabis; hemp and marijuana will not do it because hemp and marijuana are parts of the cannabis plant that all cannabis plants have in common. If we were to make an accurate distinction we would need to use different words; perhaps species names.

Anyway, on with the history lesson (or at least my version of it). Of course, there were and all the racist reasons for marijuana prohibition, as there were with the prohibition of most of the better known illicit drugs. But hemp, which refers to the fibrous strands that can be made from the stalks of the cannabis plant, has incredible potential for commercial and industrial applications. The fiber is very strong and was used for centuries for all the lines and rigging on ships, as well as to make the canvas for the sails.

Obviously I don't support using hemp for industrial purposes (because I don't support using anything for industrial purposes) but here is a list of all the things that hemp can be used to make - from the website of the HIA or Hemp Industries Association:

'Accessories
back packs, bags, beanies, belts, briefcases, caps, checkbook covers, gloves, guitar straps, hair ties, hats (knit, crocheted & fabric), hip packs, jewelry, luggage, purses, scarves, shawls, shoe laces, shoes, socks, ties, travel kits, wallets, watchbands

Animal Care
beds, bedding, feed, leashes & collars, treats

Apparel
baby clothes, bathrobes, dresses, jackets, jeans, lingerie, overalls, pants, shirts, shorts, skirts, suits, sweaters, tees

Body Care
hair conditioners, lip balms, lipsticks, lotions, massage oils, nutritional oils, salves, shampoos, soaps, tanning lotions

Foods
beer, breads, brownies, burgers, chips, chocolate bars, coffees, cookies, defatted hempseed meal, shelled hempseeds, dry mixes - cake, cookie, pancake & pizza dough, energy bars, flour, hummus, ice cream (non-dairy desserts), nut bars, nut-butter, oil, pasta, pretzels, protein powders, roasted seeds, salad dressings, spiced hemp seeds

Housewares
aprons, blankets, curtains, couch covers, dish cloths, furniture, hammocks, potholders, pillows, placemats, napkins, shower curtains, tablecloths, towels, washcloths

Paper
art papers, bond, bookmarks, books, cigarette papers, corrugated board, envelopes, invitations, journals, magazines, postcards, posters, stationery, writing pads, books, magazines, newsletters, research papers

Raw Hemp
bast fiber, batting (tow), long fiber (line or sliver) for industry & craft use, hurds (core), seed stock, seed grain

Sports Equipment
basketball nets, frisbees, hackie sacks, skateboards, snowboards, surfboards

Spun Hemp
twine, rope, yarn, webbing, thread

Textiles
hand-woven & mill-loomed fabrics: blended silks to canvas, various weights & textures, colors, patterns, stripes & plaids; knits; finishing services; non-woven matting (replacing fiberglass); carpets & rugs

Other
dolls, candles, coffee filters, drums, picture frames, teddy bears, toys'

Wow, look at all those possibilities!

Congress knew that they could never get away with outlawing a natural plant that grew in the dirt, so (with heavy lobbying by people who would soon form the petroleum/plastics industry) they found a clever way to make both industrial and recreational cannabis effectively illegal without outlawing them outright. In 1937 the US Congress passed the "Marihuana Tax Act," which meant that one had to have a special permit to grow cannabis so that it could be taxed by the government. Permits were issued to farmers all over the Midwest during World War II as part of the war effort, but when the war ended the permits were all allowed to expire, no new permits were issued and those caught growing cannabis were charged with some form of tax infraction or tax evasion. Immediately after World War II,

the growth of suburban America exploded and the returning soldiers settled down to make families and stuff their suburban houses with untold numbers of plastic items and other petroleum derived products. As can be seen in the products list above, hemp posed a significant threat to market-share of many of the products that the petrol-barrons wanted to push, and so it was very convenient for hemp to be illegal.

There was very little penalty for possession of cannabis until 1970 when the Controlled Substances Act was passed, and ever since then the penalty has been getting ever harsher.

Why The Tycoons Fear Hemp: From Drugs to Oil

"Pot is NOT harmful to the human body or mind. Marijuana does NOT pose a threat to the general public. Marijuana is very much a danger to the oil companies, alcohol, tobacco industries and a large number of chemical corporations. Various big businesses, with plenty of dollars and influence, have suppressed the truth from the people.

The truth is if marijuana was utilized for its vast array of commercial products, it would create an industrial atomic bomb! Entrepreneurs have not been educated on the product potential of pot. The super rich have conspired to spread misinformation about an extremely versatile plant that, if used properly, would ruin their companies.

Where did the word 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:

* All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s; Hemp Paper Reconsidered, Jack Frazier, 1974.

* It was LEGAL TO PAY TAXES WITH HEMP in America from 1631 until the early 1800s; LA Times, Aug. 12, 1981.

* REFUSING TO GROW HEMP in America during the 17th and 18th Centuries WAS AGAINST THE LAW! You could be jailed in Virginia for refusing to grow hemp from 1763 to 1769; Hemp in Colonial Virginia, G. M. Herdon.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other founding fathers GREW HEMP; Washington and Jefferson Diaries. Jefferson smuggled hemp seeds from China to France then to America.

* Benjamin Franklin owned one of the first paper mills in America and it processed hemp. Also, the War of 1812 was fought over hemp. Napoleon wanted to cut off Moscow's export to England; Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer.

* For thousands of years, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster's New World Dictionary.

* 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.

* The first Bibles, maps, charts, Betsy Ross's flag, the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were made from hemp; U.S. Government Archives.

* The first crop grown in many states was hemp. 1850 was a peak year for Kentucky producing 40,000 tons. Hemp was the largest cash crop until the 20th Century; State Archives.

* Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China, although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.

* Rembrants, Gainsboroughs, Van Goghs as well as most early canvas paintings were principally painted on hemp linen.

* In 1916, the U.S. Government predicted that by the 1940s all paper would come from hemp and that no more trees need to be cut down. Government studies report that 1 acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of trees. Plans were in the works to implement such programs; Department of Agriculture

* Quality paints and varnishes were made from hemp seed oil until 1937. 58,000 tons of hemp seeds were used in America for paint products in 1935; Sherman Williams Paint Co. testimony before Congress against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.

* Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the CAR ITSELF WAS CONTRUCTED FROM HEMP! On his large estate, Ford was photographed among his hemp fields. The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.

* Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.

* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled 'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.

The following information comes directly from the United States Department of Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:

'...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was indispensable...

...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy as well as of our industries...

...the Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone, American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines; hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore. Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!'

Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film 'Hemp for Victory' did not exist.

Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4 to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:

'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet above the ground, chokes out weeds.
...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and industry.'

In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.

William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.

In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal. Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon, rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.

THE CONSPIRACY

Andrew Mellon became Hoover's Secretary of the Treasury and Dupont's primary investor. He appointed his future nephew-in-law, Harry J. Anslinger, to head the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.

Secret meetings were held by these financial tycoons. Hemp was declared dangerous and a threat to their billion dollar enterprises. For their dynasties to remain intact, hemp had to go. These men took an obscure Mexican slang word: 'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America.

MEDIA MANIPULATION

A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s. Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.

Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and 'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.

Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS:

a violent narcotic.

acts of shocking violence.

incurable insanity.

soul-destroying effects.

under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax.

more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin, cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!

Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.

In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the parents of the baby-boomers.

On April 14, 1937, the Prohibitive Marihuana Tax Law or the bill that outlawed hemp was directly brought to the House Ways and Means Committee. This committee is the only one that can introduce a bill to the House floor without it being debated by other committees. The Chairman of the Ways and Means, Robert Doughton, was a Dupont supporter. He insured that the bill would pass Congress.

Dr. James Woodward, a physician and attorney, testified too late on behalf of the American Medical Association. He told the committee that the reason the AMA had not denounced the Marihuana Tax Law sooner was that the Association had just discovered that marihuana was hemp.

Few people, at the time, realized that the deadly menace they had been reading about on Hearst's front pages was in fact passive hemp. The AMA understood cannabis to be a MEDICINE found in numerous healing products sold over the last hundred years.

In September of 1937, hemp became illegal. The most useful crop known became a drug and our planet has been suffering ever since.

Congress banned hemp because it was said to be the most violence-causing drug known. Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years, promoted the idea that marihuana made users act extremely violent. In



the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger now said the exact opposite. Marijuana will pacify you so much that soldiers would not want to fight.

Today, our planet is in desperate trouble. Earth is suffocating as large tracts of rain forests disappear. Pollution, poisons and chemicals are killing people. These great problems could be reversed if we industrialized hemp. Natural biomass could provide all of the planet's energy needs that are currently supplied by fossil fuels. We have consumed 80% of our oil and gas reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring gas prices."

Kinky Sex, Shocking Death
Pennsylvania man charged with electrocuting wife during nip zip

JANUARY 25--A kinky sex escapade ended this week with the electrocution death of a Pennsylvania woman and the arrest of her husband for manslaughter. According to cops, Toby Taylor, 37, first claimed that his wife Kirsten was shocked by her hair dryer. But he then admitted that the couple was "into weird sexual behaviors," according to a probable cause affidavit. Taylor then explained that he hooks clips to his wife's nipples and "plugs the cord into a electric strip" and shocks her. On Wednesday evening, Taylor said, Kirsten removed her clothes, attached the clips, and shocked herself. He then picked up the electric strip and shocked her several more times, adding that he had placed a piece of electric tape over her mouth during the jolts. After the last shock, Kirsten, 29, "fell over on to her face." Taylor initially thought his wife was joking, but quickly realized she was unconscious. He then dressed her in preparation for driving to the hospital, but instead called 911 when she stopped breathing. Taylor, pictured in the below mug shot, told investigators that the couple had "been engaging in electric shock sex and other types of extreme bondage for about 2 years." He was charged yesterday with involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment and was jailed in the York County lockup (where he remains in custody on $100,000 bail). (3 pages)

A Giant Upset




I think that the stock for for depression medication might be going thru the roof today. I Know I am depressed I mean who wouldn't be, We watched the Best team I have ever seen go 18-0 and Lose the Superbowl in stunning fashion.

You won't even get me to bitch about a few calls or non calls by the Refs. BWOP made that comment on the game.

"7:09pm EST: OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD. Toomer caught that? No offensive pass interference? Wow."

"10:06pm EST: The New York Giants are your Super BLOW XLII CHAMPIONS.

Just kill me and fuck my dead body."
So go check out BWOP.


I would like to hear an explanation as to why this crap happened. Brandon Merriweather falling on the ball and be touched by a Giant only to have them roll him over and take the ball away? WTF is up with that.

The Giants DESERVED TO WIN. They played Better than the Patriots did when it counted and thats all that really needs to be said. The Catch David Tyree made was amazing. I can't figure out how he held onto it. Asante Samuels couldn't neither could Rodney Harrison.

The Patriots had this game in their hands and for the first time this year they couldn't make the play they needed to make.

The worst part is now we get to listen to NEW YORKERS who are always classy and Quiet when their teams win. Hope they feel better now that one of their teams won. Which is more than I can say for Dolphins fans and your gay bunch of Players from 72'.

This Asswipe Dolphins fan has this to say.
Once the game ended, it didn't take much time for the sound of screaming and honking cars to drift through my window. And then it got louder and louder. Now, despite the fact that I'm prone to vicious streaks of misanthropy and often like to revel in my status as an outsider, I do enjoy observing the occasional act of communal celebration. So I put on my jacket and went for a short walk.
I remember the celebrating which happened on these very same blocks back when the Yankees won their World Serieses. I also remember the good-humored mayhem after Aaron Boone hit his home run in 2003.

Tonight was that times ten. Men, women, and children carousing in the streets. Some people running shirtless down the sidewalk, others running drunkenly in front of moving cars. One guy was already selling Giants Super Bowl Champions t-shirts on the street. But my favorite moment which I will always cherish from Super Bowl XLII: Just as I passed a deli, the owner came running to the sidewalk in a frenzy, holding tallboys of Bud in his hands, and yelling "Free Beer! Free Beer!" So I took one, thanked him, and kept walking. About a block later, I thought to myself that I hope he really was the owner of that deli.

Atleast the Patriots will make the Playoffs next year and the Dolphins won't right? or is there something to that streak of Super Bowl Losers not making the playoffs the following year.

At least they are better than Eagles Fans right? Wait they now are going to investigate that superbowl also. Arlen Sphincter wants a congressional hearing? are you fucking kidding me?


Tonight is the Math which i won't be playing since I do not like 6 max. Hope everyone that plays has a great time.

Congrats to the Giants and their fans. Enjoy it cause your team earned it.
Now I am going to go Kick my dog named Brady.

Peace

Super Sunday is Finally here, Tippett makes the HOF.





     The Road to Perfectville. 18 - 0 With 1 more to go. Tonight we are going to see something special.
Either it will be the Patriots becoming only the 2nd TEAM ever to go undefeated and win the SuperBowl.
Or we will see the Biggest Upset ever in the SuperBowl. Bigger than the Patriots Beating the Greatest show on turf or Broadway Joe and the Jets back 50 years ago.

Right now the spread on the game is Patriots -12 11 1/2 and 55 o/u.

My first inclination is to take the points and the over. The Patriots are 1-8 against the spread the last 9 weeks. 11 1/2 is alot but this might be the game where the patriots play like they did early in the season.
I also think that if you go back to the first matchup in week 17 and look at the Patriots defense you will see they they did not play very good. There were alot of missed tackles and they couldn't stop the Giants on 3rd down. The Patriots were also without 2 of their starting offensive linemen.

I think that the Patriots are not going to be sluggish in the first half this time around. I also look for their defense to make a few Big Plays and strech it out early. If they can get up by 10-14 it could ugly Real quick.
I look for it to be close early and for the patriots to win by 10+, I think that Bellechick Won't run up the score so it may not be as close as the Final score would indicate.

My Prediction is 38-21 Patriots. Lets Hope Both teams suffer No major injurys.

Congrats also go out to Andre Tippett who was the 2nd best LineBacker in the 80's only behind LT. The Main Difference Being that Tippett played for from pretty bad Patriots teams and LT played in NY.
Tippett lived a clean life and stayed out of trouble while LT did Drugs But he won superbowls and got all the Press. It is nice to see a Good guy get his Due.

Go Patriots.

Drop The Hammer.


Its not what you say but how you say it.



     Chad has written a Great Post about luck in a MTT. I hope everyone will read this. Now I agree with almost everything KOD says except I Do want to slam him for one statement which shows that he doesn't get it.

most people in bloggaments are just playing for a good time and are TRYING to lay a bad beat. I am guilty of this quite often, I mean its $10, that alone should be an indicator that the luck factor is huge. So in closing, if you have won a lot of bloggaments, you are indeed a lucksack!


See what he doesn't get is that alot of us Don't play many Bigger tourneys. I have never played the 750k on FT or the 1 mill on stars. Why cause those tournies are way out of my bankroll so these little $10 and $26 tourneys are it for me. I may not always play well but I usually try to play my best and I would say that most of us do the same. I also disagree that people are trying to Lay a bad beat unless its on waffles of course. But my point is Your intentionally being a douchebag cause the stakes don't mean anything to you
just shows you DONT GET WHAT THESE BLOGGER TOURNEYS ARE ABOUT. If I wan't to play with a bunch of douchbags I can play in a million different tournies.

I also think That alot of People Don't understand It's NOT WHAT YOU SAY BUT HOW YOU SAY IT.
If you are a friend of mine you could insult my mixed racial heritage, or my Religion or both at the same time like some Friends I have had done. As long as you say it with some humor. But say it in a snotty tone and we are going to have a problem whether you are a friend of mine or not. Why you might ask cause its how you say it not what you say.

Peace
Billy
