Our political slogan....

[patriot]

Since 2008 is an election year, this is what we need to do beginning as soon as you finish reading this post.

We need to organize groups all across the country. Make signs that say, "What About Hemp??"

Whenever there is a political candidate speaking anywhere, take the group there and chant "What About Hemp??" repeatedly. Keep chanting.

The additional logo is :What About Hemp??
Ask your candidate.

Now is our big chance. Ol' Dubya has done us a huge favor by taking all the jobs away and raising the price of oil almost out of the market. My prediction has been that gas will be $5.00 per gallon at the end of this year. Hemp would restore jobs and we could make most of our fuel out of it as well as replacing coal.

People need to know what we could be doing with hemp. We are in a much better position than we were in 1992. People will be more willing to listen now, especially when you talk about lower fuel prices. People do not care that it will take 80% of the pollution out of the air. They will care about the prices. We can replace the heating oil with hemp oil which will be far cleaner, less expensive, and put Americans back to work.

We have the internet as a tool. Print up little flyers with Yahooka.com and other web sites on them for reference. People need to know that if you grow hemp in this country to make paper with, you will be thrown in jail and called a drug dealer. If you grow hemp to make fiber out of for clothing, you will be thrown in jail and called a drug dealer. If you grow hemp to make 8 different types of fuel out of it, they will throw you in jail and call you a drug dealer. By the way, they will also seize your property. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE!!!

Ken Gorman stood up for all of us, as I have also. This is your chance to stand along with us. If this country wants change, let's give it to them. Educate and inform yourselves, then go out and educate and inform the public. You need to get started NOW!!!!

My only caution would be to act strategic and not heckle, which will tend to discredit in the eyes of many observers. Be vocal, but not disrespectful.

In addition, a good slogan for stickers would be "Want lower gas prices? Relegalize hemp." Underneath, a link to hempcar.org. Stick them on gas pumps.

I have seen the current Chevy commercial in which they speak of hydrogen cars and electric cars in the future. One man in the commercial says, "I want to grow my own fuel." The ad ends with "Chevy. From gas friendly to gas free."

Times are changing.

On the Discovery Channel the other week, I saw an alternative fuels special which dealt with the reality of moving beyond conventional fuel in the near future. Besides dealing with cell-phone-like chargers in which you plug the car into the wall, there was an especially captivating section on how Brazil grows all of its own fuel; no imported oil. They use sugarcane.

Imagine the energy revolution which could arise from hemp oil, especially in conjunction with other alternative sources.

seriously man, i randomly starting rereading 'the emperor wears no clothes' and was spouting off facts about the benefits to laypeoples tonight.


what about hemp?

i like that.

good points too kameelyun

[kameelyun]

[Captdoug713]

I drive a water taxi. Our company has 1 million riders a day and in the summer I move about 400 people. I use this as a platform to speak and teach people from across the country. I wear my Hemp pants and Hemp shoes as advertising, and get great feedback. Most people don't realize hemp is illegal to grow and its not the same as pot. Most feel Hemp should be grown in the US and large group say pot should be legal as well. Anyway, I like the "What about Hemp?" idea.

[SmokeSomeDoja]

come to think of it..

i think it was learning about cannabis that began my dissatisfaction with the government - i.e. they are blatantly lying about this, and the average citizen totally buys it...what else are they blatantly lying about?


good ol' cannabis

You and me both bro!!!!

[patriot]

Amen brothers. Let's boogie. Great job Kameelyun. You too Doja. Let's pick up the torch Ken dropped last year. He'll be in front of us all the way clearing obstacles.

[patriot]

Here's what we need to do. Get someone to do some desktop publishing. We can make 4-6 leaflets a page out of 8 1/2 x 11 paper. Black only copies are cheap. The front will say "Ask your candidate-What about hemp." This will encircle a hemp leaf.

On the back will be facts about what hemp could be doing for all of us such as making 8 different types of fuel, clothing, paper, and food products that we could be manufacturing here in this country.

If anyone knows a desktop publisher, PM me and let's get this going.

[Roach]

wow not one single yahooka sticker on that hemp car.

the original hemp car was produced in the 1950's.

the fight for legalization takes money.

Pot smokers have no money.

That's how politicians know there is no pro pot movement.

No............$$$$$$ $

I realize your talking hemp.

But to the average human/politician/voter hemp is pot.


ant that means re-educating those who have been brain washed with this garbage (below) and now believe it to be the Gospel.



MARIJUANA: Facts For Parents

Marijuana is a dangerous, additive drug. THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, is much stronger today than it was in the 1960's. Stronger marijuana means stronger effects.

~~actually the thc is the same ,sometimes you get lucky and there's just more of it.~~

The average age of first time use of marijuana is 13 years of age.

~~older that that of those who first drink on average~~~

Studies show that adolescents who use marijuana are at much higher risk to use other drugs.

Marijuana is fat-soluble and remains in cells for weeks, just like the banned insecticide DDT. The brain is one-third fat, and marijuana impairs thinking and concentrating skills, alters a person's sense of time, and hinders short-term memory. Marijuana has triggered attacks of mental illness, schizophrenia, and bi-polar (manic depressive) psychosis.

~~Marijuana isn't fat soluable only the oils are....gonna go disolve me some marijuana~~

Marijuana impairs motor skills, coordination, perception and judgment and is the cause of car crashes, injuries and trauma.

Marijuana weakens the immune system by impairing white blood cell production. Marijuana smokers have higher rates of cancer and pneumonia than do non-users. Marijuana use can hasten the onset6 and progression of AIDS in HIV-positive individuals.

Marijuana users may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers have.

Marijuana cigarettes are not medicine.

Synthetic THC can be manufactured in a pill, suppository, or nasal spray forms for treating nausea, vomiting, or AIDS-wasting syndrome. However, other, more effective medicines are available.

Marijuana can lower testosterone levels, can decrease sperm county, and can reduce muscle mass in males. In females, marijuana can disrupt menstrual cycles and hormone production.

Parents should talk to children about marijuana's dangers because the well-funded pro-drug lobby is saturating the young people's environments with "do-drug" messages. Marijuana is promoted, marketed, and glamorized through movies, music, toys, comic books, clothing, the Internet, the Hemp Movement, and the "Medical Marijuana" Mythology.

DO YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT MARIJUANA?
***The use of marijuana leads to the use of other drugs. Of those who use marijuana 3 to 10 times, 20 % go on to use cocaine. Of those who use marijuana one hundred or more times, 75 % go on to use cocaine. Based on research by/as reported in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.

***Marijuana causes both dependence and addiction. Addictive use is defined by compulsive repeated use in spite of adverse consequences. Marijuana's effects include tolerance leading to dependence and inability to cease use. Based on research by Dr. Mark Gold published in his book Marijuana.

***The effects of marijuana persist much longer than the effects of alcohol. Using a computerized flight simulator, an experiment on pilots showed that their ability to land a plane was still impaired 24 hours after smoking one marijuana cigarette. Based on research by Dr. B. Leirer in Aviation, Space & Environmental Medicine.

***Marijuana impairs perception, judgment, thinking, memory and learning. Memory defects may persist for 6 weeks after last marijuana use. Based on research by Dr. Richard Schwartz, Vienna Pediatrics Associates in the American Journal of Diseases of Children.

***Long-term use of marijuana may cause irreversible memory problems. Marijuana users find it more difficult to separate irrelevant information from the relevant, their reaction times are longer and electrical activity of the brain is slowed. Based on research by Macquarie University, Sydney in conjunction with Australia's National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre.

***A cannabis (marijuana)-state-dependent effect in users includes weaknesses in analytic and synthetic skills. This includes having difficulty sorting out information, synthesizing and classifying information correctly and understanding subtle shades of meaning. Based on research by Dr. Lundquist in Life Sciences.

***It's not just alcohol that caused impaired crashes. A roadside study of reckless drivers who were not impaired by alcohol, showed that 45% of these drivers tested positive for marijuana. Based on research by Dr. Dan Brookoff, published in the New England Journal of Medicine.

***A 1995 study of blood samples take from one thousand four hundred and forty-one dead or impaired drivers across Canada found marijuana present in 38 % of these samples. Based on research by Dr. Wayne Hindmarsh, Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Manitoba and Wayne Jeffery, R.C.M.P. Police Forensic Laboratory.

***Marijuana smoke produces airway injury, acute and chronic bronchitis, lung inflammation, and decreased pulmonary defenses against infection. Smoking one marijuana cigarette leads to airway deposition of four times as much cancer-causing tar as does tobacco smoke. Based on research by Dr. D. Tashkin as reported in the Western Journal of Medicine.

***Cases of cancer from marijuana use are now well documented. In one California study, 90% of young cancer patients are marijuana smokers compared with 40% or young people in California as a whole. Based on research by Dr. P. Donald in Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery.

***Cases of cancer, including cancer of the mouth, tongue, larynx, jaw, head, neck, and lungs have been reported in young marijuana smokers that would not occur in tobacco smokers until much later in life. Based on research by/reported in Otolaryngology, Head & Neck Surgery, the Journal of the American Medical Association and Southern Medical Journal.

***Saying nobody ever died from smoking marijuana is like saying nobody ever died from smoking tobacco. Marijuana contains the same cancer causing chemicals as tobacco. Marijuana contains acetone, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, carbon monocide, benzene, benzopyrene, nitrosamines and many other cancer causing pollutants. Based on research by G. Huber in Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior.

***Marijuana causes many mental disorders, including acute toxic psychosis, panic attacks, flashbacks, delusions, depersonalizations, hallucinations, paranoia, depression and "uncontrollable feelings of aggression". Based on research by Dr. Richard Schwartz, Vienna Pediatrics Association in Pediatric Clinics of North America.

***Marijuana has long been known to trigger attacks of mental illness, such as bipolar (manic-depressive) psychosis and schizophrenia. It has been shown that marijuana users are six times more likely to develop schizophrenia than are non-users. Based on research by Dr. S. Andreasson published in Britain's The Lancet.

***Babies born to mothers who use marijuana during pregnancy have eleven times the risk of getting childhood leukemia. These children are the innocent victims of their parents' marijuana use. Based on research by Dr. L. Robinson in the publication Cancer and Dr. J. Buckley in Cannabis: Physiopathology, Epidemiology, Detection.

***Fetal Marijuana Symptoms are similar to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome -- two diseases children are born with that are totally preventable. One of the leading specialists in cellular heredity, Dr. Akira Morishima of Columbia University, has said that his 20 years of research on human cells he has never found any other drug, including heroin, which comes close to the DNA damage caused by marijuana.

***Children exposed to marijuana prenatally have increased behavioral problems, and they have decreased visual perception, language comprehension, attention span and memory. These children are the innocent victims of their parents marijuana use. Based on research by Dr. Peter Fried of the Ottawa Prenatal Prospective Study.

***Children prenatally exposed to marijuana experienced more than two times the number of sleep arousals at night and more awake time after each sleep arousal than children not prenatally exposed to marijuana. Based on research by/published in The Archives of Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine.

***There are significant negative effects of prenatal marijuana exposure on the performance of children in standard intelligence test. On average, children exposed prenatally to marijuana will have a lower IQ compared to children who are not exposed. Based on research by Dr. Day et al, in Neurotoxicology and Teratology.

***In males, marijuana use diminishes testosterone production and lowers sperm count. In females, marijuana use disrupts hormone cycles. Marijuana is mutagenic, fetotoxic (poisonous to the fetus) and impairs RNA and DNA synthesis. Based on research by Dr. Mark Gold in his book Marijuana and Drs. Latour and Nahas in the Medical Journal of Australia.

***Marijuana impairs the white blood cells which fight infection. Marijuana also causes decreased resistance to diseases such as herpes. Marijuana smokers have increased outpatient visits for respiratory illnesses, accidents and other illnesses. Based on research by Drs. Spector, Djeu, Watzl and Cabral in Advances in Experimental Medicine & Biology and the Western Journal of Medicine.

***HIV positive marijuana smokers have increased incidence of bacterial pneumonias in comparison to non-smokers. HIV positive smokers develop full-blown AIDS twice as fast as non-smokers. Based on research by/in the journal, AIDS Weekly 1993, and Dr. Neiman, in the journal, AIDS 1993.

***Who is really killing our rain forests? The United Nations reports that in Jamaica, marijuana growers plant their crops on isolated mountain slopes disturbing fragile forest soils. Growers clear, cut, and destroy the forests exposing fertile soil to runoff and erosion, causing permanent damage to forests.

If the brainwash were true, I would have been either deathly sick or dead by now after over 35 years of chronic cannabis use. They need to treat all drug users the same. Fines and jail sentences for all those who use tobacco and alcohol. They tried that with alcohol for 16 years. Led to crime and drug dealers. Sound familiar??

You are correct that people are brainwashed into thinking that hemp is cannabis. This comes from Korporate Amerikaa. With oil pricing itself out of the market, people are looking for alternative fuels that would be cheaper.
