In the later times, some shall speak lies in hypocrisy commanding to abstain from meats which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. Every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused if it be received with thanksgiving. For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.(Paul: 1 Timothy 4:1-6)

* Hemp extracts can be used to treat a variety of physical and mental ailments which include tuberculosis, glaucoma, depression, and the side effects of cancer therapy. Prior to this century, cannabis extracts were the most commonly used medicines throughout the world.

* “The hemp seed is the highest of any plant in essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are responsible for our immune response...and contribute to…more disease resistance.” (Hempseed Nutrition by Lynn Osburn).

* Hempseed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away. (Czechoslovakia Tubercular Nutritional Study, 1955.)

* Hemp seed protein more closely resembles that of the human body than soy; it is also easier to digest. Hemp contains a richer source of essential fatty acid oils than soy. These oils prevent heart disease and build the immune system. Hemp also resists UV-B light, which is a kind of sunlight that is blocked by the ozone layer. Soy beans do not take UV-B light very well. If the ozone layer were to deplete by 16%, which by some estimates is very possible, soy production would fall by 25-30%. We may have to grow hemp or starve -- and it won't be the first time that this has happened. Hemp has been used to "bail out" many populations in time of famine.

* Hemp grain is the most nutritionally complete seed on the planet for human consumption. Each hemp seed contains 25% protein. This protein is more easily digestible than the protein in soybeans because it contains a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are important for strengthening your immune system and protecting you from disease. Fish oil and flax oil are also high in EFA's, but hemp contains the most perfect ratio of EFA's for human consumption. Hemp grain is also high in iron and calcium and is an excellent source of dietary fiber

* Ralph Loziers, general counsel of the National Institute of Oilseed Products, told the Congressional committee studying marijuana prohibition in 1937 that, “Hemp seed… is used in all the Oriental nations and also in a part of Russia as food. It is grown in their fields and used as oatmeal.

* Hemp seed oil has been called Nature's perfect blend of Essential Fatty Acids due to the large amount of these substances contained in the oil. Specifically Hemp seed oil has large amounts of Lineolenic (Omega-3), and Lineoleic (Omega-6) fatty acids. These are considered to be essential by nutritionists since humans are unable to synthesize them, thus they must consume them from an external source.

* Many Essential Nutrients Found in Hemp Seed July 27, 2000

According to the latest research, there are about 45 nutrients that humans can't live without and which their bodies can't manufacture: 21 minerals, 13 vitamins, eight amino acids and two essential fatty acids. No single food has them all. But when a food is discovered that is a rich source of several essential nutrients, such as hemp seed, it makes nutrition news. Its promoters bill hemp seed as the soybean of the new millennium. In addition to containing vitamins and minerals (calcium, iron, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin), hemp seed, like the soybean, is a vegetable source of complete protein, having all eight amino acids. Hemp oil (pressed from the hemp seed) is, according to many, the best source of the two essential fatty acids (or EFAs) we can't live without: omega 3 alpha-linolenic acid and omega 6 linoleic acid.

In 1992 a consortium of 20 British farmers requested permission to grow industrial hemp, a crop that had been banned since 1971. Home Office Minister Michael Jack saw no reason to oppose the request since industrial hemp had been grown for years on the Continent "without any problems". The farmers received licenses to cultivate 1500 acres. In 1993 a consortium of 10 Canadian farmers requested permission to grow hemp, a crop that had been banned since 1923. The federal government informed them the law would have to be changed before commercial plots could be harvested. However, seeing that "farmers in Canada are very interested in it", Health Minister Diane Marleau issued a permit for 18 acres of experimental plots. The next year Parliament enabled commercial harvests.

Utrecht, The Netherlands: Compounds in marijuana dramatically protect brain cells during acute head trauma, according to research findings published in this week's Journal of Neuroscience. Researchers reported that THC injected intracerebrally in rats significantly "reduce[d]
neuronal injury ... compared with control animals." Scientists concluded, "These results provide evidence that the cannabinoid system can serve to protect the brain against neurodegeneration."

A HEALTHY BODY IN AND OUT!

* Hemp is a strong, natural medicine: hemp oil is the richest known source of "the good" polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, proven to be effective treatment for patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gallstones, kidney degeneration, acne, dry skin, menstrual problems, and immune deficiency.

* Cannabis extracts served as the second and third most prescribed medicines in the U.S. from 1842 until the 1890's. These medicines ere produced by Eli Lily, Parke-Davis, Tilden's, Brothers Smith. Squib, and other British and American companies. During this entire period of time, there was not one reported death from cannabis extract medicines.

* Hemp extracts can be used to treat a variety of physical and mental ailments which include tuberculosis, glaucoma, depression, and the side effects of cancer therapy. Prior to thiscentury, cannabis extracts were the most commonly used medicines throughout the world.

* Hemp is nutrient-rich: the seeds of the hemp plant contain approximately 25 percent protein, almost as much as soybeans, and in fact are far higher in fiber and certain vitamins and minerals.

* Hemp is delicious: hemp foodstuffs currently on the market include cooking oil, salad dressing,
cheese, flavored seeds, non-dairy milk, hemp flour for high-quality baked goods, and soy-type products such as hemp burgers.

* Hemp is a natural beauty product: hemp seeds are composed of 30 percent oils, which are the highest natural source of linoleic and linolenic acids, the compounds responsible for the luster of skin, hair and eyes; these extracts are now popular ingredients in massage oils, lip balms, soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Cannabis Building Materials & Housing

<a href="http://www.jackherer.com/book/ch02.html" target="_blank">A Brief Summary of the Uses of Hemp </a>

Practical, inexpensive fire-resistant construction material, with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities, is made by heating and compressing plant fibers to creat strong construction paneling, replacing dry wall and plywood. William B. Conde of Conde's Redwood Lumber, Inc. near Eugene, Oregon, in conjunction with Washington State University (1991-1993), has demonstrated the superior strength, flexibility, and economy of hemp composite building materials compared to wood fiber, even as beams.

Isochanvre, a rediscovered French building material made from hemp hurds mixed with lime, actually petrifies into a mineral state and lasts for many centuries. Archeologists have found a bridge in the south of France, from the Merovingian period (500-751 A.D.), built with this process. (See Chenevotte habitat of Rene, France in Appendix I.)

Hemp has been used throughout history for carpet backing. Hemp fiber has potential in the manufacture of strong, rot resistant carpeting - eliminating the poisonous fumes of burning synthetic materials in a house or commercial fire, along with allergic reactions associated with new synthetic carpeting.

Plastic plumbing pipe (PVC pipes) can be manufactured using renewable hemp cellulose as the chemical feedstocks, replacing non-renewable coal or petroleum-based chemical feedstocks.

So we can envision a house of the future built, plumbed, painted and furnished with the world's number-one renewable resource - hemp. When Hemp Saved George Bush's Life

HEMP "EATS" CHERNOBYL WASTE, OFFERS HOPE FOR HANFORD
Central Oregon Green Pages
An explosion at a nuclear reactor on April 26th, 1986 in Chernobyl, Ukraine created the world's worst nuclear disaster - so far. The blast heavily contaminated agricultural lands in a 30 km radius around the reactor. The few people still living there must monitor their food and water for radiation. However the combination of a new technology (phytoremediation) and an old crop (industrial hemp) may offer the Ukraine a way to decontaminate it's radioactive soil. In 1998, Consolidated Growers and Processors (CGP), PHYTOTECH, and the Ukraine's Institute of Bast Crops began what may be one of the most important projects in history - the planting of industrial hemp for the removal of contaminants in the soil near Chernobyl.

DEA Chief Administrator Robert Bonner proceeded to arbitrarily and capriciously disregard Judge Young's well researched and reasoned decision, which the Act allowed him to do.

There you go again, finding POSITIVE things you can do with that dangerous marijuana. You just want to legalize it so you can smoke it.

We all know that you can't do anything positive with that dangerous marijuana because the Amerikkan Government tells us so. And they are so-o-o-o-o honest.

HEMP'S ENERGY PROMISE

With the price of crude oil and gasoline soaring ever higher, there is increasing talk of "alternative energy sources". We all know that the price of gas will never drop below 75 cents per litre again, and that one day, maybe even in the next 20-30 years, we will have to give up on crude oil entirely. So why not start phasing crude oil out right now?

Ethanol fuel from corn is cost prohibitive and causes some environmental damage. Hydrogen cars and their fuel is also cost prohibitive, as are hybrid cars. What we need is some sort of crop that can be grown cheaply and easily and with no environmental damage, and is renewable. That crop is Hemp. ( Enter "Hemp Fuel" in Google )

Here are some interesting facts about Hemp that you should share with the public.

Fuel: Farming 6% of the continental U.S. acreage with biomass crops would provide all of America's energy needs.

Hemp is Earth's number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months.

Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol, or gasoline at a cost comparable to petroleum, and hemp is much better for the environment. Pyrolysis ( charcoalizing ), or biochemical composting are two methods of turning hemp into fuel.

Hemp can produce 10 times more methanol than corn.

Hemp fuel burns clean. Petroleum causes acid rain due to sulphur pollution.

The use of hemp fuel does not contribute to global warming.

Food: Hemp seed can be pressed into a nutritious oil, which contains the highest amount of fatty acids in the plant kingdom. Essential oils are responsible for our immune system responses, and clear the arteries of cholesterol and plaque.

The by-product of pressing the oil from hemp seed is high quality protein seed cake. It can be sprouted ( malted ) or ground and baked into cakes, breads, and casseroles. Hemp seed protein is one of mankind's finest, most complete and available-to-the-body vegetable proteins.

Hemp seed was the world's number one wild and domestic bird seed until the 1937 Marijuana prohibition law.

Fibre: Hemp is the oldest cultivated fibre plant in the world.

Low-THC fibre hemp varieties developed by the French and others have been available for over 20 years. It is impossible to get high from fibre hemp. Over 600,000 acres of hemp is grown worldwide with no drug misuse problem.

One acre of hemp can produce as much usable fibre as 4 acres of trees or two acres of cotton.

Trees cut down to make paper take 50 to 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 fibre 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. )

From 70-90% of all rope, twine, and cordage was made from hemp until 1937.

A strong lustrous fibre; hemp withstands heat, mildew, insects, and is not damaged by light. Oil paintings on hemp and/or flax canvas have stayed in fine condition for centuries.

Medicine: From 1842 through the 1880s, extremely strong marijuana ( then known as cannabis extractums ), hashish extracts, tinctures, and elixirs were routinely the second and third most-used medicines in America for humans ( from birth through old age ). These extracts were also used in veterinary medicine until the 1920s and longer.

For at least 3,000 years prior to 1842 widely varying marijuana extracts ( bud, leaves, roots, etc. ) were the most commonly used real medicines in the world for the majority of mankind's illnesses.

The U.S. Pharmacopoeia indicated cannabis should be used for treating such ailments as fatigue, fits of coughing, rheumatism, asthma, delirium tremens, migraine headaches, and the cramps and depressions associated with menstruation.

In this century, cannabis research has demonstrated therapeutic value and complete safety in the treatment of many health problems including asthma, glaucoma, nausea, tumors, epilepsy, infection, stress, migraines, anorexia, depression, rheumatism, arthritis, and possibly herpes.

Industry: Almost any product that can be made from wood, cotton, or petroleum ( including plastics ) can be made from hemp. There are more than 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.

Hemp stems are 80% hurds ( pulp by-product after the hemp fibre is removed from the plant ). Hemp hurds are 77% cellulose - a primary chemical feed stock ( industrial raw material ) used in the production of chemicals, plastics, and fibres.

Hemp has been used throughout history for carpet backing. Hemp fibre has potential in the manufacture of strong, rot resistant carpeting - eliminating the poisonous fumes of burning synthetic materials in a house or commercial fire, along with allergic reactions associated with new synthetic carpeting.

Plastic plumbing pipe ( PVC pipes ) can be manufactured using renewable hemp cellulose as the chemical feed stocks, replacing non-renewable coal or petroleum based chemical feed stocks.

In 1941 Henry Ford built a plastic car made of fibre from hemp and wheat straw. Hemp plastic is biodegradable, synthetic plastic is not.

So I have two questions: 1 ) Why is the government not promoting this amazing product, which is already legal in Canada, and 2 ) Why is the media at large not informing the public about this product?

Legalizing hemp would cut into sweat-shop profits because it'd be an American product. Corporate America won't let that happen.
