4) 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.)
Reefer Madness did not end with the usual ‘the end.’ The film concluded with these words plastered on the screen: ‘Tell your children.’
p.s.
I think the word ‘drugs’ should not be used as an umbrella-word that
covers all chemical agents. Drugs have come to be known as something
bad. Are you aware there are legal drugstores?! Yep, in every city.
Unbelievable. Each so-called drug should be considered individually.
Cannabis is a medicine and not a drug. We should dare to speak the truth
no matter what the law is.

They
say marijuana is dangerous. 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. 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! The super rich
have conspired to spread misinformation about the 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 :
1) All schoolbooks were made from hemp or flax paper until the 1880s. (Jack Frazier. Hemp Paper Reconsidered. 1974.)
2) It was legal to pay taxes with hemp in America from 1631 until the early 1800s. (LA Times. Aug. 12, 1981.)
3)
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 (G. M. Herdon. Hemp in Colonial Virginia).
4) 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.)
5)
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. (Jack Herer. Emperor Wears
No Clothes.)
6)
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.)
7)
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.
8)
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.)
9)
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.)
10)
Oldest known records of hemp farming go back 5000 years in China,
although hemp industrialization probably goes back to ancient Egypt.
11) Rembrandt’s, Van Gogh’s, Gainsborough’s, as well as most early canvas paintings, were principally painted on hemp linen.
12)
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. (U.S. Department of
Agriculture Archives.)
13)
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 the U.S.Congress
against the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act.)
14)
Henry Ford’s first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the
car itself was constructed 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.)
15)
In 1938, hemp was 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.)
16)
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, refutes 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 four times as much pulp with
at least four to seven times less pollution.
From Popular Mechanics, February 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.
THE CONSPIRACY
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.
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: ‘marijuana’ 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 marijuana.
The menace of marijuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was
responsible for everything from car accidents to loose morality.
Films like Reefer Madness (1936), Marijuana: Assassin of Youth
(1935) and Marijuana: 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-marijuana 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 marijuana!
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 babyboomers.
On
April 14, 1937, the prohibitive Marijuana 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 U.S. Senate, Ways and Means Committee, at the time,
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 Marijuana Tax Law sooner was that
the Association had just discovered that marijuana 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. Harry Anslinger, head of the Drug Commission for 31 years,
promoted the idea that marijuana made users act extremely violent. In
the 1950s, under the Communist threat of McCarthyism, Anslinger then
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.
THE WONDER PLANT
Hemp
has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals
are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does
not turn yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity
in a season where trees take a lifetime.
All
plastic products should be made from hemp seed oil. Hempen plastics are
biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the
environment. Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with,
help ruin nature. They do not break down and will do great harm in the
future. The process to produce the vast array of natural (hempen)
plastics will not ruin the rivers as DuPont and other petrochemical
companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the plans of the oil
industry and the political machine.Hemp products are safe and natural.
Medicines
should be made from hemp. We should go back to the days when the AMA
supported cannabis cures.‘Medical Marijuana’ is given out legally to
only a handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system
that relies on chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body.
World
hunger could end. A large variety of food products can be generated
from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in
nature. Also: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body
of cholesterol. These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else
in nature! Consuming pot seeds is the best thing you could do for your
body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.
Clothes
should be made from hemp. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and durable
over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your
grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp
clothing; usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead,
they are almost underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to
advertise on fascist television.
Kentucky,
once the top hemp producing state, made it illegal to wear hemp
clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality
jeans?
The
world is crazy. But that does not mean you have to join the insanity.
Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your
children, the truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word ’marijuana.’
Realize the history that created it. Make it politically incorrect to
say or print the M-word. Fight against the propaganda (designed to favor
the agenda of the super rich) and the bullshit. Hemp must be utilized
in the future. We need a clean energy source to save our planet.
Industrialize hemp!
The
liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a
day to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies.
We have all seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: ‘It’s more
dangerous than we thought.’ Lies from the powerful corporations, that
began with Hearst, are still alive and well today.
The
brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint,
you contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials
say: If you buy a joint… you are promoting terrorism! The new enemy
(terrorism) has paved the road to brainwash you any way they see fit.
There
is only one enemy: the friendly people you pay your taxes to, the
war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing
the world right in front of your eyes.
Half
a million deaths each year are caused by tobacco. Half a million deaths
each year are caused by alcohol. No one has ever, ever died from
smoking pot!!
In
the entire history of the human race, not one death can be attributed
to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones the use of the
killers: tobacco and alcohol.
Hemp
should be declassified and placed in drug stores to relieve stress.
Hardening and constriction of the arteries are bad, but hemp usage
actually enlarges the arteries, which is a healthy condition. We have
been so conditioned to think that smoking is harmful. That is not the
case for passive pot.
Ingesting
THC, hemp’s active agent, has a positive effect: relieving asthma and
glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy.
You are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being.
[one
personal note. During the pregnancy of my wife, she was having some
difficulty gaining weight. We were in the hospital. A nurse called us to
one side and said: “Off the record, if you smoke pot… you’d get
something called the munchies and you’ll gain weight.” I swear that is a
true story.]
The
stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the
truth is one’s creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence.
The perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive.
You can more appreciate all arts, be closer to nature and generally
feel more under the influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact
opposite state of mind and body as the drunken state. You can be more
aware with pot.
The
pot plant is an alien plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis
is not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it
was brought here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the only plant
where the males appear one way and the females appear very different,
physically!
No
one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom
because plants do not show their sexes. Except for cannabis. To
determine what sex a certain, normal, earthly plant is, you have to look
internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks
exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense
sexuality. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the
females. Yes, folks, the most potent pot comes from ‘horny females.’
The
reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is
illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us.
Pot is illegal because billionaires want to remain billionaires!
“And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land.” – Ezekiel 34:29.
