There are any number of issues in the US that need to be cured.

• Runaway Government deficits  
• Health care spending  
• Energy independence  
• Climate change  
• Job growth  
• Growing prison populations  
• Growing marginalizing of population segments  

To name just a few.

 But there is one issue, if solved, that would quickly remedy and have a massive beneficial impact on all of the above.

For all of us.

The Re-Legalization of Cannabis Hemp

The first law regarding cannabis...Jamestown, VA 1609.  It was illegal not to grow hemp.

There are estimates of up to 25,000 known uses of hemp.

The majority of the public has been educated to object to just one use. 

The vast majority, including recreational users, have no idea that the other 24,999 uses exist.

What if they knew about the other 24,999?

Will a democracy support 24,999 to 1?

Pick one problem, just one issue that you want to be a priority from the list above.

Now think of all the reasons why that problem can't be solved.

Then ask yourself this question.

What would your world be like if Cannabis hemp were legal?

According to a recent (March 2009) CBS News survey, 58% of Americans say marijuana should be illegal.

That's down from previous polls and the trend over the past few decades has been toward support for  legalizing marijuana. But it's still a solid majority.

However, in a February 2008 poll conducted by Zogby International, 78% of those polled in North Dakota supported legalizing hemp farming in that state.

That tells me that people don't realize that hemp is marijuana. Or, more accurately, that marijuana comes from hemp.

And that's bad.

Not because people don't know that marijuana comes from hemp.

But because people aren't aware of all the other beneficial products besides marijuana that can be derived from hemp.

Including the medicinal value of cannabinols including THC, the stuff that makes you feel good.

If you don't know about just a few of the benefits available from hemp, here's a list of places to start learning.

• Hemp has more potential for bio fuel than any other crop  
• Cannabis has the ability to cure cancer  
• Hemp consumes more CO₂ than most crops  
• Hemp can allow us to harvest fewer trees  

Marijuana is still considered by many to be a dangerous drug, according to an August 2009 poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports. And that's also a problem.

We've been taught that there are dangers associated with smoking hemp, of marijuana.

Starting with William Randolph Hearst and Harry Anslinger, going up through Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, the indoctrination has continued.

Brainwashing may be the best term for what has happened. Even the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (The Shafer Commission) in 1972 knew that marijuana is about as harmless a drug as you can get. And that includes such 'drugs' as tobacco and caffeine.

Cannabis can't kill you, it's not a 'gateway' to other substances, it doesn't create psychosis, it's not addictive.

But you know all that already. If not, look around on this website and others to confirm what I've said. You'll find that it's true.

So we have to overcome this mass indoctrination of our population in order to get them to agree to the utilization of cannabis for all these other things.

The public needs to learn that the same plant that gives us the evil marijuana also gives us a way to make a huge dent into solving the problems listed above.

And to do it without insisting that all hemp be somehow limited in its THC content. THC as well as cannabidiol (CBD) is extremely valuable in medical cannibis.

And yes, people will use some of this cannabis as a non-medicinal drug. Just as they use alcohol now.

So how do we do this? What model do we need to use in order to get hemp into use as a mainstream crop in America?

How do we get a total prohibition repealed and changed to a free market commodity to be exploited by all available means?
