She is turning 13 years old. We already have a sno cone machine, a cotton candy machine, and a chocolite fountain. We are going to have christmas trees, snow flakes everywhere, and a snowman backround in the party room. She doesn%26#039;t want to have any activities there, she just wants to let them have fun, talk, and dance!! Have any ideas on what to do for food and decorations??
I am planning a birthday party for my friend, and she wants the theme to be a winter carnival?
That%26#039;s really an awesome party idea...I never would%26#039;ve thought of it. I have ideas for food items.
Take some squash (any kind) and make slices (size of potato wedges or french fries), dip in flour, then egg, then seasoned flour. Fry in oil until browned on both sides and tender inside. (if kids don%26#039;t like squash, use potatoes instead)
Serve a nice warm soup in a pumpkin (inards scooped out as in for carving) that you have baked, coated in butter and salt, for 45 min - 1 hr. A good harty stew or chowder would be excellent. You can ladle the soup out and into individual bread bowls, or hollowed out acorn squashes.
Or maybe chili bowls....
make your chili. Make cheesy biscuit dough (they sell in pre-mixed packets)and spread over bottom side of muffin tins to make mini bowls. Bake them and serve chili inside these biscuit bowls and sprinkle cheese on top.
As for decorations, you pretty much have it covered, but I would suggest laying blankets on ground here and there for sitting to eat picnic-style. Or maybe some park benches or picnic tables.
You have a great time and Happy b-day to the 13 yr old...
Reply:Wow, sounds like you%26#039;ve done so well on your own there, thats sounds like such a fun party idea, and what you%26#039;ve come up with so far. Best of Luck.....
Reply:Wonderful ideas already. You could add a fog machine and Christmas lights would look nice on the ceiling or running down the middle of a table. Use snowflake confetti and jingle bells. Use lots of silvers and blues in the room.
Here are some great ideas from kidspartyfun:
Food-
soup, stew or chili
gingerbread cookies
snowball cupcakes (vanilla icing covered with shredded coconut(coconut tastes much better if toasted first))
hot chocolate
(apple cider)
Dec-
white styrofoam balls (you could make your own with crumpled newspaper wrapped in tape and spray painted white)
white, blue, and silver streamers
Reply:All foods cold: cold cuts, macaroni salad, potato salad, finger foods, tiny cubed sandwiches, cold soda, celery, carrot sticks with dip. Decorations: Ice carved statue, streamers, balloons.
Reply:let me think get fake ice and go ice skating
Duh
Reply:It sounds like you already have a lot of decorations!
If you%26#039;d want more, try finding table cloths with snowflakes on them, hang snowflake decorations from the ceiling, %26amp; hang dark %26amp; light blue crepe paper decoratively around the room, stuff like that! You don%26#039;t want the place to look TOO overbearing tho...
Reply:well u might not know how to make it but i think that u should make a winter roast and decorations winter crap

The Marijuana Conspiracy
THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL
by Doug Yurchey
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
The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body.
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. 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 %26#039;marijuana%26#039; 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, 90f all ships%26#039; sails and rope were made from hemp. The word %26#039;canvas%26#039; is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary.
* 80f 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, %26#039;grown from the soil,%26#039; had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
* Hemp called %26#039;Billion Dollar Crop.%26#039; 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 %26#039;The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.%26#039; 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 %26#039;patriotic American farmers%26#039; to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:
%26#039;...(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!%26#039;
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 %26#039;Hemp for Victory%26#039; 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:
%26#039;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.%26#039;
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 80f 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: %26#039;marihuana%26#039; and pushed it into the consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of %26#039;yellow journalism%26#039; 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 %26#039;Reefer Madness%26#039; (1936), %26#039;Marihuana: Assassin of Youth%26#039; (1935) and %26#039;Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed%26#039; (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 %26#039;The Burning Question%26#039; 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 %26#039;the end.%26#039; 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 80f 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. %26#039;Medical Marijuana%26#039; 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 50emp. 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 %26#039;marijuana.%26#039; 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.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones 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 sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from %26#039;horny females.%26#039;
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!
Do you think marijuana should be legal ? read the history before you ansewer plz, i know its long but its goo?
Yes it should be legalised. That is my personal opinion. I enjoy cannabis daily and have done for 15 years. There are many arguaments for and against but ultimately i don%26#039;t think the fact that it is illegal has much effect on most people. Some say it is a gateway drug and leads on to harder drugs, well if that is true the main reason is because alot of people have to go to a drug dealer to buy it, therefore coming in to contact with other drugs and being put in a position where they will be offered something else. Personally i think alcohol is a far more dangerous and damaging drug than cannabis. Alcohol puts enormous strain on the police and nhs services, costs the country untold amounts of money, before you even consider the price the families of alcoholics have to pay. Alcohol impairs judgement and in general makes people more aggressive and violent, Cannabis on the other hand has the opposite effect, making people more calm and relaxed. I too have seen Reefer Madness and cannot believe that people were supposed to believe that rubbish, it makes you wonder how many other lies people swallow under the banner of %26#039;information%26#039;. Anyone who has smoked cannabis or knows anyone that has will easily be able to see that this film is far from the truth, and is laughable. The trouble is most people do believe what they are told because they are too lazy to find out about things for themselves.
I think it is a crying shame that the world is denied all the positive things that could come from this plant because of money and control.
Reply:Oh my gracious goodness...so this is how far the brainwashing has gone.
Folks, it%26#039;s time we stopped messing around - smoking, ANY kind of smoking, is BAD for your health. Pot is no exception, and no better a substitution for tobacco than any drug. Report It
Reply:You%26#039;ve seen the pictures, heard the lectures in school (hopefully). Smoking kills, its smoke contains carcinogenic elements, it causes deterioration of mental facilities. Sure, you might not die from a pot overdose, but you can bet on your health taking a dive. Report It
Reply:Pot might have therapeutic, medicinal uses, but that alone doesn%26#039;t sanction its legalization. Medicine is good...under the right circumstances. Cancer patients aside, I sure as heck don%26#039;t see anybody begging for radiation treatments. Why pot then? Report It
Reply:Simple. %26#039;Cause we ENJOY it. Alcohol and tobacco have progressed as a commercial industry beyond the point of recall. Report It
Reply:If it weren%26#039;t for the impossibility of a total prohibition on both in the near future, not to mention the profits turned by such companies, you can bet that both would be made illegal in a second. That%26#039;s why pointing the two are invalid comparisons with pot. Report It
Reply:Every year, perhaps billions of dollars are being thrown away to keep smokers and sufferers of secondhand smoke in hospitals. OTHER PEOPLE SHOULDN%26#039;T HAVE TO PAY FOR YOUR DECISIONS. Report It
Reply:Don%26#039;t smoke pot; heck, don%26#039;t smoke anything. What%26#039;s wrong with a drug-free life, anyway? Nothing.
Einstein didn%26#039;t smoke pot, y%26#039;know. Neither did Leonardo da Vinci, William Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Thomas Hardy, and a score of other equally talented writers or artists. Report It
Reply:I think that takes care of your creativity problem. Report It
Reply:By the way, the long, long %26quot;history of marijuana%26quot; by the asker? Have you noticed that its best points as an argument defends HEMP, not pot as a drug? Believe me; I%26#039;ve got no problem with hemp. Just pot. MARIJUANA. Report It
Reply:I do not believe that the medical community should be using marijuana to treat patients legally. Report It
Reply:it should only be legalized to manufacturers to create products or so forth. But legalizing it to people in general, NO! plus why smoke? smoking is still bad for you. And yes marijuana does have some bad site effects as well, just cant be talking about the positives only. Report It
Reply:It shouldn%26#039;t be legalized, but, instead, decriminalized. Possession should only be a $50 ticket, but getting caught selling should still be harshly penalized. That%26#039;s what they do in the Netherlands. Report It
Reply:The verse from Ezekiel the word %26quot;hunger%26quot; could be taken literally or it could mean spiritually. A spiritual hunger. I never heard of anyone beating their wife and kids because they were smoked up.
I never heard of anybody dieing from marijuana related illnesses. I never heard of anyone that od-ed from pot. The only reason it%26#039;s not legal is because the government hasn%26#039;t figured out a good way to keep people from growing their own and you could be right. The government wouldn%26#039;t frown on tax-free money too.
Reply:Yes, legalize. But no to writting books about it.
Reply:Pot should only be legal if it%26#039;s only perscribed from you doctor when needed.
Reply:only in pill form to relieve pain
Reply:Yes it should be legal,as soon as these old dinosaur politicians die off, it will be.
Reply:yes!!!!!
I believe it should be legal, for the many medical reasons it can help, and personal use, just as anyone who chooses to drink can go to a bar and get sloppy. Thank YOU for your extended amount of detailed history on all its great accomplishments.

Looks like you toked up before you tried to type something coherent with proper spelling, capitalization, and sentence structure. You tried...but, it didn%26#039;t work because you were probably under the influence.
No, marijuana should not be legal because your question is probably the best argument to keep it illegal.

Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!%26#039;
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 %26#039;Hemp for Victory%26#039; 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:
%26#039;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.%26#039;
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 80f 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: %26#039;marihuana%26#039; and pushed it into the consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of %26#039;yellow journalism%26#039; 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 %26#039;Reefer Madness%26#039; (1936), %26#039;Marihuana: Assassin of Youth%26#039; (1935) and %26#039;Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed%26#039; (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 %26#039;The Burning Question%26#039; 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 %26#039;the end.%26#039; 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 80f 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. %26#039;Medical Marijuana%26#039; 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 50emp. 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 %26#039;marijuana.%26#039; 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.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones 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 sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from %26#039;horny females.%26#039;
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!
Do you think marijuana should be legal ? read the history before you ansewer plz, i know its long but its goo?
Yes it should be legalised. That is my personal opinion. I enjoy cannabis daily and have done for 15 years. There are many arguaments for and against but ultimately i don%26#039;t think the fact that it is illegal has much effect on most people. Some say it is a gateway drug and leads on to harder drugs, well if that is true the main reason is because alot of people have to go to a drug dealer to buy it, therefore coming in to contact with other drugs and being put in a position where they will be offered something else. Personally i think alcohol is a far more dangerous and damaging drug than cannabis. Alcohol puts enormous strain on the police and nhs services, costs the country untold amounts of money, before you even consider the price the families of alcoholics have to pay. Alcohol impairs judgement and in general makes people more aggressive and violent, Cannabis on the other hand has the opposite effect, making people more calm and relaxed. I too have seen Reefer Madness and cannot believe that people were supposed to believe that rubbish, it makes you wonder how many other lies people swallow under the banner of %26#039;information%26#039;. Anyone who has smoked cannabis or knows anyone that has will easily be able to see that this film is far from the truth, and is laughable. The trouble is most people do believe what they are told because they are too lazy to find out about things for themselves.
I think it is a crying shame that the world is denied all the positive things that could come from this plant because of money and control.
Reply:Oh my gracious goodness...so this is how far the brainwashing has gone.
Folks, it%26#039;s time we stopped messing around - smoking, ANY kind of smoking, is BAD for your health. Pot is no exception, and no better a substitution for tobacco than any drug. Report It
Reply:You%26#039;ve seen the pictures, heard the lectures in school (hopefully). Smoking kills, its smoke contains carcinogenic elements, it causes deterioration of mental facilities. Sure, you might not die from a pot overdose, but you can bet on your health taking a dive. Report It
Reply:Pot might have therapeutic, medicinal uses, but that alone doesn%26#039;t sanction its legalization. Medicine is good...under the right circumstances. Cancer patients aside, I sure as heck don%26#039;t see anybody begging for radiation treatments. Why pot then? Report It
Reply:Simple. %26#039;Cause we ENJOY it. Alcohol and tobacco have progressed as a commercial industry beyond the point of recall. Report It
Reply:If it weren%26#039;t for the impossibility of a total prohibition on both in the near future, not to mention the profits turned by such companies, you can bet that both would be made illegal in a second. That%26#039;s why pointing the two are invalid comparisons with pot. Report It

Reply:I do not believe that the medical community should be using marijuana to treat patients legally. Report It
Reply:it should only be legalized to manufacturers to create products or so forth. But legalizing it to people in general, NO! plus why smoke? smoking is still bad for you. And yes marijuana does have some bad site effects as well, just cant be talking about the positives only. Report It
Reply:It shouldn%26#039;t be legalized, but, instead, decriminalized. Possession should only be a $50 ticket, but getting caught selling should still be harshly penalized. That%26#039;s what they do in the Netherlands. Report It
Reply:The verse from Ezekiel the word %26quot;hunger%26quot; could be taken literally or it could mean spiritually. A spiritual hunger. I never heard of anyone beating their wife and kids because they were smoked up.
I never heard of anybody dieing from marijuana related illnesses. I never heard of anyone that od-ed from pot. The only reason it%26#039;s not legal is because the government hasn%26#039;t figured out a good way to keep people from growing their own and you could be right. The government wouldn%26#039;t frown on tax-free money too.

The Marijuana Conspiracy
THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL
by Doug Yurchey
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
The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body.
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. 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 %26#039;marijuana%26#039; 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, 90f all ships%26#039; sails and rope were made from hemp. The word %26#039;canvas%26#039; is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary.
* 80f 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, %26#039;grown from the soil,%26#039; had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
* Hemp called %26#039;Billion Dollar Crop.%26#039; 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 %26#039;The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.%26#039; 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 %26#039;patriotic American farmers%26#039; to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:
%26#039;...(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!%26#039;
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 %26#039;Hemp for Victory%26#039; 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:
%26#039;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.%26#039;
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 80f Dupont’s business.

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.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones 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 sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from %26#039;horny females.%26#039;
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!
Why is yahoo removing this question ? the truth about hemp? The farther you question, the more they will hate?
%26quot;Weed is bad for you! Weed make people stupidmorons with no lifes. Pot smokers ae lazy bums, letting their firends tell them what to do and controll their lives. Kids are always peasured to smoke weed to be all “cool”, but it’s not.
All in all, stoners ae stupid, they can never do anythign in life but smoke weed all day!%26quot;
Stupidmorons? peasured? Don’t be calling people dumb without being able to spell correctly. SOME comments i read about a previous issue that kind fit this question right !!
I know lots of stoners who fit that bill perfectly, but, on the other hand, I know lots who have very active, productive lives. Don’t lump all in with some, it’s not fair. I smoke weed. I also work full time, run a business on the side, pay a mortgage and bills, play in a band, read extensively, exercise regularly and have an active social-life that doesn’t include smoking at all. I understand the legal and health-risks that I assume by smoking, so don’t try to tell me it’s “wrong” when you so obviously don’t know much about the topic. Walk a mile in my shoes, as they say, before you condemn my lifestyle.
“Legalities have nothing to do with what’s good and bad. It’s illegal to spit in public in some states. It’s illegal to express freedom of speech in schools if it contains any swear words. etc. Besides that, good and bad are subjective.%26quot;
Weed was first made illegal because cotton-farmers in the southern states were threatened by the versatility of hemp. As capitalists, they couldn’t reasonably lobby against the production of hemp simply because it threatened their comfortable lifestyle, after all, capitalism is all about “equal” opportunity; instead, they lobbied against marijuana (which was simple, because at the time, prohibition was in effect), once that was made illegal, they found it easy to stomp out the growth of hemp on the basis that it was of the same genus as pot. Who doesn’t love a good loop-hole?
“well weed is a long term damaging effect of course it’s bad thats why it’s illegal”
So do alcohol, tobacco, aspartame(sp?) and caffeine, but they’re not illegal.

The Marijuana Conspiracy
THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL
by Doug Yurchey
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
The real reason Cannabis has been outlawed has nothing to do with its effects on the mind and body.
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. 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 %26#039;marijuana%26#039; 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, 90f all ships%26#039; sails and rope were made from hemp. The word %26#039;canvas%26#039; is Dutch for cannabis; Webster’s New World Dictionary.
* 80f 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, %26#039;grown from the soil,%26#039; had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
* Hemp called %26#039;Billion Dollar Crop.%26#039; 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 %26#039;The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.%26#039; 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 %26#039;patriotic American farmers%26#039; to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:
%26#039;...(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!%26#039;
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 %26#039;Hemp for Victory%26#039; 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:
%26#039;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.%26#039;
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 80f 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: %26#039;marihuana%26#039; and pushed it into the consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of %26#039;yellow journalism%26#039; 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 %26#039;Reefer Madness%26#039; (1936), %26#039;Marihuana: Assassin of Youth%26#039; (1935) and %26#039;Marihuana: The Devil’s Weed%26#039; (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 %26#039;The Burning Question%26#039; 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 %26#039;the end.%26#039; 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 80f 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. %26#039;Medical Marijuana%26#039; 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 50emp. 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 %26#039;marijuana.%26#039; 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.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the truth is ones 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.

This is a bit stupid but can anyone remember these children's books and perhaps tell me the names of them?
I had a series of books which I think may have been written by a well known author but my mum thinks that she bought them for like £1 in Woolworths (which would mean that no one would be able to help me probably!).
I can remember two of the stories:
1) A boy goes in the woods and finds a little house. He goes in, finds a pair of red shoes and puts them on. But he puts them on his hands or something and the shoes make him walk for miles on his hands because they have a spell on them. It turns out that they were a dwarf’s and he tells the boy that he should never take anyone’s things.
2) A boy loses his kitten, he’s sad so he goes looking for it in the woods and he finds some fairies and tells them what’s happened. The fairies make all the cotton buds from a cotton plant come alive into furry little kittens and the boy finds his kitten.
My memory is a bit off but I’d appreciate it if you could tell me the name of the books or the author. Or just tell me if any of this rings a bell, at least I’ll know it wasn’t just me who read them lol.
There was another book that wasn’t part of the series but it was about a boy and a girl who would go out to play near the woods (it’s all about the woods lol) and they’d see a big white creature hiding behind the trees. They become friends with it or something – any ideas? The girl had a blue and white dress and blond hair.
This is a bit stupid but can anyone remember these children%26#039;s books and perhaps tell me the names of them?
This sounds like the Enid Blyton collection, %26#039;The Tower in HoHo Wood%26#039;. This rings a bell with me!
Reply:Suggest you put some of this information into a search box at the following link, after you read the list of books already there to see if any fit what you%26#039;re looking for:

If this site doesn%26#039;t suit you, suggest calling the reference librarian at a public library, in the children%26#039;s section, and ask there. Those people are trained, have search tools, and know their books.

Reply:Suggest you put some of this information into a search box at the following link, after you read the list of books already there to see if any fit what you%26#039;re looking for:
http://www.auntbook.com
If this site doesn%26#039;t suit you, suggest calling the reference librarian at a public library, in the children%26#039;s section, and ask there. Those people are trained, have search tools, and know their books.
Reply:Try posting that question here. They get amazing results, sometimes very quickly.

Why have we NOT leagalized Hemp as a renewable and sustainable natural resource, to help offset Global Warming
Legitimate Hemp USES
FOSSIL FUEL ADDITIVE (Hemp vs. ethanol)
Hemp makes the burning of gasoline much cleaner. Hemp is a renewable and sustainable product.
BIO-FUEL/FOSSIL-FUEL ALTERNATIVE (Hemp vs. Fossil Fuel)
Hemp can be converted to a clean burning easily renewable fuel source for cars, factories and home.
FINE LINNEN (Hemp vs. Cotton)
1 Acre of hemp yeilds equal to 3 acres of cotton and converts 3 X as much Co2 into Oxygen, scrubbing the environment. Refined Hemp cloth is cooler, lighter and more comfortable than cotton clothing. Polyester and rayon produce toxic chemicals during manufacture.
FOOD PROUDCTS (Hemp vs. Organics)
Hemp seeds can be used to make many different types of food because they are high in Carbohydrates and Protein.
BUILDING MATERIALS, PAPER, PULP (Hemp vs. Cutting Down Trees)
Hemp paper lasts longer and does not create toxic byproducts. Composite fiber building materials are lighter and stronger than wood and no trees are hurt in the process

ok first and foremost. iono who taught u ppl this but hemp cannot be smoked. even if u found some way of smoking the dam thing u CANT GET HIGH OFF IT in fact hemp contains cannabinoid which blocks off marijuanas %26quot;high%26quot; effects. its just these tree, cotton, and pharmaceutical dumbnuts who label hemp as a %26quot;drug%26quot; because they know the huge benefits of hemp (as listed by cyphercash) and if its in the market it will hurt their industry BADLY so they had the government place a ban on the crop and justify it by comparing it to marijuana then they can become multi billionaires. so basicly it wasnt their %26quot;concern%26quot; for the public, its just to simply make money, LOTS of it no matter the terrible environmental effects we face today in which im pretty sure they knew about long ago.
Reply:Someone said people ignore how hemp would be such a good renewable resource,and say even intelligent people. If people are ignoring facts and going off stigmas they are not intelligent people. Report It
Reply:I just watched the movie Hemp Revolution. According to them, it was a conspiracy with DuPont chemicals because they were introducing their plastic and vinyl products, and industrial production of hemp would have been too strong of a competition. William Hearst, the newspaper publisher, had interest in making money off of his timber, and hemp was also a strong competitor for paper. So Hearst started creating propaganda against Marijuana.
Then the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed, some believe to give the federal agents a job after Prohibition was lifted. Originally, marijuana was not outlawed, just heavily taxed, putting the competition out of business. The congressmen didn%26#039;t realize that hemp and marijuana were the same thing, so the story goes.
Hemp has been written out of history as one of the major cash crops of the U.S.
The reason it is still outlawed is just ignorance, plus the fear that being stoned will be the downfall of our society, although THC can be eliminated from industrial hemp.
Reply:For the same reasons we can not kick our oil habit. Money! There is too much money in other commodities and the distribution systems they have developed over time. Unfortunately Johny tree cutter is not going to start harvesting hemp and cotton growers are not going to start growing it. And heaven forbid someone might smoke it.
Reply:The only reason we don%26#039;t use hemp is because people abuse our ability by taking it and smoking it. If people stopped smoking, then we%26#039;d be able to use hemp.
Reply:I know that people can purchase products made from hemp but typically, those products are imported into the US from Canada as well as other countries. Current federal law as well as DEA guidelines would require 0.00 percent THC in the hemp. It can%26#039;t even have a quadrillionth of a percent of THC or they consider it as cannabis.
Reply:Because the right-wing religious nuts (including the one in the White Hous) KNOW ITS AN EVIL DRUG!
Reply:Because someone would smoke-up all the profits
Reply:Hemp IS legal, just not to smoke.
I buy many things made from hemp . . . from clothing to soap to food. Unfortunately, there are so many stigmas placed on the hemp plant that it is often ignored, even by the most (seemingly) intelligent of people.
Then, you also have to take into consideration how people in today%26#039;s world have turned away from plants to help them. They seem to believe that artificial is the way to go. I find that variousu plants work much better at healing and maintaining health than any medication, yet these things are looked down upon because %26quot;looking to plants for aid is primative%26quot;.
Personally, I think most of the world is just too stuck up to realize that there are better ways to live.

Do you know?
I live out in the country, and a friend and I were fishing, he heard a bird call, we both knew it was a quail. Then he said did you know that that call is because the birds are trying to find each other because they got separated, and I knew that that%26#039;s why but then we got talking more. He said he knew some people that didn%26#039;t know where milk came from and I also saw a commercial for the LA county fair or something and it started out with some girls in a store. They were talking about what the clothes were made of, one was like oh it%26#039;s cotton, and they were like, oh is that from a cow. It was a rediculous commercial, but are there actually people out there who don%26#039;t know where milk comes from, and who don%26#039;t know what cotton is from, or that pineapples don%26#039;t grow on trees?
Do you know?
You are so right.
Some young people today do not know where milk comes from......
This subject was on talkback radio in Australia yesterday.
l was truly amazed at how little school kids know today.....
lt is somewhat mind boggling.

Clouds shooting upwards?
When flying, I notice clouds shoot upwards and look like upside down trees in single spots instead of being cotton ball oval-like. Why is this?
Clouds shooting upwards?
Those are man-made clouds, probably from some siginificant source of evaporating water, like putting out a fire. You see that a lot in a forest fire.
Reply:Also, sometimes when clouds are rapidly forming, such as during a powerful storm, moving air can push clouds upwards as the air rises. Its the same thing that can occur during a tornado, when cold air rushes to the ground, and warm air rushes up to take its place - it takes the clouds with it...
Reply:You are witnessing convection in an unstable atmosphere when you see that. Warm moist air from lower levels is rising into very cold air, and shoots upward until it reaches ambient air that is no longer colder than that %26quot;parcel%26quot; of air that is rising (i.e., the level where equilibrium occurs). The key is the moisture, because as condensation occurs, latent heat is released, further %26quot;fueling%26quot; the instability. If many factors are JUST right, one or more of those towering cumulus (cumuli?) can become a mature, tornadic supercell.
Dan, tornadoes have little to do with cold air downdrafts (other than at the rear flank of a supercell...which can enhance the vorticity...but that%26#039;s way too complicated to get into here...). Tornadoes occur mostly because of the vaccuum created at a storm%26#039;s base from the updraft within the storm%26#039;s mesocyclone. The updraft is the result of warm air rising through cold. The air at upper levels has no %26quot;need%26quot; to be %26quot;replaced%26quot;, though I notice many people seem to have that misunderstanding.
Reply:the clouds that a puffy on top like that, (look like popcorn with a flat bottom) are caused by convection. whaen the air rises into the clouds (updrafts) it gives the clouds energy causing it to get larger. making them look puffy. If the cloud gets large enough the top of the cloud can actually get flat by hitting extremely high winds in the next atmosphere.
The order usualy goes, cumulus clouds, single clouds. cumulocongestous (larger more %26quot;congested%26quot; cumulus clouds)
then cumulonimbus clouds which are the thunderstorms. that is how a single cloud can develop into a thunderstorm, if there is enough convection.

all of these formations are due to convection though. warm rir rises, cooler air sinks
