 HEMP
I don’t smoke and stuff like dope doesn’t interest me too much in that regard. I don’t mind others doing it. In fact I don’t really understand why it’s still illegal.
More people die from lung cancer caused from normal cigarettes.
More people die form alcohol induced car accidents and fights.
I mean think about it. Alcohol makes you prone to violence. Smoking dope has the opposite affect. It’s a fucking joke.
And dope is only illegal for all the wrong reasons. Cannabis, marijuana, hemp: doesn’t matter what you call it. It should be freely available. Before its prohibition hemp was used for medicinal benefits. You got a migraine? Take some hemp. It was hardly smoked, but it was pretty good medicine. And that's one thing drugs are: misunderstood.
Many people dont know (or dont care to know) that it was used as a source of linen and cloth. Add to that ship sails and even flags. Jeans and rope too. A super plant, who’s crowning glory would have been the non-polluting production of hemp-fibre paper.
This is exactly what is so very very insane. Like I said, I don’t smoke it but its potential is amazing.
Once upon a time cannabis hemp (every ONE acre) saved FOUR AND A HALF acres of trees. I actually researched deep to discover this. Sorry, but have Greenpeace and Company got their heads up each other’s arse? THE most important ecological proof of its mother earth loving touch, and its totally ignored. Hemp paper is:
Better quality, therefore why not use it?
It’s negative points? (Insert sarcasm, heavily) No more deforestation by the use of wood pulping and acid rain making the planet by miles more healthier.
Looks like no negative points then.
Once upon a time around 90% of all paper on the whole planet was hemp manufactured. That’s practically all the paper in the world.
Can you imagine the amount of trees that could sleep peacefully at night?
Now I’m not really one of those environmentalists, but for fucks sake, doesn’t it make extreme practical sense? Would this not serve more of an argument for people who smoke the stuff today, to want it made legal? The environmental argument as oppose to the medicinal argument.
Enter George Bush. A weedy looking cretin of a man who has a lot to answer for.
Where were you the day JFK got shot Mr. Bush? “I don’t remember”
Oh really.
Bit of a forgettable fuck aren't you in your old age, cunt.
For the benefit of Mr. Forgettable and everyone else, he was in Dallas, Texas. Ex-CIA boss and former President of the U.S.A. and totally untrustworthy for a number of reasons (one of his closest friend was the father of John Hinckley Jr. – the bloke who shot Reagan. Bush was vice-president at the time).
The amount of bullshit stacked up in this bloke is unquestionable.
(And while I’m having a go at good old George I should mention the Spanish auditors who investigated the financial records of Kuwait’s ruling family. They ‘accidentally’ discovered around $300 Million paid in bribes for support in Operation Desert Storm. Wonder how much the American Government got. Ask Bush. He was president at the time and has a major part to play in the conspiracy).
But not a big a part as a Mr. William Randolph Hearst:
The famous media tycoon. Add to that an art collector, museum builder and an industrialist. In the mid-nineteen thirties he stood to lose millions to hemp. Going back to the civil war, hemp production was displaced by the cheaper wood pulp sulfide process. That’s fair enough. They went for the cheaper production methods. But in the mid-thirties along came the Decorticator, a new invention that looked set to make hemp paper cheaper than wood pulp. This would mean the wood pulp sulfide process being displaced for hemp production.
Behold Americas First Billion-Dollar Crop.
How could anyone complain? Cheap to process. Not anywhere near as toxic. The American people couldn’t complain. Their precious Declaration of Independence was written on Hemp paper. Mr. Hearst differed. Enter Greed.
Hearst owned vast holdings in pulp timber and paper mills. Mr. mega-rich was set to lose enough money to totally screw him left, right and centre to the brink of financial ruin.
So begins a classic example of media and government manipulation proving that all it takes is something in print to make people believe in false truth. Hearst couldn’t stop the Decorticator, so he decided to stop Hemp.
I can’t think of a more brutal assault of propaganda severed out for the benefit of one mans fear of losing a fortune. So what did he do to start the ball rolling?
He invested money in journalism.
Hearst-owned newspapers printed articles and stories about how marijuana turned people into raving madmen going on the rampage.
Yet articles which concluded that marijuana was not harmful and was actually beneficial were not published. The Hearst articles were bullshit. Made up fairy tales of alleged blood-lust. Sounds crazy how people believed them. But they did. The public fell for it. Hearst never covered the truth. Medical and Government reports and studies that suggested otherwise, totally ignored.
So once again, the people believe. But Hearst would only win if the government is also swayed round to his way of thinking. I suppose in the thirties (no television) it was easier to manipulate. It must have been, if the medial reports were totally ignored. I mean since when did smoking marijuana turn you into a lunatic? So next stop Congress.
Hearst wasn’t the only person set to lose out big time. Dupoint (they had the patent for a sulfuric acid wood-pulping process) were set to be fucked by hemp’s potential. They had just developed the synthetic fibres: Rayon and Nylon, their nemesis being natural hemp cloth and rope. Time for more propaganda.
First for some background info:
Andrew Mellon. Chairman of the Mellon Bank. U.S. Treasury Secretary.
Mellon Bank. The main source of finance for Dupoint.
Harry Anslinger. Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics.
Connection Number One: Mellon appointed Anslinger commissioner.
Connection Number Two: Mellon’s niece was married to Anslinger.
Very cosy.
So Mr Harry ‘Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics' and married to the niece of Andrew Mellon who was set to lose out if Hemp wasn’t stopped causing the collapse of Dupoint’ Anslinger had a big say when presenting evidence to Congress. An honest man would speak of the medical reports stating that marijuana was harmful. Instead he read out Hearst newspaper articles stating (for example) that marijuana is:
The most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind. (His words)
In 1937, Hearst and Co had won. The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 was passed.
That was that. It was outlawed.
Wood Pulp 1 Hemp 0.
As the propaganda continued even after the law passed, the Laguardia Marijuana Report refuted the claims of violence.
So Mr Anslinger changed his point. This time he claimed that marijuana:
"…causes its users to become so peaceful and pacifistic that in the future American boys will not want to fight in any wars".
What happened to the ‘most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind’? All Hearst’s propaganda was focused on how marijuana made men into savage animals.
Anslinger agreed and told Congress the same thing. Then he changes he mind and agrees that it has the opposite affect. Can this man be trusted? No. Do the American public (and for that matter the Government) do something about it? No.
The thirties are long gone along with Hearst. But today the same old story is present. How much money is spent on the prosecution of growers and users? How many millions? Ask the taxpayers.
How many cannabis users possess this information? Not too many.
A mate of man loves a good 'smoke'. He goes on about how it should be made legal, because it’s ‘fucking brilliant’. I don’t think telling Congress or our beloved Parliament in the UK that it’s fucking brilliant will make them decide any differently. Maybe Hearst and Company are long gone but what of the modern day?
Paraquat: The U.S. Government has offered financial aid to countries to spray over their Hemp crops. Paraquat is a poison. In fact its so poisonous that it causes a much larger threat than marijuana ever could.
Eli Lilly: The Eli Lilly Company is a major drug manufacturer. One of their main aims is to synthesise the active ingredients in cannabis. If it were legalised they would lose a third of its patented monopoly. They have so far been unsuccessful. Enter my best friend:
George Bush. Add to list of jobs: Former director of the Presidents U.S. Drug Task Force and… oops, almost forgot director of Eli Lilly between 1977-1979. Cheeky motherfucker.
But he’s no longer involved with the company. No. He’s not. But his family is. They have a controlling interest in Eli Lilly. A coincidence I suppose that Mr. Bush (when President) declared a war on drugs, and cannabis in particular. Nice.
People will continue to use the old “Well if you smoke cannabis you’ll end up taking LSD and then coke, and before long heroin”.
I will continue to say that this argument is as useful as a five-day-old seamen stain to a fifty-year-old spinster trying to get pregnant.
Alcohol has more of a case against it self to be banned. But all you can do with alcohol is drink it.
You can’t make paper, rope, cloth or medicine out of it. Money (greed – it’s the same thing) plays a big part in today’s society. And so does George Bush.
With the Cannabis Conspiracy we have the perfect example of propaganda. How can so much evidence exist and still produce the end result of un-truth?
Things like JFK and Area 51 and the like do not affect people directly, but the use of cannabis is closer to home for most.
They either smoke it or they don’t. They either want it legalised or for it to remain illegal.
People who want it to remain illegal quote medical statistics (you’re suppose to lose a few brain cells when you smoke the stuff).
Yet they ignore the ‘statistic’ that eighty-percent of violent crimes are alcohol induced. People who want it legalised go on stupid marches, not giving a strong enough reason WHY it should be made legal.
This is insane.
It’s the proof that people IN power or WITH power have the POWER to do what ever they want.
