Introduction
Taken from the Hempola Trivia Trail
Did you know, it is estimated that hemp has approximately 25,000 uses?
From food, paint and fuel to clothing and construction materials, hemp is
used. There are even hemp fibres in your Red Rose® and Lipton® tea bags.
And several cars made today contain hemp.
The oldest relic of human industry is a piece of hemp fabric (canvas)
found in ancient Mesopotamia dating back to approximately 8000 B.C. The
oldest surviving piece of paper was made over 2000 years ago in China and
was also made from hemp fibre. In 2500 B.C. the pharaohs used hemp in the
construction of the great pyramids.
Hemp was so important in England in the 16th century that King Henry
VIII passed a law in 1553 which fined farmers who failed to grow at least
one quarter acre of hemp for every 60 acres of arable land they owned.
There was even a time in history for over 200 years when you could pay
your taxes in America with hemp. In 1850 there were more than 8,300 hemp
farms in the United States.
Every 3.6 seconds someone in the world dies of hunger. Hemp seeds
are the most nutritious and economical solution to end world hunger. With
an 80 percent concentration of "good fats" our bodies need for good health
maintenance and protein with all eight amino acids plus optimum dietary
fibre, hemp truly is a "perfect balance" food source.

The first diesel engine was designed to run on vegetable oils, one of
which was hemp oil. In the 1930s Henry Ford produced an automobile
composed of 70 percent hemp plastic which also ran on hemp based fuel and
oil. In 2001 the "Hempcar" circled the North American continent powered by
hemp oil.
The paintings of Rembrandt (1606- 1669), Vincent Van Gogh (1853-1890)
and Thomas Gainsborough (1727- 1788) were painted primarily on hemp
canvas, often with hemp oil based paint. Over 50 percent of all chemical
pesticides sprayed are used in the cultivation of cotton. Hemp is eight
times stronger than cotton and more air-permeable. Hemp can grow
vigorously (up to 16 feet) in 100 days without the use of harmful
pesticides and herbicides... healthier for your skin and the environment.
One acre of hemp can produce as much raw fibre as 4.1 acres of trees.
Pulping hemp for paper would produce a strong paper that lasts incredibly
long and doesn't yellow with age. Also, using hemp as a raw source for
paper would eliminate the need to cut down our dwindling old-growth
forests which contribute to climate control and clean the air we breathe.

The Marijuana Conspiracy
THE REAL REASON HEMP IS ILLEGAL

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 'marijuana' come from? In the mid 1930s, the M-word was
created to tarnish the good image and phenomenal history of the hemp plant...as
you will read. The facts cited here, with references, are generally verifiable
in the Encyclopedia Britannica which was printed on hemp paper for 150 years:
* 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, 90% of all ships' sails and rope were made from
hemp. The word 'canvas' is Dutch for cannabis; Webster's New World Dictionary.
* 80% of all textiles, fabrics, clothes, linen, drapes, bed sheets, etc. were
made from hemp until the 1820s with the introduction of the cotton gin.
* 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, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels
whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel; Popular Mechanics, 1941.
* Hemp called 'Billion Dollar Crop.' It was the first time a cash crop had a
business potential to exceed a billion dollars; Popular Mechanics, Feb., 1938.
* Mechanical Engineering Magazine (Feb. 1938) published an article entitled
'The Most Profitable and Desirable Crop that Can be Grown.' It stated that if
hemp was cultivated using 20th Century technology, it would be the single
largest agricultural crop in the U.S. and the rest of the world.
The following information comes directly from the United States Department of
Agriculture's 1942 14-minute film encouraging and instructing 'patriotic
American farmers' to grow 350,000 acres of hemp each year for the war effort:
'...(When) Grecian temples were new, hemp was already old in the
service of mankind. For thousands of years, even then, this plant had been grown
for cordage and cloth in China and elsewhere in the East. For centuries prior to
about 1850, all the ships that sailed the western seas were rigged with hempen
rope and sails. For the sailor, no less than the hangman, hemp was
indispensable...
...Now with Philippine and East Indian sources of hemp in the
hands of the Japanese...American hemp must meet the needs of our Army and Navy
as well as of our industries...
...the Navy's rapidly dwindling reserves. When that is gone,
American hemp will go on duty again; hemp for mooring ships; hemp for tow lines;
hemp for tackle and gear; hemp for countless naval uses both on ship and shore.
Just as in the days when Old Ironsides sailed the seas victorious with her
hempen shrouds and hempen sails. Hemp for victory!'
Certified proof from the Library of Congress; found by the research of Jack
Herer, refuting claims of other government agencies that the 1942 USDA film
'Hemp for Victory' did not exist.
Hemp cultivation and production do not harm the environment. The USDA
Bulletin #404 concluded that hemp produces 4 times as much pulp with at least 4
to 7 times less pollution. From Popular Mechanics, Feb. 1938:
'It has a short growing season...It can be grown in any
state...The long roots penetrate and break the soil to leave it in perfect
condition for the next year's crop. The dense shock of leaves, 8 to 12 feet
above the ground, chokes out weeds.
...hemp, this new crop can add immeasurably to American agriculture and
industry.'
In the 1930s, innovations in farm machinery would have caused an industrial
revolution when applied to hemp. This single resource could have created
millions of new jobs generating thousands of quality products. Hemp, if not made
illegal, would have brought America out of the Great Depression.
William Randolph Hearst (Citizen Kane) and the Hearst Paper Manufacturing
Division of Kimberly Clark owned vast acreage of timberlands. The Hearst Company
supplied most paper products. Patty Hearst's grandfather, a destroyer of nature
for his own personal profit, stood to lose billions because of hemp.
In 1937, Dupont patented the processes to make plastics from oil and coal.
Dupont's Annual Report urged stockholders to invest in its new petrochemical
division. Synthetics such as plastics, cellophane, celluloid, methanol, nylon,
rayon, Dacron, etc., could now be made from oil. Natural hemp industrialization
would have ruined over 80% of Dupont's business.
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:
'marihuana' and pushed it into the consciousness of America.
MEDIA MANIPULATION
A media blitz of 'yellow journalism' raged in the late 1920s and 1930s.
Hearst's newspapers ran stories emphasizing the horrors of marihuana. The menace
of marihuana made headlines. Readers learned that it was responsible for
everything from car accidents to loose morality.
Films like 'Reefer Madness' (1936), 'Marihuana: Assassin of Youth' (1935) and
'Marihuana: The Devil's Weed' (1936) were propaganda designed by these
industrialists to create an enemy. Their purpose was to gain public support so
that anti-marihuana laws could be passed.
Examine the following quotes from 'The Burning Question' aka REEFER MADNESS:
- a violent narcotic.
- acts of shocking violence.
- incurable insanity.
- soul-destroying effects.
- under the influence of the drug he killed his entire family with an ax.
- more vicious, more deadly even than these soul-destroying drugs (heroin,
cocaine) is the menace of marihuana!
Reefer Madness did not end with the usual 'the end.' The film concluded with
these words plastered on the screen: TELL YOUR CHILDREN.
In the 1930s, people were very naive; even to the point of ignorance. The
masses were like sheep waiting to be led by the few in power. They did not
challenge authority. If the news was in print or on the radio, they believed it
had to be true. They told their children and their children grew up to be the
parents of the 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 80% of our oil and gas
reserves. We need a renewable resource. Hemp could be the solution to soaring
gas prices.
THE WONDER PLANT
Hemp has a higher quality fiber than wood fiber. Far fewer caustic chemicals
are required to make paper from hemp than from trees. Hemp paper does not turn
yellow and is very durable. The plant grows quickly to maturity in a season
where trees take a lifetime.

ALL PLASTIC PRODUCTS SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP SEED OIL. Hempen plastics are
biodegradable! Over time, they would break down and not harm the environment.
Oil-based plastics, the ones we are very familiar with, help ruin nature; they
do not break down and will do great harm in the future. The process to produce
the vast array of natural (hempen) plastics will not ruin the rivers as Dupont
and other petrochemical companies have done. Ecology does not fit in with the
plans of the Oil Industry and the political machine. Hemp products are safe and
natural.
MEDICINES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. We should go back to the days when the
AMA supported cannabis cures. 'Medical Marijuana' is given out legally to only a
handful of people while the rest of us are forced into a system that relies on
chemicals. Pot is only healthy for the human body.
WORLD HUNGER COULD END. A large variety of food products can be generated
from hemp. The seeds contain one of the highest sources of protein in nature.
ALSO: They have two essential fatty acids that clean your body of cholesterol.
These essential fatty acids are not found anywhere else in nature! Consuming pot
seeds is the best thing you could do for your body. Eat uncooked hemp seeds.
CLOTHES SHOULD BE MADE FROM HEMP. Hemp clothing is extremely strong and
durable over time. You could hand clothing, made from pot, down to your
grandchildren. Today, there are American companies that make hemp clothing;
usually 50% hemp. Hemp fabrics should be everywhere. Instead, they are almost
underground. Superior hemp products are not allowed to advertise on fascist
television. Kentucky, once the top hemp producing state, made it ILLEGAL TO WEAR
hemp clothing! Can you imagine being thrown into jail for wearing quality jeans?
The world is crazy...but that does not mean you have to join the insanity.
Get together. Spread the news. Tell people, and that includes your children, the
truth. Use hemp products. Eliminate the word 'marijuana.' Realize the history
that created it. Make it politically incorrect to say or print the M-word. Fight
against the propaganda (designed to favor the agenda of the super rich) and the
bullshit. Hemp must be utilized in the future. We need a clean energy source to
save our planet. INDUSTRIALIZE HEMP!
The liquor, tobacco and oil companies fund more than a million dollars a day
to Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other similar agencies. We have all
seen their commercials. Now, their motto is: ‘It's more dangerous than we
thought.’ Lies from the powerful corporations, that began with Hearst, are still
alive and well today.
The brainwashing continues. Now, the commercials say: If you buy a joint, you
contribute to murders and gang wars. The latest anti-pot commercials say: If you
buy a joint...you are promoting TERRORISM! The new enemy (terrorism) has paved
the road to brainwash you any way THEY see fit.
There is only one enemy; the friendly people you pay your taxes to; the
war-makers and nature destroyers. With your funding, they are killing the world
right in front of your eyes. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY
TOBACCO. HALF A MILLION DEATHS EACH YEAR ARE CAUSED BY ALCOHOL. NO ONE HAS EVER,
EVER DIED FROM SMOKING POT!! In the entire history of the human race, not one
death can be attributed to cannabis. Our society has outlawed grass but condones
the use of the KILLERS: TOBACCO and ALCOHOL. Hemp should be declassified and
placed in DRUG stores to relieve stress. Hardening and constriction of the
arteries are bad; but hemp usage actually enlarges the arteries...which is a
healthy condition. We have been so conditioned to think that: Smoking is
harmful. That is NOT the case for passive pot.
Ingesting THC, hemp's active agent, has a positive effect; relieving asthma
and glaucoma. A joint tends to alleviate the nausea caused by chemotherapy. You
are able to eat on hemp. This is a healthy state of being.
{One personal note: During the pregnancy of my wife, she was having some
difficulty gaining weight. We were in the hospital. A nurse called us to one
side and said: ‘Off the record, if you smoke pot...you'd get something called
the munchies and you’ll gain weight.' I swear that is a true story}.
The stereotype for a pothead is similar to a drunk, bubble-brain. Yet, the
truth is one’s creative abilities can be enhanced under its influence. The
perception of time slightly slows and one can become more sensitive. You can
more appreciate all arts; be closer to nature and generally FEEL more under the
influence of cannabis. It is, in fact, the exact opposite state of mind and body
as the drunken state. You can be more aware with pot.
The pot plant is an ALIEN plant. There is physical evidence that cannabis is
not like any other plant on this planet. One could conclude that it was brought
here for the benefit of humanity. Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear
one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of
males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show
their sexes; except for cannabis. To determine what sex a certain, normal,
Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass
(physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an
intense sexuallity. Growers know to kill the males before they fertilize the
females. Yes, folks...the most potent pot comes from 'horny females.'
The reason this amazing, very sophisticated, ET plant from the future is
illegal has nothing to do with how it physically affects us…..
…POT IS ILLEGAL BECAUSE BILLIONAIRES WANT TO REMAIN BILLIONAIRES!
ps: I think the word ‘DRUGS’ should not be used as an umbrella-word that
covers all chemical agents. Drugs have come to be known as something BAD. Are
you aware there are LEGAL drugstores?! Yep, in every city. Unbelievable. Each
so-called drug should be considered individually. Cannabis is a medicine and not
a drug. We should DARE to speak the TRUTH no matter what the law is.
