GOOD NEWS FOR POT SMOKERS!
Contrary to popular belief, marijuana helps grow
new brain cells, a study suggests. A separate study
reports pot smoke is less carcinogenic than
cigarette smoke.
 Did you know that heavy-duty speaker cones are now being made out of
Hemp? The mellow sounds coming out of your favorite musicians' amps
may be due to the heavy-duty Hemp-made cones. Carlos Santana and ZZ
Top are among the newly converted to the Hemp sound. Hemp apparently
better handles large volume changes more quickly and with less
distortion than paper based speaker cones. It also is more heat
resistant. One company currently utilizes this new technology:

Amazing, isn't it?
 When Henry Ford told a New York Times reporter that ethyl alcohol was "the fuel of the future" in 1925, he was expressing an opinion that was widely shared in the automotive industry. "The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," he said. "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There's enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for a hundred years."
Ford recognized the utility of the hemp plant. He constructed a car of resin stiffened hemp fiber, and even ran the car on ethanol made from hemp. Ford knew that hemp could produce vast economic resources if widely cultivated.

from John Shiflet-
It saddens me to realize that 40 years after Marijuana use became a hotly debated issue, the American public is still just as polarized over it as it was then. What little progress made on Marijuana and drug legal reform in general has been painfully slow and minute. Our government continues to take a scientifically unsupported view that Pot is the worst drug ever discovered by the human race. We've heard all of the anti-drug rhetoric and cliches a thousand times over. They can regulate alcohol and tobacco, yet pot is far too dangerous to even consider regulation. I blame it all on that damn idiot painter, Norman Rockwell.
Say what!? You see, in the rigidly-conforming, strictly black and white world of the conservative Republican mind, America should reflect the illusionary simplistic scenes portrayed by the late Norman Rockwell. Just as Adolph Hitler's crazy thoughts were inspired by composer Wagner's operatic legends about the noble German race, our Conservative Republicans dream about Norman Rockwell's America. The trouble is, these sappy, simplistic, mawkish images of blissful wholesome family living didn't reflect American life even when they were created and applying them to today's America is downright delusional. (oh, but I forgot that Rush Limbaugh was recently on drugs!)
Let's see what the ideal American life would be like in this Norman Rockwell, make-believe, conservative Republican world: Social issues would be very simple-women and minorities would know "their place" within this White, Anglo-Saxon, Male-dominated world and woe unto he or she that stepped outside of it. Everyone would be a Christian whether you liked it or not and church attendance, bible reading, and school prayers would be mandatory. Double standards would be the rule and you would instinctively know which standard applied to you. Behavior considered inappropriate would be dealt with swiftly and just about any infraction could earn you the death penalty or a long prison term. Drugs are something that only minorities and criminals abuse, so you'd better stick with getting shit-faced on alcohol. Criminals would no longer be called criminals; the new descriptive term would be liberals. More power to the robber-baron corporations because the working stiffs of America don't deserve any rights. The rich are rich because it's their divine birthright, just as is access to higher education. What a wonderful conservative Republican dream world!
Many of our so-called Republican political leaders share this Norman Rockwell-inspired nostalgic nightmare. I don't blame the American public for putting these people in power. Most Americans are genuinely concerned about our country and the welfare of the people who live in it. Many of them voted for these leaders because they told them exactly what the public wanted to hear. Besides, as long as one legislative branch was controlled by Democrats, everything that went wrong could always be blamed on them. Marijuana reform is but a tiny aspect of a wide-ranging array of festering societal issues growing worse almost by the day. While I applaud everyones' efforts to allow access to medical marijuana, until a more enlightened political climate returns to Washington, I see little opportunity for much real progress on a national level. Just my 2 cents worth...
Peace,
John

The following is an exerpt from the letter the Hippie Museum
received from Vivian
McPeak, which has been put up on the Hippie Museum. It's a really
ejoyable and informative read.
"My name is Vivian McPeak, and I am the executive director of the
Seattle Hempfest , attended by 170,000 people in 2003. I have been
involved in marijuana law reform for 20 years, and am a legal
medical marijuana patient in the state of Washington. The following
is my heart-song about the laws against our sacred sacrament, the
healing herb Cannabis..."

from jtwanless-
I have just written another song. It revolves around Marc Emery.
For those who might not be familiar with him, Marc is the courageous
and charismatic leader of Canada's marijuana reform movement which
emanates from Vancouver. He created what may be the greatest
application of an Internet site toward an evolving social movement.
Pot TV ( www.pot-tv.net ) is a collection of constantly updated
video programs which decry the absurd injustice of making a
relatively harmless herb the cause of more than 700,000 arrests
each year - in the United States alone.
The folks at Pot TV liked my song, "Mister Emery" and made a video
montage of images from some of Marc's speaking events to go along
with it. You can watch it here:

Also, the latest, studio version of "Mister Emery" (audio only) can
be heard at the Drug Truth Network:

In answer to some anti pot retoric,Roan Carratu Writes...
The 'Straight Facts About Marijuana' is that a bunch
of fascist fanatics will take marijuana smoking people
at gun point and lock them in metal boxes in an insane
culture of criminals for years of body and mind
destroying nastiness. This is the absolute worst thing
that can happen to anyone smoking Marijuana, far worse
than what you state is the negative effects of the
herb.
You can take anything, aspirin to water, and use
science to make it undesirable, even harmful. The
effects of the herb Marijuana are both slight and very
individual. Some people shouldn't do it, and most
others are better because of it. I have seen men who
were intent on killing each other smoke a joint
together and sit down and talk the problem out, and
end up friends rather than corpses. What do you think
they would have done if they had been drinking,
something that the fascists like? You certainly don't
say anything about that kind of effect, do you?
I know thousands of people who smoked Marijuana in
their youth and adulthood, many of which are Doctors
and Lawyers and all kinds of professionals now, most
of them as their second careers. There first careers
were taking care of people, healing the sick in 3rd
world countries, bringing technology and education to
the poorest of the poor. Grass gave them the
sensitivity to feel the compassion that led them to
their first careers. It broke through their fascist
education to bring heart into the world. They are
better people because of smoking that herb, and there
has been no health effects from those years of toking
at all, as far as any of them can find. You certainly
don't say anything about that kind of effect, do you?
Your propaganda, and your overseer's jailing of
Marijuana smokers both produce people who are forced
into bad company on the street and create a terrible
black market filled with profit oriented armed
gangsters who push other bad drugs on our children.
You are part of the problem, not the solution. You are
not doing the world a service by exploiting a harmless
drug. You are hand in hand with the gangsters who kill
for the profit from drugs and the fascists who lock
people up.
By the way, I don't smoke grass or do any drugs,
including alcohol. But if it was not for the mood
altering effects of Marijuana in my youth, I would
have become a stone cold killer or killed myself in
bad conscience. Mind altering Marijuana took me from a
path of government sanctioned cold hearted killer to a
full human experience.

Peace and Good Health,

from Sagetea - For years lamp oil was made from hemp seeds. hemp is a perfect plant
for that application and the corporations knew it.(especially DUPONT).
You can get a lot of oil rich seeds from one single hemp plant. Also
you can make breakfast cereal or really great soap or cooking oil or
paper or even building materials. And the corporations know this. In
fact corporations now run the prison system. Which means lets use
marijuana smokers as raw materials for our prisons. while denying the
people hemp as a raw material for products. Why does the corporations
hate hemp so much? Because it is so useful and the natural products
derived from it would be the consumers choice. For instance a shampoo
derived from hemp leaves hair in such nice shape that conditioner is
not needed, that would cut into proctor and gambell's market share.
If recreational Herb was available to the people, their would be a
whole lot less alcohol abuse going on. That would effect all the
industry that surrounds alcohole abuse such as law firms, mental health
centers, the liquor and brewing companies, and a whole host of other
entities..... Sagetea
