Comments on: So Where Did All The Ditchweed Go? http://blog.norml.org/2008/08/05/so-where-did-all-the-ditchweed-go/ Working to reform marijuana laws Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:01:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Robin Salmansohn http://blog.norml.org/2008/08/05/so-where-did-all-the-ditchweed-go/comment-page-1/#comment-75536 Robin Salmansohn Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:25:32 +0000 http://blog.norml.org/2008/08/05/so-where-did-all-the-ditchweed-go/#comment-75536 I used to live an a little town in IA. Going back years ago, during WWII, the U.S. gov't required farmers to grow hemp for the navy. Leftover hemp is weed, (I don't mean MJ as 'weed') and grows all over the place. I have seen hundreds of plants growing next to the track field. Sometimes people would gather it and walk home with shopping bags full of it, and smoke it. The problem is that dogs like to pee on plants. I used to live an a little town in IA. Going back years ago, during WWII, the U.S. gov’t required farmers to grow hemp for the navy.

Here's why: Paper pulp from wood: can only be recycled 4 times takes 5-500 years to grow. Paper pulp from hemp: Can be recycled 7 times takes 100 days to grow Oil concentrates from hemp: Can make a standard (diesel) VW engine get 80mpg with comparable acceleration rates, and a mere fraction of 1% of the emissions of the current gas-burning water cooled engines most commonly used today. So why is hemp illegal? #1) FEAR #2) GREED #3) CORRUPTION (maybe not in that order) But really, we cannot believe anyhting on this is even being considered toward complete leagalization and regulation until we eliminate the fear, greed, and corruption in our Imperialistic, Totolitarian, and Fascist government.

First of all to weedtokr – preach it brother! this is all a farce until we see “real change”

dimebag420 – you hit the nail on the head – GREED.
Here’s why:
Paper pulp from wood:
can only be recycled 4 times
takes 5-500 years to grow.
Paper pulp from hemp:
Can be recycled 7 times
takes 100 days to grow

Oil concentrates from hemp:
Can make a standard (diesel) VW engine get 80mpg with comparable acceleration rates, and a mere fraction of 1% of the emissions of the current gas-burning water cooled engines most commonly used today.

So why is hemp illegal?
#1) FEAR
#2) GREED
#3) CORRUPTION
(maybe not in that order)

But really, we cannot believe anyhting on this is even being considered toward complete leagalization and regulation until we eliminate the fear, greed, and corruption in our Imperialistic, Totolitarian, and Fascist government.

At least Obama is smart enough to tell the difference between spending billions on pulling weeds, arresting freedom loving americans, and spending billions on renewable energy, and helping americans have health insurance... At least I hope soo lolololol.... They would rather demolish an entire rainforest, or a beautiful pine forest for paper, just so the stubborn, brainwashed, corupted, gov't officials can say there right.... I don't know whats gona happen to america if another Conservative Republican becomes president, I"m scared to death tell you the truth...... If they can't tell the difference between a safe plant and black tar heroin, well then, we have more problems than I can even try to think of..... "God Bless the Real America," its been disappering quickly and like PALIN SAID "One day we'll be looking back and telling our grandkids about a free country called America that existed back in the days." I totally agree with you Palin, keep believing that bush is a great guy, keep believing that conservative republicans who wreck havoc on free america are doing the right thing.... You are gona have a lot of grandkids to tell your story too!!! America, “Land of the Free!?” LOLOLOLoLOLOLOL….

Not only could many jobs be created harvesting, tending, and making clothes out of hemp... Think of ALL the possibilities if it were legal. Coffee shops, paraphernalia, food with THC in it. With a federal debt over $3 trillion why isn't the government taking steps to pay it off. You could even tax the plant. For shame. This is an addition to Jon’s post.
