It's easier to get hooked on caffeine (from tea, coffee, and other pain- and disease creating trick-drinks like CocaCola), than it is to get hooked on cannabis. Nicotine is by far the most addictive substance on earth, and as such is the real culprit when it comes to acting as a step stone drug. The tobacco companies only abuses cannabis as a—to them—conveniently illegalized scape goat to blame for it's own unfortunate unspeakable truth.

Cannabis is with success actually used to wine off drug addicts of heroine and other highly addictive drugs, in order to ease their pains without taking over as being the next drug they get hooked on. It only makes them hungry, so that they eat well and then drowsy so that they'll sleep well, and therefore heal far quicker than without the help of cannabis. Hemp Cannabis is the real medicine that the pharmaceuticals need banned, in order to be able to make half of all money earned in the US of A today, and on highly addictive killer-drugs; filled with deadly side effects. Presumably to help keep the illusion intact that trick us into believing that we are vulnerable, sickly, and deadly people, and have no connection to spirit whatsoever; quite dead.

Here's a link to an article about flouride vs cannabis that I find rather interesting.

Hampelovgivningen i Europa
Hemp legalization in Europe

Reefer Madness var en avansert propagandafilm spekket med løgner, laget til lobbing av politikere for å ulovliggjøre hamp, for å gjøre bøndene fattige og konsentrere rikdommen om noen få bedriftseiere på bekostning av miljøkatastrofene i vår tid.
Reefer Madness was an advanced propaganda film full of lies, tailor made for lobbying against politicians, in order to make their major competition; the Hemp industry, illegalized. Reefer Madness was released in the cinemas of USA in 1937. The real reason to illegalize hemp, was in order to make the farmers poor, and to concentrate wealth onto a few rick industry magnats, at the cost of our complex environmental disasters of today.

Hugh Downs commentary on hemp,
ABC News, NewYork in November 1990:

Voters in the state of Alaska recently made marijuana illegal again for the first time in 15 years. If Alaska turns out to be like the other 49 states, the law will do little to curb use or production. Even the drug czar himself, William Bennett, has abandoned the drug war now that his "test case" of Washington, D.C., continues to see rising crime figures connected with the drug industry.

Despite the legal trend against marijuana, many Americans continue to buck the trend. Some pro-marijuana organizations in fact tell us that marijuana, also known as hemp, could, as a raw material, save the U.S. economy. That's some statement. Not by smoking it--that's a minor issue. Would you believe that marijuana could replace most oil and energy needs? That marijuana could revolutionize the textile industry and stop foreign imports? Those are the claims.

Some people think marijuana, or hemp, may be the epitome of yankee ingenuity. Mr. Jack Herer, for example, is the national director and founder of an organization called HEMP (that's an acronym for "Help End Marijuana Prohibition") located in Van Nuys, California. Mr. Herer is the author of a remarkable little book called, "The Emperor Wears No Clothes," wherein, not surprisingly, Mr. Herer urges the repeal of marijuana prohibition.

Mr. Herer is not alone. Throughout the war on drugs, several organizations have consistently urged the legalization of marijuana. "High Times" magazine for example, The National Organization to Reform Marijuana Laws or NORML for short, and an organization called BACH-the Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp.

But the reason the pro-marijuana lobby want marijuana legal has little to do with getting high, and a great deal to do with fighting oil giants like Saddam Hussein, Exxon and Iran. The pro-marijuana groups claim that hemp is such a versatile raw material, that its products not only compete with petroleum, but with coal, natural gas, nuclear energy, pharmaceutical, timber and textile companies.[1]

It is estimated that methane and methanol production alone from hemp grown as biomass could replace 90% of the world's energy needs.[2] If they are right, this is not good news for oil interests and could account for the continuation of marijuana prohibition. The claim is that the threat hemp posed to natural resource companies back in the thirties accounts for its original ban. At one time marijuana seemed to have a promising future as a cornerstone of industry. When Rudolph Diesel produced his famous engine in 1896, he assumed that the diesel engine would be powered by a variety of fuels, especially vegetable and seed oils. Rudolph Diesel, like most engineers then, believed vegetable fuels were superior to petroleum. Hemp is the most efficient vegetable.

In the 1930s the Ford Motor Company also saw a future in biomass fuels. Ford operated a successful biomass conversion plant, that included hemp, at their Iron Mountain facility in Michigan. Ford engineers extracted methanol, charcoal fuel, tar, pitch, ethyl-acetate and creosote. All fundamental ingredients for modern industry and now supplied by oil-related industries.[2]

The difference is that the vegetable source is renewable, cheap and clean, and the petroleum or coal sources are limited, expensive and dirty. By volume, 30% of the hemp seed contains oil suitable for high-grade diesel fuel as well as aircraft engine and precision machine oil.

Henry Ford's experiments with methanol promised cheap, readily renewable fuel. And if you think methanol means compromise, you should know that many modern race cars run on methanol. About the time Ford was making biomass methanol, a mechanical device[3] to strip the outer fibers of the hemp plant appeared on the market. These machines could turn hemp into paper and fabrics[4] quickly and cheaply. Hemp paper is superior to wood paper. The first two drafts of the U.S. constitution were written on hemp paper. The final draft is on animal skin. Hemp paper contains no dioxin, or other toxic residue, and a single acre of hemp can produce the same amount of paper as four acres of trees.[5] The trees take 20 years to harvest and hemp takes a single season. In warm climates hemp can be harvested two even three times a year. It also grows in bad soil and restores the nutrients. Hemp fiber-stripping machines were bad news to the Hearst paper manufacturing division, and a host of other natural resource firms. Coincidentally, the DuPont Chemical Company had, in 1937, been granted a patent on a sulfuric acid process to make paper from wood pulp. At the time DuPont predicted their sulfuric acid process would account for 80% of their business for the next 50 years.

Hemp, once the mainstay of American agriculture, became a threat to a handful of corporate giants. To stifle the commercial threat that hemp posed to timber interests, William Randolph Hearst began referring to hemp in his newspapers, by its Spanish name, "marijuana." This did two things: it associated the plant with Mexicans and played on racist fears, and it misled the public into thinking that marijuana and hemp were different plants.

Nobody was afraid of hemp--it had been cultivated and processed into usable goods, and consumed as medicine, and burned in oil lamps, for hundreds of years. But after a campaign to discredit hemp in the Hearst newspapers, Americans became afraid of something called marijuana.

By 1937, the Marijuana Tax Act was passed which marked the beginning of the end of the hemp industry. In 1938, "Popular Mechanics" ran an article about marijuana called, "New Billion Dollar Crop."[6] It was the first time the words "billion dollar" were used to describe a U.S. agricultural product. "Popular Mechanics" said, . . . a machine has been invented which solves a problem more than 6,000 years old. . . . The machine . . . is designed for removing the fiber- bearing cortex from the rest of the stalk, making hemp fiber available for use without a prohibitive amount of human labor. Hemp is the standard fiber of the world. It has great tensile strength and durability. It is used to produce more than 5,000 textile products ranging from rope, to fine laces, and the woody "hurds" remaining after the fiber has been removed, contain more than seventy-seven per cent cellulose, and can be used to produce more than 25,000 products ranging from dynamite to cellophane.

Well since the "Popular Mechanics" article appeared over half a century ago, many more applications have come to light. Back in 1935, more than 58,000 tons of marijuana seed were used just to make paint and varnish (all non-toxic, by the way). When marijuana was banned, these safe paints and varnishes were replaced by paints made with toxic petrochemicals. In the 1930s no one knew about poisoned rivers or deadly land-fills or children dying from chemicals in house paint.

People did know something about hemp back then, because the plant and its products were so common.

All ships lines were made from hemp and much of the sail canvas. (In fact the word "canvas" is the Dutch pronunciation of the Greek word for hemp, "cannabis.") All ropes, fozzers (sp?) and lines aboard ship, all rigging, nets, flags and pennants were also made from marijuana stalks. And so were all charts, logs and bibles. Today many of these items are made, in whole or in part, with synthetic petro-chemicals and wood. All oil lamps used to burn hemp- seed oil until the whale oil edged it out of first place in the mid- nineteenth century. And then, when all the whales were dead, lamplights were fueled by petroleum, and coal, and recently radioactive energy.[7]

This may be hard to believe in the middle of a war on drugs, but the first law concerning marijuana in the colonies at Jamestown in 1619, ordered farmers to grow Indian hemp. Massachussetts passed a compulsory grow law in 1631. Connecticut followed in 1632. The Chesapeake colonies ordered their farmers, by law, to grow marijuana in the mid-eighteenth century. Names like Hempstead or Hemphill dot the American landscape and reflect areas of intense marijuana cultivation.

During World War II, domestic hemp production became crucial when the Japanese cut off Asian supplies to the U.S. American farmers (and even their sons), who grew marijuana, were exempt from military duty during World War II. A 1942 U.S. Department of Agriculture film called "Hemp For Victory" extolled the agricultural might of marijuana and called for hundreds of thousands of acres to be planted.[8] Despite a rather vigorous drug crackdown, 4-H clubs were asked by the government to grow marijuana for seed supply. Ironically, war plunged the government into a sober reality about marijuana and that is that it's very valuable.

In today's anti-drug climate, people don't want to hear about the commercial potential of marijuana. The reason is that the flowering top of a female hemp plant contains a drug. But from 1842 through the 1890s a powerful concentrated extract of marijuana was the second most prescribed drug in the United States. In all that time the medical literature didn't list any of the ill effects claimed by today's drug warriors.[9]

Today, there are anywhere from 25 to 30 million Americans who smoke marijuana regularly. As an industry, marijuana clears well more than $4 billion a year. [This must have been a misreading of his notes—for 1990, the minimum figure would have been at least $40 billion for the entire nation. (phone interview with Jack Herer)] Obviously, as an illegal business, none of that money goes to taxes. But the modern marijuana trade only sells one product, a drug. Hemp could be worth considerably more than $4 [$40] billion a year, if it were legally supplying the 50,000 safe products the proponents claim it can.

If hemp could supply the energy needs of the United States, its value would be inestimable. Now that the drug czar is in final retreat, America has an opportunity to, once and for all, say farewell to the Exxon Valdez, Saddam Hussein and a prohibitively expensive brinkmanship in the desert sands of Saudi Arabia.

Footnotes:

[1] If you are unfamiliar with the facts about hemp, the world's premier renewable natural resource, a great place to start is Jack Herer's information-compressed, "Hemp and the Marijuana Conspiracy: The Emperor Wears No Clothes," (c) 1985, 1986, 1990, 1991, 1992, available in many bookstores, or from H.E.M.P., 5632 Van Nuys Blvd., Suite 210, Van Nuys, CA 91401. From the Introduction:

The purpose of this book is to revive the authoritative historical, social and economic perspective needed to ensure comprehensive legal reforms, abolish cannabis hemp/marijuana prohibition laws, and save the Earth's life systems.

Another book going to press at this time is "Hemp: Lifeline To The Future, Unexpected Answers To Our Environment And Economic Crises," written by Chris Conrad, the founder and international director of BACH, the Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp, Box 71093, LA, CA 90071-0093, 213/288-4152.

[2] "About 6% of contiguous United States land area put into cultivation for biomass could supply all current demands for oil and gas."

Very few people know what "biomass conversion" or "pyrolysis" mean—not only in terms of their dictionary definitions, but in terms of what they mean as alternative sources of energy, to the limited, expensive and dirty petro-chemical, nuclear, or coal sources. The only reason the U.S.—and every other nation on earth—can't once again become energy independent and smog free is because people are not educated concerning the facts about solutions to the environment/energy "crises" continuously lamented and tepidly addressed "leaders," claiming they are the best informed to decide what to do. The knowledge exists right now for our lifeline to the future and the health and well-being of the Seventh Generation yet unborn. Everyone of us must learn about this existent lifeline and teach everyone else we know what the facts are for THE way out of the current "crisis".

Utdrag fra Forklaring til Sykdom og Helse:

I 1937 kom det en (av eierne av alkoholindustrien, tobakksindustrien, petroleumsindustrien, bomullsindustrien og skogmisbruksindustrien forhåndsbestilt og inntil da tilsynelatende svært påkostet og velregissert) propagandafilm på kino i USA som heter Reefer Madness (Hampehunblomstsigarett-Galskap). Denne besto av skuespillere (som øvde inn et skript forfattet av velbetalte løgnere som hadde et uærlig mål om å tjene store penger på bekostning av datidens menneskers velferd og våre dagers vær- miljøulykker og -katastrofer). Disse skuespillerne ser nemlig ut som om de hadde gått på hele tiden økende doser med methamfetamin hver dag sammenhengende i minst 10 år, og derfor led av akutte paranoiatokter og gjorde vanvittig voldelige ting mot omgivelsene sine og seg selv, og var modne for glattcelle i galehuset for resten av sine dager. Og dette etter bare ett trekk fra en marijuanasigarett!

Og for å forvirre sine motstandere (som inntil da hadde betraktet hamp som den inntil da rimeligste kilden til store avlinger av hva som helst ved reparasjon av jorda under vekselbruk, sunn mat, hjemmelagde gratis varme og slitesterke klær, mat- og drivstoffolje, papir, plast og det aller meste annet et menneske trenger og derfor en menneskerett og en velsignelse fra Gud), kalte de hampen ved sitt spanske navn, brukt i Mexico. Derfor het det ikke hamp i filmen Reefer Madness, men derimot The Hideous Killer-Drug Marihuana eller på norsk, Det Skrekkelige Draps-Narkotikumet Marihuana (hampehunblomster). Først etter at lovforslaget hadde gått igjennom med stort flertall, oppdaget (den folkelige og spredte ut på allmennheten) hamp- og landbruksindustrien hva som hadde skjedd. For sent til å gjøre noe med det.

De første som reagerte etter at forbudet var lovpålagt, var imidlertid alle apotekerne rundt omkring, som i stor grad benyttet cannabis fra hampehunblomster som naturlig ingrediens i medisinene sine. Dette fordi at cannabis er den beste smertestilleren som finns, du blir ikke lett avhengig (det er faktisk langt lettere å bli avhengig av kaffe!); da det ikke gir noen fysiske abstinenser når du slutter med det. Dessuten gjør cannabis deg sulten når du er syk og kroppen trenger næring. Alle de patenterte petrokjemiske motgiftene og symptomdemperne som er laget for å erstatte den naturlige og derfor ikke patenterbare cannabisen, gjør deg derimot bare kvalm og derfor enda sykere.

Hele industrien deres ble forbudt. Politiet ble sendt rundt på alle gårdene og ødela alle hampeavlingene som folk hadde til eget bruk til klær, og alt det billige og bra måtte erstattes med mange ganger dårligere, dyrere, og svært giftige erstatninger fra den kjemiske petroleumsindustrien, skogmisbruksindustrien og bomullsindustrien.

Halvparten av alle sprøytemidler som brukes i USA i dag, betales for og benyttes av bomullsindustrien. Hamp fungerer isåfall som sitt eget sprøytemiddel og er en særs dårlig kunde for den kjemiske petroleumsindustrien. Bomull krever også mange ganger flere og mye giftigere kjemikalier for å prosesseres til garn og tøy og blir også derfor svært dyre å produsere. Stoffet og klærne som produseres av bomull, varer også bare en 26-del av brukstiden til klær som sydd av hampestoff. Så hamp var en umulig konkurrent for bomullsindustrien å tjene seg rik på.

Da industridyrking av hamp ble midlertidig tillatt i USA under den 2. verdenskrig; fordi importen av industrihamp fra Filippinene opphørte på grunn av Japanernes invasjon, kom den morsomme propagandafilmen Hemp for Victory (Hamp for Seier) på kinoene i USA. Dette for å oppfordre bøndene til å bidra med jorda si og gi dem stor fortjeneste i form av penger for produksjonen og innsatsen sin.

Imidlertid frarådde man soldatene til å røyke hampehunblomster, fordi de ble så åndelig forankret og derfor så tilgiende, inkluderende og fredelige. Sett ut fra sine nikotinavhengige og alkoholiserte overordne derimot, virket de bare apatiske og likegyldige; motstandsdyktige mot krigspropagandaen som de ble, til ikke å ville være med på å sloss mot noen som helst.

Tilgiende, fredelig og inkluderende oppførsel er nemlig ikke særlig populært under noen krig og spesielt ikke blant soldater. For nettopp åndelig forankret og derfor tilgivende og fredelig blir man når man røyker hampehunblomster. Hamp blir av propagandistene kalt ved sitt spanske navn marihuana. Særlig åndelig forankret blir man derimot ikke av alkohol eller tobakk. Snarere tvert i mot. Ved hjelp av etanol og nikotin blir man bare forankret i det dødelige og paranoide egoet.

Her er en link til en engelsk artikkel jeg synes er interessant som omhandler flour satt opp mot cannabis i forhold til IQ.

Her er en link til en engelsk bok som jeg er blitt veldig glad i:

Av tobakk blir man bare avhengig. Nikotin er det aller mest avhengighetsskapende stoffet vår kultur har forholdt seg til; foran alkohol, og er et normalt trappetrinn mot sterkere stoffer; nettopp fordi det gir en sånn ubetydelig liten rus, og fordi effekten aller mest består av milde abstinenser som maser etter en ny og en ny og en ny nikotindose. Tobakk er derfor svært lønnsom forbruksvarebutikk for alle som tar del i å forholde seg til det. Selv kiosken på hjørnet er blant de som er så apatiske at de ubevisst tillater seg å vise så lite medmenneskelighet at de sørger for å tjene store deler av pengene sine på noe så ensidig destruktivt som tobakksindustrien.

For det eneste du higer etter når du lider av nikotinabstinenser, er den deilige avslappende følelsen du hadde hele tiden inntil du ga deg selv din aller første dose. Og som du fysisk oppnår etter å ha avstått i 48 timer og bare har driti i å la deg forføre til å ta en ny. Etter først å ha latt deg hjernevaske med Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking (Endlig ikkerøyker!), riktignok. For med den intensive årelange hjernevasken fra media betalt av tobakksindustrien intakt, er det nesten umulig å klare å slutte på egenhånd uten den mentale opprydningen som boka gir.

Hamp ble i sin tid gitt til folket av Shiva; til bruk som klær, mat, energi, papir, plast, olje, vekselbruk for reparasjon av jorda før dyrking av annen grøde og til slutt inspirasjon i form av åndelig kontakt ved hjelp av hampehunblomstene.

Når hamp er forbudt og hampehunblomster er forbudt å røyke, blir man krigersk og fordømmende; kort sagt Jantelovstro. Og klarer ikke å tilgi noen for noe. Aller minst seg selv.
