Marijuana Saved George Bush's Life

In 1937, America outlawed "Marihuana" as a dangerous menace to society, claiming that "Marihuana" causes rape, murder, insanity and listening to jazz.

America legalized and taxed "Marihuana" in 1942 to support our troops during World War 2. The parachute used by George Herbert Walker Bush when his bomber was shot down over the Pacific in 1942 was 100% legal American "Marihuana." George W. Bush was not born until 1946. Therefore, legal "Marihuana" has saved the lives of 2 US Presidents.

Prove us wrong! Prove us wrong! Prove us wrong!
We hereby extend our $100,000 challenge to prove us wrong!

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before . . . CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA!
http://www.jackherer.com

If America legalizes "Marihuana" again to support our troops, hemp will replace fossil fuels and nuclear power for the world's energy, and war for oil will end. Write to your Congressman and tell them to reinstate the 1942 USDA program, HEMP FOR VICTORY.

cannabis hemp did wonders for those seeking a new nation to takeover.
Without this plant Washington and his men would of frozen to death. We would of never sailed the seas to get here. Cannabis Hmep help build a society, single-handed. America at one time was totally dependent on this plant. It was considered money.

Bush gave a speech about a week back saying that prohibition never worked. He stated that when alcohol became illegal people started making whiskey from their basements. He should eat his own fucking words and make cannabis legal. George was a coke sniffer, and his wife was nicknamed dimebag laura.

Why was Bush talking about Prohibition? Is there something on the agenda? That's pretty significant. The only thing left to remove from prohibition is Herb and sex with a minor.

Uses
Housing
70% of the Cannabis plant's total weight is made up of the 'hurd' or woody inner core. This part of the plant is THC free and can be used in housing construction. The silica leached from the soil by the plant combined with unslaked lime forms a chemical bond similar to cement which is both fire and waterproof (see Cannabis Homes).
Food
Hemp may be grown also for food (the seed) but in the UK at least (and probably in other EU countries) cultivation licences are not available for this purpose. Within Defra (the UK's Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) hemp is treated as purely a non-food crop, despite the fact that seed can and does appear on the UK market as a perfectly legal food product.

It can be used in desserts such as "magic brownies" and ganja goo balls when purified into a base ingredient known as cannabutter.

In Canada, hemp seed food products are common and range from carbonated beverages to frozen waffles. Many companies produce value added hemp seed items that include the oils of the seed, whole hemp grain (which is sterilized as per international law), hulled hemp seed (the whole seed without the mineral rich outer shell), hemp flour, hemp cake (a by-product of pressing the seed for oil) and hemp protein powder.
Nutrition
Both the complete protein and the oils contained in hempseeds (rich in lanolin and linolenic acids) are in ideal ratios for human nutrition.
Fibre
Until its rediscovery in the late 1980s, the use of hemp for fibre production had declined sharply over the past decades, but hemp still occupied an important place amongst natural fibres as it is strong, durable and unaffected by water. The main uses of hemp fibre were in rope, sacking, carpet, nets and webbing. A hemp clothing industry was reborn in the West in 1988, and hemp is being used in increasing quantities in paper manufacturing. The cellulose content is about 70%.
Harvesting the fibre
Smallholder plots are usually harvested by hand. The plants are cut at 2 to 3 cm above the soil and left on the ground to dry. Mechanical harvesting is now common, using specially adapted cutter-binders or simpler cutters.

The cut hemp is laid in swathes to dry for up to four days. This was traditionally followed by retting, either water retting whereby the bundled hemp floats in water or dew retting whereby the hemp remains on the ground and is affected by the moisture in dew moisture, and by moulds and bacterial action. Modern processes use steam and machinery to separate the fibre, a process known as thermo-mechanical pulping.
Fuel
Fuel can be a by-product of hemp cultivation. One fuel would be biodiesel because of the oils in the seeds and stalk of the hemp, another would be biofuel from the fibrous stalks.

today i heard from a releivable source at TV that Paul Martin, Prime minister of canada, ate some weed cookies made by his wife or something like that.

just had to share it, since it seems it is the appropriated thread to talk about this


and if hemp was being cultivated in mass quantity, it could virtually save the planet. with hemp you can make any clothes, PAPER (imagine all the trees it would save), oil (could even work with a mixture for the cars!).

even Henry Ford made a car in 1929 with hemp as a component of the car.

really hemp is the future. sad tho, govs find it too expensive to grow and transform..

This is slightly off topic well not really. I was reading Top Gear magazine a few months ago and it was about Henry Ford wanting to use hemp to build his cars and they said at the end of its life you could either bury it or smoke it lol.

I disagree. They would have just made parachutes out of something else. And besides, why are you posting this on a site that promotes weed use? I think it's safe to say most people here would rather have Bush dead, so saying that weed let him live isn't something good to say.

Ooh! I know where I can turn this trivial info (with a bit of potential) into useful info. Even though this has logical fallacies (Marijuana didn't save his life, and even if it did, that would not be positive), I will go up to this one dumbass bitch at school and tell this story because she likes Bush and she'll say something like "Whatever" or "Shut up."

The Tax Stamps issued during World War 2 read, "PRODUCER OF MARIHUANA."
This means that "Marihuana" can be legalized, taxed, and regulated as a legitimate industry.

This fight to legalize "Marihuana" has lasted the entire span of cannabis prohibition, and at no point in the last 60 years have I ever heard of America trying to legalize "Marihuana" to support our troops except during World War 2.

Did the hippies ever try to legalize "Marihuana" for the Vietnam War? Did anyone try to legalize weed for the first Gulf War? The plan worked in World War 2, but was then never attempted again.

We have to use THIS as the best argument for "Marihuana" legalization, because this is why "Marihuana" was legalized the last time. We know the difference between marijuana and hemp, but our government doesn't care.

In 1937, by outlawing "Marihuana," our government was really outlawing hemp.
In 1942, by legalizing "Marihuana," our government was really legalizing hemp.
After World War 2, by outlawing "Marihuana" again, our government was really outlawing hemp again.
Now, by legalizing "Marihuana" again, our government will really be legalizing hemp. This plan worked before and it will work again. Keep telling everyone, teachers, friends, everyone.

Legal "Marihuana" is one of the main reasons America won World War 2.

Don't be weak, powerless or stupid.

Download the 1942 USDA film, Hemp For Victory, and make as many copies as you can and send them to as many different political and social groups as you can.

Everyone has a stake in whether or not our military achieves victory now, otherwise, we'll have another 9-11.

Funny story, off to the side but sort of related.... 9-11-01 was actually another 9-11, because on 9-11-94, an American named Frank Corder stole a small plane and crashed it into the White House.

Who could possibly argue against legalizing "Marihuana" to support our troops when we show them proof from our own government that this is precisely the plan that helped "the greatest generation" protect our rights and freedom from Hitler?

Don't stop at just writing to Congress.

Each person we get to actually sit down and watch Hemp For Victory is one more person that will most likely join our cause.

Who would argue against legalizing marijuana when we show them proof that the US Federal government legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War 2?

Many Americans don't care about stoners, that's why they don't vote to legalize weed. But if we show them what the general population has to gain from legalizing "Marihuana," they might be more receptive.

For over ten years, the American media bombarded the people with sensationalized bullshit about "Marihuana" turning teenagers into axe-murdering zombies and good little innocent schoolgirls into Paris Hilton and Jenna Bush.

Finally, after enough hysteria had been whipped up over the "Mexican Demon Weed," the US Federal government outlawed "Marihuana" to protect our country from destruction.

5 years later, the US Federal legalized "Marihuana" again to protect our country from destruction.

Air America

http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/

http://www.youngturk.com/xoops/

http://www.mikemalloy.com/

http://www.thomhartmann.com/

http://peterwerbe.com/index.htm

These are just a few of the shows on Air America radio. Contact these organizations and try to start a media campaign to get Hemp For Victory mentioned on the radio.

Even just a one-line mention could spark interest in areas of our society that would be seemingly unrelated. Perhaps a young lawyer somewhere will hear of the film and start some legal campaign to have it played on national television. Who knows? We have to try. This film is absolute proof that the US Federal government is lying to the American public about cannabis. Hemp For Victory holds more weight in this fight than any other piece of evidence we have, because it was made by the US Federal government. For 60 years now, every administration of our government has tried to erase this piece of evidence from our history. Every administration since the end of World War 2 has attempted to subjugate the entire human race under the military-industrial complex and the petrochemical industry, and this is only because "Marihuana" is illegal.

We would not be in Iraq if it were not for oil. Anything else is a lie. If giving democracy by way of a gun to Iraqis is so important, why didn't we give the Iraqis their 'freedom' more than 20 years ago, when Bush Sr. was propping up Saddam Hussein's regime in a ploy to strike at the Iranians?

The US government, and it's corporate backers, all tied to the banking industry, have played God with all of our lives for far too long and it is leading our planet towards nuclear annihilation, still.

"The world struggle for money is actually a struggle for energy, as it is through energy that we may produce food, shelter, transportation and entertainment. It is this struggle which often erupts into open war. If we remove the cause, these conflicts may never occur."
