favorite cheech and chong moment was when they got pulled over and the cop forgot what he was doing by the time he got to the window. that whole scene just had me rolling on the floor!
Cop: What do you want?
Cheech: What do you mean!? You're the one who pulled me over...
Cop: You gonna eat that?

If industrial hemp was so great, why haven't other countries
tried it?
Sure industrializing hemp should be legal, but I don't buy the 'hemp is the ultimate answer to everything' premise that pro-hemp folks say.
If hemp is so awesome, surely some country out there would have tried it by now. And if it was so wonderful they'd be flourishing...thus, the power of hemp would be undeniable. But that isn't happening. Why?
Why aren't the Peace Corps teaching third world countries about this 'wonder-plant'?
The war on drugs is the spear head of world tyranny
Another excuse to bust your door down.

let me spell it out 4 u
listen up boru, anything in your house that is not made from steel or glass can be made cleaner and stronger from hemp. some glass products can however be substituted for hemp based cellulose plastic.

February, 1938
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.

"surely some country out there would have tried it by now"
yes, but the problem is that bush made it illegal (zero tolerance) to import hemp to America and almost crushed the new hemp industry.

DEA seized 40,000 pounds of hemp birdseed when it came across the border, impounding the seed in a Detroit warehouse.

wait, what?

All the video?
The rest of the video otherwise I could just pass this off as more pot smoking degenerate propaganda who can't overcome their vices so they inform us of the wonder plant that can do everything from create clothes that last 1.2 million years, to cars that are more indestructable than carbon fiber.
So I guess I was right?
Just another front by the idiots who can't stop smoking pot to take over our movement?
Listen, legalize drugs. I will be right next to you fighting for your right to kill yourself slowly.
But at least be up front about it. Stop trying to convince me that Hemp is the wonder plant that can cure cancer, create clothes that last for 200 years, Create indestructible cars (we should probably put hemp on our tanks and humvees), etc, etc, etc.
By the way you all showed your true colors in response to my post. No wonder no one of sane intellect takes our movement seriously. The only response worth a dime was the user who chose to use men far superior in intellect than any of us to make his point.
But then again, what more should I expect from a bunch of pot heads who have no self mastery and don't have a filter for their tongue.
airiox please
The reason you get such an aggressive response to your post is due to the fact that your views are based off of the same ridicules propaganda that was used to make this substance illegal. You come off arrogant with your condescending attitude; you should do yourself a favor and engage in some real research on the history of hemp based products and look into scientific research that the private sector has done on cannabis. The reason I get so mad at cannabis prohibition is because it is based off lies, even Alcohol prohibition had facts backing the lethality of the substance and the social distress is causes. Yet with the death toll from cannabis use staying at 0 and never hearing of a pot head beating his wife or doing anything wrong other than smoking pot I have came to the conclusion that our government, police, educators, and ill-informed citizens like your self have lied for a long time. It makes me mad, fighting mad that the people you are told to trust as a child tell such erroneous non truths about the most benign substance known to man. That sir is why you are an ass hat
People like airhead and boru are not here to learn anything.
They are here to make the forum look silly and cause distractions. They are here to keep important topics off the front page. They want to debate, everything. I get a kick when people like this say, "our movement." Heck, these idiots don't even understand the difference between pot and hemp.
you're right asshole.........
and OHHHHHH how i love to get mother fucking high.
everyone else i know too......
i mean..........what ELSE is there to do?
what?......you mean......drink alcohol?....
sheeeit.
You sir are a moron
The legalization of cannabis and Hemp is a fundamental aspect to the freedom movement. O by the way, from reading the rest of these responses to your asinine statement it looks like you just got your ass handed to you. You sound like Sean Hannity, douche bag.
huh??
You are a dumb fuck!

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes.

"Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man.

It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance."

The DEA's Administrative Law Judge, Francis Young concluded: "In strict medical terms marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care."

Uhm ,Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer
So was Prescott Bush (Granpa Bush),and Joseph Kennedy.
Sorry but It's true...
Shamefully, Ford was an anti-Semitic and Nazi sympathizer. Comparable to Thomas Jefferson having slaves; it is paradoxical that Henry Ford (considered to be one of America's greatest minds) should also be preoccupied with racism.
http://www.hempcar.org/ford.shtml
The Hitler regime honored Henry Ford for his enduring support by bestowing upon him this medal, the
Verdienstkreutz Deutscher Adler (the Grand Service Cross of the Supreme Order of the German Eagle).

No...
...Ford was not anti-Semitic, rather, he knew damned well what Jewish bankers were doing globally and in America and did his best to expose it. Ultimately, he failed, but for trying to keep American sovereign against central bankers and for being a true genius--he was a great man and great American. And, he disassociated himself from Hitler once Hitler started utilizing violence against the Jews.
...and Thomas Jefferson owned slaves! And slept with them!
...and that negates every good thing he ever did! Right???? I'm not sure what your point is. Everyone has good things and bad things, things you will find admirable, and things you will find not so admirable. But that does not discount the value of their immense contributions to the betterment of society. No one is perfect. If you are looking for the perfect man, he left this earth 2000 years ago.
The facts:
Ford's medal from Germany was for making the automobile affordable to everyday men and women. It had no political strings attached. The medal had nothing to do with supporting Hitler or Naziism. It was received in 1938. This was over a year before the Second World War began. Ford had helped make automobiles available to the masses worldwide. Germany, coming out of a depression, honored Ford for his pioneering work in making automobiles affordable to anyone. Is that so awful? Seems to me that Ford was just being an enterprising capitalist. (Oh noes!)
Also....
Ford's plants in Britain provided materiel for the British forces in North Africa during the Second World War. As you may be aware, Britain was Germany's (Hitler's) enemy in that war. I guess Ford's "Nazi sympathies" were not very strong, were they?
Ford was a well-known pacifist and organized peace protests and movements during the Great War (WW1). When it came time to fight (WW2), though, he somehow managed to get behind the Allies (see above).
(But it's okay to overlook minor details, when you have an exciting story to tell, right????)

He may have been a genius,
He may have been a genius, but I doubt he'd like to see what happened to the organization with his name attached to it, the Ford Foundation which has caused serious problems for this country. Check these links for more info
