Marijuana Saved George Bush's Life

[Marijuanifornia]

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.

i like wherre u going with this

[daima]

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.

dai*ma :D

[activedenial]

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. :smokin: 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.

[halo]

I have always viewed marijuana prohibition as unconstitutional because the constitution was written on hemp paper!

[SomeGuy]

yeah I hvae read parts of that book " The Emperor Wears no Cloths" on line...I think everyone on this site should look at it.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

Yeah, that is a very valid point... tell someone that can do something :)

[ibreakthings]

Im sure he would have had a parachute made of another material if marijuana hadnt been used.. but it still did save his life.

But i dont get how a parachute would be made out of weed

i guess im too high

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.

[Musician]

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..

[Whos Carl]

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.

[Jeff Spicoli]

crazy hippys

[Brennan]

well this guy has owned the american government. I'd watch out though they tend to kill people they can't out smart.

[eddievanzant]

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.

[eddievanzant]

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."

[Marijuanifornia]

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.

[Stoner Shadow Wolf]

what's stopping them from illegalizing it again in their desperate time of need for money? we cant stop them, we're too fucking weak lazy and stupid, i hate us.

[Marijuanifornia]

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?

[HeLTeR.SKeLTeR]

great post, it really motivated me to write to a congressman about the issue



its our generation's task to make cannabis legal, lets all just do what we can and have it multiplied :)

[Marijuanifornia]

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.

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."

[Shelbay]

I was asking a few hours ago about what we could do (positive and legal) to become more active in changing the way Government is...this is a great post for supporting legalization or at least putting it in a "light" where the ones that look at MJ as just a stoners "thing" could actually have a valid reason to support legalization..people love money..thats what will get it legalized..not the truth but what the Government can make off of it.

[scooterjay]

i just finished reading "flyboys", an account of eight us navy fliers downed in 1942 on the tiny island of chichi jima. one of them was george h.w. bush. his parachute canopy was made of rayon and the cords were hemp cordage. he survived cause he drifted far enough out to sea, the other guys either landed on the island or in the surf. they got eaten by the japanese officers on chichi jima!

Grow Hemp For The War.

[Marijuanifornia]

Come on, people.

The weed's not going to grow itself..... oh wait, yes it is.

The weed's not going to turn itself into gasoline and paper.

Prohibition has lasted too damn long and the war for oil will go nuclear if we don't stop this soon.

America legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War 2. If America legalizes "Marihuana" to support our troops now, hemp will replace fossil fuels for the world's energy and war for oil will end.

The reason cannabis prohibition has lasted so long is because of a lack of truthful information available to the masses (like the Dark Ages). What you have in front of you is access to virtually every piece of information in the history of humanity. There is no way for the status quo to survive the information age. We have the truth. Now, we have to get it to the masses.

[tadaa]

I don't think you people get it. The government doesn't care what pot can be used for, it comes down to money. It will never, ever be legal in the U.S

[Weeden]

If money is the issue at hand for the folks who matter, then weed still should be legalized. There are billions of dollars being put into prisons for people who have been put in there on marijuana charges. Not to mention, the gov't would tax weed and make lots of money off it.

On the other hand, I heard that it will never be made legal because growing it is so easy that it wouldn't be profitable for companies/gov't.

But then, if they still made growing it illegal and just legalize buying/smoking it, you'd think that most people wouldn't bother with the risk of growing.

The biggest problem is that most people would not vote for a president that would look lenient on a subject like this. The general public is against weed, since it has been lumped into the same category as crack or heroin. Most people wouldn't argue that those drugs are good. Since weed is just "another drug" to most people, it would be an up-hill battle.

It would take decades of changing public opinion before any real changes could be made.

Show people that "Marihuana" is not just "another drug."

The US Federal government legalized and taxed "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War 2.

In only 15 minutes, you can sit anyone down and show them Hemp For Victory and explain its significance and they will not be able to argue against legalizing "Marihuana." No one could logically argue against this film, because it was made by the same US Federal government that had just outlawed "Marihuana" as the worst drug menace in history 5 years prior.

The proof is here:

This film will end cannabis prohibition again and for all the years to come.

[Marijuanifornia]

Make as many copies as you can and pass them out at school, work and church. Give a copy of Hemp For Victory to your history teachers and ask them to play it in class. Keep telling everyone about this film and this government program until "Marihuana" is legalized again.

Since the end of World War II, the US has held the threat of nuclear annihilation over all the world for the sole sake of the military-industrial complex. Energy is needed to power the war machines. Fossil oil is the world's leading legal energy resource, because it can be controlled by a select few. Hemp, were it to be legal again, would replace all fossil fuels, while improving our societies, literally, from the ground, up. US tax dollars should be spent on levees and schools instead of prisons and war.

George Washington paid his taxes with pot plants.

http://www.jackherer.com

All the information you need is on the internet. Download Hemp For Victory, make copies, and pass them out to everyone. If you want cannabis to be legal, use this film. This ended cannabis prohibition before, and it will again.

[Marijuanifornia]

If you have a DVD burner, you can make copies of Hemp For Victory on your computer. A stack of blank discs might cost twenty dollars. With twenty dollars, and your time and devotion to this cause, each of you can bring several hundred more copies of this film into the world. Pass them out to everyone. Give a copy to your parents. Research the full extent of the Hemp For Victory campaign during World War II and tell everyone how "Marihuana" saved America from Hitler.

If you ever find yourself in a discussion with a Republican, bring up the fact that "Marihuana" saved George Bush's life. It is things like this that will get the wheels in motion again.

It is up to us to bring this film back into the mainstream. Don't rely on ABC or CNN to show this. The majority of popular American media is controlled by only five large corporations, none of which want you to know anything useful. http://www.benbagdikian.com

[eddievanzant]

I currently have thirty blank single-layer DVDs and if you can give me a direct link to say, a torrent file of a documentary about how marijuana isn't that bad (but not one just about the agricultural hemp), I'll make some copies.

[Kryzco]

This info does need to get to the masses

I at one point was anti-pot to a T

I would stop hanging around with people who smoked (my best friends for years), I feel like shit for it btw, but I've made my amends

and look at me now

I'm the biggest stoner I know

funny how things change

my point is I'm a stubborn ass person, and if I could change, I'm dead sure we can get a lot more people to change too, we just need to feed them the truth

and I agree with the one person who said that if the govt learns of the profits it could make from cannabis, then it will change its mind, not for the truth, for the profit

[sweetnhighz]

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.

Another film/video to consider is something called "Hemplands" - I found it at my public library. I think "Hemplands" and "Hemp For Victory" are 2 films that go hand in hand and as has been stated, they need to be played for the masses.

eddievanzant & sweetnhighz: you missed the point of Bush's life being saved by a parachute made partially from hemp. The point of this is that Lord bushit and his USA admin. are hypocrits. If someone/something saves your life, do you then turn around and stab him in the back???:confused:

[eddievanzant]

If you think that hemp was the only alternative and if we didn't have it Bush would be dead then yes they are hypocrites. There's more than two sides on the issue though. Bush might be thinking (if he's thinking at all), "I know hemp has tons of benefits agriculturally and medically, but I'm still against recreational drug use." Unfortunately, the president usually represent the opinions of the people, and until we can change the people's minds about weed, there'll never be a president willing to legalize it, for any reasons.

[the joint meister]

dude i smoke every day i grow my own shit so i can afford to iv'e bin smokin since i was 12 and now im 21 and i still think its a gift from god and snoop i like him but if he really thinks that than he can just od on somtin else

guys were really going somewhere with thsi thread. its got some great info i havnt heard yet. its alwasys hard for me to think of ways to convert completely "anti drug" people. but this is some good info. lets keep this going every1 post all taht u know about why prohibition is bs, how great america was when hemp was legal blah balh balh.

[Marijuanifornia]

The most important fact to tell people when discussing cannabis legalization is that the US Federal government legalized and taxed "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War II.

"Marihuana" played a majour role in stopping Hitler.

Don't be afraid to talk about marijuana in school or work or church or anywhere else. Yes, it is illegal, but it is not immoral. Unfortunately, "Marihuana" saved George Bush's life, but "Marihuana" also saved America and the world. "Marihuana" will save America and the world again.

"GREAT BRITAIN lifted hemp prohibition in 1993. Animal bedding, paper and textiles have been developed. A government grant was given to develop new markets for natural fibers. 4,000 acres were grown in 1994. Subsidies of $230 Eng. pounds per acre are given by the govt. for growing."

If England can successfully grow hemp without being overrun by stoner criminals, then certainly the United States of America should be able to.

What is America waiting for?

[Marijuanifornia]

Can you give me one simple link to download the "Hemp For Victory" video?

I don't know of any yet besides Archive.org, but their download may have audio/video sync problems. You can try it anyway if you care to:

http://www.archive.org/details/Hemp_for_victory_1942

I ordered a VHS copy originally and then recorded it to DVD. I'm trying to load the DVD of Hemp For Victory now. If everything works correctly, you should be able to get it this way. I'll let you know if it works or not.

In the meantime, keep looking. It's bound to turn up somewhere.

[Marijuanifornia]

My DVD won't seem to load, perhaps because its a burned disc. The 64kb download of Hemp For Victory at Archive.org doesn't seem to have sound, and the 776MB MPEG2 looks like it will take about 4 hours total.

While we wait, make some flyers and pass them out around school and work and around town. Drop some off at coffee shops and record stores and police stations. Show everyone how the US Federal government legalized "Marihuana" to support the American military during World War II.

"Marihuana" saved George Bush's life. Since most of the US doesn't know this, it is up to us to tell them. Any copy store can make at least a hundred full-page black and white ads for less than five dollars. That would be one hundred times more of a chance that "normal" Americans will learn the true history of cannabis, for only five dollars.

Keep reminding everyone, everywhere, all day, everyday that the US Federal government legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War II. The US Federal government has tried to erase this part of our history, so it is up to the few people involved in this cause to bring this back to popular society. Until "Marihuana" was outlawed in 1937, cannabis hemp was the world's largest industry. When "Marihuana" is legalized again, cannabis hemp will be the world's largest industry again.

This should disprove the notion that stoners have no purpose in life.

ummm for some reason i now hate weed due to the fact that it saved there fucking lifes... ohh well... ill still smoke, but dear ganja lord, you have let me down, im not sure if i can still belive in you, amen

[Marijuanifornia]

Basically, the only bad thing about "Marihuana" is the fact that it did save George Bush's life. However, legalizing cannabis again will destroy the fortunes of Bush and bin Laden, and then the US and the Middle East can each stay in our own little areas and not bomb each other over oil.

Considering that the plan now is for a handful of people to just soak up as much money as they can before the planet chokes to death on polluted air, certainly we can come up with a better plan.

We have come up with a better plan, but we have to implement it again.

Grow HEMP for the WAR. Hemp will replace oil for our gasoline, Bush and bin Laden will go broke, and the Greenhouse Effect will begin to reverse... all at the same time.

The Archive.org downloads of HEMP FOR VICTORY appear to actually have a five to seven second delay between picture and sound, so they're not flawless. Other than that site, I can't find any other readily downloadable versions of this film.

However, many sites have copies for sale, some for as low as four dollars.

This may be your best route in obtaining a flawless copy for yourself.

Once you have the film, get to a DVD burner and run off as many copies as you can and give them out as Christmas presents. Just keep telling everyone.

America legalized "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War II.

"Marihuana" saved George Bush's life.

Do you want marijuana legalized again or not?

This is the plan used by our own government during WWII.

Grow HEMP for the WAR.

Pay the appropriate amount to our government, receive a Special Tax Stamp that allows you to be a "Producer of Marihuana," and then that's it. "Marihuana" is legal again.

This plan worked during WWII, obviously, because the US won. It will work again. Tell everyone you know, and even people you don't know, the US legalized "Marihuana" to support the US military and domestic economy during World War II. "Marihuana" saved George Bush's life. "Marihuana" will end war for oil, deforestation and the Greenhouse Effect all at the same time.

As long as you are on the computer, tell every Representative in the US Senate and House to reinstate the successful 1942 USDA program, HEMP FOR VICTORY.

It is doubtful that anyone in the US is not aware that marijuana is illegal, so anyone who smokes marijuana in the US does so willingly despite knowing that they are becoming a "criminal." Prohibition simply does not work. Alcohol proved that. To outlaw a taxable commodity puts that commodity completely in the hands of a "criminal" element.

"It is to be hoped that the menace of marijuana can be wiped out before it falls into the vicious protectorate of powerful members of the underworld."
http://www.redhousebooks.com/galleries/assassin.htm

All of the arguments against the drug menace "Marihuana" go against all logic and reason.

This is not about getting high. If it was, there would be some mention of smoking "MARIHUANA" in the 1942 USDA film, HEMP FOR VICTORY, which there is not. But there is a Special Tax Stamp that reads, "PRODUCER OF MARIHUANA," and fields upon fields of legal "MARIHUANA" grown to keep the US safe and free.

This is why this film and this program are so important. "Marihuana" was outlawed as the worst drug menace in the US in 1937 and then the US LEGALIZED "MARIHUANA" IN 1942 TO SUPPORT OUR TROOPS.

How can this be possible? Is "Marihuana" the worst drug menace in history? Or is "Marihuana" the most useful and most abundant annually-renewable natural resource on Earth? It can't be both, can it?

So successful have the media conglomerates of the US been in their fight against popular intellectual development that even now, when absolute proof that the US Federal government is lying about cannabis sativa, the people have been dumbed down so much that they wouldn't even believe it.

The people of the US are bombarded daily with so much useless information, that when they actually see something of substance, they generally disregard it. This is precisely why the full importance of the 1942 USDA film, HEMP FOR VICTORY, has not yet been realized.

Billions of dollars are spent each year making sure cannabis sativa does not become legal again, even if it is legalized to support our troops and end this God-damned illegal war for oil in the Middle East. A handful of rich industrialists have nearly destroyed the entire planet's ecosystem and are bringing us closer each day to environmental collapse, or nuclear annihilation from escalating wars over limited resources.

There is only one known resource on this planet that can supply nearly everything we need, while repairing the ecological damage caused by the last 70 years of industrialization, all at the same time. That substance is the cannabis sativa plant. The US Federal government legalized "Marihuana" during WWII and the US emerged triumphant. We will follow this same plan again, because we know it works.

Do your part for our soldiers, our nation and our planet.

Great post, If I seriously knew how to take action I would, just dunno what to write, where to write, etc.

[Marijuanifornia]

One thing I've noticed is that The Daily Show (TDS) on Comedy Central has a reach far beyond it's own audience.

Sometimes, when TDS runs a story as a "joke," majour media networks such as CNN and MSNBC have to pick up on it as a "real" news story. Also, with Jon Stewart's popularity outside of TDS and his role in Half-Baked, and Stephen Colbert's popularity from his unbelievably fantastic bashing of that pampered little salad-tosser in our White House, TDS and The Colbert Report have a following and an influence within our national media that can certainly get some wheels turning, even if they get moving slowly.

If you want to know who to write to about "Marihuana" saving George Bush's life, my first suggestion would be The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. If TDS plays Hemp For Victory, or even shows a clip of the Special Tax Stamp from WWII, we may see quite a few more Americans on our side.

I'm currently writing a book that explains all of this in detail, with pictures and everything. Obviously, with a title like, "HEMP FOR VICTORY: How Marijuana Saved George Bush's Life," quite a few people would become interested.

What more proof do you need that the government is lying to you about "Marihuana?"

The United States of America legalized "MARIHUANA" in 1942. "Marihuana" was not legalized so people could get high, although people did get high because "Marihuana" was legalized. "Marihuana" was not legalized for cancer patients, people with glaucoma, people wasting away from AIDS, or even to smoke. The United States of America legalized "Marihuana" to support our soldiers in war.

Those US citizens who grew "Marihuana" during World War II were not called criminals. They were called "Patriots." They are respectfully referred to as "The Greatest Generation."

Legalize "Marihuana" now to support our troops and hemp will replace foreign oil for our energy.

[Marijuanifornia]

Get off your lazy stoner ass and legalize weed.

"Marihuana" was legalized during World War II. Bush has tried to make this out to be World War III. "The Pearl Harbor of the 21st century happened today." - George W. Bush, September 11, 2001.

Pearl Harbor led to the legalization of "Marihuana" and we won World War II in only 3 years. Now, we are in an "endless global war against terrorism," we face an "Axis of Evil" again, and our soldiers do not have enough of the necessary equipment to win. The last time we faced this exact scenario, we legalized "Marihuana." So why can we not follow this plan again?

Get the fuck off your lazy stoner ass and legalize weed. You want it legalized? Look at why it was legalized the last time.

"Marihuana" is still illegal and we are still at war for oil....

Even those in charge of the legalization campaign in the US have totally missed the importance of the 1942 USDA film, HEMP FOR VICTORY.

In 1937, "Marihuana" was outlawed as the worst drug menace in human history, to protect the citizens of this nation from a hardcore narcotic. Only five years later, "Marihuana" was legalized to support our troops and keep us safe and free.

Tell the anti-cannabis crowd that their right to hate pot smokers was protected during World War II by the legalization of the "Marihuana" plant.

Legalize "Marijuana" for the same reason we legalized "Marihuana" the last time; to support our troops and keep our nation free.

It's simply because the government has never taken the time to realize that potsmokers aren't filthy, it's just what has been said all along about the herb and its users...We need to change things to what's right, quit fucking worrying about shit overseas, and focus on our domestic issues. Don't go look for oil thousands of miles away, grow hemp on our homeland, allow the American citizens to grow their own pot, that way we won't have so many alcoholics beating the shit out of their families...It doesn't make any sense why it's illegal for a plant to grow.."Hey agent Smith, if we destroy that field of Cannabis, we can televise it and tell the American public that their money's being well spent because this field of plants can single handedly destroy our society." Bullshit. Alcohol is so unbelievably toxic to the body compared to marijuana, and it's basically used to only get drunk. This wonderful plant that we all adore has many uses...and currently has no accepted medical use? Fuck your studies. Thousands of people know that it's the most effective thing that you can use without worrying of adverse side effects.

Honestly, every potsmoker should realize that it's fucking stupid for us to be able to be imprisoned for smoking marijuana...

This is a stupid law that doesn't help anyone whatsoever. They need to spend their time regulating things that are dangerous and harmful to others. Protecting and serving. Just give it a bit of time, we'll get where we want to be with cannabis.

[newactivist]

Actually guys it's happening as we speak. In California a bill legalizing hemp farming has passed the houses and is sitting on Arnolds desk for signature. As soon as he signs it growing hemp in California will be legal again. As soon as they do farming states like S. Dakota will start as well. They have legalized hemp at the state level for a long time, waiting on the day when the federal government changes their hemp laws. California is no longer waiting. These real leaders have taken the decision away from the DEA, rightly so, and there is nothing the feds at any level can do about it.

This is the death knell for prohibition. This means the prohibitionists are about to lose a lot of political and financial support many different industries. Now the only support will really come from law enforcement, alchohol companies and the Families Against Whatever dupes. With the end of hemp prohibition and people getting more educated about medical marijuana, two of the three legs of marijuana prohibition will be gone.

Most of these measures were brought about by the hard work, belief and dedication of people like Jack Herer and organizations like NORML, MPP and SAFER. We owe these people a great debt of gratitude that I don't ever feel will be paid back. I would like to thank them here and now, just so they know they are appreciated and that we care for their sacrifice.

Go Arnold!!!

Peace.

"GREAT BRITAIN lifted hemp prohibition in 1993. Animal bedding, paper and textiles have been developed. A government grant was given to develop new markets for natural fibers. 4,000 acres were grown in 1994. Subsidies of $230 Eng. pounds per acre are given by the govt. for growing."

If England can successfully grow hemp without being overrun by stoner criminals, then certainly the United States of America should be able to.

What is America waiting for?

To be honest with you America (the government) isn't waiting for anything. They know the benefits of legalizing hemp AND CANNABIS! They are simply stalling as long as they can because this whole thing has been about money and it allways will be. Your are right that in the sense that it is up to us (the people) to spread the word because the government allready knows it.:dance:

[Dizz-Oh!]

A mile from my house is around 100 ruderalis plants. Down the river is another 100 or so. A very good friend mines on land that was once farmed for hemp, and still has hundreds and hundreds plants. So it's Sept. 2. I'm gonna find out when the seeds should be ripe and...trust me if I can pull it off I'll end up making my own Hemp 4 Victory film next spring.

[Marijuanifornia]

If I read the CA hemp bill correctly, it restricts cannabis production in such a way as to doom the hemp market to failure. It does not give cannabis the freedom it needs to thrive as the world's number one industry again.
It seems the plan is to restrict cannabis production so that the hemp market has no real chance of flourishing. This way, politicians and their corporate masters can come out on the news and say something like, "See, people? Even if we legalize it, it just doesn't have a place in our modern free market. So it should just stay illegal."

Remember that this is a government of, for, and by the rich people, so they're not exactly going to go down without a fight. And they have a lot more money than us to pimp out whatever message they want us all to hear on the nightly news.

I still see our best chance as getting through personally to either Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert. About a year ago, I wrote a two-page introduction to this plan on The Daily Show message board. I received a very promising e-mail reply from The Daily Shows' Director of Public Relations saying they wanted to meet me. When I tried to write back, their messageboard was taken down and I haven't been able to get through to anyone there since. I don't know what happened, but had I made it to New York, this would have already been taken care of.

On the ColbertNation website, we have a second chance. I have started this thread over at ColbertNation and I require your assistance in making more and more people aware of this decades-old hypocrisy regarding legalized cannabis production in the US.

Over and over again, the truth must be drilled into the minds of the voting public. The US Federal government legalized and taxed "Marihuana" to support our troops during World War II.

I have said before, if this successful plan is reinstated, hemp will end our dependence on foreign oil, thus ending our need to play God with the Middle East to power our yuppie bullshit SUVs.

If any of you would, please join me in educating the visitors at the ColbertNation website until the 1942 USDA film, "HEMP FOR VICTORY," is featured on Mr. Colbert's program for the whole world to see.

We're shown the World Trade Centre collapsing over and over again, and we are told that it was our new "Pearl Harbour." After the first Pearl Harbour, "Marihuana" was legalized to support our troops.
If the attacks of 9-11-01 were our new "Pearl Harbour," then "Marihuana" should be legalized to support our troops again, because we did this last time and defeated the first Axis of Evil in only three years.

This plan will work again. Please join me in making the general non-smoking population aware of what they have to gain from the legalization of "Marihuana."

[Markass]

We need to stand up...But personally, I don't want to care for a country that calls itself free and guarantees personal freedom to its citizens who pay the government to work for them, yet won't allow us to grow cannabis just because you can get high from it. It's not as harmful as other things, and you can't die from smoking it...I think that this is crap and completely contradicts everything that I've actually been taught in my life about the United States Government..

*sorry if this sounds out of place, I only read the first post or two then replied*

Bottom line, who cares if "Marihuana" saved George Bush's life. That has zero implications in what's going on today and by no means is a reason for Bush to push for legalization. And that's just the plain fact of the matter.

Now, I'm not a republican, and despite the fact that I'm defending Bush... I'm NOT defending Bush!!! I am simply taking a completely objective standpoint as a response to the initial post.


Hold on... I don't remember reading anywhere in the post if the poster said anything about current day anything. So sorry if that was a poor assumption. I'm fried. :stoned: :stoned: :stoned: :stoned:

could you elaborate on this part of your statement please? I actually got my hopes up when I heard about a hemp bill on the desk of Arnold. Now I haven't read the bill myself but I was on jack herer's website and reading the letter he wrote to arnold asking him to veto it because the THC level of a hemp plant could not exceed .3%, and THC being the natural sunscreen of the plant being in tiny concentration would produce poorer quality stocks. Is this what you are talking about when you say the plant has no real chance of flourishing? or is there more to it than just that? :thumbsup:

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a muppet with no clue how to run the richest state in the US. Don't expect any help from him.
Cannabis needs to be allowed to grow the way nature intended it. The limitations put on "Marihuana" production in the California bill would hinder cannabis' ability to be a viable competitor in the current global market.

California has direct democracy. The people can vote on a state ballot initiative to legalize "Marihuana" to support our troops again.

Well, we're back to supporting MPP, NORML and SAFER since they are bypassing the government and taking it to direct vote of the people. When it passes a ballot initiative it become law, period.

I noticed that he vetoed it based on what the DEA told him. I'm sure what they told him is that they would charge any farmers growing it and sieze their property under current marijuana laws. He didn't want that kind of headache during an election year.

The DEA is sooo crooked.

Mark Emery is a hero of mine.
His motto is "Overgrow the govornment".
What if we did this. Seriously planted weed everywhere! Parks, medians, ditches, forests etc. Not neccessarily for cultivation, but to litteraly overgrow the govornments. Give them more than they can handle. Make them use all their resources picking wild weed patches with the hope that eventually they would have to face the fact that prohibition doesn't work and is a waste of time and tax dollars.
There are some logistics to work out ( we need billions of seeds) but I think this is a way everyone can get involved in the movement while maintaining annonymity.

[Myth1184]

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.

I agree with you guys so much about the legalization issue and I think it's great to see other people out there questioning the media and the neoliberal order. Yet you seem to have swallowed everything you've been told about foreign threats and your need for the ridiculously oversized US military.

You can clearly think, so apply some thinking to something apart from weed.

[Marijuanifornia]

The issue of cannabis legalization in the United States nearly encompasses the majority of the world's worst dilemmas. The Greenhouse Effect, war for oil, deforestation, environmental degradation, political corruption, overcrowded prisons, underfunded schools, the military-industrial complex and "Full Spectrum Dominance," etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

So many of our most serious problems stand to be helped or even solved by the legalization and popular production of cannabis. By focusing a great deal of energy to finally legalizing "Marihuana" again, we will consequently be addressing all of those other issues, as well.
