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:
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.
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.
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.

This is how we will win. All the information we need is here on the internet. We each have to do our part to bring this all into the mainstream. Share all you know and learn with everyone. If your online, visit random message boards and post something. We need to keep bringing all of this information to the non-smokers. 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.

Excellent info as usual.:thumbsup: I am doing what I can posting this stuff on other boards and paasing the info on to others.
Can you give me one simple link to download the "Hemp For Victory" video?:confused: I got a little confused trying to find a download link.
Thanks:thumbsup:
"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.

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:Quote:

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.
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
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.

This link wasn't working for a little while, but it seems fine now. At the bottom left you can download the film. No problems appear in this version, although it's not as refined as one could hope. Right click and save target as, and you should have yourself a copy of Hemp For Victory.
Do you want marijuana legalized again or not?
This is the plan used by our own government during WWII.
[align=center]Grow HEMP for the WAR.[/align]
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 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?
http://www.drugsense.org/wodclock.htm
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.
Grow HEMP for the WAR.

Great post, If I seriously knew how to take action I would, just dunno what to write, where to write, etc.
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.
Saved the bushes, hey? well if washington didnt smoke hemp, hed have no need to preserve the vast 'farmlands' of america, and you'd all be german.
Lol it only saved the Bush's economically. It never saved them spiritually or enlightened them.

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.
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.
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.
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:Quote:

No, thats just paranoia.
Please don't blame Marijuana for saving George Bush's life...:o
It was an accident!!:stoned:
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."
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..
