THANK YOU TIME MAGAZINE

[Tmar.aLL.DaYmar]

im kind of at a loss of words.. but ill try

well of course time magazine wont deal with hemp contractors. they want to remain a credible news source, and if they affiliate themselves with such a controversial substance then they wont be taken as seriously. it would be like using ink made out of cocaine or something,, it might work ok, but theyd get a bunch of shit for it.

and as for the first paragraph, i agree. america used to be alot more informed about the benefits of cannabis, but that was decades ago. all im saying is that finally, in this century, there is published recognition of cannabis' benefits.

gee whiz. Imagine having no one take you serious while you use things that make perfect sense. what was i thinkin? what a price to pay for doing the right thing. wowie. "They are a great bunch, They write good stories, they stick up for the medical marijuana user, they inform the public on things that the public should know, but...um.....we cant take them serious because of the paper they use. We're sorry. Wanna buy a comic book? " lmao.
peace,

all im saying is that any way you cut it, time posting that article was a good thing.

but your looking at the situation idealistically, and not realistically.

ignorant american 1: "did you hear that time magazine uses paper made out of weed instead of trees?"
ignorant american 2: "no way? im not going to support marijuana and drug use, this is the last time i subscribe to them."

and even if that werent an issue, does it really make that big of a difference what kind of paper they use? i mean im aware of the wonderful attributes that hemp material has, but i gotta say... honestly.. i dont care. im sure if a hemp company made a marketable offer, and a nice presentation on the benefits of hemp over trees, then they might switch, but chances are no such thing has taken place.

time cant address all cannabis issues at one time, because even though i love ganj, there are much more important things happening in the word and in the medical field for them to report on.

Well i think that an article posted in the time magazine can't do no harm, as a lot of "stick in the ass" dude will read this and consider it, but those stick in the ass dude are the one we need to influence because they usually have the money...or they will try to protect it...gees, i don't know what to think...Anyways, we'll see in time!
-Peace out

you had mention that you believe that i am being idealistic, and not realistic.
You suggest, or seem to suggest, that if a corporation/news magazine/ etc etc, were to use cannabis hemp as a source of paper that none, little to none would take them serious, stating such rhetoric like " i aint supporting no drugs at all", or something to that effect.
I would like to remind you, or to inform you, which ever it is, that all bibles up until the year 1900 were made of cannabis hemp paper. Now as i recall there was no problem among the population when it came to taking the bible seriously. I seem to be on the realistic side of this conversation. But what would you expect me to say? ;o)
Our flags were made of cannabis hemp and people take that seroius.
The word "Canvas" is actually an Arabic word, meaning cannabis hemp, and people take their canvas very serious.
Our military uses cannabis hemp in their shoes, boots and leather jackets, and people take the military serious.
Mercedes Benz , Toyota, and Chevy are incorporating cannabis hemp into their auots, and people take them serious.
I could go on and on, but with you being the realist here i think you get my point. With americans and others taking all of these examples of cannabis hemp being used in their everyday lives, why would time feel insecure about using it to print their magazine on? When compared to paper pulp from trees and paper pulp from cannabis hemp, cannabis hemp wins hands down in every category. Better to recycle. Easier to grow. Shorter growth time-table than trees, stronger, etc etc. It would be cost effecient for them to do so. Thats reality, not idealistic.

ok i take it back, your not viewing this idealistically, your viewing this as an extremely informed cannabis user, which is great, but your not making any effort to be objective.

your discrediting time because they dont use hemp instead of paper. thats like ignoring anyone who uses gasoline to fuel their cars instead of vegetable oil.

and like i said, the offer might never have even been presented to them.

#1. I never discredited Time.
#2. Time did nothing either great nor have they done what many other institutions/magazines, etc etc, have done in the past. I see no reason to praise them when in fact they know they could be doing more(if justice was their motivation in the medcan case). Let them be truthful and make changes that make a statement and then let the people decide, not fear.
#3. I wish Time the best, although i would never ever purchase one.
#4. I have been objective for decades.
#5. I have also been paying attention for decades.

peace,
