Subject: Introduction
Hello, and welcome to Kind Bud's Corner. On this sub we'll be
discussing the most versatile, profitable, and sustainable natural
resource on the planet...Hemp.
With well over 50,000 commercial uses, conservative estimates of its'
profit potential surpass $500 Billion per year. Industry experts project
a 12-fold (or greater) increase in hemp earnings, once the trade barriers
are removed and this valuable cash crop is, again, allowed to compete.
We'll examine the history of hemp, and it's many uses which include
paper(1 acre of hemp = 4.1 acres of trees for pulp), fiber (textiles),
food, fuel(bio-mass), cordage, plastics, fabrication ( including fiber-
board and other construction materials) medicine, and so forth...Anything
petroleum does, Hemp can do better!
We'll talk about the REAL reasons behind the hemp prohibition in 1937,
and what efforts are being made by the burgeoning H.E.M.P. Movement to
put an end to this insane and inhumane law. And, We'll look at what you
and I can do locally....
I want to hear what you're thinking (whether pro/con/indifferent). And
Questions...I like Questions.

Thanks for telling me about that meeting. Barring death I'll be there.
If anybody else want to go, and you live in Aurora, and want to ride with
me, let me know.
Now on to the subject...
The other day my son came home with a nice red ribbon that was insribed
"Drug Free and Proud". Now on the face of this it would seem like a good
thing. I would just a soon my kids don't get involved with drugs, and
stay away from beer and hemp till they are at least sisteen. Sill, I got
a very uneasy feeling in the pit of my gut.
The cops say (and we know they NEVER lie) that they are not telling kid to
turn their parents into the police. Myself, I think that is a bunch of
Bull Doody. Where would a ten year old kid get the idea to turnhis
parents into the state, if not from the nice officer Friendly of the
D.A.R.E. program?
I think I have a strong enough relationship with my kids that I don't have
to worry about them turning me in. But that dosn't stop the nagging worry
sitting in the back of my mind.
So, how do I as a parent, sit down my ten year old, a child who should
not have to worry about these things and explain to him the facts of life.
The goverment's ONLY concern is it's own preservation. The cops are not
really your friends. And in no case should he trust either one to tell
the truth.
I think that's a bit heavy for a kid his age. But now I am faced with
having to counter what he is being told in school. If I let it go I am
faced with the posibility of him turning me in, (reguardless of weither or
not I smoke hemp) or worse yet, the system turning him into another
trusting, unquestoning drone.
Putting aside the compairison to "1984", a more real life compairison
would be Germany in 1937. The schools there also encouraged children to
turn their parents into the state.

So very true. The cops don't have 'em wearing brown shirts,yet...but it
doesn't mean they wouldn't like to. My kids are all in college now, but
when they were younger, like yours, I had to maintain a sort of on-going
"de-programming" campaign to keep them from being brainwashed....They were
able to understand that their teachers weren't necessarily 'bad', just
ignorant....I don't think that Colorado had any D.A.R.E. programs then.
Just as an aside, the D.A.R.E. program is the brain child of L.A. Top Cop
Daryl Gates, who has recieved so much good press lately.
Colorado NORML and the Rocky Mtn Hemp Network are putting together a
program called Double-Dare where volunteer-parents are demanding equal
time in schools to talk paper-fiber-fuel-food-medicine, Bill of Rights,
etc....I'll be talking to them today and I'll try to get more info.

The Rocky Mountain Hemp Network is hosting a public seminar/discussion
group on Saturday, Nov 2 from 6 pm to 8 pm at 1090 S Wadsworth, suite F.
This group will continue to meet on the first Saturday of each month
there-after...
....also, Rocky Mountain Hemp Network is filing a class-action suit against
the State of Colorado for witholding medication. Colorado is one of
several states which recognize the thereaputic application of Cannabis.
Litigants will include sufferers of Glaucoma,Cancer,AIDS,MS,MD,
epilepsy,asthma,anorexia, et al....To qualify to participate in the law-
suit, one must have it in his medical records that an attempt has been
made to obtain cannabis through legal channels. At the present, all re-
quests from the states must go through the F.D.A. and then the D.E.A.
Currently, only thirty-seven people in the U.S. have a legal prescription
for the herb. Rocky Mountain Hemp has lined up nine litigants and is look-
ing for more. If you know someone who qualifies, have them call Connie
at 1-838-1235.

I don't agree with you, Kind Bud.
I don't see all the uses that you suggest. All I see is that people want
the option to smoke THC at any time and any place they wish.
Perhaps all those fabrics and fuels and such are possible, but I don't see
the supporters of Hemp legalization using it for that now. Most
supporters are private users of Hemp and they will not, in my option,
change. Legal or not.
Let it be said that I also don't support the rights of tobacco smokers. I
have learned that inhaling smoke of any kind is unhealthy and should not
be advocated.
I have also heard that the users of THC are more passive that other
people. That is fine for avoiding war; My concern is with the already low
nation production rate in the USA. Do we really need an entire work force
that is passive?
Sorry, but I won't be at any of your rallies.

I somewhat agree with you. I think some of the proposed uses for hemp are
a bit on the optomistic side. Things such as fuel are still pretty much
on the drawing board. And until hemp is legaized, they will stay there.
But many things such as food, fabric, paper, medicne, and building
materials are not only proven, but they were widely used until Herst and
his buddies hatched their scheme.
As far as paper..
One acre of hemp can produce as much paper as 4.3 acres of trees. That
acre of hemp can be replanted and renewed every year. In some areas of
the country it can be havested twice a year. That 4.3 acres of trees can
only be harvested every 15 to 30 years.
The only chem needed to make paper from hemp is Hyd-porxcide (however the
hell you spell it).
You don't even want to think abought what goes into wood paper.
Have you ever picked up a book that is 50+ years old and wondered why it's
in better shape than a book printed twenty years ago? It's because the
older book was printed before hemp was outlawed. The hemp paper is acid
free.
As far a THC users beind docile and worthless...
The most sucsessfull person I know smokes hemp. He prefers it to beer,
and uses it the same way a mature person uses beer.
He is anything but docile. In fact he has recived a number of awards for
exelence in his field. But none of this matters, because the instand it
were to become public that he smoked hemp, he would be labled a "usless,
lazy, no good pervert".

I subscribe to an unusual magazine based in San Diego called The Truth
Seeker (Box 2832, San Diego, CA 92112, $20/year). In the latest issue was
a good article by Howard Anshell called "Could One Plant Save the Earth".
Guess what it was about Nyuk Nyuk! Yuse guys are really getting around
Nyuk Nyuk! It said the original draft of the Declaration of Independence
was written on hemp paper, and still exists today.
Anyway, I've always believed that all drugs should be decriminalized, even
crack cocaine, as long as it's taxed and regulated like tobacco and
alcohol. But with the purported value of the hemp plant itself being held
back by the anti-drug laws, I gotta say I hope yuse guys keep working hard
and fight where it counts in the Congress and the Legislatures -- and win!
Maybe if decriminalization starts with this one little step, everybody can
see I've been right all along Nyuk Nyuk!
In the same mag. was a letter to the editor advocating that the government
establish "legal drug stores" which would sell seized drugs at cut rates
in direct competition to the street hoodlums...what do you think about
that, "Bud"?
"Bud?....Bud? Are you awake? What have you been smoking?..." Nyuk Nyuk!

You're more than welcome to disagree....however, there are NO studies
which indicate that hemp-smokers are any more or less passive or lazy than
any other group....and these days, the joint is not the point. Hemp can
produce approx. 50,000 commercial products that are practically pollution
free. According to the U.S.D.A., one acre of hemp equals 4.1 acres of
trees for the production of paper. Hemp paper is dioxine-free. Wood paper
making processes release sulfer into the atmosphere. Up until the mid-
19th century, ALL our paper was made from hemp...The first two copies of
the Declaration of Independence were made on hemp paper. We all know that
Geo. Washington and T. Jefferson grew hemp. Benj. Franklin started the
first hemp-paper mill in America. That way, we wouldn't have to justify
our
use of paper to England. Sailing ships in those days used from 60 to 100
tons of hemp per year. When England blockaded France, Napolean's first
move was to invade Russia (which supplied England with 90% of its' hemp)
in an effort to cut off England's hemp supply, thus crippling its' navy.
An American could pay his taxes with hemp until 1810. In the latter
1800's paper made from wood became the vogue, because at this time it was
more labor-effective than hemp. Clothing and other fibers still were made
from hemp. Canvas is the Dutch word for cannabis.
In the mid-1930's, something happened which got Big-Money worried. A
new machine was invented which would make the pulping of hemp very labor-
effective. This prompted Popular Mechanics to offer an article about hemp
calling it the New Billion Dollar crop. Also, Henry Ford was so convinced
that bio-mass was the ONLY way to go as far as fueling cars, he grew hemp
on his estate at Iron Mountain for that purpose..As a bio-mass crop, hemp
is superior to any including kenaf, corn, or sugar-cane all added in to-
gether! At this time William Raldolf Hearst and Kimberly Clarke owned
vast timber acreage. DuPont had just patented "nylon", the forerunner of
all poisonous plastics, and Big Oil didn't like the sound of this bio-
mass business. Fibers which had traditionally been made from hemp could
be made with plastics. Hemp can also be made into plastics, and,
according to Pop.Mech, it can be made into anything from cellophane to
dynamite. Hearst, the Melons and DuPonts held a series of "secret
meetings" with '30's drug czar Harry Anslinger and conspired to conduct a
smear campaign against hemp in an effort to whip the public into an anti-
hemp hysteria. But they did'nt call it hemp...everyone knew what hemp
was. Hearst news-papers were the first to call it 'marijuana' and made up
all manner of horror stories about it. Anslinger, in his testimony before
Congress, said that 'marijuana' was the most violence-inducing narcotic
known to man! Hearst papers told of how it was the drug of choice among
"mexicans, negros, and entertainers." This campaign was nothing less than
a pack of lies designed by the super-rich to rid themselves of their
number one competitor...HEMP. The law is called the Marijuana Tax Stamp
Act, but after that title, you'll never see the word "marijuana" used in
the bill again. It refers only to hemp...after the law was passed, the
medical profession wanted to know what happened to cannabis. Cannabis was
one of the most useful medicines known. They were not aware that
cannabis and "marijuana" were the same thing. 2.5 million people in this
country have glaucoma; 10,000 of them are going to lose their vision this
year...yet, only 37 people have a legal prescription for this useful herb,
which is proven to HALT the advance of glaucoma. It is also known to be
useful in treating epilepsy, MS, etc......more on this later.....I've run o
ut of time.

Part Two:
Cannabis has many therapeutical applications including glaucoma, MS,MD
asthma, anorexia, epilepsy, etc. The medical body of literature on the
topic is vast. The government is quite aware of this, yet still
classifies "marijuana" as a schedule one narcotic, meaning it has NO KNOWN
medical value. This is, of course, a lie. The gov't knows it's a lie, and
more importantly, the Big $$$$ who tell the gov't what to think know it is
a lie. They simply do not want the competition that hemp would bring into
the market place. When hemp is re-commercialized, it's not just going to
save the family farm....American farmers are going to PROSPER like they
never have in this century!
Since you have no plans to visit one of our meetings, you are really
unaware of what the hemp movement is doing as regards the
commercialization of legal hemp products....these products are how the
word is being spread....hemp clothing, hemp-seed oil products including
food, bio-mass products, etc. I recently helped Colorado bio-scientist
Agua Das set up Colorados first hemp-seed oil press and his products are
being stocked on shelves all over the state. You're not going to get much
of this info in the "News." I recently filmed a Hemp Rally in Madison,WI
where more than 20,000 hempsters attended. Did you hear anything about it
on the news back here? ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN were all aware of the event,
but didn't manage to mention anything about it. Why? Forty people can act
badly in front of an abortion clinic, and it's all over prime time TV.
20,000 people can petition the state for redress of grievances(i.e. re-
legalization of a plant that can save the environment and producea 500
Billion Dollar a year industry) and they go completly ignored. Is it
because it's not important? No. It's because people are scared. They
have a reason to be scared....what's being hyped as a War On Drugs is
really a war on you and me.

I'm with you all the way,Big Boy! Actually, I'm for freeing up any
commerce or interaction between consenting adults. That means everything.
The HEMP movement is such a useful tool in the over-all freedom movement
because its' position is unassailable.....paper,fiber,fuel,medicine...it's
all documented and cannot be disproved. The D E A quit debating hempster
about two years ago....The national
HEMP movement offers a $10,000 challenge to anyone who can prove their
position to be wrong. For me, the picture is like this:
The shit we each put up with everyday makes the McCarthy Era look like a
sitcom hoot. Property routinely confiscated without due process, cops
being able to do ANYTHING with impunity so long as they say they were
acting in good faith, people being led like sheep to go pee in little
bottles(you'd think the streets would be filled with folks screaming about
that one). Folks are living in a climate of fear and paranoia....some
people have been there so long, they don't even know they're scared.
We're losing our freedoms and if we don't start fighting for them now,
we probably won't have ANY in the coming century. And there ain't nobody
around to do it for us.

Before getting lost in the many industrial/commercial uses of hemp (50
000 is a LOT), let's look at some of the therapeutic uses of cannabis. My
special thanx to UCLA Pulmonary Studies, 1969-1991; UCLA asthma studies,
1969-1976; Cohen,Sidney,&Stillman,"Therapeutic Pontential of Marijuana
1976",Medical College of Georgia; University of North Carolina; National
Eye Institute;and very special thanx to Dr. Donald Tashkin of UCLA...
Asthma:
Smoking the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant would be beneficial for
80% of asthmatics. More than 15 million Americans are affected, and the
use of cannabis would add 30 to 60 million person-years in the aggregate
of extended life to current asthmatics in this country alone. The use of
cannabis for asthmatics goes back thousands of years in literature;
American doctors in the last century wrote about it in their medical
papers saying that "asthma sufferes of the world would *bless* the Indian
Hemp plant all their lives." In 1991, no American receives or uses
*legal* cannabis for asthma, although, according to Dr. Tashkin," Taking
a single hit of (cannabis) has been known to stop a full blown asthma
attack."
Glaucoma:
14% Of all blindness in the U.S. is from glaucoma. Smoking the leaves and
flowers of the hemp plant would benefit 90% of all 2.5 million American
glaucoma victims. Cannabis is 2-3 times as effective as any current
medicines for reducing ocular pressure....also, hemp use has no toxic side
effects to the liver/kidneys, and no occasional sudden-death syndromes
associated with the *legal* pharmaceutical glaucoma drugs. Eye doctors
often advise their glaucoma patients to by illegal black-market street pot
to mitigate their toxic *legal* glaucoma medicines. At the current black-
market prices of $400+ per oz. this is quite a drain on their pocket book,
not to mention living in fear because of their "criminal" activity. When
the 1937 Marijuana Tax Stamp Act was passed, one ounce of cannabis was
available from the local drugstore for one dollar (!)...in 1991, only 37
Americans have a legal prescription for cannabis. In the Spring of this
year George Bush declared that no more prescriptions would be issued,
because they don't want to "send the wrong message about marijuana." In
1988 the DEA's own conservative administrative law judge, Francis Young,
after hearing 15 days of medical testimony, and reviewing hundreds of DEA
documents declared,"Marijuana is one of the safest therapeutically active
substances known to man." Oddly, the DEA continues to list marijuana as
a Schedule One narcotic:As having no known medical use. According to
NORML, High Times, and OMNI: Eli Lilly Co; Abbott Labs; Pfizer; Smith,
Kline & French; and other pharmaceutical companies would lose billions of
dollars annually if hemp were legal in the U.S., and even more billions in
the Third World. (Some 500,000 people are poisoned each year in Third
World countries by drugs, pesticides, etc that are sold to them by
American companies, but which are banned for sale in the U.S.) It was
because of lobbying by the pharmaceutical companies that cannabis research
has been banned by the Feds since 1977 (Ford Administration.) The Reagan/
Bush/Quale boys are absolutey refusing to allow resumption of University
marijuana research, and, in fact, sent out a "feeler" in the early '80's
to Universities suggesting that they DESTROY all their findings from
previous hemp research. Thankfully, many declined. Some of the
University studies suggested that cannabis could replace 50% of Valium,
Librium, Thrazine(and other 'zine drugs. (According to the U.S. Center for
Disease Control in Atlanta 20% - 40% of "-zine" drug users have or will
develop permanent lifetime palsies (shakes).)
In all of this, it's interesting to note that when George Bush left
the CIA in 1977, he was appointed director of Eli Lilly by none other than
Dan Quayle's father.
Odd, that.

He said that you can use the leagal stuff, but it's pretty expencive, and
God only knows what they used to rice out the THC. Best to just get it

According to Dr. Thomas Ungerleider, head of California's Marijuana for
Cancer Research Project from 1979-1984:"Marijuana is the best agent for
control of nausea in cancer chemotherapy." The same is being found by
those who are undergoing ADZ therapy for AIDS. One AIDS patient said it
best,"Marijuana makes the difference between LIVING with AIDS and DYING
of AIDS." Still, only 37 Americans have a *legal* prescription for a
plant which grows wild. In effect, the government is saying to these
people,"F*ck you. It's better that you go blind, better that you die in
agony, wrapped around a toilet everyday, than for us to change a law which
was based on a Big Lie, anyway."
Marijuana is also proven to help 60%-80% of those who suffer from epilepsy,
MS,MD, and other tremor-related diseases(like Parkinsons).
In 1975 the D E A and the Nat'l Health Instute directed the Medical
College of Virginia to conduct studies on the smoking of the herb in hopes
of finding possible immunicological problems associated with marijuana.
Instead, researchers were surprised to find that the herb was incredibly
successful in reducing many malignant and benign tumors! A dissapointed
D E A then issued orders to CEASE all further cannabis/tumor research
and reporting.
Hemp plants also provide extractions called cannabidiolic acids.
These acids are a natual antibiotic that can be used to treat a variety
of ailments(indluding gonorrhea, etc). According to Czechoslovakian
Studies, any disease or infection that can be treated with terramycin,
cannabis derivatives will do better. Thankfully, the Czechs still
publish farm crop reports on strategies to grow Cannabidiol-rich hemp.
The medicinal uses of this natural herb go on and on(arthritis,rheumatism,
blood pressure,emphysema,migraines, stress, anorexia, etc.) We have
been robbed of fifty years worth of real medical research, as well as
research&developement as regards paper,bio-mass fuel, textiles,plastics,
food, and on and on and on....
This is OUR plant, and it's time we take it back!

I do remember studies that showed THC affected short term memory in an
adverse way. This equates, to me, a lower function level.
As far as the media's bias, I have seen reports of the Hemp movement.
I believe I watched NBC report on a rally in California, and I think the
wire services also carry the reports. There was an article in Time not
too long ago and I believe the Rocky Mountain News covered it too.
I just don't want to see another mind altering drug legalized in the
USA. We have enough of a problem with alcohol and Nicotine. I work in a
Halfway House and I see the result of misuse. We have men and women who
did nothing more that misuse alcohol, and not they are doing time for
killing someone. Without the drug use, they would have been in control of
their vehicle and lives would have been saved. Why give more people more
opprotunity to use and misuse more drugs??

Dear Mr. Bud:
May I call you Kind? I should like to respectfully disagree with
everything you've said thus far. And just because you can back up your
points with documented fact doesn't mean that I'm going to alter my
opinions one iota. Likewise, just because the biased government-sponsored
studies have been exposed as so much horse hocky doesn't mean I won't
continue to believe them. My mind is quite firmly made up, and regardless
of how many lives might be saved, or what benefit hemp would be to the
environment, I, like Comatose Thanatos, will not be found at any of your
rallies.
But seriously, folks, I'm glad to see this topic being explored
intelligently. And, while I would welcome hemp's legalization, it would
seem to be an extreme long shot. Do you really think they're going to
repeal the marijuana laws in our lifetime?

...uhhh...errr...what was I going to?....OH! Yeah, right....like,uh..
Short Term Memory ....uh....Loss, Yeah...Right...OK!...
I believe you are referring to conclusions drawn from the Heath/Tulane
University studies in 1974. The short-term memory loss allegations stem
from those studies, and a lot of other erroneous bullsh*t as well...
The Official Version goes like this: An impartial Dr. Heath concluded that
Rhesus monkeys, smoking the equivalent of "only" 30 joints a day began to
atrophy and die after 90 days. He then opened the brains and counted the
brain cells; next, he took control monkeys who hadn't smoked, killed them,
and counted their brain cells. The pot smoking monkeys had enormous
amounts of dead brain cells as compared to the "straight" monkeys. This
prompted Reagan to say"The *most reliable scientific* sources say
permanent brain damage is one of the inevitable results of the use of
marijuana!".....Now, as Paul Harvey would say, the rest of the story:
It took Playboy Press/NORML six years of suing under the Freedom of
Information Act to finally get an accurate accounting of the research
proceedures used in the experiment: The monkeys were strapped into chairs
and then strapped into gas-masks and given the equivalent of 63 Columbian
strength joints in five minutes thru the gas-masks, with no smoke
escaping. In other words, they were suffocating. Carbon Monoxide (given
off by any burning object) is a deadly gas that kills brain cells. The
Heath/Tulane report is a study in animal asphyxiation, carbon monoxide
poisoning, and human cruelty. You could achieve the same results if you
locked yourself in your garage and ran your car for 15 minutes every
day. I can only speak from personal experience...When I returned from my
four-year, government sponsored, all-expense paid vacation in Southeast
Asia in the early '70's, I was quite familiar with the herb. I enjoyed it
just about every day. I returned to college and finished with a straight-A
average, and didn't find it much of a challenge at all. This, while
working full time and supporting a family. I now own my own business,
have three kid in college, and am still married to the same woman I
started out with. I don't think this indicates brain damage....(well,
except the part about being married.) When my personal experience flows
contrary to Consensus Reality, I'll stick with my personal experience,
thankyou. Any caring adult is going to feel badly about the tragedy you
have to deal with every day, but the fact is, those poor souls each made
an error in judgement. And, to be blunt, if they had stayed at home and
smoked a joint, instead of going out and driving like drunk maniacs, lives
would have been saved and they wouldn't be in a half-way house. Fact is,
the hysteria that passes for a drug policy has f*cked up more people than
all the half-way house denizens put together. the United States has a
larger percentage of its' citizens in prison than ANY other country in the
world. #2 is South Africa. Do you think that means the U.S. has a higher
percentage of Bad Guys than any other country? I don't think so, yet Bush
wants to build more and more prisons.
As far as the media is concerned....the press can't completely ignore
what is becoming the biggest movement of the decade. I didn't say that.
I just find it odd that they ignored the Madison rally where 20,000 people
protested the insane drug laws. We have to remember, Than, that many of
the largest publishers have direct holdings in timberland for paper, and
the pharmaceutical drug, petrochemical companies, etc. are among the
media's major advertisers. It's the Golden Rule: whoever has the Gold
makes the Rules.
Hemp for paper/bio-mass fuel has been rather successful in Europe for
several years, now. (Funny that Kimberly Clarke is so involved there,
since they were behind hemp prohibition in this country in the '30's.)
It may comfort you to know, Thanny, that the particular strains of hemp
being grown there make for lousy smoking. Business Alliance for Commerce
in Hemp recently sent a delegation over there to study the farming methods,
pulping proceedures, etc. A couple of their less intrepid delegates
bravely volunteered to sample some of the flowers/leaves. The only result
they reported was "a mild, but annoying head-ache."
It's not a matter of IF hemp will be re-legalized, but when, and which
state will be the first. A 500 Billion dollar a year industry cannot be
ignored, especially with the state of our economy. The current illicit
revenues from hemp (black-market) are about 45-60 Billion annually. This
is ridiculous because 1. Our farmers are not getting any of this cash, and
2. The leaves and flowers are
....The...Least...Valuable...Part...Of...this...Plant!

In addition to the tree-industry folks, there's also the petrochemical

Yesterday I talked with John Birenbach of the Instute for Hemp in St.Paul.
He told me that Kimberly Clark is involved in the hemp industry in France,
but it took him a month of phone calls to Kimberly Clark before he found
a company spokesperson who was even aware of it....(they're doing it thru
a subsidiary with a different name.) We're also dealing with 50 years of
public brainwashing....we've been told over and over that hemp(marijuana)
is very,very evil....It's going to take a complete re-education of the
public before any major company is going to come out as publically in
favor of re-legalization. Although this information has been around in
bits and pieces for quite some time, it's just recently that it's been put
together in a complete package....the concept is new. The Wall St.
Journal ran a front page story on hemp in May..."What Is as Versatile as
the Soybean But Illegal Anyway?" In June Pulp & Paper magazine's tech-
nical editor wrote an article:"It's Time to Reconsider Hemp." Both these
articles are a major step forward for hemp...it's a battle for peoples'
minds and it's going to take a while....but it seems like everywhere you
turn, hemp information is popping up! Right now it's a grass-roots(nyuk?)
effort. Last year there were about 3-4 suppliers of legal hemp products
in the U S and now there's over 20. The Institute for Hemp has obtained
the necessary permits from the Minnesota Dept. of Agriculture to grow
100 acres of hemp in 1992. Rocky Mtn Hemp is opening a Hempwear, etc
store in a mall at 1090 S. Wadsworth. Willie Nelson has started his own
line of Hemp Clothing and has plans to preach hemp at his next Farm-Aid
concert this month. I think we're at the begining of something very big,

I don't think "THEY" are ready to legalize it, yet. But then, THEY don't
have to. WE can legalize it OURSELVES.
How? Colorado, like about 25 other states, has a Citizens Initiative
Process. This means that Colorado citizens have equal power with thier
legislators to enact laws...and,because our population is so small, we
only need 50,000 valid signatures of registered voters by August '92 to
get it on the November ballot. A Newscenter-4 poll about a month ago
showed that 55% of Coloradoans are in favor of re-legalization of hemp
right now....and that's without knowing about paper-fiber-fuel-food-
non-toxic paints & varnish-medicine. etc! It's up to us to get the word
out...it's not going to be easy, but, at least for now, we've got a better
shot than any other state. California is going to run a hemp-initiative in
'92 also, but they've got to get almost 400,000 signatures (meaning more
that 700,000 just to get a "good" 400,000.....quite a chore....we've got
to get 75,000 sigs to get a 'good' 50,000. I think we can get that done,
and once we do, the entire nation is going to be watching us in November
to see what we do.

would make hemp legalization impossible to stop if there were that big an

1. Who gets to set up the wordingon the actual ballot. We all no how the
summery on the ballot can be misleading. So is there any chance of it
being worded "should it be legal for dope heads to smoke pot and kill our
dogs?" or something to that effect?
2. What abought the people in prison for hemp related political crimes?
Will they be released?
3. Will money and property taken by the government under RICO beacuse the
rightful owner had a three year old copy of "High Times" have to be
returned.
4. What abought the federal laws? Will the feds still be able to throw

It is very difficult to controld from a central location. This makes it
hard for the giant multi-nationals to sell it.
Why would a glocoma (prob spelled wrong) sufferer want to pay $15-$20 a
day for something that they could grow in their back yard?
How is giant tree farmer going to sell his product when hemp is more
easily grown on a small scale?
The bottom line is that 500 billion a year won't be made by the giant
corporations, but by the little farmer who gets back on his feet, the sick
people who save money on their medicine, in general the little guy.
So it is easy to see why the fat-cats are fighting it tooth and nail.

I'll check on the wording of the ballot initiative today. The long
version will go something like this...
An Act To Amend The Health and Safety Code of Colorado
I. Add Section #________ to the Health and Safety Code of Colorado any
laws or policies to the contrary not withstanding:
(1) Persons, 18 years or older, shall not be prosecuted, be denied any
right or privilege, nor be subject to criminal or civil penalties for
the cultivation, transportation, distribution, or consumption of:
(a) Industrial hemp products. Hemp farmers and manufacturers of
industrial hemp products shall not be subject to any special zoning
or licensing fees that are discriminatory or prohibitive.
(b) Hemp medicinal preparations.
(c) Hemp products for nutritional use.
(d) Hemp products for personal use. No permit or license may be
required for non-commercial cultivation, transportation,
distribution, or consumption of any hemp product.
There are then 10 paragraphs and sub paragraphs dealing with definitions
and taxation methods. One deals with retroactive amnesties and clearing
of criminal records.....then it goes on:
IV. No Colorado law enforcement personnel or funds shall be used to
assist enforcement of federal cannabis/marijuana laws governing
cannabis/marijuana related acts which are no longer illegal in the
state of Colorado.
V. The legislature, the Govenor, and the Attorney General are directed
to challenge federal cannabis/marijuana prohibitions which conflict
with this act.
VIII.Within 120 days following the passage of this act the legislature
shall fund, from law enforcement savings hereby generated, an
advisory panel to study the feasibility and methods of making
restitution to all persons who were imprisoned, fined or had private
properties forfeited as a result of criminal or civil actions for
cannabis/marijuana related acts which are hereby no longer illegal.
....
It then goes on to explain how the monies for restitution are to be
obtained from new tax revenues on hemp, etc.
This will only be a state law, and will not stop the feds...federal
law will have to be changed, also. But it's a giant step forward.

HAPT (Hazardous Pursuit Terminator)
A police officer is beginning to chase a suspect though a populated
neighborhood. The officer noticed the suspect speeding, ran a check on the
license number and found that the driver was wanted as a fugitive in a
bank robbery. After the officer turns on the flashers, the suspect speeds
up to 70 mph in a 25 mph zone! There are people around and someone could
get killed. The officer makes a decision that it's time to turn on HAPT.
She opens a console on the dash board and pushes a button, then moves the
joystick inside the console so that a red dot touches the back of the
vehicle she is chasing. She pushes the button again and a voice from the
box says; "Fire control system locked on target". Suddenly, all four tires
of the suspect's car are shot from beneath it, almost simultaneously! She
screeches to a stop and jumps from the car, shotgun in hand. The suspect
is stunned and easily captured. Science Fiction, or Science Fact? This
system can be developed for police departments all over the country, and
save many innocent lives each year, lost because of hazardous pursuits.
Funding is needed to develop the HAPT device. Write your representatives now!

Greed (in the *best* sense of the word) IS making hemp re-legalization
impossible to stop. It's re-legalization is inevitable because of the
profit-potential. There's no shortage of investors waiting in the wings.
The problem is that it's ILLEGAL now. When it's re-legalized, then we'll
also see the more famous big-money people jumping on the band wagon and
probably pretending it was their idea. Kimberly-Clark is active in hemp
production in Europe. Levi's Corp is looking at hemp for their jeans,
which used to be made from hemp. The Big Oil and Pharmaceutical Guys
are going to protect their investments and infrastructure as long as they
can. They already are aware of the threat hemp poses to them and will
continue to fight against it. Hemp will do nothing for Oil and
Pharmaceuticals except eat into their market share.
For other companies which aren't into Oil and Pharmaceuticals, being
in the forefront of this movement is not attractive because it is anathama
in the eye of the public. The public has to be made aware of the truth
about hemps' usefulness before it is acceptable. The hemp movement is
about education...it is old information put into a new integrated
awareness. A hemp economy will resemble Toffler's third wave of a
decentralized global community. The $500 billion figure is an estimate
from the Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp's studies into the use
of hemp for 50,000 existing commercial products. I don't find the figure
to be offensive, but if it bothers you, then substitute a figure you're
more comfortable with. It won't change the importance of the hemp info

Subject: What's a FIJA?
FIJA stands for the Fully Informed Jury Alliance. This is a national
organization started by a couple of freedom minded patriots in Montana, of
all places. It's purpose is, ostensibly, to get laws passed in each state
requiring judges to inform juries of their right to practice what is known
as "Jury Nullification." I say 'ostensibly' because I think their real
purpose is to educate the public of the fact that we all have the right to
nullify law when we sit on a jury. Jury nullification means that when you
sit on a jury, you're not only judging the guilt or innocence of the
accused, you're also judging the law which the accused is charged with
breaking. If you think the law is a bad one, or if you think that it is a
good law being misapplied, then you have the right (and obligation) to
vote for an acquital regardless of the facts of the case (even if the
accused was caught "red-handed"). The right of jury-nullification goes
back to the days of the Magna-Carta and has been traditionally practiced
in this country. It is the ultimate of our checks and balances to keep an
oppressive gov't from passing laws of which we disapprove. In American
case law (Georgia v. Brailsford 1794) the concept was codified by Chief
Justice John Jay. So how come we haven't heard about it lately? Because in
1964 (in a case involving draft-card burning as protest to the Viet Nam
war) the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that jurors were no longer to be
informed of this right by any officer of the court(including both
prosecuting and defense attorneys.) We still have the right of
nullification....it's just that the court doesn't have to tell us about it
during the course of a trial, anymore.
So what? So this. If called to be a juror, you won't have to send anyone
to jail for violating hemp laws! (or any other law with which you
disagree.) All it takes is one juror to hang a jury. In fact, during the
last four yeats of alcohol prohibition, half of all such trials ended in
acquitals or hung juries due to juries excercising their right of jury
nullification. This helped bring alcohol prohibition to a grinding halt.
We must send the same signal about hemp-prohibition. Refuse to send your
bro's and sis's to jail! Right now, in Kentucky (traditionally a hemp-
growing state) somewhere between one-third to one-half of hemp cultivation
cases being brought to trial do not end in convictions because of jury
nullification!
We may be in a police-state now, with the Bill of Rights being
destroyed through Drug-War hysteria, but we still have enough of the tools
of freedom left to fight back and win this thing. And we have to win. The
quality of life for us and our kids depends on our victory.

I want to make it clear that when a jury nullifies a law, that law is not
wiped off the books....it is nullified only in the particular case on
trial. Also, often these days, a judge will charge a jury to judge only
the facts of a case. I think some judges do this from ignorance of the
jury-nullification concept. I think most judges, however, are just plain
lying.

Oh!.....I get it.
I've been puzzling about why some folks have a hard time with the
potential high-buck projections (such as the $500 billion I mentioned a
few msgs back) concerning hemp. Big Boy isn't the only one with a "?" over
his head. I assume no one will object if I try to clear this up....
If the Hemp-fairy waved its wand tonight and hemp was completely legal
tomorrow for all its applications, we would not have an instant "new" $500
billion to play with. This high figure is based on the Replacement of
an entire fossil-fuel industry, the *replacement* of and industry based on
wood-for-paper, the replacement of most wood for construction, the
replacement of about 50% of the pharmaceuticals presently on the market,
the replacement of cotton, plastic, toxic paints and varnishes, and on and
on. It would mean the replacement of the synthetic with the natural, and
the replacement of our present way of thinking. It would call for, what
amounts to, a Hemp-based economy. Unrealistic? It all depends on your
point of view. My point of view is: It's unrealistic to continue
depending on fossil-fuels when industry studies project that 80% of our
oil reserves will be used up by the turn of the century; it's unrealistic
to continue the planned de-forestation of the planet and all that ensues.
I think it's unrealistic to continue to crank out non-biodegradable
plastics and other poisons. Unrealistic to expect farmers to suffer and
atrophy on $150-$200 per acre crops, when hemp could bring them $400-
$600 per acre today. Unrealistic to have an economy based on anything
other than sustainable-renewable-agricultural products. Look at the box
that holds your CRT, your CPU, and look at your keyboard....everything you
see there(except the CRT) could be made with Hemp grown by an American
farmer! We have to change the way we think in order to survive. And I'm
no gloomy doomsayer....We will survive.

So, Kind Bud, you're saying that the hemp industry will supersede current
industries, not add an extra $500B/year to the GNP. Plausible, but I'm still
skeptical, because there's plenty of other nations on the globe that don't
have any trees or oil, and if all they had to do was grow hemp to make
themselves economically self-sufficient, what's holding them back? They
sure grow a lot of hemp for personal "pleasure" Nyuk Nyuk!
Is all of the $500B/year a replacement figure, or is there some new GNP to
be generated from unique products, and if so, what is that figure?

The Foad speaks well. Many countries are currently bound by U.N. Single
Convention on Narcotic Drugs of March 30,1961-International Treaty on
'Marijuana' Production & Law. This was pushed through the U.N. by the
U.S. and maintains the fiction that 'Marijuana' is a Schedule One Narcotic,
meaning it has NO KNOWN medicinal value. Since that time the U.S. has
"paid" many third world countries to abide by this treaty and criminalize
the commercial production of hemp. Singapore used to produce extremely
fine hemp-cloth, but at the behest of our govt made its' cultivation a
capital offense in 1971. But it would be a mistake to think that other
countries are not jumping on the hemp bandwagon. Italy, France, Spain,
Denmark, Holland, and China are currently producing hemp for paper, bio-
mass and textiles. Kimberly Clark is involved in France's hemp-pulp
industry. The industry is new(at least in Europe) but it must be making
sense to somebody. Last April, Russia sent an agricultural delegation
to Minnesota to meet with John Birenbach of the institute for hemp. Their
purpose was to re-learn hemp cultivation and processing proceedures. I
say "re-learn" because Russia was a leading producer of hemp back in the
19th century. Russia is getting back into hemp production and they are
dead-nuts serious.
As to the $500B/yr, no it is not all a replacement figure. There would
be immediate increase in GNP with the introduction of hemp cultivation/
production and serveral thousand new jobs. As to the exact amount, I
do not have that info....but I know who might:

Here's a few things each of us can do:
1. Learn the facts. Any of the organizations I've posted will be more
than happy to help you learn about hemp. "The Emperor Wears No
Clothes" by Jack Herer is an excellent source book. B.A.C.H has a lot
of practical info for getting into the legal hemp business.
2. Talk about hemp to friends, family, co-workers and everybody. Never
get tired and never be ashamed. Just say you think hemp should be
made legal again. You'll be amazed at how many agree. Talk about
medical marijuana, free choice and non-smoking commercial hemp(rope,
paper, fabric, fuel, oil, food, etc.) Be proud of what you believe!
This is America. Remember, you're in good company: Both Washington
and Jefferson were hemp farmers. Pretend the entire movement rests
on your shoulders. Never get tired of talking about hemp.
3. Photocopy literature to pass out and send with your letters. Rubber
Stamps are available for your envelopes.
4. Write letters to your elected officials, newspapers, magazines, TV&
radio stations. Be brief and clear. I'll be posting some "sample"
letters soon.
5. Help out a local group. Attend meetings. Make phone calls, do office
work, fold and mail literature, etc. Offer your special skills (like
data entry, research, speaking, art, organizing, copying, etc).
6. Donate money to local groups. Contribute SUPPLIES or postage! All
groups need access to free or cheap printing services. Donate books
and magazines subscriptions to schools and libraries. Later on in
the Spring, we'll be needing Billboard space, etc.
7. Never let a lie (marijuana causes brain-damage, etc) to go by. Stand
up and correct people when they speak ill of this plant.
8. Register to vote! You have to be a registered voter to sign the
Hemp Initiative petition. Voting also gets you on the prospective
jurors list and may afford you an opportunity to excerice the right
of jury-nullification in a hemp-law case. We have the power to STOP
sending good people to jail!
9. Stay positive and be happy! We live in exciting times. Great things
are afoot! You have an opportunity to live the patriotic rhetoric
we've all grown up with. Use the method of CONVERSION rather than
confrontation. Trust that people are capable of making the right
decision when given all the information. 55% of Coloradoans are in
favor of re-legalizaton NOW! It's up to us to educate the public
about medicine/paper/fiber/fuel/food/non-toxic paints and varnishes,
etc. Once this information is learned, it cannot be ignored. (there
are only two types of people who can ignore hemp: the hoplessly
ignorant and the politically corrupt!) 1992 is going to be a fun
and exciting year!

I'm TRULY glad to see a forum of this type. I've been advocating the
legalization of hemp for years and years. When you consider how addictive
nicotine is (and destructive), it almost makes me ashamed to call myself
an American. Here we have so many other legal chemicals that cause lung
cancer, liver damage, etc., yet a harmless substance like hemp is stuck in
the same "tarnished" corner as coke, crack, heroin, et all.
However, despite the recent decade of conservative rulings, I see (and
hear) more and more people beginning to see the hypocracy of such laws.
I'm working every avenue that I can to help with the legalization and
taxation of hemp, from discussions with friends and coworkers, to letters
to state and federal legislators. I will not stop!
The savings and benefits of legalized hemp are enormous. The first (and
obvious) savings are the elimination of the so-called "drug war", which
would allow budget funds to be used for more important social issues.
Taxing hemp might prove to be lucrative enough to help destroy our
staggering deficit. Ah, the ramifications boggle the mind.
Anyway, enough flogging on my part. Thanks for cluing me into this

I was watching Heraldo's "Now it Can be Told' the other night. Not the
most reliable Journalist, but he hit on a real interesting area.
A few years back, when drugs started causing trains to run into each other,
and planes started falling out of the sky, sometimes before, some times
after running into other planes, the FAA and DOT both losened up the rest
requiremnetsents for the operationrs of these vehicles.
It used to be that piolots and other operators were required to have a
minimum of eight hours rest between shifts and shift lengths /, and
varried, depending on the job.
Now, they are only required to have SIX hours between shifts. I don't
know if there is any limit on the length of the shift. A lot of these
people that were supposrdly on drugs at the time of the accident had been
working for thirteen or more hours, often with no break.
Both the FAA and the DOT refuse to acknowledge the posibilty that fatigue
could be causing these accidents.
Perhaps the we shouldn't be so worried about wether or not the pilot was
blowing a dobbie last night, but wether or not the airlines let him get any
sleep last night.

Hi, you Nasty Bitch, you. Welcome to this part of the board. Hemp is a
fiber yielding plant which has been cultivated for 12,000 years. These
days it's more popularly known as marijuana, a term coined by the Hearst
newspapers during the smear campaign of the 30's. It can be made into just
about any kind of cloth from the coarsest canvas (the Dutch word for
cannabis) to elegant silk-like materials. The famous old Irish linens were
originally made from hemp. The original long-lasting Levi's jeans were
made from hemp. Unlike cotton, on which 50% of our agricultural
pesticides/herbicides are used, hemp requires no such poisons. Hemp can be
made into long-lasting paper so we can save our forests. Hemp can be made
into fuel for energy to run our cars/homes/factories. It will yield from
20-60 barrels methanol fuel per acre, making it the #1 bio-mass source.
The Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp estimates that it can provide
90% of our energy. We don't need nuclear power and we don't have to go to
war in the Gulf again. Hemp, as medicine, has hundreds of uses. It is
saving thousands of lives. Chemo-therapy and AIDS therapy produce what is
called a "Wasting Syndrom"....patients lose their appetite and are plagued
by a terrible nausea which hinders the use of oral medications. Smoking
the leaves and flowers of the hemp plant stops the nausea, revives their
appetite and lets them live. 10,000 glaucoma sufferers can save their
vision by smoking hemp(10,000 per year in this country alone.) Hemp seeds
yield cheap and plentiful food-stuffs, more versatile than the soybean. It
can cheaply and quickly feed the starving people of this country and the
third world. Not ten years from now. This could be a reality in less than
a year, after hemp is relegalized. Anything petroleum makes, can be made
from hemp. It can be made into plastic, etc. It can be made into
fiberboard and other construction materials. With a profit potential of
$500-$700 (or higher) per acre, it will save family farms. I believe our
success in the coming century depends on our stewardship and utilization
of this God-given miracle plant.
I have also heard that smoking the leaves and flowers of this plant
produces a mild-but-enjoyable relaxing effect.

Let's all (both of us) make time to leave hemp msgs/info over there for

important....patriotic hempsters all over this great land can communicate
with each other quickly and exchange ideas, schedules, who's in jail, who
needs bail-money, who's going to be where, etc. It's also a quick way to

A friend of mine in local broadcasting told me of a recent AP newservice
wire he recently saw. In W. Palm Beach FLA Fed Judge James C. Paine called
for re-legalization of cannabis and other substances in his address to the
Federal Bar Assn (I'm guessing the Fed Bar is for Fed Judges...not to be
confused with the A B A.) He drew parallels between the current
prohibition and the old Alcohol Prohibition, and said:"Trying to wage war
on 23 million Americans who are obviously very committed to certain
recreational activities is not working." The report said that other judges
in attendance were "intrigued" by the concept. In 1988 DEA Administrative
Law Judge Francis L. Young recommended that marijuana be reclassified as a
Schedule II drug:"Based upon the facts established in this record and set
out above, one must reasonably conclude that there is accepted safety for
use of marijuana...To conclude otherwise, on this record, would be
unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious..."
Slowly, but surely.

problem lies with the law and not the police. My attitude is probably
biased in that a very close friend is an officer. I would not trade
places with him for anything due to the nature of his job. I do respect
him and the other officers I have met personally. Please do not take this
as an all encompassing endorsement for all officers. There are bad apples

I got a private message t'other day by user Andy Weiss, I think he really
wanted it to go in this sub, so I'm quoting it in full.
He must have just read the One Plant article off the Bulletin menu.
Very interesting argument. Here are some counter facts. The rain forests
are being demolished for grazing land for cattle not paper production.
Increased CO2 follows global warming, it isn't a cause this is a
documented fact I just read in this months edition of either Scientific
American or Discover. As far as relief goes for medical conditions I'd
rather be cured, not temporarially relieved. Didn't China use opium for
relief in the 1800's as it was heading to be a world power and ended up a
third world pit with a majority of it population laying in opium dens?
Yes, I do know pot isn't nearly as addictive as opium, but the similiarity
is there.
Hemp would make great jeans, shirts, jackets, or whatever. I'd gladly
pay less for a pair of jeans that lasted much longer than cotton while
being just as comfortable if not more comfortable.
Poeple who are against drugs see your argument as a little step in the
legalization of pot because they believe that members of NORML want to be
able to smoke some thunder fuck or skunk weed without the threat of jail a
lot more than they're interested in glaucoma or cancer patients. And
legalizing pot is just a step in the legalization of all drugs. That's
what some people believe and they are as scared of drugs as they are of
change be it for the better or worse.
The government falls under this catagory. I heard about how we paid
the Chinese gov't to destroy some of their large hemp fields and in the
process 3 species of birds that needed the large hemp fields to live were
exterminated. I have friends who like to smoke pot and I've heard all the
pro's, a lot more than the ones you've listed, and I've also heard the
con's. One of my friends who really likes it thinks that its being
illegal is good. He's knows too many people who, once they get some can't
help themselves, they just sit there and smoke it till it's gone.
I know a nurse who says she'd smoke it if it was legal but being
professional and a member of a medical clinic, it would look real bad if
she got busted, won't. bou has she got some stories of the days before
she became professional. and the pictures of her fields too boot
..
I also know that there is much less violence as concerts when pot is
plentyfull in the county as there is when pot is scarce.
One of my friends who likes to smoke it tells me that he'll never go to
a hemp rally. I don't know about the ones out here in Colorado, but the
ones in Michigan are attended by 14 year olds in heavy metal t-shirts,
60's rejects and 60's wanna-bee's (his words). He says they hurt the
cause more than they help it. Then a picture of the worst looking ones
end up in the news paper to further convince every one else the pot
destroys lives.
It may sound like I've gone about a 180 degree turnabout, or was it 270
, either way I don't think NORML is going to mke a difference, especially
with all the bad publicity that crack and gang violence is giving drugs
even though crack is in no way similiar to pot.
Is NORML trying to grow hemp for industry. The way I see it NORML
isn't doing anything. It wants to legalize high THC pot. It's fighting
big government and I don't think it has any chance of winning. Why
doesn't it propose to grow low THC hemp in a prototype industry and
produce some tough, cheap, comfortable cloth; oil; and food?
I've rambled on long enough. I'll go browse the adult section and get
aroused.

Ah, new blood.
I'm glad you are bothered by my attitude twards the police. I'm bothered
by it too. I SHOULD not have that attitude. But we line in a country
were not having that attitude has proven leathal to many.
As far as the D.A.R.E. program, the officers flat out lie to the children,
and they use their postion of authority to convince children to search
their homes and turn their parents in if they find anything.
Officers regularly take the possession of private citizens without
So much as even filing charges.
I could go on and on, but that would be pointless. I still stand by my
belief that anybody who trusts a cop is a fool.
As far a having friends that are cops..
I have many friends that are cops, I also have many friends, that like
myself, didn't like the direction things are going, so they quit being
cops.
Did you know that there were eight bank robberies in the Denver area last
week? The reason nobody hears about them is the cops on't give a diddly
about them. What counts is taking the most property, and putting the most
"junkies" in jail.
In a survey taken a few months ago of children who had compleated the
D.A.R.E. programing, there was a question about the job of the police
officer.
"What is the job of a police officer
(A) To arrest people who break the law
(B) To protect people
87 percent of the children answered "A".
Mabye it's just a matter of semantics. But it scares the hell outa me.

Hi, Andy...welcome to the discussion. You've raised some interesting
points, and I'd like to jump in and address them, if I may...
|Rain forests are being demolished for grazing land for cattle, not for
|paper...
The destruction of the Brazilian includes agriculture as well as other
timber-related enterprises. The Indonesian and South-East Asian
rainforests are being decimated by the Japanese at an alarming rate
strictly for traditional timber purposes. Our own North American forests
are also in danger...According to the Dept. of the Interior, over 50% of
our forests have been cut in the last half-century. The average age of an
American tree is just under 8 years. Last spring, Wisconsin paper mills
began receiving shipments of Brazilian Eucalyptus pulp to be made into
paper. These are dollars that should be going to American farmers. A lot
of sulfer acids are needed to pulp wood for paper...dioxins are released
into the atmosphere and ground water. Hemp can be pulped using 1/5 to
1/7th the harmful chemicals needed to pulp wood. Roughly half the
pesticides/herbicides used in agriculture are used on cotton, again
seeping into our ground water supply....hemp needs no such poisons, and
can be grown on marginal land where little else grows.
|As far as relief goes for medical conditions, I'd rather be cured, not
|temporarily relieved.
I doubt you'd find any dissenters among the millions of people suffering
from cancer, AIDS, glaucoma, MS, MD, epilepsy, asthma, anorexia, et al.
Until those miracle cures are found, it's our responsibility to see to it
that every American who needs marijuana for medicine recieves it
immediately. To do anything less is worse than inhumane..it's insane.
|I know pot is not nearly as addictive as opium...
Right. I see no parallels between marijuana and opium, either, though
alcohol and tobacco would certainly fit in that category: both are
addictive and deadly. There is not a single marijuana induced death on
record.
|Hemp would make great jeans, shirts, jackets, etc. I'd gladly...
Check out Hempware, etc, 1090 S Wadsworth, Unit D...Colorado's first
full-blown hempery...hemp clothing, and other hemp products, including a
brand of hempseed-oil called "Happy Hempster!" There is a reading room and
video selection in the back of the store...you can view "Hemp For
Victory!", a WWII propaganda film produced by the Dept. of Agriculture,
encouraging farmers to grow 400,000 acres of hemp for the war effort. A
lot of the "ditch-weed" found in the midwest is the progeny of that
effort. While at Hempware, etc, you can sit and read "The Emperor Wears No
Clothes" by Jack Herer....the bible of the contemporary hemp movement. Or
just drop by and say hi to Connie, who owns the store....she's an
outspoken and patriotic lady, a true bulwark of the movement. She suffers
from glaucoma and is full of info about the commercial/industrial/medical
applications of cannabis hemp. Hempware, etc is open from 10 am to 8 pm
Monday thru Saturday.
|People who are againts drugs...believe that members of NORML want to be
|able to smoke some Thunderfuck or Skunkweed without the threat of jail.
At least we have no trouble getting that portion of our message across.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness are not priveleges to be taken
away at the whim of some petty despot...They are inalienable rights, and
worth fighting for. It's not unreasonable for productive, responsible
individuals to expect to be able to enjoy this herb without fear of
imprisonment, property forfeiture and financial ruin. Drug War Hysteria
has violated every one of our Bill of Rights, with the exception of
Article III, the quartering of troops. Hemp is as much a freedom-movement,
as an evironmental/economic/medicinal one. I believe if we don't fight for
our freedom in this last decade of the 20th century, we probably won't
have any in the next century. I think we'll win, because America is the
country that started it all.
|I don't think NORML is going to make a difference...Is NORML trying to
grow hemp for industry? THe way I see it, NORML isn't doing anything. It
wants to legalize high THC pot. It's fighting Big Government and I don't

unable to serve the needs of it's people. There is growing dissatisfaction
everywhere. Our president's kid stole a billion (give or take) dollars.
Links between the CIA and hard-drugs are well documented. Workers are
being laid off in record numbers, and small businesses are failing at a
higher rate than at any time in our history. People are ready to learn the
truth about hemp and what it can do for our economy. And, there's never
been a better time than the present for it's relegalization. Who among us
could have predicted the fall of the Berlin Wall? The break-down of the
Soviet Union? There's the smell of freedom in the air, and it's high time
we spread some of around in the good old U S of A.
|Why doesn't (NORML) propose to grow some low THC hemp in a prototype
|industry and provide some tough, cheap, comfortable cloth:oil:food?
Because it;s ILLEGAL to grow hemp. That's what this is all about. After a
two year battle, John Birrenbach of the Institute for Hemp (St. Paul) has
finally obtained the necessary permits from the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture to grow 100 acres of Hemp in 1992. Now, he has to battle the
feds to obtain THEIR permits, so that he can possess viable seed in order
to plant the hemp. (Probably several more years in court.) A Russian
agricultural delegation met with John last spring to learn
hemp-harvesting/pulping methods. Russia was a leading producer of hemp in
the last century, and are planning to get back into its production
again.(Napolean invaded Russia to cut off Englands hemp supply.) Bill I.
of Hemp Environmental Activists (Michigan State University) is also
attempting to obtain the necessary permits for Hemp farming. The battle is
being waged all across the country as the movement gains momentum. Jim
Young, technical editor of PULP & PAPER Magazine (a wood-pulp industry
rag) recently wrote an article:"It's Time To Reconsider Hemp." (June 1991)
I also recommend a look at the May 2, 1991 WALL STREET JOURNAL's front
page arcticle by Sonia L. Nazario:"What Is As Versatile As The Soybean But
Illegal Anyway?" Willie Nelson, Gatewood Gailbraith, Hugh Downs and others
are going public in support of hemp. It's an idea who's time has come. BTW,
to listen to a 10 minute recording of Hugh Down's ABC 20/20 piece on Hemp,
just call 470-1100 from your touch-tone phone....when connected, punch in
477. If you appreciate what you hear, then punch 411 for a complete
directory of recorded information. There is a lot going on here that the
general public is not yet aware of...the hemp movement is going to grow
throughout the 90's....I'm out of time....talk to you later...come join us

Dear Mr. Bud, I've finally got around to dialing this BBS, and what a fine
corner you have here too! The Libertarian Party O' Boulder County meets at
the James Pub the second Sunday of each month, 2:00 pm. Just starting a
campus group at CU, which will probably be a branch of Students for
Individual Liberty (SIL) which is affiliated with the International
Society for Individual Liberty. We're hoping that this will attract
students who ordinarily join a purely political group, since the ISIL has
worldwide prestige while still remaining libertarian in a very upfront
kind of way. They also publish a number of position papers such as "Ending
our Drug Nightmare", written by Jarret Wollstein, which shows the benefits
of ending the WOD by legalization. Hope to see you again soon, just
checked out the HEMP shop in Lakewood, looking pretty good! Our
Libertarian pal Steve was recently busted on four misdemeanors, including
failure to produce a license on demand by a police officer, no
registration, driving on suspended license, and failure to produce proof
of insurance. When the cop pulled Steve over, he asked Steve for his
license and Steve refused, citing his Fifth Amendment right to avoid self
incrimination. The cop told him that he was "technically under arrest", so
Steve told him that if that was the case, he demanded counsel, a Fourth
Amendment Search Warrent, and probable cause, whereupon the cop escorted
him to jail after searching his car. At the jail, Steve again demanded
counsel and a phone call. The jailer told him that he "had been watching
too much tv". Anyhow, Steve was arraigned Thursday. We had worked up a
brief, refusing jurisdiction and claiming violation of Constitutional
rights, but never got to use it! Apparently, the DA had read the police
report and realized what we were up to. All charges were dropped except
for failure to produce license, and when Steve plead Not Guilty, they said
they'd drop that one too. Smash the State! Steve can still sue under Title
42 of the USC, and we're looking into that. This all came about through
taking the Barrister Inn school of Common Law, and we haven't even
finished it yet! We plan to open a school in Boulder soon, to let people
know what their rights really are, and how they can sue for big bucks when
the police invariably violate these rights. The secret lies in claiming
all your rights while waiving none, which is what they try to get you to
do when they arrest you. It takes a lot of studying, but knowing your
rights can keep you out of jail! Hope to see you soon, xxxoo Mongo.

I agree with a lot of what you said. I know how devastating the paper
industry is to the environment. Hemp would reduce that burden on the
biosphere.
"chuck a spear or two to help put it out of its misery." OUR
government fills a lot of OUR needs. I think anyone who is looking to
put the government out of its misery is going to lose. I believe that the
gov't has reached critical mass years ago and is now growing beyond our
control or its control. Isn't the gov't the largest employer in the
state?
There are two things that scare me about our gov't. First more and
more people are relinquishing responsibilities. To keep order someone or
something must accept responsibility. Here the gov't is willing to 'serve
the people', except with responsibilities the people are also giving up
rights.
Secondly, the gov't also creates jobs where none are needed. While
this may be nice for some politician to be able to say "I created 250 jobs
for my constituents last year" and it may be nice for the worker who got
the job, the odds are that job will be involved in the regulation of
something that wasn't regulated the year before.
That results in a greater tax burden for me that I don't want and it
also may limitsomething that I may want to do.
I've seen assholes at work create positions underneath them to enlarge

I know politicians do this and WE are their cash cow. they lie to us and
take our money. I'm glad some of the gov't is there and I don't mind

believe, though, that I pay a lot of taxes for things that I don't need or

Soon, how soon(who knows) there will be enough people dependent on the

felt there should be a revolution every 5 to 10 (Ithink) years. He knew
what politicians were like.)

Actualy, the Military has always been one of the biggest hemp consumers.
In fact our nations #1 war hero (the big Bush-man) owes his life to hemp.
Both times he had to bail out of his plane, he floated safely to earth on
a parachute made out of hemp. In fact, note just the chute, but the cords,
and pack were also hemp.
The time his plane caught fire on the flight deck, the hoses that put him
and his plane out were made of hemp.
The uniform that kept his equipment from getting shot off, was made out of
hemp.
There is a Propaganda film from WWII called "Hemp For Victory". The war
department tried to claim that they never made any such film, but they
were, of course, lieing. It's aimed at farmers, telling them how
inportant it was to grow hemp (Note: they didn't call it Marajwan) for the
war effort. If you want to see it, just stop by "Hemp Wear etc..." on
Wadsworth and Mississippi. They might have a copy for sale, or you can
plug it in and watch it there.
Also, I've been in your postion. You can support the movement, you just
can't smoke it.

okay, here's something for those late nighters (or early morningers)!
KOA everyday has public talk radio shows....
mon-fri 12am-5am
sun 3:30am-4am
the weekdays is your basic whatever-everyone-wants-to-talk-about program,
and the topic follows the direction of each successive caller (unless
ofcourse, the next caller returns the topic to HEMP!!).
sunday is, i think, 'hit or miss', you have maybe 15 sec. to say anything
you want and you can call as many times as you like as long as you keep
getting through you can keep listing off statistics or whatever you want,
even plugs for hempware, hemp hotline, petition classes, rallies, etc....
.
these koa shows, i hear, are broadcast to about 38 states.
THE #, 623-8585!!!
i called during the Persian "War", and said we didn't need it, what we NEED
ED to do was to relegalize, got only positive comebacks from around the
country!!!
i'll be calling tonight.
..
..
..
for the daytimers, KOOL 105 is doing something called T.I.T.T.S. (Taking i
It To The Streets).
the way this one works is that the public calls and leaves a message
about their topic, the station tallies topic interest and then broadcastss
the winning topic, listeners can now call in and voice their opinion on
the topic, the station will then broadcast groups of opinions between
songs.
i recommend.....oh maybe.....HEMP!!!! yeah, everyone
call in hemp everyday!
also, i hear that the dj's on KOA are pro, and you would have good luck se
tting up an interview with them!

Yesterday was a good day for the Hemp movement.
Connie's store (HEMPwear etc..) got exposure on both radio and tv.
What started out as a consumer call to Tom Martineo, turned in to a great
education spot. That lead to getting the lead story on that evenings
News.
No mention of the movement or the initiative, but at least a 100,000 people
who didn't know that hemp has more than one use, now know better.
Initaly, Tom didn't think the whole thing was for real, so we got an
education pack over to him, which he opened and talked about on the air.
That led to a news story on Channel 4. The lead story included a
interview with Connie, several good examples of hemp products, and footage
from "Hemp for Victory" (1942 Pro-Hemp USDA film)
Also, I just want to say thanx to all the people who showed up for the big
rally monday morning.
.............
NOT!!!!!!
Comon people, get off your butts and help out. We can sit here and jerk
each other off on the BBS all day, and come Novemer we will still be going
to jail for lighing and enjoying the herb. O2 producing trees will still
be cut down at the rate of thousands of acers a day to make paper. We
will still be using millions of gallons of toxic chemicals to grow cotton.
And millions of gallions of even more toxic pesticides trying to kill off
the ditch weed growing around the country, and to kill off the people who
minght try and smoke it. Glocoma(sp?) sufferers will still be faced with
a choice of going blind, or breaking the law.
If you want change, you got to make change happen. Making excuses makes
nothing happen.
So you say you don't know what you can do to help. Well, first get
registered to vote. It's not hard, takes no more than ten minutes. Sign
the damm petition, YES your one single signature will count, and YES you
vote will matter. Telling yourself otherwise is just a lazy cop-out.
Call Connie at 935-6410, ask her what you can do. The poor woman is
running herself ragged trying to get YOU the right to use hemp, without
getting sent to jail and having all you belongings stolen by the
government.
Write letters to your state legislators. Tell them that not only do you
want the law changed, you don't want them circumventing the peoples will
after we get it changed.
BUY and USE hemp products. I know they are more expensive, but every
person wearing a hamp shirt, or using hemp flour, or any other hemp
product is living, walking, indisputable proof that hemp is a better way.

Monday Mar. 2, 1992, Denver Post, 1B,2B: "Pro-hemp petitioners hit

Reading the article, I can see yuse guys will have no trouble getting the
signatures needed to get on the ballot from campus canvasers alone, but
then after that it's a whole different ballgame, because the fatcats that
come out against you will manipulate public opinion by calling you various
labels, and you ain't financed well enough to get in the same media and
call them names back...then there's them outright lies Nyuk Nyuk!
Still, if you can get your word out grassroots style then the big papers
and TV might not be able to manipulate opinion against you in the week
before the election like the fatcats want. I recommend that your
petitioners give out plenty of informative literature along the way, and
you save up your pennies for at least one big half or full page ad in the 2
Denver papers right before the election, the day before Nyuk Nyuk!
If your initiative gets voted down, though, don't give up hope, just learn
how to win next time...time is definitely on your side.
BTW, I logged onto Realm of Lost Souls (680-7688), and Twin Towers
(934-1297), and saw a NORML forum, but I forgot which board it was on Nyuk
Nyuk!

refused to give his driver's license, so the boys claimed they'd hold him

him, and the boys were going to bust him too, even though he wasn't on the

decided it would be in their best interest to let JM go, oddly
enough....meanwhile, holding our pal "forever" turned out to be two days.

If at all possible, try to talk to at least 4 people a day, and give them
the truth about hemp...I bumped into a stranger over the weekend, and the
first thing I asked was:"Are you a registered voter?" He said he was and
I proceeded to lay the hemp info on him.....as I did, I saw the "light of
knowledge" spark to life in his eyes....he called me yesterday and told me
that he's now converted 26 people, including a religious family, and
they're now on the hemp-bandwagon....this guy is fired up and will be a

The Swallow and the Other Birds (Aesop, 550 BC)
It happened that a Countryman was sowing some hemp seeds in a field where
a Swallow and some other birds were hopping about picking up their food.
"Beware of that man," quoth the Swallow. "Why, what is he doing?" said
the others. "That is the hemp seed he is sowing; be careful to pick up
every one of the seeds, or else you will repent it." The birds paid no
heed to the Swallow's words, and by the time the hemp grew up and was made
into cord, and of the cord nets were made, and many a bird that had
despised the Swallow's advice was caught in nets made out of that very
hemp. "What did I tell you?" said the Swallow. DESTROY THE SEEDS OF
EVIL, OR IT WILL GROW UP TO YOUR RUIN.

Subject: Hemp and CO2
ALSO SEE: 131.
Burning methanol (in place of gasoline) emits one third the CO2 as does
petroleum. Using hemp to make methanol is the best idea because of hemp's
high yeild of cellulose, the basis of methanol fuel. Hemp seed oil, used
in a Diesel motor, would have a different emission level, unknown to me.
But methanol has one third the CO2 as does gasoline. Of course, methanol
would be a transitional fuel moving toward hydrogen/solar, or some other
low-impact renewable resource. Also, the argument for hemp takes on a
greater importance in light of what some have called "Global Supercrisis."
To some of us tree-huggers it's obvious, but there are a whole lot of
problems in a whole lot of areas -- all coming together into a big threat
to our continued survival as a civilization and perhaps as a species. The
greenhouse effect, ozone/chlorine cycle, and toxic waste are three global
aspects to this "Supercrisis." There are many more aspects, each as
potentially devastating. Economics, politics, and social values are all
bound up together in this Supercrisis; it's not just an "environmental"
thing. The reason I'm hammering this point in is because HEMP, if used
properly and used immediately, is capable of solving so many (if not all)
of our problems. The figure quoted earlier, $500 Billion, may seem like
an underestimate in a future socioeconomic system based on hemp to the
extent to which our today is based on petroleum. This is not only
possible, there are many of us who are starting to think it's imperative.
ALSO: All the hemp feilds and ever-regenerating forests worldwide would
act as CO2 "sinks," trapping vast quantities of CO2 in their lifespans.
Also, the oceans would continue to contain plankton and other organisms
which would continue to absorb CO2, instead of potentially depleting by
orders of nagnitude because of the synergism of oceanwater toxicity,
degenerating ozonosphere, and possible temperature changes. In order to
stop the chlorine cycle and head off ozone destruction a century from now
(one molecule of chlorine destroys 100,000 molecules of ozone in a hundred
-year cycle) we need to stop using the stuff to make paper. In order to
stop deforestation, one of the things we need to do is stop cutting down
trees for paper products. Here, as well as everywhere else, hemp is the
common-sense choice for saving the Earth.

Because somebody might get high for a few minutes, we destroy our

For fear that somebody, somewhere, might have a good time ( or even screw

I liked that diatribe! I'm beginning to see hemp as a "keystone" element
which is needed now to support the arch of civilization, threatening
collapse. Hemp is Right, hemp is Moral, in the very highest sense, both
utilitarian and deontological. Blah blah blah -- it's the right thing to
do. Information is the only weapon hemp-o-philes have against all the
money, rules, and enemies of The People who are anti-hemp for whatever
reasons. Information: education, Truth-telling, ready facts, and just the
whole rap what gives the Hemp Movement power: but it must be scholarly
information, as Jack Herer has presented, all mucho well-documented and
readily available. The media says: ". . . which they say can replace
petroleum. . . " or somesuch bombastic claims. The facts are there, in
theory and in big, round numbers, but it must be quantified, and if it
really is, then folk need to see it point blank. This ever-increasing
information has been spread all around the country heavily in the last
couple of years, and it's obvious that this country is at least ambivalent
on the issue, even though the third of Coloradoans who toke is like one
third of the total population -- a political majority. This is strange,
and I wonder what really holds people back who know friends who smoke, and
tolerate it, but won't lift a pen to advocate what's right. This country
was built on hemp, by people who had little else but hemp and horses to
base a technology on before the age of steam. To reclaim hemp for America
is not only one of the most patriotic things we can do, but also one of
the very best (probably crucial) things we can do, right now, for our
planet. People who don't support hemp, I belive, are sort of hurting the
Earth all that much more, stealing from our great-grandchildren. Stealing
their WORLD from them, and we laugh about it. My heart does not bleed,

Elvy got Freedom Fighter of the Year 1992. Was cold and rainy, but still
had around 4000 people show up. The police were a real hassle,
confiscating goods that activists had for sale. Vicki Linker even got
hauled away with her goods. maybe you'll make it next year... they voted
to have it the first weekend in May... we'll see...

Just got our report in tonight from Ohio NORML about the Atlanta

that way, too... was a bigggg event... more than 50,000 people, he called
it the biggest pot rally in the history of the country, and i can believe
it. More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of hemp and
are willing to speak out... sometimes, when talking to politicians, it may
seem like we're getting nowhere fast, but we are making a difference.
We're getting lots of calls from local people wanting to know how to join
our organization now. They're tired of the repressive laws and see more
and more people getting hurt by them.
Keep up the good work with your petitions... look forward to further
progress reports soon.

I got this post from Dr. Hemp of Maryland, so I'll share it with you all:
Heard from Casper today that they're almost ready to release the new "Hemp
Chronicles", which is a revamping of "Time 4 Hemp." They are doing a
special introductory offer of 1000 numbered tape/t-shirt combinations as
collectors editions dedicated to the 400 activists that have helped them
continue through it all. The introductory price is $26.95 + $2.90 S&H.
After this time, all other tapes/t-shirts will be $31.95 + S&H, unless you
are active at gettng them shown on cable access, in which case the price
will remain the same. For people that only want either the t-shirt or a
tape, the prices will be $17.76 for a t-shirt and $19.37 for a tape.
Prices look familiar??? If you want more info, you can call him direct at
1-800-882-3317. He wants as many people as possible to get the word.. the
tapes go out to activists on May 8th and to the general public on May
20th. I don't know if you can put this up on the board, which is why I'm
leaving the message here for ya... I leave it to your discretion, but if
you could pass it along, would be gratefully appreciated.

This Friday, April 24, we are having a Major Hemp rally. There will be
music, speakers, vendors, product demonstrations, and a BAKE SALE of
yummies made from HEMP. (Had to fight like hell to pull that off)
It will be on the Auraria Campus, by the student union, from 1 to 5.
In addion to the speakers, we will be alowing a generous amount ov
open-mic time. That is when ANYBODY may get up and speak, be they for or
against Hemp RE-Legalization.
If you think that you know all there is to know about Hemp, and there is
no more you can learn, you are wrong.
If you think you can't make a difference in this movement, you are right!
You have to want, and belive that you can make a difference, in order to
be able to make a change.
I'm not taking the namby pamby aproach any more (it has been pointed out
to me that I never have). I am sick of all the loser jerk-offs out there
that are too lazy or (this really pisses me off) too scared to stand up and
be counted.
And to be real frank, it chaffes my butt that the lazy and scared are
going to benifit as much or even more than the ones of us who are busting
our butts. Were it up to me, they would some how be writen out, But it's
not, so I just have to live with it.
That said, Show up at the DAMM RALLY! We need you, each and every one of
you, to be there, show your support, look good for the media, and just
have a good time.

we got word today from several sources that Kentucky has made all hemp
products illegal. We have been trying to reach the CAN gang, but no one
is answering their phone. We haven't been able to get in touch with
Gatewood either. Wonder what he plans to do about Gatewoodstock... It's
a real blow to the movement that a state can be so paranoid about a plant
that it makes all the beneficial products illegal as well just so people
aren't getting the "wrong message." How many more legislators will be
convinced about this?
We have personal experience of this, on a local level. Our oldest
daughter, who was taken by the state a year and a half ago had all her
hemp twine taken away, as well as the bracelets, necklace and anklet she
had been given by her brothers and sisters. The social worker said it was
because she "might get high" working with the twine, and it did have such
a relaxing effect to sit around and braid bracelets... And of course, it
had to be the effect of the "marijuana" she was working with, not the fact
that braiding bracelets can be very relaxing. Comes with keeping your
hands busy and your mind free to wander...
If you hear any more about this, please let us know. thanks.

We've been in touch with friends in LA and the word we're getting back

We've also noticed that the arsonists that were caught by the firemen were

is that Darryl Gates predicted it before the verdict even came in. Need

I would agree that children won't turn their parents in on drug charges
(minor ones) unless persuaded. However, I don't think it's only Officer
Friendly from the DARE program. When you and I were growing up, we didn't
have the same programs, etc. By the time a kid is 5 or 6, he or she knows
that smoking, drinking and drugs are wrong. It's not because of DARE ...
they might not even be in school yet. Have you sat down and watched
Saturday morning cartoons lately? There are commercials every half hour
telling kids not to do drugs, etc.
I think those commercials are ok. It's the programs that use cartoon
spokesmen that I oppose. MacGruff for instance. MacGruff tells kids that
they should turn in anyone they see doing or selling drugs. Normally I
would say that's great ... if they're smoking or selling in public then
they're stupid enough to be caught! However, MacGruff doesn't tell kids
that there's a stopping line.
I don't know if it can be done. How do you tell a 6-year-old that he
should turn in people smoking pot unless it's a family member? Can you?

Subject: Jack Herer
Did anybody go see Jack Herer in Boulder yesterday? He was (according
to reports) at the Wild Oats Vegetarian Market (AKA Crystal Market) on
Pearl Street between about 11 am and 1 pm. I didn't get off work until
almost one, so by the time I arrived on the scene he was gone. There
were a few deadicated heads passing the petition around, and they said
that they had been on tour with Jack, and that he was supposed to be back
on the mall later that afternoon, so I went away and came back later, but
there was still no sign of the dude by 7:30. I guess he just lost track
of time.

At that time we will get a listing of ALL the sigs, and a report on each
one, saying if it is good, and if not, why.
OR!!!!!!!
if they don't have them counted by then, it goes on to the ballot by
default.
The moral here.....
DON'T be calling up the Secretary of State's office and bugging them.
These people seem to be somewhat sympathetic to our cause. But the people
who have been calling up demanding to observe the count are pissing them
off.
If they do shaft us, we have plenty of recourse, and plenty of time to
take it.
In the mean time, if they get down to two petitions, and they only got
time to count one; and certain ASSHOLES continue to call a scream threats
and obscenities at them, which one do you thing will get passed onto the
ballot, and which one do you think will be gone over with a fine tooth
comb?
BTW, as I am sure you know, I am not refering to you. The message just

Last week Boulder citizens successfully said NO to the War on Drugs...
An employee of a Boulder sandwich shop, the YELLO SUB, was accused of
mailing psilocybin mushrooms to a friend in Albany, NY....little did she
know that her "friend" had been turned into a snitch by the feds....In a
particularly ballsy move, the feds then decided to seize the assets of
her EMPLOYER! However, due to media coverage and public outcry, the DEA
back-peddled and returned the assets. These fascist pigs are just like
cockroaches....turn the light on 'em, and they scurry away! On Saturday,
the Boulder County Libertarians and the Boulder Hemp Initiative hosted an
Eat-In at the Yello Sub to protest these bogus forfeiture laws....quite a
crowd showed up, with speakers from all across the country. A shit-load of
sandwiches were sold, hopefully enough to help cover the $5,000 legal fees
spent by the owner in his battle to keep what was rightfully his to begin
with.
The tide is turning, and folks are simply tired of this unwinable war.

One of, if not the most major, tennent of the Quaker faith is witnessing.
That's not witnessing in the sense that bible thumpers mean it. What the
Quakers belive is that it is the duty and responsibility of all men (and
women) to bear witness to evil. IT IS WRONG to turn away from evil, and
let it hide.
How strong of a truth that is was proved in Boulder last Saturday. Over a
hundred people gathered simply to say "We see what you are doing, and you
are not fooling anybody."
Another sign of just how powerfull this is;
Last week I, along with a number of other NORML activests, got a call from
a gentleman who said he was head of a group called F.E.A.R. (stood for
some kind of anti-seizure thing) and he tried to tell us that the owner of
Yellow Sub was involved in drug traficing and money laundering, and that
we would be incredibly remiss if we supported this victim of the DEA.
Obviously, that is a pile of horse shit. Now I'm not saying this guy was
an agent, but I would be happy to entertain any other theories that
anybody might have as to this persons motives.

As all you parents know, school opens this week.
And because of the hemp initiative the D.A.R.E. assult is going to be
harder than ever.
But there is good news!
You don't have to let them get their hands on your kids. D.A.R.E. is an
extracaricular (<- yes it is spelled wrong) activity, and they need your
permision to brainwash your child.
What? you say you didn't give any permision? Well, sorry, you have given
"implied" permission when you enrolled them. The only way to revoke it is
in writing.
You can either type one up yourself, and have your lawyer check it over
for loopholes, or you can dowload Foad's Handy Dandy
Keep-Your=Mitts-Offa-My-Kids letter.
Just fill in the blanks with basic info, and send three copies with each
kid on the first day of school. One for the principal, one for the
teacher, and one for the principal to sign and return.
soon as the big guy puts it up it will be called "ANTIDARE.LTR". DL it,
look it over, and protect your kids minds with it.
If you don't, don't blame me when you get hauled off to prison cause your
kids turned you in for anti government activity.

I was just reading in HT that according to the National Narcotics
Intelligence Consumers Committee report (uh... that's the government,
right?), 110 million pounds of marijuana is bought and sold in Amerika
each year. If that's true, we're averaging about seven ounces of grass
for every man, woman and child in the country. But the figures are even
better when youu compare it to the government's claim that 20.5 million
people smoke - that means that the average toker burns about 5.2 pounds
each year. If that's true, I must be waaaaayyyyyy behind! So come on -
who's hoarding those extra pounds?

I just heard that the HEMP initiative failed (on KOA radio).
Can't say that I'm sorry either. I'm not really too concerned about pot so
much as the harder drugs. Legalization of pot (not MJ. Let's be honest
people, fabric manufacture is NOT the "real" reason you want it
legalized... =) isn't going to help combat the drug problem any.
"Well it's our bodies right? Why can't we do drugs if we want to?"
Speaking from personal experience, there is already TONS of peer pressure
on kids to do drugs as it is. Kids are forced into it at a young age. I
don't buy the argument that if you legalize it everything will be better.
It *is* addictive and it is detrimental to your health (ok, maybe your
health is YOUR bussiness, but what about the kids who are pushed into it
at 10-14 years of age?)
It's basically the same reason people aren't allowed run around in no
cloths and have sex in public. This is still a democracy, and the laws are
defined by the majority.

Just where do you get off telling Kind Bud or anybody else the REAL reason
we are doing this?!?!?
As a matter of fact, WE ARE doing it for fabric and paper and food, and
for that mater even fuel.
I can smoke it any time I want to now. What I can't do is buy ecologicly
safe paper and cloth.
Mabye you should have a talk with Charles Bartwood. Thirty years ago, he
was diagnosed with glocoma (sp?). Every day since then he has smoked the
about half a joint a day. That is up until 1 year and a half ago. He was
arrested for posesion and recived five years. Six months ago, he was
hardship released. You see, he is now blind.
I suggest you climb out of you safe little government control cocoon and
have a look around at the REAL world.

Whoa! Hold on a sec, JC. Your argument is using so much circular logic
and is so full of holes as to be almost painful to a logical mind. First,
if something is so horrible as to need being outlawed, then you must make
a few choices about what kind of law you're going to use to outlaw it.
Currently, the law outlawing the use of Marijuana says that it is
A)patently dangerous and B) has not legitimate use. Both of these
statements are FALSE! First and foremost, the GOVERNMENT, not me, has
studies showing that deaths from Marijuana are 0 per year. Compare that
to Alcohol, Cigs, cars, etc... Second, there are hundreds of uses. The
fact that the constitution was written on it should kinda prove that.
Secondly, your argument is that making it legal will let little school
children get access to it is both a rediculous statement, and a scare
tactic employed by the anti-drug establishment. First, of all the legal
drugs available, and pot, I'd much rather find out my son was smoking pot.
At least he's not going to be getting drunk and trying to drive. You're
usually too mellow to worry about driving when smoking.
Are you aware that it was the petro-chemical industry that shoved the bill
down your throat saying you couldn't use pot for ANYTHING! Of course they
did, it's easier for them to make money offa you. So while our landfills
overflow with petro-chemical crapola, the "weed" that could well save the
environment is illegal, and will get you SENT TO JAIL for just smoking it.
Do you really believe that if a person of otherwise good standing is
caught smoking pot, a productive member of society at that, should go
from making $30,000 a year, to COSTING $32,000 a year? That is insane, we
simply cannot afford anyone else in prison unless they really deserve to
be there. We are not talking about nameless faceless statistics, but REAL
people, with REAL lives.

I kept meaning to put something up here.
First. Yes it is dead for this year. Note that I said "this year." We
learned a lot of things about the system and how to deal with it. Next
time we'll have 'em.
It is inportant to remember that we had more than enough signatures. So
next time around we can take our support and what we learned and nail 'em
in the butt.
Second. We are starting a Medical Hemp initave in Denver. We only 5000
names to get it on the ballot in '93, and we can take as long as we need
so we will have plenty of time to deal with the crap.
This will legalize it within the Denver city limits, provided the posseser
has a perscription for it. It will also instruct the mayor to ordr the
cheif of police to make hemp proabition enforcement the lowest priority.
Even below parking.
Third. Kind Bud is computerless for the next mont or so.

Yes, it's great that medical hemp initiatives are being introduced in so
many places. They tell me it has a good chance of passing this year in
Santa Cruz and some other cities. The real good thing is that as soon as
the government acknowledges that cannabis has valid medical uses,
marijuana will no longer fit the DEA's definition of a schedule I
controlled substance.
