HEMP FOR VICTORY;
George Washington raised large quantities of hemp. So did Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison and virtually every other 1700s American
farmer.

Indeed, in the Age of Obama, this old news has a new meaning. It is
time to end Hemp/Marijuana Prohibition. With Bush gone and a new
generation taking charge, we may finally have a chance to do it. Our
nation's famous Founders are our key allies.

Since 1937 the US has suffered through a period of hemp persecution
that all the Founders -- from Washington to Franklin, from Adams to
Madison -- would have deemed absolutely insane.

In his farm journal of August 7, 1765, Washington notes that he "began
to separate (sic) the male from the female hemp...rather too late." An
astute agronomist, Washington could only have been seeking a crop with
stronger "medicinal" qualities. Founders who smoked bales of tobacco
and consumed oceans of beer (Washington was young America's leading
brewer) could not have missed the recreational properties of a crop
well known for five millennia.

As for industrial hemp, growing it has actually been mandatory at
various times in our history. Most recently Kansas was virtually
carpeted with it as part of the effort to win World War Two.

For more than 5,000 years, dating back at least to ancient China, hemp
has been used for paper, rope, sails, cloth, clothing, fuel, food, and
much more. Today the rich oil in hemp seeds should be a staple of our
conversion to clean, green bio-diesel fuels. Its stems and leaves
could be a core crop for making cellulosic ethanol. Re-legalized hemp
cultivation could quickly become a multi-billion-dollar bonanza for
American farmers, just as it was immensely profitable for George
Washington and his cohorts.

Hemp is great for the environment because it is a hardy perennial. It
needs no annual re-seeding, no plowing, no fertilizer, no pesticides,
no herbicides. Its seeds are loved by birds of all varieties, and are
so full of vitamins and protein they comprise a pure, clean supplement
for the modern human diet.

An acre of hemp produces five times as much paper as an acre of trees.
The product is more durable and easier to manufacture. At least one
draft each of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were
written on it.

Hemp growing is legal in Canada, Germany and China, among other
places, where it is productive and profitable. Desperate for income,
farmers in the Dakotas and elsewhere throughout the Great Plains have
been organizing to get this time-honored plant re-legalized.

They have America's Founders on their side. Washington, Adams,
Jefferson, Madison and the entire early American farm community --
about 90% of the populace back then -- would be astonished to hear
that industrial hemp or its smokable sister are illegal.

With the coming of a president who has admitted to smoking marijuana
and liking it, it's time to link Number 44 with Numbers one through
four, and beyond.

With our economy on the ropes, there are billions of dollars to be
made from growing industrial hemp, and from taxing legalized
marijuana.

Barack Obama should take a hint from
our First President by kicking off a national campaign to end
Prohibition and re-legalize both hemp and marijuana. It's time to
honor our ancestors.

>> HEMP FOR VICTORY;
>> George Washington raised large quantities of hemp. So did Thomas
>> Jefferson, James Madison and virtually every other 1700s American
>> farmer.
>>
>> Indeed, in the Age of Obama, this old news has a new meaning. It is
>> time to end Hemp/Marijuana Prohibition. With Bush gone and a new
>> generation taking charge, we may finally have a chance to do it. Our
>> nation's famous Founders are our key allies.
>>
>> Since 1937 the US has suffered through a period of hemp persecution
>> that all the Founders -- from Washington to Franklin, from Adams to
>> Madison -- would have deemed absolutely insane.
>>
>> In his farm journal of August 7, 1765, Washington notes that he "began
>> to separate (sic) the male from the female hemp...rather too late." An
>> astute agronomist, Washington could only have been seeking a crop with
>> stronger "medicinal" qualities. Founders who smoked bales of tobacco
>> and consumed oceans of beer (Washington was young America's leading
>> brewer) could not have missed the recreational properties of a crop
>> well known for five millennia.
>>
>> As for industrial hemp, growing it has actually been mandatory at
>> various times in our history. Most recently Kansas was virtually
>> carpeted with it as part of the effort to win World War Two.
>>
>> For more than 5,000 years, dating back at least to ancient China, hemp
>> has been used for paper, rope, sails, cloth, clothing, fuel, food, and
>> much more. Today the rich oil in hemp seeds should be a staple of our
>> conversion to clean, green bio-diesel fuels. Its stems and leaves
>> could be a core crop for making cellulosic ethanol. Re-legalized hemp
>> cultivation could quickly become a multi-billion-dollar bonanza for
>> American farmers, just as it was immensely profitable for George
>> Washington and his cohorts.
>>
>> Hemp is great for the environment because it is a hardy perennial. It
>> needs no annual re-seeding, no plowing, no fertilizer, no pesticides,
>> no herbicides. Its seeds are loved by birds of all varieties, and are
>> so full of vitamins and protein they comprise a pure, clean supplement
>> for the modern human diet.
>>
>> An acre of hemp produces five times as much paper as an acre of trees.
>> The product is more durable and easier to manufacture. At least one
>> draft each of the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution were
>> written on it.
>>
>> Hemp growing is legal in Canada, Germany and China, among other
>> places, where it is productive and profitable. Desperate for income,
>> farmers in the Dakotas and elsewhere throughout the Great Plains have
>> been organizing to get this time-honored plant re-legalized.
>>
>> They have America's Founders on their side. Washington, Adams,
>> Jefferson, Madison and the entire early American farm community --
>> about 90% of the populace back then -- would be astonished to hear
>> that industrial hemp or its smokable sister are illegal.
>>
>> With the coming of a president who has admitted to smoking marijuana
>> and liking it, it's time to link Number 44 with Numbers one through
>> four, and beyond.
>>
>> With our economy on the ropes, there are billions of dollars to be
>> made from growing industrial hemp, and from taxing legalized
>> marijuana.
>>
>> Barack Obama should take a hint from
>> our First President by kicking off a national campaign to end
>> Prohibition and re-legalize both hemp and marijuana. It's time to
>> honor our ancestors.
