HEMP for VICTORY!

[ECV56_Guevara]

It´s not legal to grow Hemp for rope/industrial use in USA?

As drugs...it s are another way of social control, as TV and mass media, alcohol etc.., but I´m supporter of the idea of legal marihuana for recreative use. Other drugs...hell no! Too dangerous, nothing good come from them.

well i guess you can with a quite special permision

from the wiki:

Hemp was used extensively by the United States during World War II. Uniforms, canvas, and rope were among the main textiles created from the hemp plant at this time.[78] Much of the hemp used was cultivated in Kentucky and the Midwest.

today you CANT get hemp clothes and for what i heard theyre much better than jeans

i think panama jack sells them , i meant as a general trend they are hard to get while in the past hemp clothes were widely used as for example in nearly all wwii uniforms

edit:

although the main reason hemp is banned while alcohol allowed is cause one makes you think while the other animalize you

What's amazing to me is that this thread is allowed to go on, but discussion of the future of the sim that brought us all together in the first place is quashed.

Even in the "lounge" area of the forum.

Truly the world turned upside down.

Mods, if you could be so kind to explain this to me, as I am all at sea about it, I'd appreciate it.

Oh, and one thing on the subject of this thread, as you get a bit older, all the passions about "hemp" (nudge nudge wink wink say no more) all seem a bit silly in the great scheme of life.

for the last ten years ive kept an eye on the development of cannabidiol a component of hemP as a highly effective antipsicotic WITHOUT SIDE EFFECTS


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabidiol

This research indicates that CBD acts as an anti-psychotic and may counteract the potential psychotomimetic effects of THC on individuals with latent schizophrenia.

curently im having an antipsicotic which causes parkinson symptons so i have to have an antiparkinson akineton WHICH CAUSES HALLUCINATIONS, does this make any sense?

my fear and i think is not paranoia is though cannabidiol is very effective on psicosis it will never be comercial since plants cant hold a PATENT

http://parkinsons-disease.emedtv.com...-overdose.html

If a person takes too much Akineton (biperiden hydrochloride), overdose symptoms could occur and may include hallucinations,

There is a difference between "legal" and "Decriminalization." When people in the US see "legal" they think they can go to Walmart and buy it. I don't want that.

Heroin and Marijuana are both Schedule I drugs in the US but they shouldn't be treated the same. Hell Marijuana shouldn't be a Schedule I drug at all!

It is something you have to learn/train your bodies natural instinct to ignore.. Most marijuana smokers consume a lot less cannabis than cigarette smokers consume tobacco, however the harmful effects of smoking marijuana should not be ignored. Marijuana contains more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than tobacco smoke and because marijuana smokers typically inhale deeper and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than tobacco smokers, their lungs are exposed to those carcinogenic properties longer, when smoking... Scientists have found that regular marijuana smokers can experience the same respiratory problems as tobacco smokers do, like frequent acute chest illnesses, increased risk of lung infections, obstructed airways. Marijuana smoke contains three times the amount of tar found in tobacco smoke and 50 percent more carcinogens, it would seem logical to deduce that there is an increased risk of lung cancer for marijuana smokers. However, researchers have not been able to definitively prove such a link because their studies have not been able to adjust for tobacco smoking and other factors that might also increase the risk. Studies linking marijuana smoking to lung cancer have also been limited by selection bias and small sample size. For example, the participants in those studies may have been too young to have developed lung cancer yet. Even though researchers have yet to "prove" a link between smoking pot and lung cancer, regular smokers may want to consider the risk.

I'd love to see your sources on this info. There is more than one way to take Marijuana. You can use a vaporizer, there's drinks, and edibles. There's a comany in Colorado trying to make money off this idea. They're hoping to sell off to big pharma or big alcohol. www.dixieelixirs.com/

Because of the lower blood pressure and higher heart rate, researchers found that users' risk for a heart attack is four times higher within the first hour after smoking marijuana, compared to their general risk of heart attack when not smoking.

Again show a news story or something that shows someone having a heart attack from smoking weed...BS

This is why I put this in the pilots lounge! The pilots lounge is to talk about most everything short of raping and killing old people. Mods don't have to explain anything to you because there is nothing wrong going on here.

Just because your "older" and beaten down by life doesn't mean someone else can't take the torch. I hate it when people try to marginalize the subject of hemp and weed by saying, "we have more important things to worry about." I don't think others realize how many people and things are effected by this subject. Here is a good starting point:

Older and beaten down by life?


Stereotype much?




The only reason I have any opinion on the subject is that, IMHO, drug enforcement is a colossal waste of money and resources, and it has only lead to the militarization of civilian law enforcement.

As to usage and the lifestyle of it, I couldn't care less about it anymore.

A good single malt scotch is far more satisfying, and it won't hurt your lungs.
