Learn Why Hemp Is Being Suppressed
Deeper we slip down the path of drug war, losing rights as we go. Which
brings us to hemp.
People are learning how many products our farmers could give us with hemp.
"Why on Earth aren't we growing hemp?" is being asked louder and clearer.
Sen. Larry Craig's new bill would stifle public input regarding management
of public forests, going as far as allowing timber sales that lose money if
done in the name of "forest health." More networks of roads and clearcuts
will never be healthy for our ravaged forest ecosystems. And now, your
right to do anything to help could be snuffed. Timber barons have legendary
power over Congress. Craig is not the only one sucking in heaps of timber
dollars. That's a main reason our farmers have no right to energize our
economy and help our environment with hemp.
Virtually all forest products could be replaced with hemp products.
Industrial hemp, which has no drug potential.
Industrial hemp's troublesome cousin, cannabis hemp (marijuana), is all the
feds want to talk about, hoping knowledge of nondrug hemp will not
brighten the minds of too many voters.
Shouting, "Save our children!" tops the feds' favorite theatrics for
keeping from us our right to hemp.
Learn why so many other countries are charging ahead with hemp. Find the
truth about what timber barons and their Larry Craigs are doing for their
pockets, at the expense of our children.
