...Hemp: The plant that can save America COM172 May 8, 2012 Hemp: The plant that can save America Marijuana, pot, weed, grass, smoke, hemp - these are just a few of the names given to the plant known as Cannabis Sativa. Lobbyists are currently trying to repeal the federal laws making the growth, production, and possession of medicinal cannabis illegal because of the benefits to people with cancer, glaucoma, and chronic pain. If successful this will also make it legal to grow industrial hemp. Industrial hemp can be used for clothing, nutritional supplements, and paper products; building supplies, automotive construction, and alternative fuel sources. With the legalization of hemp this nation conceivably could negate its dependence on foreign oil and reverse the failing economy. From the birth of this nation up to the 1950s, hemp was grown on large farms and in small family plots. Early settlers understood the necessity of growing hemp for rope and sails used on ships, for cloth to make clothes; even the original flag was made from hemp. In fact there were mandatory grow laws in place for years that made it a crime not to grow hemp. In 1937 the government passed a law (Title 21 U.S.C. Controlled Substance Act) that made it illegal to use marijuana for medicinal purposes. In doing so, they outlawed industrial hemp as well, even though it only contains trace amounts of the substance Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that gives Cannabis its effectiveness. Most proponents of...

...The Beneficial Uses of Hemp Following my father's death, I felt there was some unfinished business that we had not discussed. I searched to find some of my father's thoughts and feeling that I could justify our relationship through. Ironically, I came across a manila envelope, which had contained some of his prized possessions. As I searched through it, I developed a new opinion of the bio mass plant called "Hemp." There were articles showing a hemp bills being passed and farmers wanting to cultivate it within Delta County. There was also a book called "The Emperor Wears No Clothes." It was a book stating compelling facts about the miracle crop Hemp." An article struck me. It told of, Woody Harrison, a well-known actor stating, "He would pick up the tab for Colorado's first hemp crop if state legislators approve the crop." He also stated that you could smoke a pound of it and not get high. (Rice)" In addition 4.6 million members of the American Farm Bureau Federation support Hemp 100 percent. Hemp could be the most abundant natural resource, it can replace 80% of our fossil fuels, and be used for many major medicinal purposes (Kriho). It is essential that we stop the use of all fossil fuels, and deforestation to save Mother Earth. This can be accomplished with the cannabis plant hemp seizing pollution and provide the world with more than enough of its energy needs. According to Jack Herer, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, we're not only the founders of our...

...Keyword: Uses for hemp Hemp’s history as a healing herb has been long chronicled throughout time. The first mention of it dates back to ancient Chinese civilization. The first written record of hemp as medicine came in 2737 BC. At that time, Emperor Shen Neng prescribed hemp and marijuana for a range of conditions from gout to childbirth. Its healing properties spread throughout the region, expanding into the Middle East as well as parts of Africa and India. At this time in history, hemp and cannabis tended to blur into one another in written history. However, hemp extended beyond health care. Ancient civilization understood the practical uses for hemp in everything from clothing to tools to food. The infatuation for hemp continued across...

...The World’s Most Understood Crop: Industrial Hemp and its Economic Benefits When most people hear the word hemp the first thing that comes to mind is marijuana. While hemp and marijuana are of the same plant species, Cannabis Sativa, they are different plants with their own chemical makeup. Hemp has been known as one of the world’s greatest agricultural crops of all time with a wide variety of uses. Unfortunately the United States still sees hemp as drug and the manufacturing of hemp is still illegal today. The United States is outlawing one of the most economically beneficial and functional crops of all times because of its cousin marijuana. Hemp was the world’s greatest agricultural crop for more than 1000 years before Christ until 1883 AD (Herer). The manufacturing and cultivation of hemp has been used for thousands of products and many different industries including producing a majority of the world’s fabric, fiber, oil, paper, and even food. The earliest known fabric was made of hemp around 8000 BC (Herer). Ninety percent of all ships' sails from at least the fifth century BC until long after the invention of the steam engines in the mid- to late-19th century were made from hemp (Herer). Many of the ships’ logs, maps, and charts were made on hemp paper from the time of Columbus to the early 1900s (Herer). In the first century AD, the Chinese found that hemp paper lasted 50 to 100 times longer than most preparations of papyrus and that it was 100 times easier and cheaper...

...7,6006 | Marijuana | 07 | Since the 1930’s there have been many debates about hemp and its legalization. There is a lot of propaganda behind marijuana, but if there is one fact that should be known about marijuana it’s that it is the most medicinal plant on our planet. With information provided by Rick Simpson from Phoenix Tears, it is obvious that Hemp is the best medicine ever presented to man. With the information provided by Rick Simpson it is evident that hemp should be legalized for medicinal purposes so people can cure themselves. Rick Simpson is the founder of the Phoenix Tears Foundation and has re-discovered a very effective healing treatment processed from the resin that grows on hemp and created that resin into hemp oil. His hemp oil has brought many terminal patients off of their death beds. Rick’s hemp oil has cured skin conditions, cancer, diabetes, infections, glaucoma, arthritis, chronic pain, burns, ulcers, warts, moles, practically anything to do with mutating cells, migraine headaches, asthma, insomnia, anxiety and depression (RFTC). The oil even helps regulate weight, heals scar tissue, and rejuvenates vital organs (RFTC). This oil can be used topically or digested, for problems such as cancer digesting the oil is the best way to go. Unfortunately due to the disinformation that has been handed down over the years many are in disbelief of the benefactors of hemp, but hemp...

...know that there is a plant strong enough to replace plastic, oil, and building materials; and the same plant has been cultivated for the past 12,000 years, yet it has been classified as a schedule one drug? Since it has been harvested, hemp has become one of the most popular crops ever grown. Our founding fathers including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, all grew hemp on their estates. In the early 20th Century, hemp was outlawed in the United States; even though it had been one of the major crops in the U.S. and was super beneficial. Hemp can be used for building a stronger concrete than we have right now; it is one the most nutritious foods we can harvest today and can yield more than 400 times the amount of paper which we use from cutting down trees on the same land. Hemp can also improve the environment if cotton was substituted for hemp; plus it creates a stronger and more durable fiber. Today hemp is not illegal but we would be better off if it was completely legal and we could start to use hemp as it was suppose to be used. To get a better understanding, let take a look at the impact hemp has had on the world. “For the past twelve thousand years, industrial hemp has been harvested and used throughout almost every nation in the world” (8). “From its beginning, hemp has been used throughout the world for its fiber, seed, and psychoactive effect” (9). “Ancient Chinese techniques of hemp sowing, cultivation, and processing developed rapidly and became...

...“Industrial hemp and marijuana are different varieties of the same species, Cannabis sativa L. In the United States, Cannabis sativa is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance, regardless of its narcotic content, under the Controlled Substances Act as amended.” (USDA 1). U.S. markets for hemp fiber (specialty textiles, paper, and composites) and seed (in food or crushed for oil) are, and will likely remain, small, thin markets. Uncertainty about longrun demand for hemp products and the potential for oversupply discounts the prospects for hemp as an economically viable alternative crop for American farmers. (USDA i). The main reason the hemp market is as described by the USDA is that hemp is illegal to grow in the United States currently. We know this to be the reason because back in WWII the U.S. needed rope, but could no longer trade with Japan and so allowed farmers to grow hemp for the war effort as it is a high-yield, fast-growing crop that makes fine rope. The possession of hemp products is still legal here; the only condition is that it must have be free of THC. However, the amount of THC in industrial hemp is so small that “the only thing you will get from smoking it is a headache.” (Greg Bambaugh). Many people believe and say that the reason it is illegal to grow is due to its similarity to marijuana but, as noted by the first quote, they are different things, and even the USDA knows it; "It's like a Chihuahua versus a Saint Bernard," says David Bronner.

...Hemp, Hemp, Hemp. By: Andy Boustany. Lebanese American University. Hemp, Hemp, Hemp. For many years, Hemp served as an industrial sourcing of filament and oilseed. It has been utilized everywhere on the planet to make a mixture of modern and customer like items. Starting today, around 30 nations develop mechanical hemp as an agrarian product, and for exceptional reason for why it does. It is then sold on the planet’s business sector. However in the states, the handling of hemp is strictly viewed by pill authorization laws. Consequently there is no proper viable domestic production and the states, more often, import it instead of processing it on its own ground. Yet there has been an act called the mechanical Hemp Farming Act of 2013 that picked up major consideration in the past couple of months starting this paper, which might prompt the entryway opening of business growth of hemp in the states. Hemp is a greatly flexible plant and is apparently the most adaptable farming product in the known universe. It ought to be learned about fittingly, completely lawful and developed all over the place. Hemp is a subordinate of the old English word “hænep”. The produces and limbs of the plant are all usually termed hemp, some of which incorporate the produces of strand, oil and even seed. Hemp has experienced phases of refinement to make items like hemp seed nourishments, hemp oil, wax, sap, rope, material, mash and even fuel. Historically speaking, Hemp is one of the oldest...

...Marijuana plays a significant role in America’s population today. According to Ed Rosenthal and Steve Kubby, approximately one third of the United States population uses marijuana or have tried it before. Marijuana also known as weed and cannabis should be legalized in the United States to decrease crime rate, increase job opportunities and increase economical growth. There are many benefits to legalizing marijuana. Legalizing marijuana can decrease the overall crime rate in America. Legalizing marijuana will put less people in prison for possession of the substance. This is helpful to overcrowded prisons because it would open up more cells for criminals with more serious offenses like rape, murder, and robbery. Legalizing marijuana would also force marijuana dealers off the street. Also, allowing police officers to focus on investigating and arresting criminals with serious offenses. According to Sallie Dawson, marijuana was studied and proven to relieve anxiety and depression. Marijuana shows no sign of lung cancer as cigarettes do. It was proven that a person that smoked cigarettes and marijuana is less likely to be diagnosed with lung cancer than one that smokes cigarettes only. It also helps people suffering from aids, cancer, epilepsy and chronic pain. Marijuana does so because it relaxes the body it gives relief from nausea and increases appetite. Marijuana reduces muscle spasms and relief from chronic pain. Since marijuana helps the American people and not...

In the article titled “The Forgotten History of Hemp,” author Jack Herer claims that: Farming only six percent of continental US acreage with hemp could end America’s dependence on fossil fuels. Capable of producing ten tons of biomass per acre in four months without chemical fertilizers, hemp-energy farms could return billions of dollars’ worth of natural resource potential back to the farmers and bring millions of jobs back to America’s heartland. (Herer) The cultivation itself helps farmers, as no chemicals...

...more money than it takes in” (Advise Men, 2008). Through the legalization of Industrial hemp and female marijuana growth, the government could add trillions of dollars to our debt and eliminate it within five years. First, legalizing industrial hemp would alleviate our national debt by trillions of dollars. Second, female Hemp growth in America would gross 43 billion dollars a year. Third, by taxing more harmful drugs, using our own oil and higher taxes we could cut our deficit but not nearly what legalizing all forms of marijuana growth would do. Legalizing the growth of industrial hemp in America would create a new gross national product (GNP). By legalizing hemp we would create a new GNP, which in turn would eliminate our debt. With the ability to make roads, highways, and foundations out of hemp concrete that would last for centuries, we could eliminate road taxes and costly repairs. Bio-diesel made from hemp seed oil creates oxygen when consumed by motor vehicles, instead of producing acid rain and smog clouds. According to Meints, America could eliminate non-biodegradable plastics and cars by reintroducing Henry Ford's 100-year-old dream of building cars made from hemp with a plastic hemp car body that can withstand a blow 10 times greater than steel without denting, weighs one thousand pounds less than steel, hence improving gas mileage, can run on a vegetable oil-based all natural hemp fuel, and is completely biodegradable (Meints, 2007). According to Herer, Randolph...

...they were not wasting energy on tasks that don't fill up their stomach. Additionally, the Cannabis plant was the only one cultivated in a dioecious manner, having separate female and male plants. This is very interesting because it gives an insight into what they were thinking about and how they were using it. There is only one use for the female plant. The earliest known farming culture to use Hemp or Cannabis plants was the Yangshao culture, whose origin goes back to 5.000 B.C. Yangshao was a Neolithic culture that existed extensively along the central Yellow River in China. They flourished mainly in the provinces of Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi, dating to almost 3.000 years B.C. The Yangshao culture produced silk in small amounts, wove hemp and made pottery. They used to wear Hemp based clothing and also domesticated creatures such as pigs and dogs. During its 2.000 years of existence, the economy of the Yangshao was Cannabis-driven. The trading of excess Cannabis with other tribes is easily deduced - it certainly played a major role in the plant’s...

...drug that will make you crazy, has no benefits, and will cause you to hurt the people around you. Before this time for over 200 years cannabis has been used to make everything from paper to cars. Legalizing marijuana will help our nation expand its economy and allow us to provide more from within rather than import from outside sources. Even though marijuana is seen as gateway drug that will lead to the use of harder drugs like heroin or LSD, I believe it should be legalized because medical marijuana has helped sick people where no other pharmaceutical drug could. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years. The oldest known uses have been recorded as far back as 2737 B.C. as medicine by Emperor Shen Neng of China (Advanced Holistich Health, 2013). The Chinese would later use hemp as to make clothes, shoes and rope and even paper. By the sixteenth century hemp was widely distributed in Europe where it was cultivated for fiber and the seeds were cooked with barley or other grains and eaten. In 1537 Discorides named the plant Cannabis sativa and wrote of its use for cordage as well as its medicinal properties [ (Ehrensing, 1998) ]. Back in 1619, the King of England ordered famers to grow cannabis to meet the obligations of a growing economy that used hemp as a product. This was the first law that incorporated cannabis and it was for the good of it. There were several other laws allowing the growth of cannabis over the next 200 years. Hemp was introduced to the United States...
