Dear FRiend.... HEMP is cannabis. It is NOT, by definition, THC psychoactive containing. Rather than bombard you with the biochemistry (my field)... suggest you read up on it.
You might find it interesting that the original controller of the Press, Mr. Citizen Kane himself, William Randolph Hearst— was responsible for aligning hemp with the scourge he loved to print stories about... marijuana (and the jazz musicians).
Reason?: Hearst’s vast newspaper empire utilized pulp paper wood/lumber sources and there were competitive newspapers coming out in HIS monopoly that were printed on the much cheaper HEMP paper stock, usually acquired from Canada (along with real brand hooch, btw). He used his political influence to both print absolutely false stories about “high on hemp” and also to change the Pure Food and Drug Act to beef up the status of Hemp as a “narcotic”.
Hemp farmers in the US are gearing up to supply a THC free supply of hemp plant fiber... for clothing, paper, cloth, and a host of other useful products (including ship’s hawsers, as in WWII). Specific legal seed sources of the genetically specific hemp plant.
Also— and this IS a breakthrough as a drug, the intense interest in the non-psychoactive cannabinoid, Cannabidiol, as both an anti-seizure agent component as well as a effective NON-opioid pain agent. Peer reviewed Journal trials in neurology and in post operative pain. The Israelis have patented a genetic manipulated hemp that produced NO, zero THC and massive amounts of CBD oil. You could smoke true hemp all day and never get high. You might get cancer though.
Please research. “Medical marijuana” WITH THC IS a Scam— and totally agree with you. And that— true marijuana is being sponsored by Big Tobacco, to hook us all on something else that is even more carcinogenic than tobacco. True that.
A good end to an a-hole’s monopoly from years ago. Citizen Cocaine, and let’s not forget— the man who manufactured the attack on the USS Maine and the Spanish American War.
That is the dope industry line. There is no therapeutic benefit ever concluded by the FDA for dope, Zero. They were smoking rope in the 60’s. This is a mistake — it will quickly be seen as spreading dope use all over the country. The fake myth put out by dope heads that want to grow this stuff is breath taking. There is THC in this stuff BIG TIME and everyone knows it. My arguments were rejected by total denial of the narcotic user and propagandist for the weed industry. Do we now subsidize the dope farmer for bad weed weather now? What a crock. This is part of our slide to Gamora— the greatest since we let the government run the lottery numbers racket. So decadent.I don’t like it and I will never accept it.
