Introduction of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act
Read More »Hemp is a peaceful solution to the problems of global warming and other environmental issues. The great humanitarian, hero, activist, educator and artist Willie Nelson is one of the wisest people in our society. Nelson has a saying about biofuel, NO WAR REQUIRED. His A PEACEFUL SOLUTION project www.willienelsonpri.com is a collection of ideas about how to solve our problems. At the site you'll find many good ideas for solving our problems. Willie Nelson's biofuel company, when it can run on hemp oil from the plant's seeds, can lead the world in our journey to saving ourselves. Willie Nelson and his daughter wrote the song A PEACEFUL SOLUTION THERE'S A PEACEFUL SOLUTION CALLED A PEACE REVOLUTION NOW LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA THERE'S A WAR AND WE'RE IN IT AND I KNOW WE CAN WIN IT NOW LET'S TAKE BACK AMERICA..... (the full lyrics are posted on their site www.willienelsonpri.com) One step is to change our course now from corn based biofuel to hemp based biofuel. This can be accomplished within a year if we coordinate via a Microsoft Project Manager run out of the Depts. of Agriculture and Energy. Allow family farmers qualified to grow a portion of unused federal land. Crop revenues can not only cover expenses, but create a substantial tax revenue to solve many more social and environmental problems. We can save ourselves. NO WAR REQUIRED.

We are a family of 5 and we own a floor covering supply warehouse in Colorado Springs, Colorado. We had known about Biodiesel for several years but did not have the facility, resources or time to work with it. After Katrina in '05, we knew the country was going to be in big trouble with fuel so we decided that it was time to start working with Biodiesel. We finally had a place and we had the tools to begin working on it. Read More »
Hmmmm, Hemp for victory.... WWII? NORML? CAN? Well I be Dipped in tar baby.... I thought that yous peeps dropped off the planet. Hehehehe J/K. In actuallity everything that I've read from these guys is true: from hemp oils to bio-fuel, paper products to bio-plastics, rope to rastas it is all true.... the reason hemp (mariauajuana) is illegal is more tax issue than medical ones (Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way... History channel documentary from 2004 or 06 ) BUT........ IT IS ILLEGAL! While you are touting the benifits of the cannibis plant consider this, IT MUST STILL BE CULTIVATED! Not the most efficient method to produce a bio-fuel. Now consider the lowly switch grass plant. Grows anywhere without cultivation, drought resistant (cannibis is not), and can produce all the products that your precious cannibis sativia can cheeper and way more efficiently. NOW if you want to make an arguement that cannibis has relevance in the world as a safe, useful, and profitable product, tout its benifits to chemotherapy patients, glaucoma sufferers, and as a safe and natural analgesic. Try the arguement that tobacco is way more harmful to the enviroment and the human body and should be made illegal, mariauajuana legalized, and the tobacco industry given the mariauajuana concession, with its by-products used to increase bio-fuel production, paper production, or just composted and I'll be 100% behind it. But as a plant for bio-fuel production it is found wanting. Even for paper it is more inefficient than bamboo which can make a better weave cloth that cannibis as well. Sorry to rain on the parade guys but go the medical route it makes way more sense and has a proven track record that has been scientificly studied with empirical data that can be quoted. (Available references through the University of California Berkley). Nevertheless it is AN alternative. Just dont use sophistry to belabor the point.

Like Willie Nelson has taught since the 1950's, hemp is a peaceful solution to many of our problems. www.willienelsonpri.com
The policy of food for energy is stupid and possibly evil, one of those designed to fail moves to keep toxic energy in power.
Hemp (not corn) biofuel is an effective tool that we must start using now to solve the problem of global warming. Hemp is four times more efficient than corn as biofuel.
Hemp is one of the "cellulosic technologies" that those in power are pretending not to know about as we get more talk of safe nuclear, clean coal and evermore expensive oil (use less - spend more) as solutions to our energy problems. They are not. Hemp is an effective solution tool for our energy crisis as an excess CO2 remover, clean burning biofuel, and aerates soil up to six feet deep.

"OPINION Biofuels 2.0: It's Time for Congress to Act
Can Biofuels Make or Break Iowa's Future?
Efforts to replace oil with biofuels in the United States are at a critical juncture. Double-digit growth in the production of corn-based ethanol has contributed to a sharp increase in grain and soybean prices while failing to deliver the environmental gains that had been hoped for.
It's time to reduce the incentives for food-based biofuels and accelerate the transition to more sustainable alternatives - the so-called "next-generation" cellulosic technologies, which are expected to become viable in the coming years. "
Earlier this week Congress held hearings on corn based ethanol energy.
What an oxymoron. They made it illegal to grow hemp to be used to remove the cause of global warming, excess CO2, or as clean burning energy. Then they spend money trying to understand why using food for fuel is not a good idea.

Sow blindness
Farm bill would do little to reduce world hunger and much to aggravate it.
Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle - [short quote]
President Bush promises to veto the five-year, $300 billion farm bill before Congress this week. The House and Senate have given him plenty of reasons to do so. The bill is so wrongheaded it's the equivalent of beating swords into plowshares at the outbreak of a war that closely follows a bumper crop.
Even before one gazes upon the merits and demerits of the bill, its cost alone should be seen as prohibitive. With farmers enjoying record high crop prices and income, it is irresponsible to enlarge the federal budget deficit and national debt to pay for crop subsidies."
Congress didn't have to set this up in the first place. Last year's Industrial Hemp Farming Act was lost in committee since 4/20/07. If it had passed, we'd be solving global warming now with large scale hemp growing, like what happened in the old Hemp For Victory program.
Toxic fertilizers are used to grow corn. The Gulf of Mexico has a huge dead zone where the Mississippi dumps in with the toxic run off of the corn fields.
Richard M. Davis of the USA Hemp Museum has a book with an idea of using the old WWII HEMP FOR VICTORY program to solve the problem of global warming. His site is www.hempmuseum.org .
In his book HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION he shows how, if we would shift to hemp biofuel, grown by family farmers on unused federal land and large scale burnt areas, we'd be utilizing a biomass champion. Hemp can help solve the problems of global warming and other environmental issues, like water pollution from paper making. The crops available after growth and oil can help heal the housing market with the inexpensive building material Hempstone.
Jack Herer, in his book THE EMPEROR WEARS NO CLOTHES has a chapter on Energy, Environment and Commerce posted http://www.jackherer.com/chapter09.html
Since hemp is a weed it's easy to grow and modern times have given us good harvest and processing equipment.
Hemp is a wind pollinated plant that can grow up to 4 crops a year. Hemp's large root system aerates soil up to six feet deep, cleaning toxins.
Large amounts of hemp foods can be available on short notice in case the bees don't return, helping avoid starvation dramas.
Hemp is a natural resource material that we can use to boost the economy with small and large business opportunities, restore family farms, and provide many job opportunities.
Given the speed that the ice caps are melting, weather changing, food prices rising, etc., I don't think Mother Earth wants to wait for another election to get started. We need to get hemped now. Please share your ideas on how.
