The Hemp News Update Volume IV, Number 6 July 27, 2009
Dear Sheree,
Sometimes I get a little frustrated with the slow progress bringing back industrial hemp farming and processing to the U.S., but then I start going through the news clips to put the Hemp News Update together, and I start to feel better with all the encouraging news. On that note, Governor Ted Kulongoski has not yet signed SB 676, the Oregon hemp faming bill, but the news reports are hopeful that he will. Please check out this KATU Video for the latest on that.Last Friday, Vote Hemp Director Eric Lineback was a guest on the radio show "Charlotte Talks" on WFAE in North Carolina. Click here to read the official blog post on the show and comment on it, as well as listen to it online.Over in Bath, UK they are building a BaleHaus out of straw and hemp. You can click here to watch it being built on the "Strawcam" and click here to download the BaleHaus data sheet (PDF file 308K) which has a wonderful set of pictures. We should be building houses like this here in America with locally-sourced materials.Currently, Vote Hemp has active Action Alerts for the residents of Maine, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon and Vermont. We are asking that you write your representatives in Washington and ask them to become co-sponsors of HR 1866, the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009. There is a general alert for voters from the rest of the U.S as well. Please take action and write today!Finally, please also make a contribution to Vote Hemp today to help us continue fixing the situation here in the U.S.We need and truly appreciate your support!Best Regards,Tom Murphy

Oregon to Allow Farmers to Grow Hemp
"Oregon is on the verge of becoming the first Western state to allow farmers to grow industrial hemp. A spokesman for Gov. Ted Kulongoski says he plans to sign Oregon's new hemp bill into law. Oregon will then become the seventh state to allow farmers to grow hemp," reports Anita Kissée of KATU TV-2 in Portland, OR about SB 676, the hemp farming bill.

July 16, 2009In the Three Little Pigs fable, houses made from straw were prone to being blown down with a puff of air. But a team of scientists believe they could be the building blocks of our future homes.Researchers at the University of Bath said today they will develop an environmentally-friendly 'BaleHaus' made of straw and ... Cannabis. They will construct the bale and hemp cladding panels on campus this summer.

June 22, 2009As far as Keith Bolton is concerned, the future of farming on the Northern Rivers lies with industrial hemp.Dr. Bolton and his farming partner, Kenrick Riley, have recently harvested their first commercial hemp crop at Mr. Riley's property at Jiggi.The pair hold two of the three commercial [hemp] licences issued by the NSW Department of Primary Industries since it became legal to grow the crop. The other licence is held by Klara Marosszeky in the Nimbin region, who is focused on developing hemp manufacturing.

Hemp Bill Clears Legislature with Little Opposition
Capital Press
July 2, 2009SALEM — After some jocular testimony, the Oregon House on Monday, June 29, gave its stamp of approval to a bill allowing possession and production of industrial hemp.The bill, which previously passed the Senate, now goes to the desk of Gov. Ted Kulongoski. His spokeswoman, Anna Richter Taylor, said the governor didn't know whether he would sign it.Even with the governor's signature, hemp production will remain illegal in Oregon under federal law.
The Register-Guard
July 20, 2009SALEM — Oregon is about to become the first Western state to permit its farmers to grow industrial hemp.But there are a couple of problems to be confronted before Oregon becomes a Hemptopia by the Pacific. It's still an illegal crop, according to the federal government.[More...]

US: Marijuana Is Gateway Drug for Two Debates
For every action there is an equal yet opposite reaction. This was proven by "Newton" many years ago. That is why we are given "reasoning" which is supposed to
give us the opportunity to study the pro's and con's of any given situation that we are about to undertake.
Smoking Marijuana or using it in any other form should also fall under this rule. It is a fact that a person can

The section dealing with the ancient Hebrews and Cannabis is now up and
running. If you see any mis-spell words please let me.
http://antiquecannabisbook.com/chap2B/History.htm
Due to the nature of the subject, some form of [equal access time] will be
made available to those museum members with different opinions on the
matter.
The section on Cannabis and INDIA has been set back do to technical problems
The Jesses section will most likely be running in a week or two from now.

OLD TIME [Reefer Madness Era] RADIO update:
For those of you who don't know, we suspect that these recording have the
voices of many of the Reefer Madness Eras greatest voices. And their
babbles can be of some use in ending the present anti-medical cannabis
laws.
The following E-mail was sent to us a day or so ago:
"Hinds, Stuart L." <hindss@umkc.edu>
Mr. Garrett and Mr. Hodges:
Once again, the problem lies in Mr. Garrett's intent to distribute the
files. There is a significant legal difference between broadcasting a
file and distributing it. Mr. Garret, since you stated your intent was to
provide copies for Museum members, we cannot honor your original request.
What we can do, however, is create .ram files of the recordings and link
to those files from our Library catalog record. That way you both and any
Museum member can listen to the broadcasts at any time, and can link to
them from any Web site. This seems to be a reasonable solution to your
desire to provide access to the files and our desire to adhere to the
strictures of copyright.
We should have the files linked from our catalog records in the next 7-10
working days. I will let you know when that work has been completed. For
your convenience, here are links to the catalog records:

Mr. Hodges, I apologize that I did not respond to your email earlier – I
only received it as an addendum to Mr. Garret's message of the 23rd.
Sometimes the University's spam filter is a bit overzealous.

GATEWOOD GALBRAITH AND DEA RILEY ANNOUNCE RUN FOR KENTUCKY GOVERNORSHIP
22-Jul-09; 01:25:05 AM
GATEWOOD GALBRAITH AND DEA RILEY ANNOUNCE RUN FOR KENTUCKY GOVERNORSHIP
WE MUST START NOW TO WIN THIS ELECTION!
On July 4th, Atty. Gatewood Galbraith and Dea Riley announced their intent to run for the Governorship of KENTUCKY.
Once more we have the chance to elect a educated, caring, and motivated citizen who has lived here all of his life and fought continuously for the rights of the people of Kentucky.
He said that this would be his last "run" because he will be retiring from politics after this election if he does not win the vote. He also said we need 400,000 votes to indeed win this election.
His no-nonsense approach to leading the state includes REAL reform of Education,(" Our C and D students deserve the opportunity be trained into employability also"), Health Care, Environment, ("we must insist on reclaiming the land for future use and restoring the hills and streams to their natural state"), and putting the vote to the people as far as the "Casino" issue is concerned.
This man has earned the right to run for the Governor's office. He has worked long and hard for over 20 years on all the issues which affect Kentuckians. He is a very intelligent, motivated and educated man who I believe, given the chance, can restore this state to its own natural beauty both literally and figuratively.
In my lifetime I have yet to see one politician in Kentucky that, in my opinion was not corrupted.
The Cancer rates in Kentucky can be gauged by the zip code that you live in. The corruption and mismanagement of taxes and Federal funding is outrageous. The healthcare makes you sick, literally.
We live in a state full of Coal Ash Ponds which are causing increased illnesses.
The violent crime and dangerous drugs such as Meth and Crack Cocaine are rampant. Yet we continue to keep Cannabis/Hemp illegal.
I will be voting for Gatewood in the election.
I encourage everyone to view http://www.GATEWOOD.com and decide for yourself who will give this state its best chance at survival.
Incidentally, Gov. Brashear and Mayor Jerry Abramson of Louisville announced THEIR run for the Governor's office this week. It was all over the news yet I have yet to see a media announcement on the news (on any channel) that is reporting Galbraith and Riley’s campaign. I wonder why that is?
Wow. Do we really have a choice here? What have either one of them done for this state's middle class citizens. Not to mention the ones of us who are now unemployed, underemployed, uninsured, and unappreciated!
PLEASE VIEW THE LETTER OF INTENT LOCATED AT GATEWOOD.COM AND CAN BE VIEWED VIA THIS LINK.

Are Senator Bunning and Senator McConnell representing your interests in the health care debate raging in Congress? Now that the Senate is back from recess, they're buckling down for the summer session – and they're reviewing five separate health care bills at the moment.
Whatever the final bill looks like, your interests need to be in there. Tell Senator Bunning and Senator McConnell that you want a public plan option in health care reform »
President Obama has been fighting for a public option in health reform this year, and for good reason: without quality, affordable coverage, health reform will not be true reform. The economy has been tough on folks in Kentucky – and the rest of America. We can't continue with a healthcare system that routinely denies coverage and necessary medical treatment.
Please join us. Let Senator Bunning and Senator McConnell know how important health care reform is to you and your family. Please sign the petition today »

NEED HELP -
I've got some new sections now ready for the website on the Graphical
History of Cannabis section -- www.antiquecannabisbook.com/history
and now (yet once again) need some more proof readers
But I need to warn the reader that some very controversial subjects are
now going to be covered. And some of the material may not be to anyone's
liking. EXAMPLE:
- Did Jesus Christ make use of Medical Cannabis in his healing ministry?
- Did Noah take Hemp seeds on the ark? Did Noah use Cannabis.
- What about the Ancient Hebrews?
I've already have the section on the Ancient Hebrews ready, but would like
someone to look over the spelling etc. [after that I plan to take a
print-out to a local Jewish place to see if they can spot any errors etc.
]
The same thing will be done with the section on Jesus etc., the Catholic
church etc. . . . Please help if you can, --- As anyone can tell, I've
really have a problem with bad spell etc. But again, the subjects are
going to be quite controversial in some areas.

Perspective: An Assay for MMJ quality control
Perspective: An Assay for Marijuana quality control
=====================================
I would like more information on this subject.
But lets put this into perspective.
Humans have been using Marijuana for quite possibly thousands of years without resorting to assays. Currently a underused argument for Re-Legalization is the fact that the Black Market -- as it is totally unregulated -- makes the possibility of terrorist contamination a very real concern. Already we have seen reports, mostly from Europe, discussing the spraying of glass particals on hydro to make it appear that the Cannabis has a greater concentration of glands. Unfortunately smoking glass infested weed can certainly lead to respiratory problems. But what if terrorists started genetically modifying it in some way to cause a "slow virus" such as aids? Guess it is not convenient to consider this?
No the government only wants you to think about terrorism in ways that benefit the government: such as impinging on your freedoms; tapping your phones, algorhthmically going through your emails etc. Thinking about terrorists introducing genetic modifications into Marijuana might be just too good an argument for Re-Legalizing it. So therefore the Mainstream Media won't discuss it. Just like they won't discuss how all the nano particle thermite was found all around the World Trade Center in the aftermath of 911. Just too inconvenient a truth?
Secondly we now have these scumbags from MPP and DPA pushing what I like to call a "Government Marijuana Dispensary" (GMD) program whereby no one will ultimately be able to grow accept the government through highly regulated facilities. Even Kampia talks about regulating potency which makes absolutely no sense given the behign nature of Cannabis. You cannot overdose smoking Marijuana you stupid SOB. And begining in early 2009 shows like "Marijuana Inc" have been coming out in an attempt to "sell" and manufacture consent for such a GMD program. These things are orchestrated in the media, they don't just happen so uniformly by chance. For more on this see Noam Chomsky's "The Manufacture of Consent" or Google on Bernaise, the relative to Freud who turned this concept into a science.
For years I have envisoned assays that would show the relative concentrations of all THC, CBN etc. components of a given sample of Marijuana. I'm quite sure this would pave the way toward discerning which varieties are best for Glaucoma, MS etc. But I don't want the government to become my new "drug dealer" after the same government has been telling me how dangerous Marijuana is and then charging me "street price" plus $50 an ounce for the privilage of smoking government Marijuana. This is bullshit and both Kampia and Nadleman should be read the riot act on this.
Since the 1960's every activist I have know has been fighting for the right to "Grow our own." I would rather see a system similar to the programs in the 1960's where you could send a sample to a lab, anonomously, to test for contaminents our government was putting in there at the time (e.g., paraquat, a herbicide). Accept in this case you would also get a comprehensive list of possible contaminents along with a chart showing the THC percent and a chart showing the concentration of each of the 240 Cannabinoid analogues in the submitted sample. It might also be nice to have a test to insure that the plants have not be genetically modified in a non-Mendelian manner (e.g., like Monsanto's Death Seeds that have genetically modified pesticides and resistance to Roundup).
And please tell me Kampia and Nadleman (and of couse Sors): why should we not be able to grow our own?: Why should we be paying $300 to $500 and ounce when we could grow it for free outside or under lamps for $25 an ounce? Doesnt't it seem more likely that such a model would allow the sick cheap medicine and put the Mexican Drug Cartels out of business?
How come these questions are not being fielded by Anderson Cooper and Lisa Dinga Ling?
First of all if Marijuana becomes legal I don't think we will have to worry about our friends contaminating the weed that they most assuredly are also smoking themselves. And while I would like to know the potency of a given variety, grown under a particular growers method, the last thing I want is Obama telling me the upper limit to the THC in that variety. I mean you can currently by 180 proof Rum at any liqour store. Has anyone suggested an upper limit to the potency of Rum. I mean pure Ethyl alcohol is just 200 Proof and it is impossible to get it any stronger than that. And alcohol will kill you if your drink a fifth or two. I gauruntee it.
The absurdity is further exemplified by Obama's recent move to regulate Tobacco through the FDA. This makes no damn sense. It is the Pulonium 240 in the Phosphate fertilizer that causes 95% of the lung cancers in America: and that is according to Sir Everet Koop, who was once our Surgeon General under Reagan. The answer is not regulation under the FDA which has allowed numerous dangerous drugs to be sold to unsuspecting American Citizens. Phen Phen anybody? The answer is to get the damn Pulonium 240 out of the damn Tobbacco. The FDA is nothing more than a whore for the Pharmeceutical Industry. Is that so difficult to understand?
And yet American accept this bullshit like so many unsuspecting sheep. Stop acting like sheep damn it.
Wake up my fellow activists. Both MPP (Kampia) and Nadleman (DPA) are mere stooges for George Soros who is also into GM crops and a slew of other crimes against human kind in general. And a lot of Rappers are up to their eyeballs with the ghetto drug gangs that are dependant on Marijuana Prohibtion to make a living. Yet at the same time they are turning their neighborhoods into war zones. Just look at the number of children getting killed in Chicago for instance. 99% of them are black. Does anyone accept me give a damn about this? The gang bangers don't need prohibition they need real jobs. And stopping all immigration just might create some of those jobs. Just food for thought.
And the sad thing is that if we actually got off our asses Marijuana could be legal by years end by calling for a special session of Congress to eliminate Marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and withdrawing from all UN Drug accords. This is not rocket science and there are so many other important battles that need to be fought to preserve the liberites that our forefathers had sacrificed for our sake. I would say we owe both them and ourselves the effort to completely legalize Marijuana IMMEDIATELY. None of these bullshit compromised solutions such as what we hear coming from MPP and DPA. These groups are pulling a "bait and switch" on all of us. Please do not donate another dime to either organization.
Wake up.
The better solution is the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization. More articles too come, however, I doubt any of you could absorb what already exists at the following link in less than a few days. This means reading the articles, watching the videos and reading the additional citiations. Finally, it means comparing MERP to whatever model is out there to challenge it. I'm telling you MERP may not be "the way" but it is a far "better way" than a GMD program.
Smoke yourself a doobie and get to reading. Here is what you need to know:
The MERP Model for Re-Legalization will destroy the Mexican Drug Cartels and much, much more. Please visit and post the following link far and wide. This subweb is both for understanding MERP and implementing MERP. We need everyones help on this. Get on the mailing list now! Let's Re-Legalize Marijuana in 2009 World Wide.
MERP Headquarters
The Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy Project (MRPP) = "MERP"
http://www.newagecitizen.com/MERP.htm
Let the tribes come together in 2009. Lets tell Obama in no uncertain terms that we demand Marijuana Re-Legalization whereby all personal cultivation is protected from ALL taxation, regulation or other government interference. The plant belongs to the people. It should never be controlled by a government that has put us in jail for over 70 years for smoking and cultivating Marijuana. And what I have just described is essentially the MERP Model.
Let us agree on at least one thing:
The Government is NOT going to become our Drug Dealer.
Yours in Peace and Freedom,

Guess it is not convenient to consider this?
No the government only wants you to think about terrorism in ways that benefit the government: such as impinging on your freedoms; tapping your phones, algorhthmically going through your emails etc. Thinking about terrorists introducing genetic modifications into Marijuana might be just too good an argument for Re-Legalizing it. So therefore the Mainstream Media won't discuss it. Just like they won't discuss how all the nano particle thermite was found all around the World Trade Center in the aftermath of 911. Just too inconvenient a truth?
Secondly we now have these scumbags from MPP and DPA pushing what I like to call a "Government Marijuana Dispensary" (GMD) program whereby no one will ultimately be able to grow accept the government through highly regulated facilities. Even Kampia talks about regulating potency which makes absolutely no sense given the behign nature of Cannabis. You cannot overdose smoking Marijuana you stupid SOB. And begining in early 2009 shows like "Marijuana Inc" have been coming out in an attempt to "sell" and manufacture consent for such a GMD program. These things are orchestrated in the media, they don't just happen so uniformly by chance. For more on this see Noam Chomsky's "The Manufacture of Consent" or Google on Bernaise, the relative to Freud who turned this concept into a science.
For years I have envisoned assays that would show the relative concentrations of all THC, CBN etc. components of a given sample of Marijuana. I'm quite sure this would pave the way toward discerning which varieties are best for Glaucoma, MS etc. But I don't want the government to become my new "drug dealer" after the same government has been telling me how dangerous Marijuana is and then charging me "street price" plus $50 an ounce for the privilage of smoking government Marijuana. This is bullshit and both Kampia and Nadleman should be read the riot act on this.
Since the 1960's every activist I have know has been fighting for the right to "Grow our own." I would rather see a system similar to the programs in the 1960's where you could send a sample to a lab, anonomously, to test for contaminents our government was putting in there at the time (e.g., paraquat, a herbicide). Accept in this case you would also get a comprehensive list of possible contaminents along with a chart showing the THC percent and a chart showing the concentration of each of the 240 Cannabinoid analogues in the submitted sample. It might also be nice to have a test to insure that the plants have not be genetically modified in a non-Mendelian manner (e.g., like Monsanto's Death Seeds that have genetically modified pesticides and resistance to Roundup).
And please tell me Kampia and Nadleman (and of couse Sors): why should we not be able to grow our own?: Why should we be paying $300 to $500 and ounce when we could grow it for free outside or under lamps for $25 an ounce? Doesnt't it seem more likely that such a model would allow the sick cheap medicine and put the Mexican Drug Cartels out of business?
How come these questions are not being fielded by Anderson Cooper and Lisa Dinga Ling?
First of all if Marijuana becomes legal I don't think we will have to worry about our friends contaminating the weed that they most assuredly are also smoking themselves. And while I would like to know the potency of a given variety, grown under a particular growers method, the last thing I want is Obama telling me the upper limit to the THC in that variety. I mean you can currently by 180 proof Rum at any liqour store. Has anyone suggested an upper limit to the potency of Rum. I mean pure Ethyl alcohol is just 200 Proof and it is impossible to get it any stronger than that. And alcohol will kill you if your drink a fifth or two. I gauruntee it.
The absurdity is further exemplified by Obama's recent move to regulate Tobacco through the FDA. This makes no damn sense. It is the Pulonium 240 in the Phosphate fertilizer that causes 95% of the lung cancers in America: and that is according to Sir Everet Koop, who was once our Surgeon General under Reagan. The answer is not regulation under the FDA which has allowed numerous dangerous drugs to be sold to unsuspecting American Citizens. Phen Phen anybody? The answer is to get the damn Pulonium 240 out of the damn Tobbacco. The FDA is nothing more than a whore for the Pharmeceutical Industry. Is that so difficult to understand?
And yet American accept this bullshit like so many unsuspecting sheep. Stop acting like sheep damn it.
Wake up my fellow activists. Both MPP (Kampia) and Nadleman (DPA) are mere stooges for George Soros who is also into GM crops and a slew of other crimes against human kind in general. And a lot of Rappers are up to their eyeballs with the ghetto drug gangs that are dependant on Marijuana Prohibtion to make a living. Yet at the same time they are turning their neighborhoods into war zones. Just look at the number of children getting killed in Chicago for instance. 99% of them are black. Does anyone accept me give a damn about this? The gang bangers don't need prohibition they need real jobs. And stopping all immigration just might create some of those jobs. Just food for thought.
And the sad thing is that if we actually got off our asses Marijuana could be legal by years end by calling for a special session of Congress to eliminate Marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act and withdrawing from all UN Drug accords. This is not rocket science and there are so many other important battles that need to be fought to preserve the liberites that our forefathers had sacrificed for our sake. I would say we owe both them and ourselves the effort to completely legalize Marijuana IMMEDIATELY. None of these bullshit compromised solutions such as what we hear coming from MPP and DPA. These groups are pulling a "bait and switch" on all of us. Please do not donate another dime to either organization.
Wake up.
The better solution is the MERP Model for Marijuana Re-Legalization. More articles too come, however, I doubt any of you could absorb what already exists at the following link in less than a few days. This means reading the articles, watching the videos and reading the additional citiations. Finally, it means comparing MERP to whatever model is out there to challenge it. I'm telling you MERP may not be "the way" but it is a far "better way" than a GMD program.
Smoke yourself a doobie and get to reading. Here is what you need to know:
The MERP Model for Re-Legalization will destroy the Mexican Drug Cartels and much, much more. Please visit and post the following link far and wide. This subweb is both for understanding MERP and implementing MERP. We need everyones help on this. Get on the mailing list now! Let's Re-Legalize Marijuana in 2009 World Wide.
MERP Headquarters
The Marijuana Re-Legalization Policy Project (MRPP) = "MERP"
http://www.newagecitizen.com/MERP.htm
Let the tribes come together in 2009. Lets tell Obama in no uncertain terms that we demand Marijuana Re-Legalization whereby all personal cultivation is protected from ALL taxation, regulation or other government interference. The plant belongs to the people. It should never be controlled by a government that has put us in jail for over 70 years for smoking and cultivating Marijuana. And what I have just described is essentially the MERP Model.
Let us agree on at least one thing:
The Government is NOT going to become our Drug Dealer.
Yours in Peace and Freedom,
