This is the first of a series of posts on presidential candidates and their positions on hemp found on webeo (web video).
Here's a few pieces we found on Senator Barack Obama concerning hemp.
Senator Obama should visit the USA Hemp Museum, and learn from the Museum's curator Richard M. Davis how hemp is the real change required to save our nation and the world.
Richard's written one of those "Read this like your life depends on it, it does!" books called HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION which explains how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming.
Barack Obama On Medical Marijuana
Since learning is change, we are confident he will learn about hemp as medicine, the peace pipe as a solution to violence, hemp as an environmental champion that removes excess CO2 from the air and aerates soil up to six feet deep as it draws toxins as strong as nuclear waste (check Chernobyl and hemp). At least Senator Obama has an open mind on the subject and is committed to solving problems.

Barack Obama "I inhaled frequently" "That was the point"

Unconditional hemp legalization would create more positive change than any campaign promise made so far in any area.

Medical Marijuana Patient Protection Act (Introduced in House)
THANK YOU!!!!!
"H.R.5842 Title: To provide for the medical use of marijuana in accordance with the laws of the various States. Sponsor: Rep Frank, Barney [MA-4] (introduced 4/17/2008) Cosponsors (4) Latest Major Action: 4/17/2008 Referred to House committee. Status: Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce."
What does a medical decision has to do with Energy and Commerce, though Health is part of that structure? What about looking at health from the perspective of effective healing in addition to money? Medical hemp is a medical issue and should be referred to the Subcommitte On Health working from just the facts.
The USA Hemp Museum has volumes of information on how hemp heals, some of it posted in earlier articles on this blog and on the site.
We're grateful for whatever legislation gets through so the American people can once again be free to safely interact with nature.
