Hemp in the United States Department of Agriculture's NAL Collection

Hemp has played a vital role in the development of humanity since we first got here. From ancient medicine to World War II's Hemp For Victory program, hemp has served as a willing ally in the fight between good and evil.

The two documentaries listed since January, 1995 by the USDA in their National Agricultural Library on hemp were found on Youtube. "Billion Dollar Crop" from 1994 and "Hemp For Victory" made in 1942 (though they reference a later edition).

For an update on how to use hemp to fix our modern economy read HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE TRILLION DOLLAR CROP by USA Hemp Museum founder and curator Richard M. Davis.

Here's the two pieces, USDA listings and documentaries posted below.  Enjoy your HempUcation.

Abstract: Although hemp, or cannabis fibre, in its non-toxic form has been used successfully in the production of horse-bedding, building material, clothing fabric, and paper-making, it is a prohibited plant. Doctors, agronomists, farmers and manufacturers comment on its value, especially to the Australian agricultural economy. Archival film supports the points made.

Hemp For Victory: A Peaceful Solution To Gulf Oil Crisis

The Lord has a sense of humor, really. Turns out a plant that is now illegal holds the key to solving the oil crisis in the Gulf.

From what Willie Nelson calls A Peaceful Solution, nature's hemp plant, we have a full arsenal of tools in this weed's various grades of THC to fight this crisis in fields as vast as medical, industrial, environmental, economic and agricultural.

The potential consequences from this environmental crisis in the Gulf of Mexico and beyond are way too precise to ignore. 

Two important Time 4 Hemp shows, broadcast on the great  American Freedom Radio, the type that can save our lives, literally.  The Time4Hemp shows aired on Monday June 21 and Tuesday, June 22nd, each featuring one of two hemp heroes, Chris Conrad and Richard M. Davis . On the programs they discuss the environmental crisis in the Gulf and beyond with Casper Leitch, co-hosted by hemp humanitarian Joint Host: Kelly Kriston, owner of KDK Distributors on how hemp can help solve the problems.

 

Hemp is a no brainer in dealing with this oil crisis. Since the problem is too many toxins in the environment, the solution is to stop the inflow and clean up the mess.  The hemp plant has a multitude of applications to the problem of the oil industry messing up the Gulf of Mexico and the lives of her citizens. Consider hemp as the illegal solution. The good news is a simple Executive Order signed by the president ending hemp prohibition. As citizens we declare the need for this century's Hemp For Victory program, using the original as the program's nucleus.

How? Here's a few ways for openers?

Hemp medicine, which assists with respiratory and digestive problems helps deal with the toxic chemicals people are being exposed to like benzene and methane. 

Hemp is a wind pollinated plant that has a short growing season.  Hemp foods can help replace the whole in the food supply caused by not eating fish from the Gulf or possibly the east coast by the time hurricane season finishes. 

Hemp's environment benefits are deep as its up to 6' root system aerates soil and converts many toxins into wood. Hemp should be planted in all toxic areas to help clean the soil.

Hemp building materials are strong, i.e. hemp plastic is 10 times stronger than steel according to Henry Ford. A company that specializes is HempPlastic.com , a material that should be considered for use to plug up the underwater volcanoes.

 

Industrial hemp can help build homes in the event we have to relocate large populations on unused federal land because of  coastal cities rendered uninhabitable. An exciting hemp tool is concrete made from hemp.  A good site for more information and purchase is Hempcrete.com

We have 4 blog entries by the USA Hemp Museum, www.hempmuseum.org of initial ideas on how hemp can be applied to this oil spill (volcano).  The museum's founder and curator, Richard M. Davis. Davis is a leader of the groundswell of support for a new HEMP FOR VICTORY program based on the successful World War II program.


Below are a short series of research from the Museum, with much more to follow. Please add your thoughts as we re-institute the Hemp For Victory program.

Health Alert: Move Away From The Gulf of Mexico

Benzene, methane and other toxic chemicals are in the air and water in the Gulf. Hemp medicine can help, yet, we still need to be moving large populations away from that toxic area.

Call-in Number: (512) 879 - 3805
Time: Weeknights, 11:00 pm - Midnight CST

Casper Leitch got involved in the hemp movement in 1990 and launched the cable television series 'Time 4 Hemp' on January 5, 1991. It was the first television series in the history of broadcasting to focus strictly on the topic of cannabis, thus giving Casper the dubious honor of being known as 'The Father Of Marijuana Television'. He was a participant in the United States Government Funded 'UCLA Smoked Marijuana Study' headed by Dr. Donald Tashkin and is the first person in the world have television filmed footage of themselves smoking legal marijuana in a Government funded lab.

Over the years, 'Time 4 Hemp' has remained on the cutting edge of the Marijuana Movement by opening the Time4Hemp.com website in 1999 and being one of the first sites to offer free audio and video downloads. On July 4, 2007, the first segment of the 'Time 4 Hemp - TODAY PotCast' was released and six months later, the 'Time 4 Hemp - MUSIC PotCast' made its debut. Both now rank in the number one and number two spots when the word 'hemp' is typed into the iTunes search engine.

Past guests on the series include Dr. Tim Leary; Willie Nelson; Congressman Barney Frank; Keith Stroup (founder of NORML); David Boaz (Co-founder of the CATO Institute); Kevin Zeese (Co-founder of the Drug Policy Foundation); Ethan Nadelmann (Founder of the Drug Policy Alliance); Judge James Gray; Marc Emery (founder of Cannabis Culture Magazine); Ed Rosenthal (Co-founder of High Times Magazine); Steve Hager (editor of High Times Magazine); and Eddy Lepp (Hero of the Marijuana Movement) and Richard M. Davis (USA Hemp Museum).

RUN FROM THE CURE - Full Version

Finally in its entirety, the should-be-award-winning documentary by Christian Laurette.

The above webeo is about Rick Simpson, the man who rediscovered the cure for cancer and shared it with as many people as he can.

Recently while traveling from Canada Rick had his house raided of the hemp medicine needed by terminally ill patients. He tore himself away from his heavy healing work to pick up the the Cannabis Cup Award in Amsterdam and due to this horrible turn of events many people will probably die without their medicine.
