Barack Obama on Hemp / Marijuana

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.

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

One Hemp Bill In The Great 8

If you know Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Chris Dodd, Barack Obama, Maurice Hinchey and any other pro hemp person in congress, consider asking them to please present one Hemp Act in 2008. This would have a better chance of passing than our past strategy of industrial, medical, etc.

Why? Because in 2007 we had the Industrial Hemp Farming Act and the Hinchey Medical Marijuana Amendment. One was lost in committee since 4/20/07 and the other was voted down. Another year wasted when we could be growing crops to support humanity and the environment.

It is time to stop acting like fools and legalize hemp now. Living by the rules of dead people are producing like results. The time to stop killing ourselves is now.

An illusion hemp advocates have been working under is that industrial hemp, medical hemp and hemp as a recreational drug are different things.

In truth, they are different grades of the same plant, hemp.

• We've made part of nature, hemp, illegal and wonder why we have a problem with the environment.
• We've made the hemp peace pipe illegal and wonder why we have a problem violence and war.
• We've made an easily renewable plant resource material illegal to grow and wonder why we have a problem with our economy.
• We've made inexpensive, effective hemp medicine illegal and wonder why we have a health care crisis.

Medicine is an industry. If you don't believe me, be broke, uninsured and sick at the same time and see how much medicine is an industry.

So is leisure an industry, as demonstrated by the town of Las Vegas.

This "separate the hemp plant" strategy creates 3 times as much scattered work to get the courts out of the fields. Divide and conquer.

The solution is to unify and propose one hemp bill in the Great 8. One hemp bill, or a nature re-legalization bill, would remove all unreasonable restrictions of human interaction with plants. It would also eliminate the expensive, duplicate work that has to be done to get a bill passed.

In unity is strength.
