There is alot more to this. I only watched part one, and I do not believe the diabetes part. I know too much to the contrary, but, they are generally right about alot of things.

It is not just the drug companies who made it illegal, it was the oil companies as well. After the drugs are extracted, the fibers can be used for textiles, even plastics.

The hemp oil can be used to replace several petroleum derivitaves. And business is business.

Greed has been around for a long time.

Interesting to note, some of the healthiest people I know are pot smokers. One of them just lost a job over it, he saw no reason to go to rehab for something like this. He refused. There are other jobs.

I'll have to check out the rest of it, but I have a pretty good idea what it will be. Some claims are false of course, pot, hemp oil or who knows is not going to cure diabetes. I don't know about cancer but some forms maybe. No one substance will cure all cancer because cancer does not exist. Cancer is a name given to a number of different types of abnormal cell growth. There are too many different type for any one cure. It is that simple.

I do not disbelieve it completely, but I also do not believed it completely. And there is another point. Sometimes the human body actually heals itself (believe it or not) and the cure is sometimes attributed to a substance erroneously.

However I do not say that there are no benefits, I would just like a clearer definition of exactly what those benefits are. If I am to start boiling $300 bags of pot, I need to know a bit more.

I almost joined NORML a long time ago, but I did not agree completely. It is my stance that I have the right to take any substance into my body that I choose, for any reason I think valid, even if it is simply to catch a buzz. They never had a right to make it illegal, but then they do what they want. When a group comes along sharing my view on the subject I will surely join.

Industrial hemp is certainly a plant that needs to be re-examined but this claim is just good ole fashion quackery. THC has been studied and it definitely doesn't cure cancer no matter what concentration you use.

I have a t-shirt I bought in Sechelt, BC that is 60% hemp. Love it. Beautiful fabric. I use hemp seed oil in my soaps and on my salads (slightly nutty flavor; high Omega-3 content). I've seen studies that show hemp fiberboard outperforms OSB.

Idiot Rethuglinazi assholes and their fucked-up War on People Who Use Drugs are the reason why industrila hemp isn't used in the US (at least, hardly used).

Why would you consider Kenedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton, along with the Democraticly controlled House from 1930-1994 to be "Idiot Rethuglinazi assholes"???

Bush loosened the rules on Industrial Hemp that he inherited from Clinton....

Why do you lie on something so easily checked?

Not really a lie, a small mistake. There were 2 non consecutive terms where Reps had a slight majority 46 and 52. Other than that the Dems had the House of Reps. And held the presidency.

So I admit I was slightly wrong, nad am not lying.

But is that all you can say to adress my point?

Why would you consider Kenedy, Johnson, Carter, and Clinton, along with the Democraticly controlled House from 1930-1994 (with the exception of 2 terms---they controlled it for 60 of the 64 years) to be "Idiot Rethuglinazi assholes"???
