| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00  | A good way of celebrating 4/20 (of course, I won't be here tomorrow- taking the day off to partake in the festivities :) ) If this is too long, just don't read it... Hemp Hemp Hooray... Relegalize today! You can now grow Marijuana for medicine in northern, central, and southern California. By 56% of the popular vote. Over 4.5 million Californians voted “yes†on Prop 215. It allows you to grow for your friends who can’t grow because they’re either too ill, don’t have the space or the time. You can grow for PMS, Migraine, Back Pain, you name your ailment. All you need is a note from your physician stating you prefer nature’s safest and best medicine, Cannabis, over the pharmaceutical’s toxic corporate profits and patents. It’s there waiting for you to do it. All the founding fathers grew cannabis on their plantations, by law since Jamestown 1619. If you didn’t grow cannabis in the colonies you were fined and thrown in jail. Every farmer had to give at least a quarter-acre of cannabis to the government. You could pay your taxes with it right up to the 1820s. The very term “legal tender†meant you were bartering & trading in hemp. Why is it an illegal act for you to grow your homespun clothes from hemp? George Washington grew it. So did Thomas Jefferson. They both smoked it. George Washington wrote, “Make the most of the hemp seed, sow it everywhere.†Thomas Jefferson wrote in his diaries, that he smoked cannabis to relieve his migraine. It was the second most prescribed medicine until the turn of the century. The most prescribed medicine was Hashish. It was given to women for child birth. It is the most natural form of pain relief on the planet. Uh, George also wrote, “I missed pulling my male plants by two days, now I must wait another season for my Blossoming hemp.†All the pioneer settlers grew their herbal bush, you know they called it herbal medicine. Why is that herbal medicine illegal? It’s illegal because... The petrochemical, pharmaceutical, timber, alcohol, and tobacco industries would lose as much as 80% of their profits when hemp is grown for paper, fabric, fuel, food, medicine, plastics, lumber, and lamp oil. Earth’s #1 resource is non-toxic, biodegradable, recyclable, and renewable. · Betsy Ross made our flags out of hemp. We all saluted cannabis fibers world-wide until the marijuana tax act of 1937. Now we salute Dupont’s toxic nylon introduced in 1938 as the synthetic hemp. We honor man’s synthetics and outlaw mother earth? · The USDA in 1914 said every acre of hemp saves 4.1 acres of trees for paper alone; 10,000 acre of hemp saves 41,000 tree acres. · Henry Ford ran a fleet of 40,000 vehicles on 10,000 acres of hemp. · Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel with hempseed oil; all paints and varnishes used hemp oil as the base. Let’s grow the hempseed oil...let’s grow for medicine...lets grow for the environment...how about growing for our descendants?... Hemp, Hemp, Hooray! (spoken word from Total Devastion, Legalize It)  no-one ever tends to me. Sitting alone covered in breeze. Some things are so my mind can breathe. The waiting is hard, fuckin' takes so long. Draped in sun, hands in sand. Earth acid cleanses me. It cleanses me clean, but the world it never comes(Kyuss, Space Cadet) | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | F U, ya beatnick pothead ;) Some very important historical facts that make April 20th the perfect date for a Stoner New Year. The spring activist season has always kicked off around April 1st at Ann Arbor in Michigan. It's often too cold during the first week in April to draw a big crowd though. The second important date for political activists who are trying to relegalize cannabis is May 1st. The Annual May Day parade in New York started in Washington Square Park in 1973, and has been going on ever since, and is the last big date before the end of the college year. So April 20 fits in perfectly for gathering in protest of anti-marijuana laws, whether it's done privately and secretly or with thousands of others in public. The traditional New Year's Day is also usually associated with alcohol consumption, so most hardcore stoners would prefer to celebrate their own New Year's on a different day. What better day than April 20, when spring is in the air and it's time to plant the seeds for the fall harvest? Cannabis smokers tend to be close to the earth, so a date of April 20th is the perfect time to celebrate the earth's renewal. The weather is turning nice, the leaves are appearing on the tress, and the flowers are beginning to bud. (Not cannabis flowers, the other kind!) In other words, smoke lots of weed tomorrow! no-one ever tends to me. Sitting alone covered in breeze. Some things are so my mind can breathe. The waiting is hard, fuckin' takes so long.
