Legalize research and cultivation of industrial hemp
(Hemp does not produce the “high”)
So, why is it illegal?
Because fuel companies would lose TRILLIONS in profit, while the quality of life for everyone else would rise dramatically. It would create millions of jobs, as well as make our reliance foreign fuels non-existent.
Some think that is the “real reason” behind marijuana laws is so they can keep industrial hemp illegal despite it’s many uses and positive impact it would have on our society.
Some estimate that the global market for hemp consists of more than 25,000 products in nine submarkets: agriculture; textiles; recycling; automotive; furniture; food/nutrition/beverages; paper; construction materials; and personal care.
It can be grown as a fiber, seed, or other dual-purpose crop. Hemp fibers are used in a wide range of products, including fabrics and textiles, yarns and raw or processed spun fibers, paper, carpeting, home furnishings, construction and insulation materials, auto parts, and composites. The interior stalk (hurd) is used in various applications such as animal bedding, raw material inputs, low-quality papers, and composites. Hemp seed and oilcake are used in a range of foods and beverages, and can be an alternative food protein source. Oil from the crushed hemp seed is an ingredient in a range of body-care products and also nutritional supplements. Hemp seed is also used for industrial oils, cosmetics and personal care, and pharmaceuticals, among other composites.

I have unlimited respect for parents who’s children suffer with debilitating conditions such as infant epilepsy. They work around the clock to keep their children safe, and the stress created by watching a loved one suffer is horrific. If cannabis works so quickly, so effectively, so safely as to be administered in such a way as to immediately stop a seizure, then why the hell are we allowing this disgusting prohibition to continue? …read more

What do you think of this as a tshirt design?
Introduction
I have been campaigning for the legalization of Marijuana (Cannabis, Pot, Weed, Hash……….) in my country for a number of years now in the hope that the amazing properties of this plant could be put too good use in helping the growing number of people with horrific cancers and other disorders. I find it amazing that in a country like South Africa we still outlaw a plant that has been used for hundreds of years by many of the local people.
This country is different to many others out there in that millions of the local people use this plant on a daily basis and is part of their traditions and lifestyle. The authorities pretty much ignore the whole thing as there are plenty of other, more powerful, products out there that destroy lives and get most of the attention. The other interesting point is that this plant grows naturally in this area and often you will see it here and there growing in overgrown gardens and neglected state land.
Now, you may be wondering what my interest in Marijuana is and I want make it clear that I am not some lazy ass stoner or someone who listens to reggae all day! My interest is in the medicinal side and the properties and healing powers of THC ( the plants main chemical ingredient). There is mounting evidence throughout the world that the chemicals contained in this plant can do wonders for people suffering from cancer. People have survived everything from blood cancers to inoperable tumors and their testimonials attribute this to medical marijuana.
I have been unlucky when it comes to family with 3 deaths from this terrible disease over the past few years alone. I guess some of us are unlucky when it comes life dishing out genes and although we all carry cancer cells some of us will inevitably end up sick. As I approach my 40th birthday I know that I am coming up on the age where several other family members developed this disease so I would like to take a “preventative” treatment which may just help to save my life. The treatments modern cancer patients go through are horrendous and if there is a just a tiny chance of avoiding all that then we have to go for it. I even have a family member who was diagnosed with breast cancer and ended up losing the breast and going through a terrible program of chemotherapy and radiation treatments – the good news is that she is currently clear and the treatment worked. She recently said that if the disease comes back she thinks she is not sure she could go through that again and may opt to avoid the treatment – that’s how bad it really is!
The main point is to get government to listen to the evidence and the will of the people and re-visit this issue. We recently had an MP, who is sick with deadly cancer, create a bill and table it in parliament but so far it doesn’t appear to have gained much attention at all. I think if enough of us make a noise then it will eventually come up and there will be a chance this miraculously plant could be approved for medicinal use.
The funny part is that so many people use it anyway – it has no history of causing violence or sickness like other legalized products (tobacco and alcohol) – but if you are caught you are in theory a criminal and would suffer problems with job applications and other things throughout your life for doing something that may just keep you alive!
You can check this video (one of hundreds) which talk about the health benefits of THC.
I will continue to update here with news and other information as time goes on and I hope you will check back occasional and comment as you see fit.

Dagga as tiener maak jou dom as grootmens
KAAPSTAD. – Die invloed van dagga op die ontwikkelende tienerbrein is só sleg dat dit tot in volwassenheid hul IK kan verlaag.
Dít is maar een van die negatiewe uitwerkings wat dagga op ‘n tienerbrein het, is pas bevind in ‘n oorsigstudie deur die Amerikaanse National Institutes of Health wat in die New England Journal of Medicine gepubliseer is.
Omdat die tienerbrein nog tot in vroeë volwassenheid ontwikkel, “belemmer [daggaverbruik] kritiese denke en geheue gedurende gebruik en dit duur voort dae ná die tyd. Die gereelde gebruik van dagga in die tienerjare verlaag IK tot in volwassenheid, selfs al hou gebruikers op om dit as volwassenes te gebruik”, volgens die navorsing.
Dagga beïnvloed die geheue asook die denk- en leerproses omdat dit die areas wat daarby betrokke is se verbindings beskadig. Mense wat in hul tienerjare begin dagga rook het, en vir ‘n paar jaar aangehou het, verloor 8 IK-punte teen die tyd dat hulle in hul dertigs is. En nog belangriker: Dit herstel nie al het hulle opgehou om die dwelm te gebruik.
Volgens die studie is tweedehandse daggarook ook gevaarlik.
Dit beskadig net soos gewone rook die longe, maar diegene wat net dagga rook en nié tabak nie, het meer gesondheidsprobleme as mense wat albei rook. Hulle is ook meer afwesig van die werk weens asemhalingsprobleme.
Volgens die studie maak dagga ‘n mens nie “kalm” nie, dit verhoog die hartklop met tussen 20% en 100% kort nadat dit gerook is en dit kan tot drie uur duur. Mense wat dagga rook se kanse op ‘n hartaanval in die eerste uur nadat hulle gerook het, is vier tot agt keer groter as nie-rokers s’n.
Dit kan depressie, angs, paniek en psigotiese aanvalle veroorsaak en by tieners ook lei tot die neem van hul lewe.
