The work is taken
from a book called Hemp Lifeline to the
Future By Chris Conrad, Creative
Xpressions publications Los Angeles,
California.
The reason hemp was made illegal was in
order to sell oil instead of using the
oil from hemp seeds.
No-one has ever found any detrimental
effects from the herb.
There is a control mechanism in place,
as part of the veil of illusion which
centres around this very point.
Once the veil of illusion is lifted on
this subject, the answers and reality
are blatantly obvious.
Problems in understanding are usually
caused by inexperienced users who
classify a normal garden herb along with
the manufactured evil drugs, due to a
quirk of the law.
In 1894, the
British Raj Commission made a study of
hemp drugs in Indian belief systems, and
reported that.......
"Yogis take deep
draughts of bhang that they may centre
their thoughts on the eternal ... By the
help of bhang, ascetics pass days
without food or drink. The supporting
power of bhang has brought many a Hindu
family safe through the miseries
of famine. To forbid, or even seriously
restrict use of so holy and gracious a
herb as hemp would cause widespread
suffering, deep seated anger and
annoyance to the large bands of
worshipped ascetics...
Obviously the
British Commission were not aware that
ascetics do not have deep seated anger,
but nevertheless, their observations are
reasonably accurate.
The
Hindu and the Holy Herb
One of the fundamental texts of
Hinduism, the Rig Veda, from 1500 BC,
says "Drug plants preceded even the gods
by three ages." Cannabis was a gift from
the gods, who spilled a drop of nectar
onto the earth. Where it touched the
ground, the hemp plant sprouted.(2).
Hindus believe that Lord Shiva brought
the plant down from the Himalayas for
human use and enjoyment. One day, Shiva
went off by himself in the fields. The
shade of a tall cannabis plant brought
him comfort and refuge from the blazing
sun. He tasted its leaves and felt so
refreshed that he adopted it as his
favourite food, hence the title: "Lord
of Bhang."(3) Cannabis is also called
Indrica, the food of the God Indra. The
Supreme Lord Krishna at one point in the
Bhagavad-gita, "I am the Healing
Herb."(4)
In late Vedic India, cannabis was used
in fire ceremonies for good fortune as
well as for healing. The fourth book of
the Vedas, the last accepted into the
orthodox religion, written around 1400
BC, calls it one of the "five kingdoms
of herbs ... which release anxiety.

I figure this video
will stimulate some potentially useful
discussion. It features portions of an
interesting WWII-era production, titled Hemp
for Victory, made by the U.S.
government to encourage U.S. farmers into
the cultivation of hemp to fill the
escalating demand for industrial fibre
during the war. This was not too long
after the U.S. had introduced, during the
height of the Great Depression, the 1937
Marihuana tax, which had had the opposite
effect. (It goes to show the power that
government policies can wield in rapidly
influencing social priorities.)
Some of you will know,
and some of you will not, that hemp has
been used since ancient times. Sails
were made of it, ropes were made of it,
clothes were made of it. People ate it
(seed), wrote on it (paper), lit their
homes with it (oil), and fed their animals
with it (what was left!). Indeed, some say there’s very
little you can’t make from it. As
the video shows, Henry Ford even made
cars and car parts out of it. Not
only were they stronger and lighter than
metal parts, but they were biodegradable
too!
By all accounts,
Ancient China is where hemp was cultivated
from its wild botanic ancestors. China
was, up until their recent surrender to
modern Agribusiness interests, one of the
only nations that managed to maintain
their agricultural systems on the same
land for thousands of years without
depleting its soil — and despite having
very high population densities. (See Farmers of Forty
Centuries, 300kb PDF.) That hemp
played an important role in supplying many
of their basic human requirements
sustainably over this entire period is
worthy of note considering this
historically significant accomplishment.
Hemp can be used as a
‘mop crop’ (phytoremediation), to take
impurities, excess nutrients and heavy
metals out of water and soil. It can be
grown virtually everywhere on earth and
although it doesn’t like wet feet too much
(it prefers reasonably well-drained
soils), it is not otherwise particularly
demanding.
I personally think
that, like pretty much anything we do
today, hemp would become a problem if
applied at the largest scale. Introduce
centralised, monocrop hemp systems and I’m
sure we’ll suffer penalties in soil health
and chemical use — but on a small scale
the plant seems only meritorious. This little report
seems to confirm my thoughts here —
talking about the difficulties of an
economy of scale with hemp’s particular
characteristics.
Some of you may recall
that I
had the privilege of seeing hemp use in
its traditional form — by the Hmong
people living in the mountainous north of
Vietnam, only a couple of clicks from the
Chinese border. The Hmong are originally
from China (actually, there is a lot of
evidence to show that they were in China
before the Chinese) and there they grew
hemp from seed, harvested the plants,
separated the fibres, dyed them with plant
dyes and weaved their own colourful
clothing, and they did it for century upon
century, without a Gap store in sight.
Today there are all
kinds of economic interests and incentives
stopping all kinds of appropriate
technologies. Is hemp yet another casualty
in the competition for our consumer
dollars?
It’d be great to hear
practical reports from readers who have
experience working with the plant and
who’ve produced useful products with it.
Have permies out there found practical,
viable and valuable uses and systems for
hemp, the non-THC plant of the cannabis
genus?
Mother
Energy and hemp: Part One
An all-pervasive energy
is fundamental to the Cosmos. Not “empty,”
vacuum space itself is an ocean of energy,
the essence of nature.
Tesla called this
universal force, “Free energy.” Inventors
who have also found the key have added the
names: “Zero-point energy”; “Energy from the
vacuum”; “Background energy”; “Radiant
energy”; “Cosmic energy”; “Aether” . . .
many others.
Tesla predicted that if
we are ever allowed to use free energy . . .
someday mankind will hook their machinery up
to “the very wheelworks of nature.”
Here the terms “Mother
Energy” and “free energy” are
interchangeable.
Born of Mother Energy,
hemp elegantly transforms sunlight and water
into essentials of life on Earth—a regal
powerhouse of the plant kingdom. Beyond
that, certain relationships might not seem
obvious, such as Mother Energy and hemp
being artificially linked in ways that
hinder humanity. Mother Energy and hemp
offer extreme public benefits spanning the
biosphere, potentially brightening the
future of humanity. Alas, in regressive ways
practiced and preached in the US above all,
Mother Energy access and hemp farming are
both suppressed for precisely the same
reason: Protection of entrenched corporate
profits.
When corporate profit
became the touchstone of civilization, the
future could only be sold out; first come,
first served.
Imagine looking into a
child’s eyes and believing that their future
is not being consumed.
Suppression of
Mother Energy
“No free-energy
device will ever be allowed to reach the
market.”–Nikola Tesla
Citing reasons of
“national security,” the US Patent Office
has locked down an estimated 4,000 patents for
“energy devices,” many of them inventions
that tap Mother Energy. National security is
a vulgar euphemism for protection of the
profit and control infrastructure concocted
by fossil fuel corporations, and to a lesser
degree, nuclear fission corporations;
destructively, top players in civilization’s
energy status quo (ESQ).
Three of the world’s
top four corporations are oil and gas
companies, eight of the top twelve. Their de
facto enemy is competition beyond their
control. Mother Energy is their mortal
enemy, a natural stake through the heart of
what pollutes the life from Earth’s
biosphere for “profit,” even extending
biocidal tentacles to condemn the unborn
ever more distant to every conceivable form
of debt.
Interference,
harassment, sabotage, buying inventions and
burying them, arson . . . everything up to
and including assassination—the ESQ does
whatever it takes to dominate while keeping
the public torpid via an array of
intelligence suppressors. A primary tool of
dumbing down the masses is mainstream
corporate media (CorpoMedia), owned
primarily by the ESQ elite . . . and they
own most everything else, including
government.
Tesla’s access to
Mother Energy guaranteed his denigration by
corporate forces, all the way to virtually
lifting Tesla out of history. Thomas Edison
got the big historical presence, but the
difference between Edison and Tesla mirrors
the difference between dead-end direct
current (DC) and polyphase alternating
current (AC). Edison could only sprint.
Tesla could fly.
George Orwell said in
his novel, 1984, “He who
controls the present controls the past, he
who controls the past controls the future.”
“History is a set of
lies agreed upon.”—Napoleon Bonaparte
CorpoMedia is primarily
an infomercial for managing public
perceptions. Despite frequent affirmation of
this situation, including “we’ve been
caught” admissions of rampant bullshitting,
a majority of people still turn to
CorpoMedia to “find out what’s going on.”
Perhaps this quote from
almost eighty years ago is even more apropos
now than when W.C. Fields said it—especially
regarding the majority of Americans’
relationship with CorpoMedia: “There comes a
time in the affairs of man, when we must
take the bull by the tail, and face the
situation.”
Deluded by
“agreed-upon” history, and the stultifying
diet of perception management—all the
standard disinformation, misinformation and
misdirection in a hearty stock of lies, most
people know very little about Tesla’s
perfections, or about Nikola Tesla the man.
Tesla’s imperfections, that is where the
public mind has been aimed.
Most common among what
“history” sticks to the ribs of Americans:
“Tesla was sort of a crackpot”; “Tesla had
an obsessive-compulsive disorder”; “Tesla
was spooky”; “Tesla did not understand
American business”; “Tesla died in poverty”;
“Tesla really had a thing about pigeons.” .
. . Whatever was most important about Tesla,
his inventions . . . even virtue and style
displayed by his, “Science is but a
perversion of itself unless it has as its
ultimate goal the betterment of humanity” .
. . move along, nothing to see here.
A close friend of
Tesla’s, Mark Twain, said, “I never let
schooling get in the way of my education.”
For me, Tesla was
absent from public schooling; only in
college did I even hear his name, and learn
that Tesla and Edison were involved in the War of the Currents.
Edison championed direct current (DC).
Tesla’s polyphase alternating current
systems (AC) power civilization.
Approaching death,
Edison even lamented that his biggest
mistake had been attempting to develop
direct current, rather than the superior
alternating current system that Tesla had
put within his grasp.
Tesla’s contributions
to science and technology earned him over
700 patents. Other treasures from Tesla’s
mind transcend patents because they
transcend “accepted,” institutionalized,
politicized, “science.” His foremost,
apparently fatal mistake: Tesla profoundly
menaced entrenched corporate profits.
He said with classic
Tesla dignity and with absolute backup of
reality, regarding JP Morgan and similar
financial creatures: “I am unwilling to
accord to some small-minded and jealous
individuals the satisfaction of having
thwarted my efforts. These men are to me
nothing more than microbes of a nasty
disease. My project was retarded by laws of
nature. The world was not prepared for it.
It was too far ahead of time, but the same
laws will prevail in the end and make it a
triumphal success.”
He was referring
specifically to “Wardenclyffe,” and
wireless transmission of energy to any place
on Earth.
A masterpiece of
nature, hemp is a plant most revered for
thousands of years. But in a perversion
where public health and welfare, the
biosphere and future of humanity mean
nothing compared to immediate corporate
profits . . . right here in the world’s
“Superpower,” hemp is a crop banned for 75
years and counting—something as lurid as the
“reefer madness” that heralded hemp
prohibition.
Food, fuel, fiber,
paper, clothing, plastics, medicines,
building materials . . . the sheer scope,
thousands of superior natural products are
hemp’s effective flaw, so
much value that to the masses unweaned from
CorpoMedia, hemp can sound too good to be
true.
“Of the two things
that appear to be infinite, space, and
American ignorance, only the infinity of
space remains debatable.”—Anonymous
The ossified mind-set
nurtured by CorpoMedia is another link
between Mother Energy and hemp. In terms of
Mother Energy, the crux seems focused on the
general idea: “If we have this clean,
inexhaustible energy supply, why are we
polluting the world with fossil fuels and
nuclear energy?” Essentially the same
thinking keeps hemp farming distanced from
public benefit, as in: “If hemp is so great,
why aren’t we growing it?”
Canada is growing hemp,
as are other nations free enough of US
influence. The US market for hemp products
reaches annual sales of $500,000,000—on
imported raw materials. Several years ago
hemp was the most profitable crop for
Canadian farmers, not to mention the
biosphere, the land, the public. Since then,
hemp has fallen to number three or four
regarding short-term profits.
The reason could not be
more insidious, the culprit more obvious:
Monsanto Company.
In Part Two:
Nature is us. Can we work with us instead of
against us? Also, sweet talk, Public Enemy
Number One, and American workers sharing the
wealth . . .
Cancer Cured:
A Cannabis Story
Leaf
Marijuana Medicine
A description of medical marijuana based on
juicing the raw leaves, before drying.
Apparently the raw THC acid turns
psychoactive only when heated, as when baked
in cookies, or smoked.
But for me the significant point was about
two minutes into the fifteen minute clip
where the doctor says that THC acid is
the ONLY known drug in neuro chemistry that
sends feedback from the postsynaptic nerve
to the presynaptic nerve, which increases
the body's ability to restore normal health.
In other words, juiced marijuana works WITH
nature, instead of fighting nature like most
other drugs.
