Awesome! Ive just started looking into the benefits of hemp from a medicinal viewpoint! I am going to share this with my herbal group on telegram (after I've read through the article in its entirety.). TPTB have made it illegal because it is so beneficial and so cheap to grow. IInterestingly, it was made illegal in France for personal use since 2021. I wonder why? But I can get the seeds and there's a secret area in a corner of my garden :)

Where I live around 40% of the people are addicted to cheap, locally brewed alcohol. You encounter drunks at 8 in the morning, starting a new day of being drunk. But if the police catches you with marihuana, you go to jail (or pay a big bribe). Ridiculous.

Exactly, they will say 'inject this toxin we barely tested for a virus we can't prove exists' and they have no issues with advertisements of happy people drinking toxic alcohol but if you want to use some parts of a plant that makes you relaxed, they forbid it. Crazy.

Haha, I was Literally arrested in the late 80's for transporting a sack of hemp seeds in a "routine traffuck stop"!

I used them as part of nutritious feed for my quails & other fowl.

They kept shouting at me, that I was LUCKY I had only one 20lb bag or they would get me for distribution! Since the quantity was "large" I got to get fingerprinted & sit in a cage.

What a joke.

okay...you reminded me of the time I was arrested for possession. I was doing dinner theater out of NY city - I was in Pineville, N. Carolina. I had the lead in Promises, Promises, and had borrowed a car to go out and about and I had a bag of weed - maybe a half ounce in my purse. There were a few marijuana butts in the ashtray when cops descended on me. As they were tearing up the inside of the car, I walked around the front of the car sat on the fender and stuffed the half ounce in the bumper...they never saw me do it. Of course they arrested me and the Theater owner had to bail me out of jail for the performance that night...it was a sold-out house...LOL When the car was finally retrieved from the impound, the baggie was still there...in the bumper...smoked the hell out of it!!!!!!!

I won't spill all the insane details here, in fact, I think I'll repost this stack and tell the rest of this insane tale on my page...you amazing dames do inspire me!

Those were the daze?

THC and CBD is needed for cancer treatment, plus the terpenes, the strain Medicine man has been used for many decades, it's a strain from the USA, I 💙 that strain so fruity, so good for the lungs😁. Australia has the Rick Simpson strain we use for cancer too, have for many decades, when we make the sacred oil we call Rick Simpsons method, in honour of him. There is patent in US from the 1970 that has cannabis as cancer all cure, it does 90% of cancers.

The terpenes are being pharmacopoeially investigated now, you can develop medicine for vast majority of aliments.

Interesting enough CBD and a couple of terpenes increase the neurogenesis of the hippocampus. In combination with physical training even more so. So cannabis can be used therapeutically in this fight against mine control.

Plus you can go the other way, for instance soldiers who suffer from PTSD, high dose THC suppresses dreams, helps you forget memories you want to forget. Here's the thing if you want to remember you do the opposite and increase your neurogenesis. You can also use this method to rewire your neural networks.

Oh another thing the terpenes α-bisabolol and β-caryophyllene protect neuronal cells against neurotoxic amyloid β. So it's good for protection against dementia and Alzheimer's. Plus those white clots use amyloid β misfolded proteins.

I got rid of my white clots... Wasn't just the laser...

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a complex cell-signaling system. The effects of the ECS are very wide reaching, not just “pain/mood” but appetite and digestion, metabolism, chronic pain, inflammation and other immune system responses, mood, learning and memory, motor control, sleep, cardiovascular system function, muscle formation, bone remodeling and growth, liver function, reproductive system function, stress, and skin and nerve function.

“Experts” believe that maintaining homeostasis (stabilizing metabolism) is the primary role of the ECS.

Natural (endogenous - made in our own bodies)

• anandamide (AEA) (this is a pleasure molecule)

• 2-arachidonylglyerol (2-AG)

Drugs

• THC (marijuana) - binds to both CB1 and CB2 receptors

• CBD (also in marijuana)

I will probably leave that blank. I am not anit weed having smoked a tremendous amount of it over the years. But let’s face it, it’s already pretty easy to get. Do we really need more of it?

My neighbor has his medical card; medical my ass smh. Some of that stuff is freakishly bad for you. It has to be. I took one good seat of hash (butter he calls it). That shit wrecked my lungs for a couple of hours. Seriously the pain was pretty intense reminding me of when I caught covid. He experiences same thing whenever he smokes it. Told him to stop and finally quit using that product. That shit should not be used for medical anything.

The other shit he gets is extremely potent as far as high is concerned. I will smoke some of it too but not often. Severely fucks me up every single time. Sometimes those highs are quite hard on me. I can get very depressed but I have sort of always been like that when I smoke. Some people don’t seem to feel like that tho.

Heather B's avatar

it's easy to get but the consequences of being found to possess it are heavy sometimes depending on where you live. Why should anyone go to jail or pay fines for it? I'd vote yes if I lived there. But I live in Texas where I doubt it would ever be legalized except for medicine. You can't even buy liquor on Sunday here.

Heather I think you may have missed the most important function of hemp. That would be that it’s rope makes the best Hangman’s Noose. We are going to need a lot of it as the next several months have real potential to get violent.

Here’s what I think might be coming our way: I think they are going to remove KH. By remove I don’t mean replace. This will happen 1-5 days out or quite possibly the day of if possible.

This act will be blamed on Trump supporters and the election will be put on hold indefinitely. Small waves of violence will then occur in rural communities (Trump area) most likely perpetrated by militant migrants, antifa, and/or blacks as payback for the demise of Harris.

Martial law with them be implemented…..do the math from there.

There must be a good reason for that recently imposed EO. This might be how they plan to use it. Nothing is too crazy for this world IMO.

Wonder who was growing the hemp?

Shipping was the last to continue use correct?

all electric, toxic lithium ion batteries, 'mini-nukes' and the 'green' new deal are no better. They are all lies that put a bandaid on the problem that the current lifestyle of the western world sucks off the whole planet and it unsustainable. We can't just take and take and take. That's being a parasite. What I don't get about the US and Canada is that they frack gas and oil out of our own scarred earth - only to export it all away by ship - in its dirtiest forms. Does this make sense? Why not refine it here and then make them pay top dollar instead of just handing our natural resources to Asia, polluting as we go and risking our oceans, only to buy it back from THEM for top dollar? Someone please explain this to me. I don't get it.

I'm for neither of these corrupt yayhoo warmonger POS's on either side of the UniCorporate party and will use my voting voice to protest the 'choice' we are supposed to have, as usual. That said, I think Trump will win so there will be no need to 'remove' Harris. Regardless, That won't be on my conscience, no matter what the two sides of the uniparty try to say- nor will hanging anyone. I feel uncomfortable with suggestions of mass hangings and this kind of violence - that is merely conforming to someone else's big idea of how to get us to hate and even kill each other. Please can we be more thoughtful and stop talking all this war talk?

Force and mandates will only work for a time - people will rise up because it is our birthright to be FREE and with freedom comes individual personal responsibility to not fall into conditioning traps - it's not a cakewalk into mass psychosis and belonging to any club but the tendency to divide and fight each other seems as old as time. That continues to be an existential disappointment to me.

I love Heather's ideas toward looking at some solutions anyone can partake in - I would love to see us come together and focus on those. Sure, watch your back, protect your loved ones, have guns if they make you feel safe. The important thing is, we all have a voice and can use our gifts and knowledge to make an inviolate whole that can't be divided and devolve into hatred and suspicion of each other. I love humor, esp. gallows humor. But it's never funny to me to see people laughing about killing and harming others. That's just me I guess.

According to My research over several decades 100% of what You say is true - to a probability approaching 100%. Indeed, Anslinger, out of a job when prohibition was lifted, was looking for something else to "go after," and so many industrial forces wanted cannabis in all its forms gone, so it was an easy pick for Him.

I would be using cannabis right now for My pain - psoriatic arthritis given to Me by protection from DDT...er..."polio" back in 1963. Sadly, I have no access presently to untainted herb. Though genmod is not needed for the plant to be perfect in helping, the psychopaths in control have surely mucked with it.

The "legal" crap is tainted that way, or with stuff added. I wrote this up here:

A combination of the compare & contrast between hemp and trees and that lit lightening lighter meme gave me a hypothetical clue as to when Que Mala got lost in her verbal salad garden. At some point, she and her crew were time-travel-toking away listening to music that hadn't been recorded yet, and someone asked her the eternal question about woodchucks. Now I have a plausible explanation, however corny, for why she's always stuck in a maize, so I feel unburdened.

Amazing! Great dive. What a wealth of information...and what a shame that such evil rules over us, and always has...crushing all the miracles that nature provides...of course it was demonized...all miracles of nature that heal and transform are. The purge/murders of holistic doctors has been horrifying.

Anything that cures naturally competes with their profits and undermines their ghoulish enslaving agendas, as they poison us all and charge us for it...

You mentioned bamboo...I love the few items of bamboo clothing that I have and wear them often...and I can only sleep on bamboo sheets...pure heaven!

So, we should all plant lots of seeds!!!

I remember Reefer Madness too...unreal...almost makes me want to look it up and watch it again...very jazzy and voodoo, as I recall.

I grew up in Kansas. My pops was good buddies w some of the K-pot cutters (hippies who’d harvest the wild stuff and use it to cut better stuff to sell). They even wrote a book about it called “Cows Are Freaky When They Look At You: An Oral History of the Kaw Valley Hemp Pickers” that my dad is in. This was in the late 60s thru the 70s. It was a crazy scene.

I was born in Lawrence. All the hippies lived in the hills and hollows around Lawrence. They’d drive further out in their pickups and sneak onto farms at night and harvest huge amounts of K-pot. Then drive it back to Lawrence to cut it into the (usually, back then) Mexican grown good stuff.

Graham (baba gbb)'s avatar

The farms they were sneaking onto were - obvs - not pot farms. These were regular Kansas farmers. They just had these massive wild fields of cannabis growing. Still do. They’re kind of like short forests or jungles they get so big and thick in the summer.

Thank you for this terrific piece Heather. Very thorough. And … I no longer shy away from broadcasting the cosmic creator Gaia spirit link with this plant. The Rastas are and were right about everything. This plant is just beyond any other thing that grows in the soil of Mother Earth (except for fungi, another key sacrament and connection to creator-mind). I gave up cannabis when I stopped drinking the aptly named “spirits” (almost 12yrs ago). I reintroduced cannabis into my life after the assholes launched the covid part of the op. It was that or go to prison for beating up gatekeeper mask morons at the entrance to grocery store. Anyway, I’m grateful to covid for bringing cannabis back into my life! What a magical wizardy beautiful plant. Growing it is unlike growing anything else. We grow all kinds of food and flowers but nothing grows like cannabis. It is so weird. And cool. And just trippy. https://open.spotify.com/track/1R0ZFniJSZZkYdArBrB4Xs?si=BhVIf0YVR7SJki7g4ij_dg&context=spotify%3Asearch%3Asmoke%2Bthe%2Bweed
