It is NOW time we SET "THE MAN" STRAIGHT ON WHAT PLANTS WE GROW TO
PROVIDE COMMUNITY SCALE HEALTH AND RESOURCE SUSTENANCE !! The wheel's
still turning, and only your silence of status quo acceptence will slow
green positive reality from manifesting.
*Secure your primo seed source now and avoid the rush. Hemp Happens.*

In Europe pesticides and herbicides are called biocides. The drug war is
another word for biocide. The drug war is the most environmentally
disastrous program ever foisted on mankind. A former drug czar wanted to
spray Roundup on coca fields in South America. Roundup kills everything!
(Recently the news reported that some villagers in Peru were killed by
pesticides sprayed on coca fields.) Remember the paraquat disaster from
a
few years ago used on marijuana? But it's not so much what we're doing
that's bad but what we're not doing.
Not only does one acre of hemp produce as much resources as four acres
of trees, but it's also as productive as 2 acres of cotton. Cotton
takes up 3% of the world's agricultural land but uses 11-15% of all
pesticides. (Source: National Geographic) Since hemp requires NO
BIOCIDES substituting half of all world cotton acreage for hemp would
reduce toxic biocide loads by 5-7%!! No small feat.
In the 1930's Dow chemical and Henry Ford pioneered the science of
chemurgy. Anything you can make with a hydrocarbon you can make with
cellulose. Henry Ford experimented with hemp and other agricultural
products and used them in some of his car parts. (There really were
hemp car fenders made!!) Ford realized that 50% of his cars were
bought by farmers so he adopted the unheard of position that he ought
to do
something to make them money so they could afford his cars and
tractors. Today oil companies and Arab sheiks get the money. I think
it's time to
return to chemurgy, making plastics from cellulose and farm products.
To do otherwise, ultimately will lead to "biocide." Those who support
the DEATH culture of biocide will have a special place in the dustbin
of history.[Politicians take special note.]
