If we legalize pot in California this year, just imagine what life will be like a couple of years from now. Almost everything we use in our daily lives will be made from hemp.
We won’t have to feel guilty about going to places like McDonald’s or Burger King anymore because the packaging will be made from hemp (not trees). You’ll have your choice between a cow burger and a hemp burger. Cheese too. Hempseed is the finest food on the planet, bar none. It helps clean out your arteries. And it tastes great. It can be made to look and taste like just about anything you want it to. You can have hemp ice cream for dessert!
No more smelly exhaust fumes coming out of our cars. We’ll be using the finest fuel in the world and we won’t have to shoot anybody for it. The CO2 levels will be drastically reduced. The only way to reverse the Greenhouse Effect is by growing hemp all over the globe and leaving all trees and fossil fuels (gas, oil and coal) in the ground.
Our cars will be made of hemp too! Henry Ford built a car made of hemp right before World War II. He predicted that all cars in the future would be made from hemp or other plants. There’s a little video on YouTube showing him hitting the back of the car with a sledgehammer to demonstrate how strong it is and how it wouldn’t make a dent.
Our houses will be made almost completely from hemp. It is a non-toxic replacement for cement, lumber, sheetrock, plaster, insulation and acoustic tiles. Because of its strength and flexibility, it makes an ideal construction material for areas susceptible to earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes. It is non-flammable, fungicidal, antibacterial, waterproof and inedible by rodents and termites.
Just about everything inside our houses will be made from hemp, too, including carpets, drapes, furniture upholstery, paints, varnishes, shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotions and creams. Also, anything made out of plastic, including computers, speakers, DVD holders, window blinds, food packaging, etc.
All of our clothing can be made from 100% hemp or hemp blended with other fabrics like organic cotton or silk. You can even make fake fur out of hemp! And no pesticides are required to grow it, unlike non-organic cotton. Fifty percent of all poisons used for agricultural crops in the United States are used just on non-organic cotton.
We won’t be killing ourselves with pharmaceuticals anymore. We’ll be using natural cannabis for most of our ailments. It’s the best thing for Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, migraines, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), Parkinson’s, sickle cell anemia, attention deficit disorder, nausea, cancer, fibromyalgia and countless other problems.
Cannabis Hemp can cure Parvo in dogs, get song birds to sing, and is the best bait for fish. Horses love it, too.
Isn’t it strange - doesn’t it make you mad as hell - that the number one food of all time for most birds, fish, horses, humans, and life in general, is illegal to have naturally and healthfully in the United States of America, as ordered by the Nazi/Gestapo-like Amerikan Drug Enforcement Administration and, through them, the USDA?
We’ve found out that the law for donating money to our California Cannabis Hemp & Health Initiative 2008 is:
• We can accept cash up to $24.99. Any donations of $25.00 or more cannot be in cash.
• You must include your name and address with any donation over $25.
• You must include your employer’s name with any donation over $100.
Our idea is for everyone who wants to help legalize Cannabis Hemp and save the planet to send us $24 to help pay for professional petitioners. If you can’t afford that, please try to send $12. We need the money right now to pay for signature collecting. We’re running out of time. Either we want pot legal or we don’t. It’s our decision.
Only California voters can vote for this initiative, but people all over the world can donate and help make it a reality. Let’s show the government who’s really in charge…WE THE PEOPLE! Please send this message to your friends all over the world. Tell them California needs your money now so we can get this on the ballot. We only have about 80 days left so please repost, repost, repost! And then follow up on it. I’ve never asked for money before but I’ll be 69 years old this year and would like to see this done in my lifetime!
