About Me

The continued imprisonment of non-violent drug offenders is an important issue to take action on because the victims of this policy have lost their rights and cannot take action as a free person. These laws are hard to change because the mulitudes of people who oppose them are often trying to fly under the radar, are imprisoned, are an oppressed population, or have lost their voting rights.

Hemp, the wonder plant and..HEMP HOUSES

I've heard of the benefits of HEMPSEED OIL, have seen HEMP CLOTHING, and even expensive HEMP HAIR PRODUCTS... but I just read about HEMP HOUSES. http://www.harbay.net/fibre/hemphouses.html

In Australia, Ireland and the UK, people are experimenting with building hemp houses.

Hemp is a relative of the Cannabis plant but no matter how much you smoke of it, it will not get you high. This is the ancestor of modern day marijuana.

Hemp is illegal to grow in the USA, but in the old days its use was widespread because it is such an easy to grow and useful crop. In fact, paper, ropes, and sails were usually made out of hemp because it is one of the strongest natural fibers known to man!

One of the best things that could come out of the new legislation to Legalize and Tax Cannabis would be the ability of CA farmers to grow the hemp crop.


This would make California the only state in the country that could grow hemp legally.

We would have a corner on the market, and might improve our economy!

  1. Kate,

    I've enjoyed all your posts, especially your information on the prison-industrial complex. Good work.
