Hemp, a viable resource for so many things.
By [pseudonomen] • Sep 14th, 2007 • Category: Opinions and Editorials- This discussion originated over here in the
Who was it, again, who “outed” Plame? article,
but some of us felt that it should be moved to it’s own article.
So here goes…
Since then I have continued moving things that really belong over here to this page.
The coding is wearing me out guys and gals!
I’m still working on retaining the subject matter while editing out unrelated things which are intertwined within this discussion without altering the content of the original comments.
This is proving to be a tough job. I have already had to remove some of the smilies for formatting purposes. It seems that the line breaks were beginning on top of smilies at the end of comments, and I have tried every cure that I could think of, but had to remove those smilies at the ends of comments.

9:30 amI think hemp for fuel and fibre should be pushed for and hard so that we have some raw material to build wealth around besides coal and the elete’s horses.
Goats, mushrooms corn, bluegrass music and bucks for brains or even the internet and folk art, just ain’t gonna do it.
Tobacco is being squeezed out to be grown in india like about every job that can be sent there.
A value added product where it is rediculously marked up by the use of sunshine and rain and not even if done right fertiliser; I have never heard of anybody’s dope crop being eaten by any bugs just deer and rabbits.
With hemp Kentucky could be turn the textile, paint varnish, paper, rope, bullet proof vest, fish oil, biodesil and you bet, dope industries to our good. Hemp paper is some of the best archivial acid free stuff around, I know I have seen the difference in old books crumbling apart from wood pulp paper verses hemp documents that are like new.
The price of dope would plummet to the point the corrupt “officials” couldn’t trade it for other drugs in the black market PLUS the fibre/oil/seed crop would cross pollinate with those still trying to grow a hybridized non-pollinated female dope field so that the real hard core addicts wouldn’t get much more than a headache from smoking it; that’s the experience the french have found from their fiber crop, once the teenagers try smoking it and don’t get much if any buzz they leave it alone and grow theirs indoors or buy it from ….
drum roll please…silk road taliban dealers from afganistan!LOL NOT.

3:15 pmI’ve heard this before:
PLUS the fibre/oil/seed crop would cross pollinate with those still trying to grow a hybridized non-pollinated female dope field so that the real hard core addicts wouldn’t get much more than a headache from smoking it;
…sounds possible (even likely). Got a question for you…can the honey from marijuana have enough THC to have any kind of potency?
Now HERE’s a conspiracy theory I can buy into…lol. I have no doubt—whatsoever—that a county could get rid of practically ALL drug dealing if they wanted to. My goodness, all you need do is talk to people around the county and you’ll quickly discover exactly who is selling the stuff!
About three months ago, I was watching a road bore operation. The neighbors told me “That guy over there is selling drugs…better watch your stuff at night.” Sure enough, all day long there was a steady stream of cars make short visits (MAYBE they were just came a callin’
but it sure was suspicious.They said it did no good to call the law and the guy would cause them trouble every time they did.
Anyway…I believe there is enough corruption within local law enforcement—whether they’re being tipped off by low level insiders or higher up authorities.

4:26 pmFirst when I say Addicts I should say “habitual users”
as THC technically is not phisically addictive, like alcohol or even codine or heroine or nicotine is for that matter.
There is no way to have a completely THC free hemp, however, it is a hormone that the female plant makes.
People that have not smoked it/eaten it can be very sensitive as the human brain has receptors for THC, we are born to be able to use the stuff. Nicotine receptors must be grown and that is one reason you can get so sick from 1st uses of tobacco as the brain has to grow the receptors to deal with it, then you are more easily addicted to nicotine which has physiological withdrawl sysmtoms.
Of all the junk I have heard about THC other than the sever tar from smoking it the only major “draw” back is that your brain’s endorphine production will take awhile to come back up to normal. Smoking or using THC will reduce natural endorphine production if used on a regular basis.
There is also claims that it does genetic damage from years ago befor the human genome was supposedly mapped?
And claims it will make you gay as it supposedly reduces testosterone and such? Alot of that reeks of the propaganda used to do away with the “devils’ weed” from the 30’s when only the “degenerative races” used it? And it would immediately result in men raping women (as in the “refer madness” dupont propaganda piece that help to secure nylon had a foothold on the market.
I wonder if research has been squashed into hemp as a fibre for sutures instead of cat gut and nylon or the formerly popular silk.
I do know that hemp has been totally squashed by conventional medicine for severe nausea of chemotherapy and yes severe morning sickness even with evidence going back 4000 years that it was used by the chinese for that very purpose, maybe it did the genetic damage that made them into the “degenerative race” race they are?

6:13 amHow about the honey, Tech? That is, can honey collected from marijuana actually have enough THC to be potent?
I don’t believe it is possible…but I had a guy who said he had had some. I told him it was probably laced, but he was convinced.
Do you know?

10:22 amAs long as you realize that Hemp and Marijuana are two totally different things…
HEMP is legal in Kentucky, there are some restrictions that are too lengthly for this discussion, but possession of HEMP products are legal. A few years ago it was illegal to possess any HEMP or MARIJUANA products. Now HEMP is legal, but cultivation is restricted. MARIJUANA remains illegal to possess and/or cultivate in Kentucky.
Are you asking about Marijuana Honey?
Or;
Are you asking about Hemp Honey?

Name (required) onAugust 28, 2007
12:43 pmIf you found a way to extract the very small amount of THC from the leaves of a hemp vine and turn it into a honey or oil, you would end up with a marijuana product. The hippies called it hash, hash oil, golden honey, etc…
I wouldn’t doubt that it would be possible to enhance the THC level of that honey, but doing so would be beyond my knowledge.
Take Corn for example…
Corn has absolutely no intoxicating effects after consumption, but sour and distill the mash of the corn and you have alcohol.
Anything can be abused.
Back to the topic at hand now…
Marijuana, being a relative to hemp, also contains THC, but much higher concentrations of it. Thus the “Honey” made from the marijuana plant would be much more potent than any “Hashish” made from the hemp vine.
So to answer your question with the limited amount of information that you have given;
Yes… But the only way to know it isn’t laced would be to send it to a crime lab.

9:50 pmCanabus sativa l
is hemp or marijuanna
It depends on how you grow it
without giving away the details
so a 12year old will know;
Just let it be said that acres of hemp would cross pollinate the dope crops for miles away, ((the way GM monsanto corn marker genes have shown up all the way round the world even in countries that “ban” GM foods and crops))
unless grown in airtight indoor operations.
-
Name (required) onAugust 28, 2007
10:20 pmI have to disagree with that.
The difference is in the seed.
It makes no difference how you grow a seed that has the genetics of the hemp vine.
You could grow hemp trees for that matter and they would possess very little THC.
-
Name (required) onAugust 28, 2007
10:36 pmI do however agree that a decade or so of cross pollination between hemp and marijuana would destroy the dope crops.
-
TechKnomen onAugust 28, 2007
11:12 pmFemale hemp plant can turn hermaphroditic and self pollinate like snakes can, with out pollination it escalates THC as long as the flower stage continues, indoor growers play with modulating light cycles to go between growth phases and flower phases and some say they have kept the same plant indoors and trimmed back untill the stalk looks like a small tree.
The male hemp is very tall and spindly and even it has a small amount of thc BUT the male produces phytochemicals that counteract it so it cant be smoked for a high.
Dope growers have worked on isolating different lines of higher thc females but the levels still are not as high if it is allowed to be pollinated especially early in the flower stage.
And you get seed of course.
The shorter bushy female dope strains are easily identified from the male tall spindly hemp crops but
it is the same plant; cannibus sativa
Some smokers I have talked to just need the leaves of the femal to get a buzz while hard core daily smokers need but flowers or they are not satisfied, brownies and tea are another story and you’ll get the omega fatty acids and antioxidents without tar in the lungs.

11:24 pmThe amount of THC can only escalate as far as the seeds genetics will allow it to.
-
TechKnomen onAugust 29, 2007
10:11 amthey can be bred or selectied for THC like tomatoes can be hybidised from cherry to beefsteak to yellow or pink.
The strains of hemp are all able to be enhanced for either fibre or THC.
The problem I see is that if it is re-commercialised the likes of Monsanto and ADM will immediately start genetically modifications (if not already) to make it roundup resistant or produce its own pesticides and such so that THOSE +GM Rdna pollins will pollute the wild hemp around the world and the smokers or eaters of hemp will then get the added bonus of pesticides in their guts like some of the GM corn and Soy is supposedly doing now. Rats and Cows have been shown to have bateria that the virus used to splice in pesticides genitics have spliced into the gut bacteria and goes on producing the junk in their intestines

11:37 amSo we agree then, that Hemp seeds are bread for the specific purpose of growing hemp, and that marijuana seeds are bread for the specific purpose of cultivating marijuana. The hemp seedling being able to produce very little THC upon maturity and the marijuana seedling being capable of producing abundant amounts of THC upon it’s maturity.
-
TechKnomen onAugust 29, 2007
4:18 pmNo, not the way you put it, the male hemp/marijuana/canibus
sativa has very low THC and what it does have is thwarted by other phytochemicals
kinda like men have estrogen but their testosterone and progesterone levels counteract it
OR women have some testosterone but until menopause their estrogen counteracts the testosterone.
This causes or is used to cause confusion.
the problem is one of perception.
A hemp seed can be provolked, if female to produce a smokeable level of THC it may not be approved of by expert/experienced smokers in amsterdam (where U.S. dope grown by the government is rated very high-ly BTW)
But that is the road block used by law enforcment and the sobriety crowd that is propigated to thwart industrial hemp infavor of all the dow chemical type products and paper industry.
I have stopped giving a crap what they say as they come at it from the
“devil’s weed” mentality which is
tea totally dellusional from either a creationists or evolutionary mentality.
The “devil” is a destroyer not a creator of anything but chaos perhaps.
It gives too much credit to any concept of a “devil” to attribute hemp to that spiritual concept.
We as human have the THC receptors in our brains so why is dat? One wunders if it might be necessary for mental fitness and maybe less
of the flouride laced big pharma zombie products would be necessary
Still I don’t advocate for smoking it, eating it or drinking a tea would be a much healthier delivery system for the other spectrum of phytochemicals in the most usefull single plant in the solar sytem.

Take your very own tomato plant example as an example. You can’t plant seeds for yellow tomatoes and expect to grow pink tomatoes can you?
Just like you can’t plant a hemp seed and expect to grow marijuana. Right?
Surely your not trying to tell me that the way to grow hemp is by planting marijuana seeds and then culling the females.

7:02 pmYou could do that but it is not necessary for a fibre only crop;
but some varieties of hemp are better for fibre, taller and thinner reguardless of THC levels.
Hemp is a very adaptable and hearty plant that will grow just about anywhere there is enuff water and sunshine (or grow lights LOL)
Half of the value of industrial hemp/canibus is the seed and oil production, so culling female out is cutting production and economic crop viabilty.
People used to be more socally against smoking hemp because it was propagandised as something the “degenrative races” did. Even in “Back to the Future” a scene that is often censored showed the Black Band memebers in a smoke filled car acting abit stoned.
The male is not affected by the presence of females
so growing a crop for fiber does not require any female plants until next year and you need seeds.
SO you could have government licensed or government run hemp seed farms (like they already do) grow the plants up to big enuff to sex them somewhat reliably and then
distribute the plants out to be grown up to the 20ft height at harvest for the fiber to make canvas(the dutch word for canibus BTW) or paper or green jeans or whatever.
The fields could be inspected for the shorter bushy female with the buds that make the THC.
I have never heard of a male plant going hermaphroditic to female but I suppose it is possible.

10:36 pmAlthough both hemp and marijuana are obtained specifically from the cannabis plant, the two end products are totally different things. Actually the hemp vine or stalk and a marijuana plant are two totally different things. I’m not trying to argue that hemp isn’t derived from cannabis, the point that I’m trying to make is that hemp contains very little of the stuff that makes people high, Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC.
I believe that you are saying the same thing, so I still fail to see how we can be in disagreement about this.
Maybe it’s the novelty of calling it marijuana because the leafs look like marijuana leafs, the seeds look like the marijuana seed, the stems I’d imagine look like the stems of a marijuana plant, and yes if you were licensed to grow hemp, you could have a whole lot of fun by letting your “think” that you were growing marijuana plants. But that act might be a crime itself, so much for free speech.
The thing is, I just can’t understand how or why a proponent of the hemp industry would want to associate hemp with marijuana.
Besides, would you want tell a government agent or a judge that you planted a marijuana seed, or would you rather tell them that you had planted the hemp seed which you were permitted to plant?
Are hemp and marijuana not two different things?

3:44 pmHow many people in todays time would even know how to “pound the starch” out of hemp, let alone weave the fiber strands into a usable canvas? Yes, I know how to remove the starch and the fibers from inferior quality weeds like cattails and I’m sure that you do too. I can even use the cattail to make flour and some inferior quality clothing if necessary. I haven’t practiced this with the hemp plant because of legal implications, but I’m pretty sure that the process would be rather similar.

4:29 pmWell there are a few articles on “You will survive doomsday” that are worth a read, and there are survivalists out there besides mormons that consider themselves prepared whether they are or not.
Even in a total newklar exchange some biosphere elements will survive besides cockroaches and hemp.
People with brains are likely to survive and in a “Postman”(K.Kosner flick) scenario some folks will reinvent their own techniques and methods eventually.
“The World” (age or era) has already ended several times that is gennerally known of in the esoteric biblical sence, IF there was not other floods or events not generally admitted to by mainstream historical accounts.
Be it Planet X or Nibru or Wormwood or whatever, there is evidence of reasons for
Adam and Eve to be told to “replenish”/(repopulate ?) the earth from some earlier age or era or world where perhaps humans got arrogant and tried to make creation over in their preferred image (genetically?)
Noah was a wine-o but his saving trait was he was not misogenated - “perfect in his generations”/none of his ancestors had took up with the “strange women” be they of the line of cain or of those that saw the daughters of men were fair and came down to take them as wives? (theorised to be the origins of 6fingered giants with the 3rd eye giant pineal glands sticking out of their forheads like David hit with his slingshot.
(the snake on Egyptian headpieces supposedly?)
Anywho the
current “war on drugs”/war on terrorism/war on poverty or whatever might as well be a war on dust. Nice to pipe dream about but a never ending resource zapping impracticality in my book.
A government big enuff to give you every thing you want is big enuff to take everything you have. duh
Protect the natural borders and do the customs thing and divy up the oil royalitys in interstate commerce and heed G. Washington’s and others warnings about foriegn entanglements?

I’ll type something…then backspace it out…type something…then backspace it out.
I guess I’ll just have to deal with it.
But I’m not against hemp growing in Rowan County…I’m just not the “outlawing” type. I’m of the opinion that as long as you’re not hurting someone else…then what you do is between you and God.
Now, I know that the case can be made that…say…drinking on Sunday might be hurting an innocent person…such as a child or a spouse or the victim of a drunk driver.
But those people can be hurt the other six days of the week too…so why not outlaw drinking altogether? What’s so special about Sunday in that regard? I know that what’s special about Sunday has nothing to do with whether the local bar is open or not.
For instance, I know homosexuality is a sin…but I also know that it is not one iota worse than the sins I commit on a daily basis.
But I’m STILL not getting it right…lol

Industrial Hemp IS chemically different from marijuana and incapable of being used as a drug. Yet so many people keep associating hemp with its drug cousin marijuana.
I’m not suggesting that marijuana be decriminalized, I’m suggesting that the Industrial Hemp and the products made therefrom be honestly considered as a boost for our local economy.
Comparing Industrial Hemp and Marijuana is like comparing Rubbing Alcohol with Booze.

8:22 pmVomiting is a forceful expulsion of the stomach contents due to the contraction of stomach muscles. Vomiting is also known as emesis (sic). Sometimes you may attempt to vomit but may not expel anything from your mouth. This is known as retching (or “dry heaves”
. Vomiting may or may not be accompanied by nausea.Some of the causes of vomiting are as follows Overeating, Drinking excessive alcohol, Pregnancy, Migraine, Infections, Flu, Stomach upset, Stomach virus, Food poisoning, Poisoning, Accidental poisoning, Acute gastritis, Reflux, Intestinal obstructions, Chronic digestive conditions, Peptic ulcers, Stomach cancer, Intestinal obstruction, Kidney failure, Cholera.
Some of the effective home remedies for vomiting are as follows. Have a cup of ginger tea, Eat a mixture of honey and powder of 2 roasted cardamoms, Have a glass of chilled lime juice, Have a mixture of 1 tsp mint juice, 1 tsp lime juice, 1/2 tsp ginger juice and 1 tsp honey. Slowly sip a glass of honey water, Have one tsp onion juice in regular interval, Relax for some time.

1:53 amI will politely go away when ask to do so by an administrator.
Just let me point out that I wasn’t the one who said that I was Tech. Not that I was offended by your public assumption, but it could have offended Tech.
For those who aren’t in the know, I have been tinkering with new nicknames trying to find one that I like, and I think that I like this one. So I will call myself pseudonomen from this day onward.
Now it is time to practice my authoring skills. Move over Beethoven, give Pseudonomen the floor… Woooh!

And heaven forbid that anyone show offense for a violation of their human right to blog anonymously.

So yes I will be offended by anyone who seeks to expose the identity of anyone here.

TechKnomen onSeptember 13, 2007
10:24 amHey on the Hemp/pot thang; you can get high from carbon monoxide/o2 deprivation but you wont like the headache or health factors if you live from years of it; I have heard that Montel Williams recommends(or rather) eats his hemp for these reasons to deal with the fibro/ms or what ever he has.
Some say he is turning gay cause he cried on his show.
Guess the age of “sensitive new age man” is over or never quite came to Mo’head.
That is one of the warnings anti pot propagandists preach is that is it demasculinizes and goofs sperm count and quality, and genetic stuff.
I dont have a clue who to believe on that. I do know that some have told me they got high just from smoking the leaves of the plant not the bud, could be the carbon monoxide? I tried “mullin”/rabbit tobacco? one time (the green tobacco cousin) and it did nothing for me back when I had the lung capacity of a elephant. The DEA allows “trace” ammounts of THC in the hemp oil you can buy at the stoe’ but noone I know says it is enuff to get anyone a buzz?
Plus you get at least most of the omega and phytonutrients of the plant, we just have to import it or get it from the official government farms that sell their dope to the Amsterdam crowd supposedly.
(Hot issue man, this could be pasted into its own thread ifn’youz ax me)

10:26 amHow about a article on “what should be done with the old freight station and the topic of eminent domain.
The paper said they made the firm offer of 95,000 for the property and I heard that they may move the historical building with, some say, bulett holes from the Rowan Co War. How much will it cost to move the passenger station?
“They” wanted to tear that down too but I guess there was some resistance?
-
pseudonomen onSeptember 13, 2007
3:48 pmWell it is evident from older photographs that the Freight Station was built long before the brick Passenger Depot. So if they plan on moving and perhaps restoring the old Freight Station, how much money could be gained to lay some track to pull an engine and couple of cars onto once in a while, like during festivals and the likes?
With the Freight Station (the old Passenger Depot), being moved to another location, I don’t see what great loss there would be from tearing down the newer brick building.

pseudonomen onSeptember 13, 2007
4:34 pmOn the (required) nick thing, I’m not a bit more offended than I would be offended by a gift of ten pounds of gold. Pseudonomen was actually inspired and derived from your nick and writings, Pseudonomen actually means simply that I will not be restricted to a given name, and serves as a reminder that others shouldn’t be subjected to those restrictions either. We can become whomever we choose as far as names and subject matter goes, only as long as we aren’t impersonating another to the point and extent of becoming an impostor or doing so for other malicious purposes.
But the point of that post above is as simple as you have the basic human right to be known only as Tech or any other nick you choose for yourself without your real name being plastered all over the internet.
Some folks could care less about sharing their true identity over the internet, but I see that as irresponsible in todays world of internet stalkers and the likes thereof. As you pointed out to another member in another post, there are internet stalkers and identity thieves that will use every little peace of information that we type onto the web to build “Identity Profiles”.
But in short yes, psuedonomen was inspired by TechKnomen for what it is worth.
Im not real sure waht you mean by “…and rumor has it he even has friends (and sympathisers)” but a TechKnomen is who got me started blogging in the first place, so I think “friend” would be the right word, or in any event, despite the misunderstandings that we have had mostly due to packet errors, that we could call one another friends. I mean it’s not like I’m out to get you or like your out to get me or anything. At least in real life we both have members in common within our circles of friends.

5:23 pmYeah this thread has gotton off on this topic (mainly due to me)
and I guess technically it would not work to post a article and link to this thread?
or paste the pertainent posts over with a reference that it came from here?
I was also suggesting a article separately for the Emenient Domain (95K take it or leave it)to be used to seize the Freight Station for parking for the (University’s?) Morehead Conference Center.
How about another Cross walk like by the middle school over to much bigger parking lot accross the bypass?
In Mt Sterling they had loooong ramps instead of elevators that need maintenance and upkeep and ‘lectric
Dont get me wrong I have no affiliation with the owners of that property but if the guy dosent want the offer is emminent domain justified for a parking lot?
Does a parking lot have the potential to generate more tax re-venue than a liquor stoe’?

4:28 pmIt took me a while to dig this article out of the archives, but I have a question and wanted it to go in the right place;
I keep seeing and hearing advertisements for this hempUSA website, and seen some coffee there that I’d like to try out. Only trouble is, It’s rather highly priced…
So I was wondering…
Is there any stores within 60 miles or so that carry those products, and maybe at lesser prices? -
nighthawk onFebruary 7, 2008

5:53 pm“Washed”(thc washed out?) DEA allowed hemp seed and oil is available from “Good Foods Co-op” southland drive Lexingtion or
Roberts Healthfood may have some in East Land Center or
Wild Oats in Lexington Green off Nicholasville has some too.Omega 3 oil is SERIOUSLY lacking in the American Diet and on the decline since Crisco was given away in the Depression.
Walnuts, Sardines, Hempseed and most non farm raised coldwater fish has this esential fatty acid that we have to have to avoid dementia and even psoriiciss, infamitory disorders caused by the double whammy of the 2lowest diet in omega3 in the world and the highest diets of hydrogenated and whatever is cheepest oils this week at the factory, corn and or cotton seed and or soybean and or ?
Polyunsatured oils are not that great. Grain feed beef, farm fish, and omega 6 overload leads to all sorts of inflamitory diseases and sticky sick insulin resistance cell walls BUT ITS GOOD FER BIG PHARMA STOCKS EH???Our brains have THC receptors but it is the Devil’s weed haaaaaaawwwwwuhh! can I git a amen?

8:08 pmOk, that was a cute comeback with the Michael Jackson’s Sleeping Chamber. Do you know that thousands of people have paid to literally have just their heads frozen to be ‘revived’ in the future when technology becomes available? Now that’s weird. Some are having their entire bodies frozen. Some people should have themselves frozen now! LOL With all the chronic illness I could be frozen before I die from them. My luck, I’d be brought back to life as Rosie O’Donnell! YIKES! Anyway, good thought. Where in the world, or should I say, Morehead, are you legally getting hemp to take internally? That I’ve never heard of using except for cancer patients. The Omega 3’s are the best. Also FRESH Royal Honey, the Queen’s Nectar from a company called “BEE-ALIVE”, is wonderful. It is one of the few things that helps with the pain of the Fibromyalgia.

12:20 amI wood poot thez on the fun stuf thred but dope (really strong female canabis sativa l)
is not always fun. Smokers find it entertaining to see a newby get all paranoid and even the CIA has assesed it useing our tax dollars, as a way to make spy types talkitive, so it aint always fun stuff. I do theorise that is is a useful herb for a whole range of heathly reasons. The chinese use it 4000 bleeping years ago for extreme morning sickness of the kind that has almost KILLED many ameriKan womyn but the western medical mind is BRAINWASHED against it in favor of some much more receint BREATHENE? cancer pill that costs the earth, like $70buck per pill in stead of something that can be grown by those that are so inept they cant remember to water the tomatoes? F*#$%@# bleeped up country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here’s an image I found that might help explain some of the industrial uses of hemp.
As already discussed, it can be grown sterile (without the THC).
February 29th, 2008 at 11:37 am
I think a GREEEAT comparison issue might be the CASINOs…
(Again Hemp/canabis Sativa L male plants can still have THC, like men have some estogen but it is counter acted by other hormones/phyto-chemicals, there is a vvvveery low THC canadian hemp line being imported to the US “Nutiva” is one brand, but no one admits to chemical “washing” out of the THC it is said to be bread for low THC)
That said the current accountants claim Kentucky needs casinos allong with all their ills to benifit our budetary shortfall and because we are losing re-venue to other states with gambling. Seems to me that is a valid compairison to Hemp, which actuall produces somethings from the sun and soil, not just gamblers, what else besides gamblers does a casino actually produce? Too many powers that bee would be hurt by widespread hemp & related production, PLUS it would roadblock the slide of de-industrialization of the “several states” in favor of the globalony-socialists-information age service economy of sustainabilty? Which is a bit ironic dont’ja think, since hemp can be a fairly carbon neutral crop if done right, once you add up all the uses of the crop. It can depelet the soils sure but good rotation and organic efforts can minimise that, besides the ole biblical fallow every 7 years LAW.
February 29th, 2008 at 11:55 am
Will it show positive in a drug test?
“(Again Hemp/canabis Sativa L male plants can still have THC, like men have some estogen but it is counter acted by other hormones/phyto-chemicals, there is a vvvveery low THC canadian hemp line being imported to the US “Nutiva” is one brand, but no one admits to chemical “washing” out of the THC it is said to be bread for low THC)”
If not one may as well say it doesn’t have any THC. Those enzymes you keep talking about counteract the effects of THC anyhow, so how could it matter one way or another if it contains minute amounts of THC or not?
But good point on the gambling issue.
Gambling produces only one thing, Gamblers. While Hemp produces many, many useful things.
February 29th, 2008 at 11:58 am
Did I spell that word right “minute” as in my-nute not min-it?
Been wondering about the two words being spelled the same… or not.
February 29th, 2008 at 12:35 pm
“mynoot” is how it sounds meaning miniscule.
Law enforcement crowd has been the biggest road block, of course. I suspect that consumption of large quantities of “Hemp” foods and oil could show a sporadic occasional weak positive drug test, or hair test. THERE are other plants that make THC in low quantities.
I just don’t see how all the THC can be completely washed out of hemp, just like alot of products advertise “sugar free” or Fat Free,
THC free likely meets a DEA/FDA definition for a very small amount(or less) but not zero.
Those sugar substitute packets even get to lable ZERO calories when it is actually 4 cal per packet so if you over do it with 10packets in the the tea at lunch and dinner a diabetic has to remeber that is 80 extra carb calories, I suspect the same does apple to THC free products.
Get a pint of hempseed oil and a back of shelled hemp seed and eat it the day or two before a drug test, bring inte bottle and the bag to o show what you did and see if you get fired for a positive test? I’m waiting….

Where is all the wildcat drillers from years past
seemed like when prices went up they came out of the woodwork
? EPA banned?
Where is all the biodesil since desil is 4.50+
Willie Nelson’s operation doing any good?
July 18th, 2008 at 12:20 pm
I seen Willie’s "Farm-Aid" friend Neil Young on KET early this morning talking about
how the technology for electric powered cars without batteries exist, air power cars,
and water gas, and yes even insinuating hempoline (but he said "green fuels")…
So Willie and friends are still working to get the ball rolling…
But I think they are working more along the lines of moving away from the "combustion engine"
July 18th, 2008 at 12:28 pm
He mentioned his biofuel humvee and the idea that
big stuff needs to be moved around, heck nobody has
yet put forward a clear explaination for how the great
pyamids were built, forget prediction of next week’s weather;
IF a ICengine can run on LP gas why not
Brown’s gas or ultrasonic vaporised gasoline?
who cares if you get more energy out than is put in, if
your mileage goes up and cost comes down and
imported oil is less?
Biodesil suposedly can be made for less than $70 cents a gallon
at home. Where are the TV commercials for
the home biodesil kit? Seems like the fix is in somehow.
July 18th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
The old FreeSpeechTV site had a instructional video for making biodesil in a blender.
This was back in the mid-90’s when I seen it.
It might still be up somewhere? The theme of the video was making biodesil from hemp.
July 18th, 2008 at 12:49 pm
here is that video (i think):

Use jumbo panty hose on clearance sale to filter cooking oil or peanut oil or other vegetable oil can be compressed to a combustable mixture, by adding methanol like the truckers do up north, it will keep it from turning to chapstick in your tank in cold weatherand acts as a catalyst.
That Desil guy designed the engine so that farmers could grow their own fuel
like peanut oil, "will work for peanuts" remember, they used to be cheep.
July 18th, 2008 at 4:01 pm
I have seen years ago several stories on folks from Missouri to Seattle making their own desil fuel from "free" oil they get at restaurants but that cannot supply even a small fraction of the needs of desil consumption for this country. Hemp and algae and switchgrass all are needed and other non-food crops besides corn and sugar can be used to make methanol.
July 18th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Biodesil is just a cheep alternative while this oil scam is wrot, there is oil out there and they have fanaggled a lack of refinery capacity and classified who knows how much of the known proven reserves besides the North SLope and Gull Island and Flackman Island that were hushed up. Why did the Alaska pipeline get built if it was so dang vernable to attack and only gonna last 30years when there are over 300years of oil up there plus natural gas by the billions of cubic feet being pumped back into the ground every month, 30years worth. There are production quotas around the country too to protect the price by the way.
August 5th, 2008 at 8:06 pm
Speaking of Hemp:
Anyone know where I can get some good Green Jeans (preferably colored blue) that wont wear out after the first 4 or 5 washings (preferably locally)?
These so-called Blue Jeans just aren’t what they used to be.
August 10th, 2008 at 10:45 am
Hey why is this uncategorised and not in the articles
side? WHat were you smoking?
August 10th, 2008 at 3:16 pm
The post that this one originally sprang from was still active, and if not badly mistaken uncategorized posts were on the front page too back when written.
It also keeps it easier for some of us to find in this little used uncategory.
I was smoking a Marlboro red king size at that time before the price of gas skyrocketed.
Could have been several of them while I thought over the layout of this page.
August 23rd, 2008 at 11:12 pm
I am still looking for a place where I can find some green-jeans colored blue.
I’m getting tired of buying a new pair of big-industry junk after every third wash.
Preferably local ~15-20 miles at the most as I will probably have to ride the bicycle
after the druggies siphoned my crown victoria last night.
September 9th, 2008 at 10:10 pm
Was there any usable case-law derived from the COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY vs Woody Harrelson trial?
I know he was acquitted and all, but did it open any doors or just serve to confuse things?
BTW: Still looking for a pair or two or maybe a dozen green jeans colored blue.
Might be interested in some shirts too if prices aren’t too high.
September 10th, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I think that I’ve found my own answer to the question of where to find a good pair of “green jeans” colored blue: http://www.kentuckyhemp.com/
Prices seem reasonable enough considering that I won’t have to trash them after the third or fourth washing.
September 11th, 2008 at 10:50 am
You may not have to trash them but your great grandyoung’ens might !LOL!
that address was http://www.hempusa.org oops

Rereading some of this discussion on Hemp verses pot and
hemp can be cross polinated just like the pot can be
SO a seed crop could get some higher thc in it at random from
the open air pollen droping in by chance.
Just like the canadians have done to isolate strains of hemp/pot
with a DEA approved trace level of THC a dedicated effort
could take that hemp and selectively raise back the THC levels
if they know what they are doing. The Cannabis plant is the cannabis
plant is the cannabis plant there are just different strains or varieties.
Green tomatoes just are not as juicy or tastey
but they are tomatoes.
We have to work on instilling self discipline and moderation into our
people as the current drug problems illustrate
those who want to get high or doped up will find a way if they have to
steal some grannies pain meds or what ever.
Pot ain’t the problem but it could be a path to
all sorts of solutions, it is a travesty and tragedy that it is illegal to
have natural (not GM) hemp as a commercial crop “THC free” or not.

Is this the case of a County Government suing the Federal Government?
The lawsuit, County of Santa Cruz v. Gonzales, C03-1802JF, by Santa Cruz County against the U.S. attorney general alleges the federal government has targeted enforcement to make it impossible for California to implement and enforce its law…
http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1202423965375
If this is what it appears to be, then it looks as if even the psychoactive properties of the hemp plant could have some industrial uses.
