* The hemp seed is the highest of any plant in essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. These essential fatty acids are responsible for our immune response...and contribute tomore disease resistance. (Hempseed Nutrition by Lynn Osburn).
* Hempseed was used to treat nutritional deficiencies brought on by tuberculosis, a severe nutrition blocking disease that causes the body to waste away. (Czechoslovakia Tubercular Nutritional Study, 1955.)
* Hemp seed protein more closely resembles that of the human body than soy; it is also easier to digest. Hemp contains a richer source of essential fatty acid oils than soy. These oils prevent heart disease and build the immune system. Hemp also resists UV-B light, which is a kind of sunlight that is blocked by the ozone layer. Soy beans do not take UV-B light very well. If the ozone layer were to deplete by 16%, which by some estimates is very possible, soy production would fall by 25-30%. We may have to grow hemp or starve -- and it won't be the first time that this has happened. Hemp has been used to "bail out" many populations in time of famine.
* Hemp grain is the most nutritionally complete seed on the planet for human consumption. Each hemp seed contains 25% protein. This protein is more easily digestible than the protein in soybeans because it contains a perfect ratio of essential fatty acids (EFA's). EFA's are important for strengthening your immune system and protecting you from disease. Fish oil and flax oil are also high in EFA's, but hemp contains the most perfect ratio of EFA's for human consumption. Hemp grain is also high in iron and calcium and is an excellent source of dietary fiber
* Ralph Loziers, general counsel of the National Institute of Oilseed Products, told the Congressional committee studying marijuana prohibition in 1937 that, Hemp seed is used in all the Oriental nations and also in a part of Russia as food. It is grown in their fields and used as oatmeal.
* Hemp seed oil has been called Nature's perfect blend of Essential Fatty Acids due to the large amount of these substances contained in the oil. Specifically Hemp seed oil has large amounts of Lineolenic (Omega-3), and Lineoleic (Omega-6) fatty acids. These are considered to be essential by nutritionists since humans are unable to synthesize them, thus they must consume them from an external source.
* Many Essential Nutrients Found in Hemp Seed July 27, 2000
By Nancy Ross Ryan - Chicago Tribune
Source: Spokane.net www.spokane.net www.cannabisnews.com
According to the latest research, there are about 45 nutrients that humans can't live without and which their bodies can't manufacture: 21 minerals, 13 vitamins, eight amino acids and two essential fatty acids. No single food has them all. But when a food is discovered that is a rich source of several essential nutrients, such as hemp seed, it makes nutrition news. Its promoters bill hemp seed as the soybean of the new millennium. In addition to containing vitamins and minerals (calcium, iron, thiamine, niacin and riboflavin), hemp seed, like the soybean, is a vegetable source of complete protein, having all eight amino acids. Hemp oil (pressed from the hemp seed) is, according to many, the best source of the two essential fatty acids (or EFAs) we can't live without: omega 3 alpha-linolenic acid and omega 6 linoleic acid.
In 1992 a consortium of 20 British farmers requested permission to grow industrial hemp, a crop that had been banned since 1971. Home Office Minister Michael Jack saw no reason to oppose the request since industrial hemp had been grown for years on the Continent "without any problems". The farmers received licenses to cultivate 1500 acres. In 1993 a consortium of 10 Canadian farmers requested permission to grow hemp, a crop that had been banned since 1923. The federal government informed them the law would have to be changed before commercial plots could be harvested. However, seeing that "farmers in Canada are very interested in it", Health Minister Diane Marleau issued a permit for 18 acres of experimental plots. The next year Parliament enabled commercial harvests.

A HEALTHY BODY IN AND OUT!
* Hemp is a strong, natural medicine: hemp oil is the richest known source of "the good" polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, proven to be effective treatment for patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gallstones, kidney degeneration, acne, dry skin, menstrual problems, and immune deficiency.
* Cannabis extracts served as the second and third most prescribed medicines in the U.S. from 1842 until the 1890's. These medicines ere produced by Eli Lily, Parke-Davis, Tilden's, Brothers Smith. Squib, and other British and American companies. During this entire period of time, there was not one reported death from cannabis extract medicines.
* Hemp extracts can be used to treat a variety of physical and mental ailments which include tuberculosis, glaucoma, depression, and the side effects of cancer therapy. Prior to thiscentury, cannabis extracts were the most commonly used medicines throughout the world.
* Hemp is nutrient-rich: the seeds of the hemp plant contain approximately 25 percent protein, almost as much as soybeans, and in fact are far higher in fiber and certain vitamins and minerals.
* Hemp is delicious: hemp foodstuffs currently on the market include cooking oil, salad dressing,
cheese, flavored seeds, non-dairy milk, hemp flour for high-quality baked goods, and soy-type products such as hemp burgers.
* Hemp is a natural beauty product: hemp seeds are composed of 30 percent oils, which are the highest natural source of linoleic and linolenic acids, the compounds responsible for the luster of skin, hair and eyes; these extracts are now popular ingredients in massage oils, lip balms, soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Cannabis Building Materials & Housing
A Brief Summary of the Uses of Hemp
www.jackherer.com/book/ch02.html
Practical, inexpensive fire-resistant construction material, with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities, is made by heating and compressing plant fibers to creat strong construction paneling, replacing dry wall and plywood. William B. Conde of Conde's Redwood Lumber, Inc. near Eugene, Oregon, in conjunction with Washington State University (1991-1993), has demonstrated the superior strength, flexibility, and economy of hemp composite building materials compared to wood fiber, even as beams.
Isochanvre, a rediscovered French building material made from hemp hurds mixed with lime, actually petrifies into a mineral state and lasts for many centuries. Archeologists have found a bridge in the south of France, from the Merovingian period (500-751 A.D.), built with this process. (See Chenevotte habitat of Rene, France in Appendix I.)
Hemp has been used throughout history for carpet backing. Hemp fiber has potential in the manufacture of strong, rot resistant carpeting - eliminating the poisonous fumes of burning synthetic materials in a house or commercial fire, along with allergic reactions associated with new synthetic carpeting.
Plastic plumbing pipe (PVC pipes) can be manufactured using renewable hemp cellulose as the chemical feedstocks, replacing non-renewable coal or petroleum-based chemical feedstocks.
So we can envision a house of the future built, plumbed, painted and furnished with the world's number-one renewable resource - hemp. When Hemp Saved George Bush's Life

HEMP "EATS" CHERNOBYL WASTE, OFFERS HOPE FOR HANFORD
Central Oregon Green Pages
An explosion at a nuclear reactor on April 26th, 1986 in Chernobyl, Ukraine created the world's worst nuclear disaster - so far. The blast heavily contaminated agricultural lands in a 30 km radius around the reactor. The few people still living there must monitor their food and water for radiation. However the combination of a new technology (phytoremediation) and an old crop (industrial hemp) may offer the Ukraine a way to decontaminate it's radioactive soil. In 1998, Consolidated Growers and Processors (CGP), PHYTOTECH, and the Ukraine's Institute of Bast Crops began what may be one of the most important projects in history - the planting of industrial hemp for the removal of contaminants in the soil near Chernobyl.

A HEALTHY BODY IN AND OUT!
* Hemp is a strong, natural medicine: hemp oil is the richest known source of "the good" polyunsaturated essential fatty acids, proven to be effective treatment for patients suffering from cancer, cardiovascular disease, glandular atrophy, gallstones, kidney degeneration, acne, dry skin, menstrual problems, and immune deficiency.
* Cannabis extracts served as the second and third most prescribed medicines in the U.S. from 1842 until the 1890's. These medicines ere produced by Eli Lily, Parke-Davis, Tilden's, Brothers Smith. Squib, and other British and American companies. During this entire period of time, there was not one reported death from cannabis extract medicines.
* Hemp extracts can be used to treat a variety of physical and mental ailments which include tuberculosis, glaucoma, depression, and the side effects of cancer therapy. Prior to thiscentury, cannabis extracts were the most commonly used medicines throughout the world.
* Hemp is nutrient-rich: the seeds of the hemp plant contain approximately 25 percent protein, almost as much as soybeans, and in fact are far higher in fiber and certain vitamins and minerals.
* Hemp is delicious: hemp foodstuffs currently on the market include cooking oil, salad dressing,
cheese, flavored seeds, non-dairy milk, hemp flour for high-quality baked goods, and soy-type products such as hemp burgers.
* Hemp is a natural beauty product: hemp seeds are composed of 30 percent oils, which are the highest natural source of linoleic and linolenic acids, the compounds responsible for the luster of skin, hair and eyes; these extracts are now popular ingredients in massage oils, lip balms, soaps, shampoos, and lotions.

Cannabis Building Materials & Housing
A Brief Summary of the Uses of Hemp
www.jackherer.com/book/ch02.html
Practical, inexpensive fire-resistant construction material, with excellent thermal and sound-insulating qualities, is made by heating and compressing plant fibers to creat strong construction paneling, replacing dry wall and plywood. William B. Conde of Conde's Redwood Lumber, Inc. near Eugene, Oregon, in conjunction with Washington State University (1991-1993), has demonstrated the superior strength, flexibility, and economy of hemp composite building materials compared to wood fiber, even as beams.
Isochanvre, a rediscovered French building material made from hemp hurds mixed with lime, actually petrifies into a mineral state and lasts for many centuries. Archeologists have found a bridge in the south of France, from the Merovingian period (500-751 A.D.), built with this process. (See Chenevotte habitat of Rene, France in Appendix I.)
Hemp has been used throughout history for carpet backing. Hemp fiber has potential in the manufacture of strong, rot resistant carpeting - eliminating the poisonous fumes of burning synthetic materials in a house or commercial fire, along with allergic reactions associated with new synthetic carpeting.
Plastic plumbing pipe (PVC pipes) can be manufactured using renewable hemp cellulose as the chemical feedstocks, replacing non-renewable coal or petroleum-based chemical feedstocks.
So we can envision a house of the future built, plumbed, painted and furnished with the world's number-one renewable resource - hemp. When Hemp Saved George Bush's Life

HEMP "EATS" CHERNOBYL WASTE, OFFERS HOPE FOR HANFORD
Central Oregon Green Pages
An explosion at a nuclear reactor on April 26th, 1986 in Chernobyl, Ukraine created the world's worst nuclear disaster - so far. The blast heavily contaminated agricultural lands in a 30 km radius around the reactor. The few people still living there must monitor their food and water for radiation. However the combination of a new technology (phytoremediation) and an old crop (industrial hemp) may offer the Ukraine a way to decontaminate it's radioactive soil. In 1998, Consolidated Growers and Processors (CGP), PHYTOTECH, and the Ukraine's Institute of Bast Crops began what may be one of the most important projects in history - the planting of industrial hemp for the removal of contaminants in the soil near Chernobyl.

"Arbitrary and capricious" is legal language that was used by DEA Administrative Law Judge Francis Young in 1988 to conclude that DEA was obligated under the Controlled Substances Act to reschedule marijuana as a prescription medicine. DEA Chief Administrator Robert Bonner proceeded to arbitrarily and capriciously disregard Judge Young's well researched and reasoned decision, which the Act allowed him to do.
