Thank you United States Media and Congress for your time

Legalizing cannabis will lead to a reduction of pharmaceutical sales in the United States. In 1992 congress passed the User Fee Act know as PDUFA which basically makes the pharmaceutical companies responsible for funding the FDA who is in place to regulate safe trade of the pharmaceutical companies. Vioxx is a example of the failure of this Act. In its four year history (http://skeptically.org/polrec/id21.html) vioxx killed over 100,000 people. The FDA did not ask the company to take the pills off the shelf. The DEA did not ask the company to take the pill off the shelf as these two agencies work for the pharmaceutical companies and their profit motivated existence. The FDA tells me on record that they made 1.8 billion dollars off the pharmaceutical companies last year, on the books. That is about 20% of the profits the DEA headquarters tells me. Each year a new molecule can be charged up to 500,000 dollars to be approved by the FDA. If that was all the agency made on the sale of this deadly drug each year, which was sold for the same things that cannabis safely cures, then for every death they made 20 dollars to turn a blind eye. In countries such as the Czech Republic the crime rate is 72 times less then the United States according to the FBI’s statistics. The difference in countries is that cannabis is freely distributed and on the verge of becoming officially legal in the Czech Republic. Switzerland is the only country in the world where it is officially legal. The banks of this very same country hold 35% off all off shore accounts on our planet and is home of the United Nations. Why does this matter? If a industry has multiple billions of dollars in banks and are corrupt they can buy and sell currency in money market accounts with unregulated amounts of trades and drain a economy of its value if funds can not be matched. This may be one reason Switzerland does not accept money from United States citizens. Reliable sources tell me that 95% of the heroin on the streets of America is synthetic based and made in this country. Florida streets are flooded with oxycodones which are patented by a United States company based somewhat in Virginia. The DEA told me a few months ago on record that they are unaware there is synthetic heroin on the streets. For a while in America we have had numerous fentenyl deaths, which is on average 100 times stronger then morphine, that is being cut in with the synthetic heroin that controls are streets. If anyone has had a elderly person they knew who has died in the hospital with pain they know how the pain relievers addictive quality is responsible for their death. First they are prescribed oxycodone. The next strongest thing is morphine, which once switched on from oxycodone , means to come off will result in death being in their weaken state and most die shortly afterwards. In hospital for surgical procedures fentenyl is not used to put a person out as it shuts down the lungs which leads to death. Safer things are used that in small doses can knock out a 300 pound man in seconds. There is a type of fentenly called carfentenly which is 10,000 times the strength of morphine marketed under Wildnil. It is not controlled by doctors and is used to supposedly sedate large animals. According to DEA headquarters, who I have on recording (being granted interviews post hundreds of calls and months of hang-ups), after the animal is brought to the point of death from the lungs being shut down they are supposedly brought back to life enough to be handled with out dieing. The DEA allots how much of a pharmaceutical a company will make. The DEA and FDA are keeping cannabis illegal even though the latest studies I will include show it increases brain function, safely lowers blood pressure, safely relieves depression, alleviates pain with no with drawl symptoms, and has never killed a single person in its 250,000 year history. Will pharmaceutical sales diminish if cannabis is legalized? Yes. Is this a bad thing? Not if you are not a greedy heartless person who does no care about the freedom and well-being of the people.
In the following links you will also read how cannabis restricts cancerous growths. The best way to take this organic vitamin of sorts is via a vaporizer. THC burns at about 420 degrees F while combustion of plant material occurs at around 850 degrees F. Because of this a metal plate is heated to a certain controlled temperature and the THC vapor can be put into the blood stream safely through the lungs with out being broken down into other substances by way of stomach acid intervention. Some may say that cannabis contains hydrocarbons if smoked which we all know causes cancer. This is a common misconception as hydrocarbons are derivates of petroleum. (A hydrocarbon is better defined as an organic chemical compound of hydrogen and carbon, called petroleum. The molecular structure of hydrocarbon compounds varies from the simplest, methane (CH4), a constituent of natural gas, to the very heavy and very complex. Octane, for example, a constituent of crude oil, is one of the heavier, more complex molecules.) All synthetics are made with hydrocarbon derived solvents and are being substituted in many foods for cost effectiveness. Synthetic fertilizers are made from these solvents and will stay in the plants when eaten or smoked so although cannabis may produce hydrocarbons in the smoke it is only due to mans own hand which is why organics are so important. I am a grower and have a bit of knowledge in the field. In studies done with annual plants kept under 24 hour lighting to restrict the biochemical phytochrome, which is responsible for telling the plant to flower as the dark cycles increase with the progression of the seasons, the plant will live forever. Let me rephrase that, with a balanced organic nutrition the plant can live forever under a proper light spectrum in a controlled hydroponic environment. Some of the best controlled environmental growers in the world have tried to keep these plants alive in hydroponic systems having no organic medium using a balanced synthetic fertilizer feeding system and never has a plant lived over 5 years. The DNA is slowly broken down to the point of what resembles a cancerous death. If only there was a organic medicine that was not taken from the people to use for free if grown by their own hand as a orange or tomato can be grown to promote health along with overall wellbeing. A plant that we have evolved with since the beginning of mankind. In the human brain we have cannaboid receptors which are activated with cannabis hence the name. We have these as through the ages this is what we have used to safely better the quality of life amongst our people. To better understand organic chemistry go to www.gorillagrow.org and go about half way down under the resources tab. All pharmaceuticals are derived from hydrocarbon solvents with extremely long half lives that can not be broken down by organic life. This is one reason bacteria can not break down plastic. Yes, if you are wondering, the byproducts of non biodiesel fuel do emit hydrocarbons in the air when used to run combustion engines. Henery Ford accually made a car in the late 1940’s that not only ran on non toxic hemp fuel, but the panels on the car were made of hemp biodegradable plastics that were 10 times the strength of steel. Hemp which grows faster then any plant on earth can be used to replace all of our fuel needs on earth at the same time helping to eliminate the green house effect caused from the burning of petroleum hydrocarbons, coupled with deforestation, that will flood the earth after the ice caps melt putting the majority of land mass on our planet under water. Hemp produces 4 times per acre in a single harvest that of what trees can offer. Instead of waiting a minimum of ten years with trees hemp takes three to four months to harvest and in some area can be harvested three times a year. Here is a link to acquire more knowledge of hemp which offers a 100,000 dollar reward if you can prove any of the facts to be misconception. Hemp is more properly known as cannabis sativa. This plant is ten times the strength of cotton (the most polluting crop grown in America due to the pesticides needed and resulting nitrogen fixation run off that is destroying the fresh water supply of the nation). This is only a small sample of the benefits of cannabis and many more can be found at http://www.jackherer.com/chapter01.html .
It is time to give the people back their freedom in this so called “Land of the Free“. I my self will never have my complete freedom nor the ability to get a job as I face 25 years for growing the same crop as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson...hemp. Many other Americans are doing life in prisons for growing the plant that has never caused harm to a single person in the history of mankind. Production of acres of this plant can even fetch the death penalty under current laws. Although no one has been put to death for this many have had their lives taken away.

Here are world wide studies from top scientists of this earth proving what is mentioned above and more. Some sites may have been crashed by the US pharmicuetical companies I like to call The United States Government.

Dear Congress & DEA,

As the population continues to grow, our fellow inhabitants of the earth, plants and animals alike, are being destroyed at a alarming rate. Over millions of years the plants have evolved together to give us what we need to survive. This natural balanced evolution has supplied all life with the vitamins necessary to thrive. In my career as a grower I have read countless studies on generational stability. If a plant is given chemical fertilizers through each successive generation, the genetics that progressively continue to be passed down from the prior become weakened to the point of eventual death. Annuals under 24 hour light being giving organic fertilizers can thrive indefinitely, the same plant being given chemical fertilizers with the same NPK values has trouble reaching its fifth year. The chemical pharmaceuticals that we, as Americans, are given for illnesses may not be helping the human DNA evolve in harmony with the rest of the plants due to the incompatibility of synthetic chemistry with biochemistry. If a person is to contract influenza, the options at the local store to cure this virus are not only expensive, but have not evolved with our bodies.
I have studied many plants from around the world and in my studies I came across the olive tree. This same plant, held by the eagle as a national symbol, has been forgotten in terms of its miracle medicinal uses. (1) There are biochemical elements in the olive tree found nowhere else in nature that allow this tree, native to the Red Sea region, to thrive where others cannot. In fact the olive tree used to overgrow the Sahara Desert many years ago. The bio-chemical oleuropein found in the olive tree is made up in part by elenolic acid. A component of the elenolic acid is a calcium ion more complex then any other calcium ion found, as of yet, on the earth. Calcium, due to its chemical structure and balance, has the capability to kill a virus. I read a study that was done in the 1960’s where this ion was tested on every virus known at the time including: hepatitis A, B, C, meningitis, malaria, influenza, and the common cold. The calcium killed every one of them. This was in 1960, yet if a person was to read about hepatitis C today, most resources will tell them that there is no cure. Instead of providing these individuals with a life saving organic cure they are given immense amounts of chemicals that may prolong life but does not kill the virus. While these people suffer in ignorance, pharmaceutical companies are banking on their misfortunes until that person’s life is cut short. Why is it that even doctors I speak with do not know of this substance that I use when I get the flu and with which I cure myself in under one day?
While I school myself in my many fields of interest, providing I do not have to worry about being locked up by corrupt judges who deem me not competent enough to stand trial for two months regarding a class C misdemeanor, I have learned that the DNA of our bodies needs fuel to regenerate. One of the most vital foods the DNA uses goes by the name of auxin. Auxins, produced by the break down of tryptophans, depending on their concentration, regulates the speed of regeneration and growth. Their chemical makeup is comprised of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. In the human body the highest concentration of auxins is found in the liver followed by the lungs. The concentration of auxins in the lungs regulate that they regenerate every seven years, which is why illnesses such as asthma go in seven-year cycles. Brain biochemical levels and in turn auxin like biochemical levels are highest at birth. A human baby up to the age of six can regenerate a lost fingertip (like a frog can regenerate a leg with no trace of a scar) due to the high auxin levels found in the body.
Most forms of cancer come with age. Individuals who eat natural auxins (antioxidants) found in things such as Ascophyllum Nodosum, a kelp plant native to Norway, or blue-green algae also rich in glyceric acid, have less risk of developing cancer. In cases of people who have cancer, the auxins could organically aid in detoxifying cells. (2) A dieing plant, which shares 50% of the same DNA as humans, can be brought back to life with regulated auxin treatments. Auxins must be balanced at approximately a 30/70 ratio with cytokinins, but regardless regeneration is not possible with the pills we are sold. All the pills do for the most part is mask the symptoms or cut off receptors to mask the pain. If these pills are given to a plant, the plant will die. Our bodies live in a balance with different symbiotic bacteria that cannot live in the conditions created by these pills or any synthetics. Pills stay on the shelves for a certain number of years before people are allowed to prove they are harmful and in 95% of the cases this holds true.
The main seller in America is opiod based pills which adjust the ph of the body and make people extremely sick when use is discontinued. The heroin that floods our streets is known by dealers as p-dope. The origins are our pharmaceutical companies many of who set up in the Florida area. If people where allowed to grow their own medicine the sales of heroin would grow much weaker. Why has a pharmaceutical company never been busted for flooding the American street with the majority of the heroin sold? Is it that hard to test the heroin for organic origins? The DEA gave a recorded comment that they are unaware there is any synthetic heroin on the streets. Why are the American farmers not asked to grow wild lettuce for its, zero with drawl biochemical pain killer? My guess would be heartless individuals motivated by profits.
I have found a company in Switzerland, by the name of Biosynth, which makes human auxins. The website for the company is www.biosynth.com. The company also makes all of the eleven serotonins, which may benefit people with illness caused by low levels of serotonin such as Alzheimer’s. I was going to do studies with these bio-chemicals, and I could on for many pages, in relation to their growth as well as healing effects on plants and how generational stability is affected, yet I seem to be unable to get funding as it may make people too healthy, resulting in a loss of money from pharmaceutical companies’ pockets.
Also, the plant to best monitor results is cannabis and it seems to be a forbidden fruit. This plant, in which George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew and which the first two drafts of the constitution where written on before finally being put down on animal skin, is deemed harmful by United States law yet has never in the history of time been the cause of a single death and is in fact impossible to overdose on because it contains no poisons or harmful biochemical’s. My research and knowledge of healing is from my love of growing all things including my vitamins provided by cannabis, which is a part of all humans, and the only thing that can trigger the cannabinoid receptors of our brains, with which we are born. The biochemical cannabis releases is dopamine, which is the same chemical that is elevated in people who are in love or just plain happy. The latest studies from around the world prove the effects of cannabis regarding; relieving depression and elevating brain functions. (3),(4)
Cocaine, another plant extract, prolongs dopamine breakdown in the brain, yet both are deemed harmful. Because the cocaine is extracted with toxic acids, such as hydrochloric acid, a acid that eats the strongest of metals, my guess would be the hydrochloric acid is causing many of the problems associated with an overdose. Not a single death has been reported by chewing the leaf. Caffeine is much the same as cocaine, the major difference being, caffeine breaks down DNA where cocaine does not. How can there be laws saying I cannot grow a piece of the earth that has stood a longer test of time than the human species when it is the man made chemicals that are doing the harm?
If a child grows up around a common substance such as gasoline, the child learns respect, control, and gains a firm understanding of that substance which is why there is not a major problem with people going around lighting things on fire to see how gasoline burns. The gas is used as a tool. Gasoline is not the best tool as it releases harmful carbons into the air not found in bio-diesel, which can be made from the cannabis plant resulting in a healthier planet, but a tool nonetheless. Headaches are helped by caffeine, as are stomach ailments. Why could I not use something that is healthier for me? Some may say because I could overdose. Without knowledge, understanding and control this may be true of the extract alkaline cocaine, but it is also true that a person drinking too much water can deplete their system of vitamins and die. My sink and faucet are still free of fascist police scrutiny when I go for a drink of water. Once again I do not see how a piece of the earth can be made illegal if there are good benefits to be gained from it.
In Bolivia, where cocaine is legal, there is no problem with violence or addiction from chemical cutting agents and you can purchase the leaves this plant freely, just as it used to be in the United States, as a relief for a babies teething, without worry of harm. Switzerland, home of the United Nations headquarters, has made cannabis legal to grow and no adverse effects plague their country.
There is an energy crisis at hand as well as a growing problem with pollution. Plastics are being made from oil and are non-biodegradable. Plastics can actually be made in a recyclable form from the cellulose found in cannabis along with vitamins, building material and bio-fuels. Per acre, 4 times the material can be made from cannabis than trees and instead of waiting 80 years to harvest mature trees, 4 times the amount of material is ready in four months by using the cannabis/hemp plant, making it almost 1000 times more efficient. With the legalization of hemp plants there would be a drastic decrease in crime rates as can be seen through the example of prohibition being lifted from alcohol. The energy of love could then better manifest itself among the people of our great nations. People like myself would not have to worry about having my life destroyed for growing one of our organic allies. My purpose of writing is defined in two major questions:

1. How can a plant be illegal when it can offer so much potential to help lessen the level of pain felt on our planet as a whole?

2. Where are the people who care?

I have many other issues that need legislative attention, but out of them all I cannot think of one more important than taking the shackles off of mother earth and promoting the growth and knowledge of the hemp/cannabis plant for which we the people desire.
I can write much more in depth of the benefits of legalizing a simple plant, but I am sure you know them too well. If you need, I would be glad to put together many more pages of knowledge if you feel it would be helpful for yourself and others. If you can think of any way in which I can assist you please let me know.

CRS Report for Congress
Order Code RL33211
Medical Marijuana: Review and Analysis of Federal and State Policies
Updated May 3, 2006

Table of contents addressed:

A. Introduction: The Issue Before Congress

The issue before congress as I see it revolves around freedom of the citizens of the United States of America and the rest of the world. Focus should not be necessarily on the benefits of cannabis, which are numerous and will be listed in this report with supporting studies, but more is there any harm associated with the plant. Does it increase the level of pain in our society. From a toxic stand point it is impossible to overdose from the intake of THC, one of the main ingredients in the biochemical makeup of the plant. Because this is the case, the answer is simple, no, the plant will not cause physical pain in any way to the society in which we live.

The opposite of pain can be summed up as love. Pain is the worst thing to inflict upon another while love is the most beneficial and nurturing of gifts. The question is where does the intent to inflict pain stem from. Anger or being void of the ability to care for anything except ones self will lead a person to cause pain. The later of which is simply from not having the capability to see where this leads. Lets take the earth for an example. Lets say the person with the most power to sustain their will controls the Earths direction. If this person was to harvest the people in order to stay on the top, the world would lose the overall energy of love felt as a result of increasing the overall energy of pain inflicted upon the rest of the environment, to remain above the rest. The person on the top will still live in the environment around them. Over time the environment will deteriorate and the person at the top will eventually feel the same amount of pain as the person who had the most pain in the past when the cycle started, while still feeling the least amount of pain out of anyone being on top. The earth will be moving towards destruction lessening the overall feelings of love as the pain of death increases.

The fastest way to lessen the overall feeling of pain on the earth is by first helping those who live with the highest levels. Instead of compromising the weak we need to help them before anything else. As their love and happiness grows the ones directly in contact with them will also feel the lift in spirits and so on down the line all the way to the person who feels the least pain in their life. This person does not lose out by having their environment filled with pain, only the capacity to feel the love increase. The earth moves in a positive direction and eventually the person who feels the most pain will be where the person who felt the least was in past times. This is the only way to grow.

Anger has never been caused by the smoking of cannabis. In fact the natural dopamine release in the brain increases pleasure which can be shared with others in the form of love. Would this lessen violent crimes? Do happy people commit violent crimes? No, angry people commit violent crimes. Where does most of the crime in this nation stem from? Most of it stems from people needing to survive. The main cause of something that compromises a persons ability to survive is the synthetic heroin that floods the streets. Back in 1905 when heroin was of a organic nature and legal in this great country it could be found in the local pharmacy being sold for stomach ailments, clearness of mind, and overall wellbeing. It was sold for overall wellbeing as in its organic form a person does not get withdrawals to the point of where, if they do not take it, they can die. The heroin in this country is not of organic nature as labs, which are setup for as little as 200,000 dollars, can make a dose of phentinol or oxycodone for a fraction of a penny. By a dose lets say 20cc’s which on the street go for 20 dollars. A huge profit for the manufacturers if they are so blind to make money off others pain. The market only increases as the body is not able to come off it so easily. One must cycle off of it to have any hopes of recovery. A common game that is played on the streets is to adjust the potency of the heroin so that a person never knows the dose they are ingesting making it virtually impossible to cycle off. In order to stay healthy the person must maintain close to the level previously taken to stay healthy. In order to do that they must pay or suffer the ultimate pain of death. Eventually in a quest not to become deathly ill the person sells everything they have. In doing so they lose their means to sustain themselves and have to chose between stealing or death. This is because of the imbalance of the chemistry of synthetics with organic matter such as that which the human body is made up of. It is comparable to what would happen if a plant is grown at a declining or increasing pH then what it normally thrives. After the plant is slowly brought to this abnormal pH it can sustain its self there, although this will surly hasten its death. If the plant is instantly brought back to the pH it naturally thrives at the stress of the change will hasten its decline even faster and possibly cause death. The only way to get this plant back to health is to slowly cycle back to the normal pH then give time for the plant to heal. By not measuring the pH with each feeding the plant will not have a stable regime and since the direction of adjustment is more stressful to reverse it makes it impossible to bring a plant in the direction of health as that is the opposite direction of the trend. This is what the people of America are dealing with as a way to relax. It is not the best way to relax yet it is very real in our society. Would a person need to relax if they had freedom? Lack of control is the main cause of frustration. As the food sources grow smaller with the decline in farming the competition for food increases. The pressure increases and certain people, with no reality of what they are doing to the society as a whole, think it is beneficial to compromise the next person in order to survive. As mentioned before this only degrades the earth as a whole.

So what are we to do. Perhaps encourage growth and knowledge of the living world so that we do not need to be compromised by synthetics which the earth has not evolved with. Is giving a tool to learn growing and crop more farmers with harmful in any way? A grower will tell you how a annual (lasting one season) can be sustained for many years with 24 hours of light at all times. The plant does not produce the hormone phytochrome, triggered by darkness, which is how a plant knows when to reproduce and flower off the internal balance of its biochemical levels. The plant will last indefinitely based on the nutrition it is feed. With a proper balance of organics the plant can last forever while with the most balanced synthetic nutrients the plant has a hard time reaching its fifth year of life. By encouraging growth we could grow our own medicine and gain a understanding for how the earth recycles itself in the cycles of nature. Perhaps grow cannabis for overall sense of wellbeing increasing happiness, health, and love felt as a whole in our society on all parts of this globe in which we live. If we look at countries such as the Czech Republic where cannabis is legal we see the crime rate is divided by over 72 times that of Americas. In the Czech Republic the drug arrest rate is 1 per 100,000 in the population compared to the rate in the United States which is 585 per 100,000. The Czech robbery rate is 2 per 100,000 in the population compared to 145.9 per 100,000 according to the FBI. There are no drug arrests as there is no synthetic heroin problem as people are happy, free, and do not need an escape from the mental pain that eventually is felt in a physical nature. Happy people have less anger meaning they are causing less pain. The reduction in pain gives less of a need to relax hence the happiness.

Who in our nation would not benefit from this. Well if we ignore reason and the ability to see results of actions one could say the pharmaceutical labs that produce the synthetic heroin flooding our streets would obviously lose money. The two main organizations who oppose the legalization of cannabis are the FDA who will not allow hemp products to be sold with out a fight (hemp info to come) and the DEA who is responsible for its illegal status. The FDA gets the majority of their funding from the pharmaceutical companies and the rest from congress. The DEA sells the pharmaceutical companies the licenses to produce. The DEA states in interviews from the headquarters in Washington D.C. that they are unaware there is synthetic heroin on the streets in this country even though it takes up over 95% of the market. If it does not then why are people getting strung out on it unlike when it was sold back in 1905 in organic form for overall wellbeing and given to babies for teething. The empty people, whom do not have the ability to see the ramifications of their own actions and choose the path of the greedy bandwagon, can not say much to this at all. It took me over 100 phone calls to the DEA headquarters to even be able to have someone be authorized to speak to me on the subject of cannabis. Seconds before I mentioned synthetic heroin during the interview as a topic of discussion the DEA states they will answer as many questions as I have thinking we were only to discuss cannabis. About 2 minutes later into our 15 minute interview when they could say nothing that would not incriminate them at DEA headquarters the agent tells me he has no more time to talk. Having heard all I needed to hear regarding heroin I changed the topic quickly to hemp which he seemed to have time to discuss with irrational angles to cover his corrupt position on the subject. In fact in response to my question of why hemp is illegal in this country the gentleman began to laugh as if I had just become the worlds greatest comedian. Inside it only increased my pain to be free.

Well cannabis is obviously beneficial for reducing pain felt as a whole in the communities in which we live, now lets look at what other gifts, earths creation, has to offer that the planet has evolved with over the last 250,000 years. In the following paragraphs lets touch on products, the elevation of brain function, the cannaboid receptors in the brain, the medical benefits, the history of cannabis, the amount of knowledge growers have gained regarding the earth by growing it, forms of ingesting THC and stomach acid, advertising of synthetic forms by the ones keeping it illegal, basic biochemistry, and a few surprise topics thrown in here and there to keep the fires of interest burning for that new knowledge upon the horizon.

Before we start on those topics let me explain a bit more on how cannabis is impossible to overdose on. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given something called a LD-50. LD stands for lethal dose. The LD-50 is the amount of natural material or synthetic drug given to a test group that will cause death in half of the groups involuntary participants, usually consisting of lab animals. A number of researchers have attempted to determine cannabis’s LD-50 rating without success. In other words researchers have been unable to give animals enough of any of cannabis’ bio-chemicals to kill them. At present it is thought that cannabis’ LD-50 is around 1:20,000 to 1:40,000. The NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse) says a marijuana cigarette weighs approximately .9 grams. What this means is that in order to overdose on cannabis a person would need to smoke 1,500 pounds in 15 minutes. A person would have to ingest into their lungs 1.6 pounds of plant material a second for 15 minutes to get overdose on any part of the plant cannabis. Table salt is not this safe.

Products of cannabis cover a vast spectrum of the peoples everyday needs. From cannabis can be made; bio-fuels, fabric, biodegradable plastics, nutritional supplements, lubricants, rope, medicine, erosion control, paper, building material, and even car bodies as demonstrated by Henry Ford. The cannabis plant is considered biomass or organic matter available on a renewable basis. Biomass can be converted to methane, methanol or gasoline at a fraction of the current cost of oil, coal, or nuclear energy - especially when environmental costs are factored in - and its mandated use would end acid rain, end sulfur-based smog, and reverse the Greenhouse Effect on our planet. Unlike fossil fuels, biomass comes from living (not extinct) plants that continue to remove carbon dioxide pollution from our atmosphere as they grow. Cannabis grown for biomass is converted through pyrolysis or biochemical composting into fuels. Biochemical composting being the superior of the two. Cannabis is over four times richer in sustainable, renewable biomass/cellulose potential than its nearest rivals on the planet - cornstalks, sugarcane, rape seed, ect. These fuels have been in use since the early 1900’s to run tens of thousands of auto, farm and military vehicles until the end of World War II. Henry Ford's first Model-T was built to run on hemp gasoline and the car itself was constructed from hemp fibers grown on his estate The car, 'grown from the soil,' had hemp plastic panels whose impact strength was 10 times stronger than steel which was featured in popular mechanics back in 1941. In fact Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, designed it to run on vegetable and seed oils like hemp.

Cannabis fuel like all organic products is biodegradable meaning any oil spills become fertilizer not eco-catastrophes. Organically grown cannabis will produce zero hydrocarbons as they are only made by burning synthetics. The plant cannabis produces four times more cellulose per acre than trees. Cannabis fields can also be harvested in as little as three months as opposed to waiting 10 to 15 years minimum when growing trees. So at four times more cellulose per harvest and at least 40 more harvests in the same time as growing trees that is 160 times more cellulose then found with growing trees in a ten year span which is the minimum tree harvesting time. With the rainforests disappearing at an alarming rate the earth has little time to waste if any at all. The cellulose in hemp is 100% usable as product as well leaving behind zero waste. Cannabis is the only known plant that can be grown from the Equator to the Arctic. By comparison, cannabis is 4 times softer than cotton, 4 times warmer, 4 times more water absorbent, has 3 times the strength of cotton, is many times more durable. Cannabis fiber is also flame retardant, and doesn't use pesticides. Fifty percent of all pesticides are used on cotton, yet cotton uses only 1% of the farmland in the U.S. Cotton is the number one polluting crop grown in America do to nitrogen fixation as well as the pesticides that pollute our streams and rivers.

Cannabis is the healthiest plant for the ground out of the 300,000 known species, and the millions and millions of subspecies, of plants on Earth. Cannabis grows extremely fast due to its a root system that grows 10 to 12 inches in 30 days compared to one inch for rye, barley grass, etc. The roots penetrate up to 6 feet deep which would have saved many lives if planted in at risk areas for mud slides. After harvest it leaves a root system that is mulched into the ground, revitalizing the land and making it live once again. Cannabis is the best solution for loss of watershed, and river and soil erosion on Earth.

Cannabis was the number one annually renewable natural resource for 80% of all paper, fiber, textiles and fuel, from 6,000 years ago until it outlawing. Furthermore, it was used for 5 to 50% of the food, light, land and soil reclamation, and even 20% or more of all medicine. Cannabis fiber made up 70 to 90% of all rope, twine, cordage, ship sails, canvas, fiber, cloth, etc. It was replaced by DuPont's newly discovered petrochemical fiber (nylon) beginning in 1937. 1937 marks the rise of synthetics and the largest synthetic companies now fund the FDA and DEA with the majority of their funding. These are the two agencies keeping the plant illegal. Some would consider this greed, others would consider this rape. Regardless of what it is, it is safe to say this is wrong.

These agencies say there is no value in cannabis. Perhaps cannabis would say the same about them. These agencies advertise synthetic versions of this plant that is made in a lab by the companies they license. The products like the synthetic heroin flooding the streets come with a huge resale value. Synthetics do not recycle them selves like organics as seen in the nitrogen or sulfur cycles to name a couple. The half life of synthetics are measured in millenniums. The byproducts are pollution or an undesirable state of the natural environment being contaminated with unnatural substances as a consequence of human activities. These agencies claim that cannabis is only useful in their synthetic form. Medicinal value of cannabis dates back 6,000 years and the latest studies world wide show cannabis not only relieves pain, and depression, but increases brain function and even brain cell formation for that matter. Cannabis is beneficial for those who suffer from cancer, strokes, glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, sickle cell anemia, A.I.D.S., high blood pressure, and has been documented to help with appetite stimulation, anxiety, high blood pressure and muscle pains.

On September 6, 1988, the Drug Enforcement Administration's Chief Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young, ruled: "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man," and asked the Drug Enforcement Administration to reschedule it. The DEA refused, keeping it as a Schedule I drug, which they say "has no known medical use". They did not say it was harmful as that statement can not be backed up with medical fact.

The human brain has what are called cannaboid receptors. Every human is born with these receptors as they have been grown as a evolutionary tool of survival. They are called cannaboid receptors as the thing that stimulates them is cannabis.

So what happened to this miracle plant that prior to 1937 was used to make over 25,000 products? The United States Congress, in literally 90 seconds, outlawed cannabis in 1937, without the people realizing it was even happening. The year 1937 is the marked by the rise of pharmaceutical companies. The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 passed in Congress by using the unknown name "marijuana" (a Spanish slang for cannabis) instead of the familiar name "cannabis". Congress was able to accomplish this because no one knew what plant they were talking about. They made it such a banned and forbidden plant that the words "hemp" and "cannabis" were not even taught in schools from the 1940s, 50s and thereafter. The continuing suppression of this information places us all in mortal jeopardy. It is time to take Earth back from the hands of greed and put it in the arms of love so that we can build a peaceful paradise instead of a dead carcass with only memories of beauty.

In response to the CRS report:

The last paragraph of the summary gives various views which I would like to respond to.

1. Cannabis is harmful and has no medical value.

The only argument to how cannabis is harmful came from a legislator in CT. The only legislator in CT who replied to my email of the table of contents addressed I sent you previously. He wrote, “A smoked filled lung from any source suppresses the immune system and is a leading cause of cancer and lung disease. Love is safe guarding your loved ones from smoking from any source including marijuana- period. I do care about my family, my state and my legislative colleagues and will fight hard for their health and safety.

Toni Boucher

State Rep”

In fact he thought this was so clever he emailed it to me four times in 15 minutes. I replied with the following and have not heard back as of yet. “Cancer is caused by hydrocarbons. Hydrocarbons are caused by the burning of synthetics. Tobacco is mostly grown with use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides which in turn leads to cancer and not the smoke itself as organic matter breaks down where synthetic matter, ie pesticides do not. Auxins can also be smoked. If you are not familiar with auxins here is a brief lesson. Auxins are regenerative food for DNA. In the plant world they are produced by tryptophans and lead to the promotion of new branches and increased ability to withstand environmental stresses. Humans have a structurally similar compound although not referred to as an auxin by all medical professionals. However in the human body the liver regenerates throughout the life of an individual. It has the highest concentration of auxins. The lungs regenerate every seven years and do so because of the auxin consentration. A human baby has such a high auxin concentration because they grow so fast that up to age six they can regenerate a lost finger tip. Tyrptophans are found in the brain among the indoyl acids and 11 serotonins mostly made up of chemical element 35 bromine which is very similar to iodine in appearance. Frogs and lizards have elevated tryptophans in the body stemming from the brain to the spinal column and are released into the body via the megakaryocyte cells which make up the bone marrow. This elevated level gives them the ability to regenerate. I cured my asthma by smoking auxins so not all smoke is bad. Anything that is synthetic should not be inhaled weather natural or after combustion. The same goes for fossil fuels which have high half lives in terms of molecular structure. Plants such as cannabis or tobacco have short half lives and if are organic in nature do not produce hydrocarbons which do in fact lead to cancer. Hence smoking of organic products is not harmful in any way contrary to your belief. Hear is a link is you would like to read on the latest and most successful cancer treatment, auxins. Cytokinins work together in a 30 / 70 balance with auxins which I will get into more depth with if you are interested in learning.

2.Cannabis effectively treats the symptoms of certain diseases. Well this is true and has been proven over and over again. I had a discussion today with an associate about cannabis and chemotherapy. It was mentioned that a person on chemo uses cannabis to increase appetite as it is the best organic stimulant. The person not only uses cannabis as it is the best remedy for the job, but takes a organic stimulant as their bodies are greatly weakened by the toxic effects of the horde of chemicals that chemo entails. If a individual in this weakened state experiences no negative effects of this plant I believe it is safe to say a person in average to perfect health would not experience any negative effects either.

3.Smoking is a improper route of drug administration.

I believe this was already covered. Above and beyond what was already mentioned is the fact that the freedom of choice is a staple of America. If a person wishes to inhale smoke knowing it may be unhealthy that is their right as is eating right before bed which also is not the best or healthiest time to eat. Taking a organic substance and subjecting it to a 1.5 pH stomach acid and hoping it remains viable is not the most intelligent route to go while arguing a point either. I was in fact discussing this point with a person who is going for a surgery where they can not smoke. Since the lungs are the best way of getting thc into the blood stream and this individual could not smoke we came up with an alternative. Under a persons tongue are also blood vessels which can absorb vitamins. A thc candy or tablet may work well although not as good as in haling through the lungs. The best alternative would be to inhale and ingest via the lungs with out the smoke. Back in the 1970’s a device was created called a vaporizer. Since thc burns at around 400 degrees and combustion of plant material does not happen to well double that the cannabis is put in this device and heated to about 420 degrees. The air is put into a balloon type bag and then inhaled with out the smoke. Since no synthetic is as good as the 4 billion years it took mother earth to make her creations this would be the most effective means of up taking thc regarding health and effectiveness.

4. Cannabis should be rescheduled to permit medical use.

At the very minimum.

5. State medical cannabis laws send the wrong message and lead to increased illicit drug use.

What is a illicit drug? Is it the pharmaceutical that flood our streets? The pharmaceuticals that are made in pharmaceutical labs? A plant is not a drug it is part of the Earth so perhaps pharmaceuticals are sending the wrong message. If a state cares to grow a plant and educate about its benefits that is the states choice. That is what the constitution was written for. The federal government is not designed to think for the people. The federal government is designed to keep the people free to think. Every person in America has grown up around gasoline. Every person knows that gasoline is flammable, that it will get you light headed if you inhale the fumes, and that it can kill you if you drink it. By being part of everyday life a person learns, respects, and develops the necessary controls to handle a substance. If a remote village was to get a bottle of gasoline most likely the village would see what it is. Perhaps a person would try to drink the gasoline as it resembles water. Perhaps that person would die. Should we outlaw gasoline? If we do the village would not learn how to control the substance. If another substance was to come along they would not have the previous knowledge of experience to know the dangers. They would also never learn the benefits of gasoline. Knowledge is power and to say you are not able to learn regarding a piece of the Earth for your self is simply unfair.

6. The medical marijuana movement undermines the drug war.

The drug war undermines itself. How do you wage a war on your own family? How do you gain knowledge without the ability to learn? Why wage the drug war at all? Most likely crime is the reason. Without a fuse you can not ignite a bomb. The Earth is the Earth. It is 4 billion years old and has evolved with 4 billion years worth of knowledge. To outlaw any part of that knowledge is insane. Cannabis was on this earth far before humans. Humans evolved with cannabis. If cannabis was not meant to be on the earth it would not be on the earth.

7. Patients should not be arrested for using cannabis.

I have yet to see how making life better does any harm. A person is arrested if they are causing more pain in a society then they are helping. If a person has not caused any pain or is supplying a item which only elevates the wellbeing of life and lessening a persons pain then to arrest that person is knowingly breeding pain in the environment we live. Arresting a person for cannabis and destroying their life is unacceptable.

8. The federal government should allow the states to experiment and should not interfere with state medical cannabis programs.

Once again the federal government is not designed to think for the people. The federal government is designed to keep the people free to think. Or in other words the federal government is here to think of ways to keep the people free.

9. Medical cannabis laws harm the federal drug approval process.

The federal drug approval process is funded by pharmaceutical companies under the PDUFA or “User fee act” passed by congress in 1992. A approval must be granted for new molecules produced as most synthetics only stay on the market for a few years before they are taken off do to health risks. For example a medicine called vioxx was on the market for four years. During these four years it caused 100,000 deaths and was not even questioned by the FDA. The manufacturing company pulled vioxx from the market. This was initiated by the company and not the FDA who gets paid every year a medicine is on the market. In 2005 the FDA collected 1.8 billion dollars in fees to approve drugs. Since cannabis is a plant and not a new molecule I fail to see how cannabis would harm the federal drug approval process or anything else for that matter. Vioxx was used to reduce pain, inflammation, stiffness caused by osteoarthritis, arthritis, to treat migraines, and to treat menstrual pain. All of these are treatable with cannabis. Cannabis has not caused 1 death let alone 100,000. Cannabis is a plant so it can be grown by the end user. The FDA does not get paid under these circumstances.

10. The medical cannabis movement is a cynical ploy to legalize cannabis and other drugs.

The cannabis movement is a move to return the freedom back to the people in which they had when this country was formed. The cannabis movement is a movement to allow the people the freedom to grow the same plant the founding fathers of this great nation grew. The cannabis movement is a movement for the wellbeing of the Earth. The Earth is not a drug.

These issues are nor complex or complicated. Will the pharmaceutical companies make less money, yes. Is that a bad thing, no.

The government was established to deminish bullying. The people of the nations voice is stronger then a rich bully. Things went wrong when the peoples voice of the nation was not followed through by the ones appointed to do just that. Some now take office to ensure personal safety. Perhaps it could have been designed better by the handful of growers that wrote it. I think it is a bit much to ask of them when so many more now are able to fix things and fall short. Should we be pleased they gave it their best shot, short of endangering their own well being or should we should we hold them responsible for the pain that was caused for their failure. When a person takes office with the title congress do they realize the magnitude of their duty. Does a soilder hold their life before those they fight for? If a person in congress has a great life after and there is pain in the nation I feel comfortable saying they did not fight hard enough, nor are they a soilder, and should be held responsible for any failures in the system. The people of this nation do not have this mind set so I also feel comfortable saying these people our not true Americans.

This code was applied to the periodic table while I was illegally locked up in a hospital in an attempt to make me go broke again. You see I don’t like synthetics or the greedy billionaires that flood the streets with them. Seems I got a bit of a price on my head. This lock up was for being found incompetent to stand trail. You may be wondering where this stemmed from. Well here is a short version. A person Cora Ciara who sells pills thought it would be beneficial to her pill prices to make up a trail for me and try and take me out. She had been like a sister in New Haven and when I heard she was back to her old ways and not doing so well (prostituting herself and strung out) I called to try and get her back on track and let her know she still had a friend if she needed one. Well next thing I know I got a second degree harassment charge (60 day max. sentence) for a alleged voice mail recording of a women’s voice screaming. I filed an appearance and a pre-trial motion for discovery in accordance with the CT practice book, which dictates proper filing structure, for the evidence I was arrested on that landed me 8 days in prison until I was allowed to use the phone and bail myself out. After filing the prosecutor told me that I had to go see a psychologist before the case could proceed. Judge Rubinow of Meridan CT at the time sent me to see a medical student named, Kevin Trueblood at Yale, New Haven. As if I could not guess from the name of this person what the outcome would be I went to see him. We meet for about an hour and a half were I tried being helpful and polite as he stroked his ego. During the duration of our meeting where he took no notes he made a report. I got a copy my next court date of the report which I got thrown out as I was not privy to the evidence before hand to review. I had him state on the stand that I was of above average intelligence how ever I was illegally still locked away inpatient for 60 days. I had an 1800 a month mortgage and just thrown 8000 down on property in Mexico. Well once locked up I was not allowed visitors or the means to use a phone. Now a court can send a person out patient if there is cause however I had to do 60 days. During this time I meet with a court monitor for a total of 8 minutes where he tried telling me a class c misdemeanor can get me six months and told me the definitions of a judge and jury. He could have let me out any time though was getting paid good money to keep me there where they try and force feed you pills that they get for cheap. I had run into problems before with the system in VT with a couple made up trials. You see I grew with the person who supplied the state police with cannabis. The state police run the trade under Major Baker who enjoys threatening me on recorded line. Instead of Ed Costello paying me my half which we had agreed on of the 590 lb harvest the state figured it would be cheaper to lock me up. That and I would not suck his dick. Anyways he called up his father who called up his old friend Richard Carrol who left office of the senate in 1981. His son Richard is married to Karen Carrol who is a judge. Sean Carrol works at the Rockingham State Police barracks under Jocelyn Stole. One day while traveling on the high way I see a car flying up from the south at about 110 mph with their lights on. I saw them pull a u turn in my mirror as I was pulling off the highway to get gas. I was pulled over in the gas station for speeding I was told. With in minutes 6 state police officers ( only 6 on duty at a time in Rockingham) showed up. They used extortion to search my car and found nothing except two marigold seeds on the floor. I was charged with possession of an illegal substance and let go. I got the speeding ticket thrown out of court as I was not speeding. Under state and federal law if an officer pulls a person over with out cause, under the fourth amendment, anything found upon that search is deemed inadmissible. I was given a court date anyways for my flower seeds. I meet with Karen who asked me if I had a lawyer. I told her yes and she asked my lawyer to contact the court with in a week which happened. This was not good enough so she issued an arrest warrant after another judge the previous day turned down the prosecutors request saying his German Shepard could not smell seeds in a person’s car. At least that is what is on the tape of the case I got after months of them ignoring the Freedom of Information Act. The Carrol family owns the largest construction company in VT. Ben Oneglia owns the largest construction company in CT called O & G construction. I knew his family growing up. He is obsessed with 9-11’s and owns many at his house in Harwington CT. He races for Porsche at races such as the Rolex down in Florida by the labs that produce the synthetic heroin that the government and D.E.A. flood our streets with. Over 90% of the heroin on the streets is synthetic and designed to string you out for profit reason. I have the DEA headquarter on recording stating they have no knowledge that any of the heroin is synthetic and that they test it all the time. Organic heroin which was sold in pharmacies back in the early 1900’s for overall wellbeing is suppressed as the pills which sell for 1usd a cc on the street get produced for a 10,000th of that cost and labs are only 200,000 usd to set up. The United Nations whose headquarters was in Manhattan NY at the World Trade Center knew the damage of synthetics and was trying to get this poison off of the streets. The poison that Ben Oneglia and George Bush act as ring leaders of as they make a living off of others pain. There is a man that goes by the name Bo Duckie who most likely has just as much to do with destroying this nation and world. Every time the Towers were bombed a Bush was in office. With the billions Ben has they sent an assault in honor of Ben Oneglia on 9-11. The pentagon was bombed at the wing that was empty as it was just renovated as if to say, “it wasn’t me.” Ben Oneglia has built the Atlantis Casino in Saint Martin where the stolen cocaine from Africa gets moved through and also the largest casinos in the world right here in CT, Mohegan Sun and Fox Woods. Bin Laden moved organic heroin which would not harm a person as the US government’s synthetic poison which is why Bush went after his old childhood playmate. This system is very corrupt. At this point local politics are being bought out and I do not know how long it will be until I am illegally locked up again. Anyways this site will be up for the remainder of time the internet exists so please, education is key. Best of luck to all.

The government was established to diminish bullying. The people of the nations voice is stronger then a rich bully. Things went wrong when the people’s voice of the nation was not followed through by the ones appointed to do just that. Some now take office to ensure personal safety. Perhaps it could have been designed better by the handful of growers that wrote it. I think it is a bit much to ask of them when so many more now are able to fix things and fall short. Should we be pleased they gave it their best shot, short of endangering their own well being or should we should we hold them responsible for the pain that was caused for their failure. When a person takes office with the title congress do they realize the magnitude of their duty? Does a soldier hold their life before those they fight for? If a person in congress has a great life after and there is pain in the nation I feel comfortable saying they did not fight hard enough, nor are they a soldier, and should be held responsible for any failures in the system. The people of this nation do not have this mind set so I also feel comfortable saying these people our not true Americans. Chris Seekins
