2006 Stoner Voters Guide
August 31st, 2006 by AlexMarc has done just about everything he can to facilitate action. He’s written about the House of Representatives, how & when to vote, using MySpace to further the cause, useful tips on how to initiate conversation, information on RockTheVote.com and then he starts going state-by-state on who he supports and who you should contact. Wow. Guess Marc blows the old lazy stoner myth right out of the water.
Since tFS is based in California, we are going to transcribe Marc’s section on who he supports for Governor:
Legal Hemp Around the Corner
August 17th, 2006 by Alex
Hemp bares little resemblance to marijuana. You’d die from smoke inhalation before getting high off this stuff. What you can do is turn it into a wide variety of cool products - clothing, cosmetics, paper, rope, jewelry (think hemp bracelets) and more. The bill is aiming to avoid federal restrictions by requiring that farmers sell the hemp only to California processors. This will prevent interstate commerce and the big nose of the feds getting involved.
The only dissent comes from the Office of National Drug Control Policy, saying that marijuana plants could be easily hidden inside industrial hemp crops. These naysaying douchebags were most likely interviewed in this fine TV show.
Within a few years, there will hopefully be many varied products of high quality, home-grown, industrial hemp.
