April 29th Marks 100th Anniversary Of First Marijuana Prohibition
Source: theweedblog.com
By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town
Friday marks an unhappy anniversary in hemp history. On April 29, 1911, Massachusetts enacted the first state law making it illegal to sell or possess cannabis without a prescription, becoming the first U.S. state to institute marijuana prohibition.
Violators of the new law were subject to a $100 fine and up to six months in jail, and just being present in the same room with marijuana could get you three months, according to cannabis historian Dale Gieringer of California NORML.
Ironically, marijuana was merely collateral damage of the Massachusetts law, which was aimed primarily at other “hypnotic” drugs such as opium, morphine and heroin. Abuse of opiate painkillers had become a concern among reformers and temperance advocates in the early 20th century, and cannabis was added to the list “for the sake of completeness,” since it was also a hypnotic palliative commonly found in pharmacies.
“This incidental decision would turn out to have far-reaching consequences, aptly illustrating the dangers of governmental misjudgment in matters of drug regulation,” Gieringer said. Interestingly, the Massachusetts law specifically permitted medicinal use of cannabis with a prescription; the medical value of “Indian hemp” was widely acknowledged at the time.
“Only in 1937 was medical cannabis suppressed at the insistence of federal narcotics boss Harry Anslinger, whose last-century ‘Reefer Madness’ policy sadly remains with us today,” Gieringer said.
It didn’t take long for other states to hop onto the moralistic anti-drug bandwagon. California, Maine, Indiana and Wyoming all prohibited marijuana in 1913, despite the fact that, just as in Massachusetts, there was no public concern about cannabis at the time. Officials admitted that marijuana was not a problem, but warned that “it might become one” unless “steps were taken” to prevent it.
“Ironically, only after being prohibited did cannabis become widely popular,” Gieringer said. Marijuana use spread in the 1920s from Mexican and Caribbean immigrants to jazz musicians and hipsters; so, predictably, did the laws against it, since its use was popularly associated with minorities, fringe elements, and strange-seeming subcultures.
More than 30 states had outlawed marijuana by 1937, when Congress passed the first federal prohibition law, and penalties got stiffer and stiffer through the 1950s and into the 1960s. “None of this did anything to prevent an explosion in marijuana use in the late 1960s and 1970s,” Gieringer said. “The result was to leave marijuana firmly established as America’s second most popular intoxicant after alcohol, a status it seems destined to enjoy for the foreseeable future.” (Actually, in my opinion, it’s fixin’ to leave alcohol in the dust.
“In practice, prohibition has served as a crime-creation program, criminalizing otherwise innocent Americans, promoting a criminal market, and generating disrespect for the law,” Gieringer said. “Americans would be well advised to reject their bankrupt paternalism and reclaim their historical freedom to use cannabis.”

Potential impact of Industrial Hemp -- a plant that's useful, but you can't grow
by Andrew Keller
Source: upnorthlive.com
HILLMAN, MI -- The Presque Isle Board of Commissioners passed a resolution today to support the legalization of a crop that is banned in the United States. We’re talking about industrial hemp.
One local man says this cash crop could fuel the Northern Michigan economy.
More than 25,000 products are made from hemp, including some shoes and the rope you'd use to tie your boat to the dock. A Northern Michigan man says it's time to lift restrictions." "If you smoked it, you'd get a headache," said Everett Swift, the executive director of MI-Hemp, the Michigan Industrial Hemp Education and Marketing Project. Swift says if you light up a hemp cigarette, you're not getting high. “Kind of like having a bad cousin, and you get the blame for what the cousin is doing," he explained.
The DEA calls hemp a controlled substance. But would you believe the fibers from marijuana's distant cousin make products like nap-sacks, baseball hats, and even suntan lotion? It’s legal to buy it, but there's a problem, you can't grow it in the US. “Common sense to me says we need to use this product since we are importing $360-million of it a year," said Swift.
Swift says this could be money put into farmer's pockets. “We need to be growing it here and pump money into our economy, instead of shipping it out." According to a 2006 report released by the Fuel and Fiber Company, a national group promoting the growing of hemp from Arizona, legalizing the plant could create 1,700 to 4,200 new jobs. Farmers would also benefit. They could profit $50 to $500 dollars an acre. "The more I learn, the more i see this is a ridiculous law we have here in the United States on this," said Swift.
States, like North Dakota, Hawaii, and Kentucky, have passed laws saying farmers can grow hemp, and like the Presque Isle County Commission, they're hoping to put pressure on the federal government to change the law.
“I would like to see the DEA step back and allow state rights on this issue," said Swift. Everett says hemp offers nutritional value, like in this granola bar, you can find Omega 3 and other essential fatty acids. Tastes like a protein bar, but overall, it's pretty good.
Everett Swift questions why you can't grow hemp in America. Swift is the executive director of MI-Hemp, an organization that educates and informs people of the benefits of industrial hemp. He says last year, the US imported $360-million in hemp that is used for more than 25,000 products, some numbers show maybe closer to 50,000 products. Manufacturers can use it, you can wear it, you can even eat it, but like its close cousin marijuana, you can't grow it.
Swift says even though hemp a close cousin and resembles marijuana, you can't get high off of it like you can marijuana, and the plant is used primarily for its fibers, which can be turned into several different types of items.
His argument is the time has come to lift the ban from growing hemp in the United States, which could potentially pump millions into the Northern Michigan economy.

Hemp Car
Below is a series of articles from the Hemp Car website.
Source: hempcar.org
Hemp Car Manifesto:
Hemp car was an alternative-fuel project car that utilized hemp biodiesel for fuel. Industrial hemp would be an economical fuel if hemp were legal to cultivate in the United States. Industrial hemp has no psychoactive properties and is not a drug. Hemp Car demonstrates the concept of hemp fuels on a national level and promotes the reformation of current law.
The car toured America, with stops in Canada, frequenting alternative-energy, environmental, and hemp-legalization events. The car departed from Washington D.C. on July 4, 2001 and returned home on October 2, 2001. The car generated publicity, emphasizing the utility of industrial hemp to modern society. We provided the public with information about biofuels, hemp, their uses, and current American laws. We established a world distance record for a vehicle utilizing hemp for fuel: 10,000 miles.
A network of hemp activists provided us with the hemp oil at planned intervals throughout the country. Funding, sponsorships, and networking were necessary for Hemp Car to succeed. We give great thanks to all of the activists and concerned citizens who made Hempcar possible.
| Energy Farming In America By Lynn Osburn A practical answer to America's farming, energy and environmental crises. On June 12,1989, President Bush addressed his campaign promises to deal with the pollution problems long facing the United States. He unveiled an ambitious plan to remove smog from California and the nation's most populous cities, as well as efforts to reduce acid rain pollution. Bush recommended auto makers be required to make methanol-powered cars for use in nine urban areas plagued by air pollution. Methanol is the simplest form of primary alcohol and is commonly called wood alcohol. Bush called methanol "home-grown energy for America." He further proposed a 10 million ton reduction in sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-burning power plants; that's a 50% reduction over present standards. Sulfur dioxide is a major cause of acid rain, which kills 50,000 Americans and 5,000-10,000 Canadians yearly. (Brookhaven National Laboratory 1986) William Reilly, chief of the Environmental Protection Agency, at a briefing before Bush's speech, estimated the cost of the plan would be between $14 billion and $19 billion a year after its full implementation at the turn of the century. Bush said, "Too many Americans continue to breathe dirty air, and political paralysis has plagued further progress against air pollution. We've seen enough of this stalemate. It's time to clear the air." Political paralysis seems to be a dominant trait in Washington in any given decade, but what did he mean by "stalemate'? The root of this "stalemate" can be found in the concept of world energy resources. The industrial world currently runs on fossil fuel: natural gas, oil, and coal. Fossil fuel resources are non-renewable, being the end product of eons of natural decomposition of Earth's ancient biomass. Fossil fuels contain sulfur, which is the source of many of the aggravating environmental pollution problems threatening America. Removing sulfur compounds from fossil fuels is a major expense to the energy producers. Also, burning fossil fuels releases "ancient" carbon dioxide, produced by primeval plant life eons ago, into the atmosphere causing the air we breathe to be over-burdened with CO2 increasing the danger of global warming and the greenhouse effect. In the late 1800s, the fledgling petroleum industry aggressively competed with the established biomass-based energy industry in a effort to gain control of world energy production and distribution. Fossil fuel producers succeeded in their campaign to dominate energy production by making fuels and chemical feedstocks at lower prices than could be produced from biomass conversion. Now the pendulum is swinging against them. It is likely that peak oil and gas production in the coterminous United States has been reached. The bulk total production of roughly 80% will be reached by the year 2000. Peak world production will occur about the same year.
Hemp can be Procured Domestically Hemp is a Renewable Resource Hemp is Biodegradable Hemp can Provide Economic Gain to American Farmers and Industry Vs. Petrol is Dangerous to Handle and Store Petrol Contributes to Global Warming Petrol Produces Toxic By-Products of Emission Petrol Contributes to Sulfur Pollution (acid rain) Procurement of Petrol Pollutes the Local Environment Petrol is Highly Toxic to Humans and Other Animals

Contrary to your assertion, we do in fact get to pick and choose the laws we live under. That’s exactly what the voters in 15 States and Washington DC have done by bucking the Feds on medical marijuana.
The stifling of rational discussions buy the anti-marijuana crowd has prevented the truth about marijuana from reaching the voters for far too long! Once they know the honest facts about marijuana and marijuana prohibition 80% of Law Enforcement that attend a Law Enforcement Against Prohibition presentation support legalizing. That’s not an opinion, it’s a well documented FACT, proven over several years of post presentation surveys nationwide and in many other countries. Since that large a percentage of law enforcement favor legalizing once they have the honest facts, there is no doubt even a larger percentage of the public will favor legalizing once they know the truth!
All the facts support legalizing, the only thing holding legalization back is the public not knowing the truth, but that is changing and so are the laws as the truth becomes known.
Why do you support decriminalization of marijuana and reject legalization? Decriminalization is a misleading term! It still leaves the entire marijuana TRADE in the hands of criminals, gangsters, terrorist and illegal aliens. Legalization on the other hand, will virtually end the black market marijuana trade, just like it ended the large scale illegal alcohol black market alcohol trade when alcohol prohibition ended and alcohol was re-legalized . When alcohol prohibition ended violent crime fell by 65% and alcohol consumption is KNOWN to CAUSE violence! Marijuana consumption DOES NOT cause violence, it never has and it never will!
Everything you posted about marijuana causing serious mental problems and EVERY OTHER claim you made or suggested about marijuana causing harm is pure HOGWASH! Marijuana does NOT cause “psychological dependence”, what causes that is mental problems that are present in some people. Most commonly it’s attributed to what’s called “an addictive personality”. About 10% of the population has “an addictive personality”. Isn’t it amazing that about 10% of marijuana consumers are cited as having “psychological dependence” to marijuana in virtually every study on the subject ever done! Marijuana does NOT alter personality, or change the chemistry of the brain cortex! The effects of marijuana are temporary and ONLY occur while under the influence. The endorphin centers of the brain DO NOT crave more stimulation to achieve a high, if they did that would lead to physical addiction which marijuana DOES NOT cause!
Marijuana consumption DOES NOT CAUSE attendant behaviors to become more prominent in the participant's thinking and conduct. Your claim that it does is pure hogwash! Regarding your claim that: “It outweighs all other considerations to the point where lying, cheating, or even stealing to get high don't seem quite so bad anymore. Things aren't quite so black and white, morally, and loyalty to team, accountability, and self- control seem like square, old- fashioned sucker deals.” EVERY BIT OF WHAT YOU SAID THERE IS PURE HOGWASH! Marijuana consumption produces a very mild euphoric effect, no physical addiction whatsoever, NO loss of judgment or lack of morality or loyalty to virtues held prior to its use. Alcohol use can cause all those things but Marijuana use CANNOT! The ingredients in marijuana simply don’t effect people like you claim they do!
The so called “gateway theory” has been so completely debunked and for such a long time that I’m amazed anyone with even two brain cells to rub together ever mentions it any more. There is NOTHING about using marijuana that causes anyone to use other drugs. 100% of all the people that use cocaine, meth, smack and every other drug, also drank milk as babies! What does one substance have to do with the other? Absolutely NOTHING! What causes people to use other drugs is their own personal choice. The vast, VAST majority of those that consume marijuana never use any other illegal drug at all and that’s a well documented statistic… so much for the “gateway theory”!
If you can scientifically or medically prove ANY serious harm from consuming marijuana please post it! Just don’t post a bunch of anti-marijuana nonsense funded by anti-marijuana groups which contain words like “might, may, maybe, perhaps, suggests”, or data on marijuana use in conjunction with other drugs, or the ever popular phrase “we need to do more studies”. Marijuana is one of the most intensely studied plants on earth and it has been used SAFELY for THOUSANDS of years! The US Government estimates $113 BILLION worth of marijuana is consumed in the USA every year and that has been going on for decades. Where are all the dead, dying, mentally ill, zombies, with serious health problems that got that way from consuming marijuana? THEY DON’T EXIST!
You said: “Look at the effects buying this garbage and consuming it has had on society. Look at the Mexican border and see what your drug money has bought by way of corruption of government officials, murders, and gang infestation. Tell me drug use is harmless.” In the first place. Marijuana is FAR from garbage, it is probably the most beneficial plant know! You are blaming problems CAUSED by marijuana PROHIBITION on marijuana! When was the last time you heard of alcohol dealers getting into a shootout? I BET IT WAS WHEN ALCOHOL WAS PROHIBITED! Legal alcohol dealers certainly aren’t involved in murder and violence now are they?
You said: “It's not a Mexican problem- it's an American problem. Until we quit buying this poison and financing gangs and corruption, we have blood on our hands. Think about that next time you're shotgunning a torpedo.” Again you misstate the facts! Marijuana IS NOT poison! It is nontoxic and one of the safest substances known! You and everyone else need to accept the truth and put the blame squarely where it belongs, on marijuana PROHIBITION! NONE of those problems you mentioned were CAUSED by marijuana consumption, they were caused by the violent gangsters marijuana PROHIBITION puts in business and funds with hundreds of billions of tax free dollars every year.
It’s an undeniable FACT that the vast majority of so called “drug-related” violent crime is caused by the PROHIBITION of drugs, rather than the drugs themselves. It was the same during alcohol prohibition. Alcohol prohibition created violent criminal organizations just like every other drug prohibition has. These violent crimes should be labeled PROHIBITION RELATED, not drug related. Ending alcohol prohibition is exactly why you don’t see shootouts over that once ILLEGAL drug TRADE any more. THE YEAR ALCOHOL PROHIBITION ENDED VIOLENT CRIME FELL BY 65%!
Marijuana accounts for roughly half of the entire illegal drug trade. Legalizing this one nontoxic plant that it is impossible to overdose on will take away HALF of all the illegal money that is funding ALL the illegal drug dealers! Marijuana PROHIBITION is causing VIOLENT CRIME over the illegal MONEY. Consuming marijuana is causing virtually NO harm at all! Even if there are some unknown medical harms from consuming marijuana, PROHIBITION has failed to prevent or even reduce marijuana use!
The proper course of action is legalization and policy that minimizes the harms under a legal market! That takes the violence created by the gangsters marijuana prohibition puts in business completely out of the picture because it eliminates their ability to make a profit.
An illegal market simply cannot compete with a legal market! In a legal market there’s not enough profit in the illegal trade, so the illegal trade virtually disappears completely and so does all the violence from the illegal TRADE. Alcohol prohibition proved this beyond any shadow of doubt!
If you think marijuana prohibition has anything to do with the imaginary, false, fabricated, alleged harms from using marijuana as a recreational drug, or if you think marijuana causes violent or dangerous behavior, or if you think science has proven ANY serious health problems from consuming marijuana, YOU HAVE BEEN DUPED!
PLEASE copy these links or bookmark this page and consider the information linked below when you have time. It’s all good information and most of it has very credible sources included. You’ll probably NEVER see any of this mentioned in the mainstream media and this is just the tip of the iceberg of well documented FACTS supporting legalization!
