            henry toked weed bro.

            he grew fields of the stuff.

            but you know what? behind every great man is a great lady and that lady is clara ford.

            every day henry would come home from the factory clara would have a big, fat bowl waiting for him.

            clara was a hip hip lady.

              I'm all for legalization and know hemp has a ton of industrial applications (to say nothing of alternate fuel sources), but that poster is just oversimplified propaganda. IMO it actually works against the cause by being so exaggerated, the only people it's getting all hot & bothered are hemp activitists themselves.

                my cousins are licenced medical marijuana growers who also grow "industrial" hemp, the medical stuff makes money but they are limited to the number of plants they can grow. they usually make more money on the industrial hemp, selling it as material for novelty clothes and foods (like candy, drinks, etc).

                Not illegal, just extremely over regulated. Took about 5 years to get the licenses.

                  Also, in June the amendment to the Farm Bill to legalize industrial hemp in the US was voted in by the House. So there's a congressional majority in favor.

                  Unfortunately the Farm Bill itself didn't pass, so it was rendered moot. Still it's just a matter of time, probably a very short time too. I see legalization within the year, would be surprised if it took any longer than that.

                    Not hemp-related, but still an interesting biography about Ford...

                      he loved hemp, used it for lots of components in his cars, and the pics of him in the white suit are him wearing his hemp suit which he loved

                          After Kentucky decided not to use privately owned prisons. I guess there will be less of a push to keep it illegal. However I think more states will need to follow the lead first.

                            He was also a complete nutjob who believed the Jews were destroying the world, a big admirer and crony of Hitler's. He bought and ran a newspaper at great expense just to expose the Jew menace. All of his knowledge about the Jews came from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a masterpiece of conspiracy crackpottery which even while Ford was plagiarizing it in his newspaper had already been exposed as a complete forgery of a forgery of a forgery of what started out as a book of satire by a French writer.

                            You can't take away his genius for business and industry but he was also an ignorant uneducated imbecile. Ford sued the Chicago Tribune for libel, they had published an editorial calling him what he was, a kook, an anarchist and a danger. The Tribune's lawyer had no problem getting Ford to reveal the truth about himself in front of the entire country, a pathetic old fool, albeit a rich and powerful one.

                            Lawyer: You call yourself an educator. Now I shall inquire whether you were a well informed man, competent to educate people
                            Lawyer:Have there ever been any revolutions in this country?
                            Henry Ford:There was, I understand.
                            Lawyer:When?
                            Henry Ford:In 1812.
                            Lawyer: Did you ever hear of Benedict Arnold?
                            Henry Ford:I have heard the name.
                            Lawyer:Who was he?
                            Henry Ford:I have forgotten just who he is. He is a writer; I think.

                                it was a pop culture reference to the hit movie dazed & confused. i guess nobody got the pun. i substituted henry and clara for george and martha and used the dialogue from the film as best i could recall it on the fly. (it wouldn't have worked if i used george and martha)

                                you should check it out, it's very funny, if you like funny movies, that is.

                                  fyi, your weed resource link with real answers has 1 answer to 1 question

                                  Are hemp hearts healthy for kids to eat?
                                  Found a bag of Maritoba Hemp Hearts at Costco and just want to know if they are healthy for my kids to eat. They cant get high or anything can they?
                                  was that george and martha's stance on that or ? not sure why the link.

                                      Ahh.... right. Forgot that Ford was all about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion... before Hitler even knew about it.

                                          Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
                                          think about that
