#Marijuana #Hemp #Cannabis Longtime hemp activist Jack Herer is offering $100,00 to anyone who can disprove his hypothesis that hemp is a silver bullet for climate change. Heres Herer: If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation, then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the worlds paper and textiles; meet all of the worlds transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time. That substance is the same one that has done it before: Cannabis Hemp. huffingtonpost/graham-hill/hemp-and-lots-of-it-could_b_328275.html ======== Closed carbon cycle This is because CO2 burned during the combustion of fossil fuels was locked underground millions of years ago, what affects its balance in the atmosphere. Biomass, on the other hand, is carbon neutral, because when plants are grown, through the photosynthesis process they absorb carbon dioxide, which is then released during the combustion process. Therefore, burning biomass offsets CO2 emissions, because due to being part of closed carbon cycle (shown on figure 1), its net emissions are zero. esru.strath.ac.uk/.../Bio.../overview/carbon.html ========= Hemp Plastic is an affordable bio based natural fibre composite to replace oil based raw materials. Designed in Europe over 15 years and now produced in China, Hemp Plastics compete with engineering compounds in properties such as stiffness and high heat tolerance (HDT). Both biodegradable and recyclable blends address global policies for CO2 reduction and oil dependence. Hemp plastics are not made from hemp oil or hemp seeds, but from the stalk. They are the preferred options to PP-glass fibre, High Heat ABS and PC/ABS. Flame retardant for specific grades, using halogen-free additives. Not only do we supply granules, we provide smart solutions for our customers, and for their customers. We will lead you through every step of injection moulding. hempplastic/ ======== Difference between Industrial Hemp and Cannabis The term Hemp commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seed for textiles, foods, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. The term marijuana refers to the medicinal, recreational or spiritual use involving the smoking of cannabis flowers. Industrial hemp contains only about 0.3% - 1.5% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinoids, the intoxicating ingredients that make you high) while marijuana contains about 5% - 10% or more THC hempethics.weebly/industrial-hemp-vs-cannabis... ======== US Patent 6630507 Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease and HIV dementia. Nonpsychoactive cannabinoids, such as cannabidoil, are particularly advantageous to use because they avoid toxicity that is encountered with psychoactive cannabinoids at high doses useful in the method of the present invention. google/patents/US6630507 ======== Schedule I Controlled Substances Substances in this schedule have no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision, and a high potential for abuse. Some examples of substances listed in Schedule I are: heroin, lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana (cannabis), peyote, methaqualone, and 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (Ecstasy).

Note that the consistent theme between them is that cannabis shrinks tumors and selectively targets cancer cells.
