Hemp Healthy - Rise Above the Ignorance

Hemp is an ancient plant that has been cultivated for millennia. In Great Britain, hemp cultivation dates back to 800AD. In the 16th Century, Henry VIII encouraged farmers to plant the crop extensively to provide materials for the British Naval fleet. In 17th Century America, farmers in Virginia, Massachusetts and Connecticut were ordered by law to grow this esteemed plant because of its tremendous value in several industries. By the early 18th century, a person could be sentenced to jail if they weren’t growing hemp on their land! Hemp was even considered to be legal tender at one time. For over 200 years in colonial America, hemp was currency that one could use to pay their taxes with. The 1850 U.S. census documented approximately 8,400 hemp plantations of at least 2000 acres. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Industrial hemp is an untapped goldmine with over 50,000 uses. Anything that petroleum can do, hemp can do better… and so much more… with zero negative impact to the earth. Did you know that until the early 1900’s more than 90% of the medicine offered by pharmacies came from cannabis? There are currently thousands of studies involving cannabis. (Check out www.EchoConnection.org) The U.S. government even has a patent (#6,630,507) to treat a wide range of diseases, even though they say it has no medicinal value. Hmm. Interesting. So what happened? Why was this miracle plant made illegal and why was it demonized so? Could it possibly be due to the greed of those in power who were threatened by all that this plant can provide? That’s exactly what happened. Thank Heavens things are changing!! We are at the end of a prohibition and I am thrilled to be part of removing the wool that has been placed over all of our eyes.
