Kevin West: Hemp, a Self Sustaining Answer

Is this what Kevin West gets/got paid to do?? .... maybe he should have used his time more wisely !! More wisely to write or contact some regulatory/ government agency trying to get answers, to the many questions, that the shareholders have! How about the media ...aiming for exposure of the confirmed substantial FTD's NSS?? or better yet, maybe he could have written an OFFICIAL PR !!
Thank God, there are shareholders who are dilligently working on behalf of ALL shareholders, because Faulk, West & Frizzell seem to be off doing their own egotistical thing.

- Hemp, a Self Sustaining Answer to a Troubled Nation
by Kevin M. West


When you hear the word “hemp”, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? If you think like most Americans, hemp is nothing more than slang for marijuana. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

Although hemp looks the same as marijuana and even shares the same plant genus as marijuana (cannabis sativa L), hemp could actually be called the anti-marijuana plant.* It may surprise you to know that broccoli and cauliflower also share this same plant genus as well. What if I told you that hemp is the world’s single most versatile fiber, and that the hemp plant grows without the need for pesticides or herbicides, can grow in almost any climate and/or soil conditions, can replace almost any product that can be made from wood, cotton or petroleum (including plastics), some of the very first Bibles were written on hemp and the US Constitution was actually drafted on hemp paper?

Now that I have your attention, let me further educate you as to how the Industrial Hemp Plant can help heal our Country's deeply troubled economy, lessen America's dependence on foreign oil, naturally restore our forests and environment, create millions of jobs and once again align our farmers as the backbone of our great Country!

Until 1883, from 75-90% of all paper in the world was made with cannabis hemp fiber including paper stock used for books, Bibles, maps, paper money, stocks and bonds, newspapers, etc. Benjamin Franklin started one of America's first paper mills with cannabis in order to allow for a colonial press free from English control.

In 1916 Jason L. Merrill wrote in a USDA circular that "Our forests are being cut three times as fast as they grow." Lyster Dewey (his co-researcher) and Merrill knew that using hemp for paper could prevent deforestation and help save the environment. Despite the knowledge that hemp produced a more efficient superior grade of paper, wood pulp continued as the primary source of paper.**

In 1916, America was given a precious gift by the invention of a machine that made hemp commercially viable. In 1938 Popular Mechanics magazine put this plant on the front page of its’ publication and told the world of the wonders of this plant and its’ endless possibilities to keep our Country’s economy strong, our environment healthy and maybe the single most important factor as we are finding out in today’s age. This single plant could have made our Country almost completely self sufficient and self sustaining. Instead, the quest for greed and power took over and the hemp plant was eradicated from the future of the American farmer and replaced by big industry starting with oil.

The past is long gone, instead of going into history to find out what we could have had and the conspiracies as to what really happened, let’s just move forward and make the needed changes TODAY that can quickly have us moving forward to a much better tomorrow. President Obama has promised to make the needed changes to heal our Country and our environment... Allowing, educating and funding our farmers to produce unlimited supplies of hemp can very quickly begin to heal our nation!

Now that you curiosity is peaked, please begin to educate yourself about hemp. I will be back in the near future to help you understand even more of what can be done and give you the tools needed to take action to make a difference right from the comfort our your home. In the meantime, I would like to leave you with an article written in 1938 when our Country had a choice between two paths and we opted for the wrong one. It’s not too late to take the other path, but time is almost gone to make that choice.


Notes:

*Hemp and Marijuana are both varieties of the Cannabis Sativa L plant. However, industrial hemp cannot produce euphoria in humans. According to David P. West, PhD, "The THC levels in industrial hemp are so low that no one could ever get high from smoking it. Moreover, hemp contains a relatively high percentage of another cannabinoid, CBD, that actually blocks the marijuana high. Hemp, it turns out, is not only not marijuana; it could be called 'anti-marijuana.'"
