Our challenge to the world: Try to prove us wrong - if all fossil fuels
and their derivatives (coal, oil, natural gas, synthetic fibers and
petrochemicals) as well as the deforestation of trees for paper and
agriculture (e.g., Brazilian & Indonesian rainforests), are banned from use
in order to save the planet, preserve the ozone layer and reverse the
greenhouse effect with its global warming trend:
Then there is only one known renewable natural resource able to provide
ALL of the following goods and essentials such as paper and textiles; meet
all of the world's transportation, home and industrial energy needs, and clean
the atmosphere - all at the same time - our old standby that did it all
before: Cannabis Hemp...Marijuana!

[Excerpted from the updated and revised edition of "The Emperor Wears No
Clothes," written by Jack Herer. This landmark book, originally published in
1985, contains shocking and sensational material about the uses of the hemp
plant, and the real reasons why hemp was made illegal over fifty years ago.

The industrial revolution moved hemp to a place of lesser importance in
world commerce due to the lack of mechanized harvesting and breaking
technology needed for mass production. But this natural resource was far too
valuable to be relegated to the back burner of history forever.
In 1916, a U.S. Department of Agriculture bulletin predicted that once a
decorticating and harvesting machine was developed, cannabis would again
become America's largest agricultural industry. Some 22 years later,
"Popular Mechanics" introduced a new generation of investors to just such a
device, (See the February 1989 issue of High Times) which brings us to this
next bit of history:
A Plan to Save our Forests
<*--------------------------*>
Some cannabis plant strains regularly reach tree-like heights of 20 feet
or more in one growing season.
In 1916, the U.S. Department of Agriculture wrote in special bulletin
No. 404 that one acre of cannabis hemp, in annual rotation over a 20-year
period, would produce as much pulp for paper as 4.1 acres of trees over the
same 20-year period being cut down; and this process would use only 1/5 to
1/7 as much sulfur-based acid chemicals to break down the glue-like lignin
that binds the fibers to the pulp.
All this lignin must be broken down to make pulp paper. Hemp is only 4%
lignin, while trees are 18-30% lignin. Thus hemp provides four times as
much pulp with five to seven times less pollution (and yet, today is totally
illegal as it has been for the last half-century.)
This hemp pulp-paper potential depended on the invention and engineering
of new machines for stripping the hemp by modern technology. This would also
lower the cost of and demand for lumber for housing and at the same time help
re-oxygenate the planet.
As an example: If the new (1916) hemp pulp paper process were legal
today, it would soon replace about 70% of all wood pulp paper, including
computer printout paper, corrugated boxes and paper bags.
Pulp paper made from rags or machined from 60% to 100% hemp hurds is
stronger and more flexible than paper made from wood pulp and makes less
expensive, more ecological paper, and a better one.
Conservation and Source Reduction
<*---------------------------------*>
Source reduction is a cost-cutting waste control method often called for
by environmentalists: reduction of the source of pollution, usually from
manufacturing with petrochemicals or their derivatives.
In the supermarket when you are asked to choose paper or plastic for
your bags, you are faced with an environmental dilemma; paper from trees that
were cut, or plastic bags made from fossil fuel and chemicals. With a third
choice - hemp hurd paper - available, one could choose a biodegradable,
durable paper from an annually renewable source, the hemp plant.
The goal is to reduce the source of pollution. Whether the source of
the pollution is CFC's (chloro-flouro-carbons) from spray cans, computers
and refrigeration, or tritium and plutonium produced for military uses, or
the sulfuric acids used by paper makers, reducing the source of pollution is
the goal.
The environmental advantages of harvesting hemp annually - leaving the
tress in the ground! - make paper making from hemp hurds critical for source
reduction, along with the use of hemp to replace fossil fuel as an energy
source.
Energy and the Economy
<*----------------------*>
The book "Solar Gas" (1980), "Science Digest," "Omni Magazine," The
Alliance for Survival, the "Green Party" of West Germany and other put the
total figure of our energy costs at 80% of the total dollar expenses of
living for each human being.
In validation: 82% of the total value of all issues traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, other world stock exchanges, etc., are tied directly to:
- Energy supply companies (Exxon, Shell, etc.) wells/coal mines (Con Edison
and so forth);
- Energy transportation (pipeline companies, oil shipping and delivery
companies) or;
- Refineries and retail sales (Exxon, Mobil, Shell, So. California Edison, NY
Edison, et al.)
Americans - 5% of world population - in their drive for more 'new worth'
and 'productivity' use 25% to 40% of the worlds' energy. The hidden cost to
the environment cannot be measured. Eighty-two percent of all your dollars
translates roughly into 33 of every 40 hours you work going to pay for the
ultimate energy cost in the goods and services, on way or another
(transportation, heating, cooking, lighting) you purchase.
Our current fossil energy sources also supply about 80% of all solid and
airborne pollution which is slowly poisoning the planet. (See U.S. EPA
report 1983-1989 on coming world catastrophe from carbon dioxide imbalance
caused by burning fossil fuels.) The cheapest substitute for these expensive
and wasteful energy methods is not wind or solar panels, nuclear, geothermal,
and the like, but using the evenly distributed light of the sun to grow
biomass. The world's most efficient solar power source has already been
created.
It is a plant. And on a global scale, the most energy efficient plant
is hemp, and annually renewable resource able to replace all fossil fuels.
The early Oil Barons (Rockefeller, Standard; Rothschild's, Shell; et al)
paranoically aware in the Twenties of the possibilities of Ford's methanol
scheme (Henry Ford even grew marijuana on his estate after 1937 to prove the
cheapness of methanol,) dropped and kept oil prices incredibly low, between
$1 to $4 per barrel (there are 42 gallons in an oil barrel) for almost 50
years until 1970. So low, in fact, that no other energy source could compete
with them...and once they were sure of the lack of competition, the price
jumped to almost $40 per barrel in the next ten years.
Suddenly, for whatever reason, we are now in an era when oil is not only
prohibitively expensive, but embargoes or wars by foreign nations, i.e.,
OPEC, Libya, Iran, etc., can virtually hold the U.S. hostage; that's how
dependent we are on foreign sources of polluting petroleum products. Biomass
conversion to fuels should begin immediately to both stop planetary
pollution and make us energy independent.
By the year 2000, the U.S. will have burned 80% of its petroleum
resources, while our coal reserves may last 100 years or so longer. But the
decision to continue burning coal has serious drawbacks.
This high-sulfur coal is responsible for our acid rain, which already
kills 50,000 Americans and 5,000 to 10,000 Canadians annually.
Clean, Renewable Fuel Source
<*----------------------------*>
Fuel is not synonymous with petroleum, let's get over that. And new
hemp/biomass energy systems create millions of new jobs!
Hemp biomass can replace every type of fossil fuel energy product. When
hemp is grown for biomass as a renewable energy crop, CO2 (carbon dioxide) is
breathed in by the living plants to build cell structure; the left over
oxygen is breathed out replenishing earth's air supply. Then when the carbon
rich hemp biomass is burned for energy the CO2 is released back into the air.
The CO2 cycle is balanced when the crop is grown the next year. This is the
true meaning of recyling.
Biomass conversion, utilizing the same 'cracking' technology employed
by the petroleum industry will make charcoal to replace coal.
Charcoal contains no sulfur, so when it is burned for industry no sulfer
is emitted from the process. Sulfur is the primary cause of acid rain. The
rainfall in New England often falls between household vinegar and lemon juice
in its acidity on the -ph scale. This is bad for every cell membrane it
contacts, doing the most harm to the simplest life forms.
The biomass cracking process also produces non-sulfur fuel oil to
replace fossil fuels. Again, no sulfur is released and the new CO2 doesn't
rise when harvested biomass is used for fuel.
Biomass for Energy Abundance
<*----------------------------*>
The gasses that remain after the charcoal and fuel oils are extracted
from hemp can be used for driving electric power co-generators, too!
This biomass "cracking" process can produce methanol or charcoal fuel,
as well as the basic chemicals of industry: acetone, ethyl acetate, tar,
pitch and creosote. The Ford Motor Co. successfully operated a biomass
'cracking' plant in the 1930's at Iron Mountain, Michigan, using trees. Hemp
was too costly at that time, due to the labor costs of hand harvesting.
Finally, hemp seed contains 30% (by volume) oil. This oil makes high
grade diesel fuel oil and aircraft engine and precision machine oil.
Remember, throughout history, hemp seed was made into fuel oil: The Genii's
lamp burned hemp seed oil, as did Abraham the prophet's and Abraham Lincoln's.
Only whale oil came near hemp seed oil in popularity for fuel.
When Rudolph Diesel invented his diesel engine, he intended to fuel it
"by a variety of fuels, especially vegetable and seed oils."
Of course all these benefits can come from hemp, a plant uniquely suited
to grow and thrive practically anywhere on Earth and to be used to reclaim
marginal land and help ease the desertification of the planet.
Hemp is 77% cellulose, a basic chemical feed stock (industrial raw
material) used in the production of chemicals, plastics and fibers. Depending
on which U.S. agricultural report is correct, an acre of full grown hemp
plants can sustainably provide from four to 50 to even 100 times the
cellulose found in a cornstalks, kenaf, or sugar cane - the planet's next
highest annual cellulose plants. In most places, hemp can be harvested twice
a year and, in warmer areas such as Southern California, Texas, FLorida and
the like, it could be a "year round" crop. Hemp has a short growing season
and can be planted after food crops have been harvested.
An independent, semi-rural network of efficient and autonomous farmers
will become the key economic player in the production of energy in this
country.
The United States government pays (in case or in "kind") for farmers to
refrain from growing on 89 million acres of farmland each year, called the
soil bank.
Ten million of these acres in hemp would be the equivalent of 500
million to one billion acres of corn.
Hemp fuel derivative, along with the recyling of paper, etc., would be
enough to run America virtually without oil, except as petroleum fertilizer.
And 10 million to 89 million acres of hemp or other woody annual biomass
planted on this restricted, unplanted fallow farmland (our soil bank) would
make energy a whole new ball game and be a real attempt at doing something to
save the Earth.
Family Farms or Fossil Fuel?
<*----------------------------*>
In about 10 years, when our petroleum resources have dwindled to 20% of
their original size, America will have four choices:
- Burn all our poisonous coal;
- Go to war over foreign oil;
- Cut down our forests for fuel; or
- Grow and process a variety of environmentally safe fuels from biomass.
Farming only 6% of continental U.S. acreage with biomass would provide
all of America's energy needs and end dependence on fossil fuels. 'Illegal'
hemp is Earth's #1 biomass resource: capable of producing 10 tons per acre
in four months.
Hemp is easy on the soil, and ideal crop for the semi-acrid west and
open range land. (Adam Beatty, vice president of the Kentucky Agricultural
Society, reported instances of good crops of hemp on the same ground for 15
years in a row without a decline in yield. "Southern Agriculture," A.
Beatty, C.M. Saxon & Co., NY; 1843. P. 113.)
It is the only biomass source available that is capable of once again
making the U.S. energy independent.
Legal hemp would return billions of dollars worth of natural resource
potential back to the farmers and bring millions of good jobs in energy
production to America's heartland.
Hemp energy farmers will become our producers of raw materials for many
of the nations's needs. Family farms will be saved.
Crops can be tailored to the needs of the nation. Biomass can be grown
for fuel at about $30 per ton or seed crops can be pressed for oil; the left
over seed cake makes a high protein raw food resource.
Hemp grown for fiber will bring the paper and textile industry back to
the local communities and out of the hands of multinational corporations.
The Catch
<*---------*>
The "catch" is obvious: The energy companies! They own most of the
petro-chemicals, pharmaceutical, liquor, and tobacco companies, and are
intertwined with the insurance companies and banks that own them in such a
way as to make untangling their various interlocking directorates
(plutocracies) a Herculean task for even the most dedicated researcher.
Many politicians now in power, according to the press, are bought and
paid for by the energy companies, and their U.S. government arm is the CIA,
a.k.a. "The Company" (Robert Ludlum, et al). The Bush/Quayle administration
is uniquely tied to oil, newspapers and pharmaceuticals - as well as the CIA.
The world struggle for money is actually a struggle for energy, as it is
through energy that we may produce food, shelter, transportation, and
entertainment.
It is this struggle which often erupts into war.
It may not be that if we remove the cause, the conflicts will also be
removed, but the possibility is strong enough that we must try.
Ultimately, he world has no other rational environmental choice but to
give up fossil fuel.
Energy Security
<*---------------*>
At this point, we can tell OPEC goodbye forever.
The national balance of payments deficit is cast by the wayside and your
personal energy bills can be cut by at least 50% and perhaps as much as 90%
with biomass from hemp and recycled waste.
No more elderly or poor people freezing to death or living in misery in
the winter.
If introduced to Third World nations, hemp biomass could drastically cut
our overseas aid and reasons for war, while raising the quality of life
there by quantum leaps. The world's economy will/should boom as it never has
before.
Free Enterprise - High Profit
<*-----------------------------*>
There are many other areas of the economy that would benefit from the
re-legalization of hemp and de-regulation of commerce in non-smoking hemp,
according to the non-profit Business Alliance for Commerce in Hemp (BACH).
Research by this Los Angeles-based business association indicated there
are are around 40,000 non-smoking commercial uses for hemp that are
economically viable and market competitive. These include:
A Change in High Fashion
<*------------------------*>
The arrival of newly imported hemp-cotton blended clothing from China in
1989 signals the beginning of a new era for the rapidly changing world of
fashion. (Joint Venture Hempery and the Hemp Colony imports of shirts and
shorts with the Stoned Wear (Registered) label can be found at a number of
retail outlets or ordered through the mail.)
Public distaste for the cruelty of using furs and leather, along with
the search for comfortable, natural fabrics to replace synthetics and
fashion-conscious society's ever-changing trends and tastes all offer a great
opportunity to re-invigorate the domestic textile manufacture and retail
trades.
Drawing on hemp fibers' special attributes - absorbancy, insulation and
strength, clothing manufacturers and designers will once again put hemp into
linen to produce new lines of durable and attractive clothing and textiles.
Outer wear, warm bedsheets, soft towels (hemp is more water absorbent
than cotton), diapers (even disposable ones that you don't have to cut down
trees to make), upholstery, wall coverings, natural rugs - all these can now
be designed and made from hemp: generally better, cheaper and more
ecologically.
Trade barriers and laws restricting the use of imported cannabis fibers
need to be removed.
Hemp textiles will not be fully cost competitive until hemp fiber can be
grown and processed domestically, to avoid import fees and lower the costs
of transportation.
How and Why Would You Eat Cannabis Hemp?
<*----------------------------------------*>
The marijuana hemp seed (which is technically a fruit) is the second
most "complete" - with the eight essential amino acids - vegetable protein
source on our planet. Soybeans alone have a bit more protein.
However, hemp seed is many times cheaper and its protein potential can be
utilized better than soybean by the human body. In fact, the marijuana seed
is the highest in enzymes and overall amino acids of any food on our planet,
including the soybean.
Hemp seed extracts, like soybeans, can be spiced to taste like chicken,
steak, or pork and can be used to make tofu-type curd and margarine, at less
cost than soybeans. (U.S. Agricultural Index; The Marijuana Farmers, 1972,
Frazier.)
Hemp seed can be pressed for its vegetable oil, leaving a high protein
seed cake as a byproduct. Sprouting any seed improves its nutritional value
and hemp can be sprouted and used like any other seed sprout for salads or
cooking.
"Hemp is a favorite [bird seed] because of its nourishing oily content."
(Birds in the Garden, Margaret McKenny, 1939.)
When cannabis hemp is grown for seed, fully half the weight of the
mature female plant is seed!
One almost-instant potential benefit is that all domesticated animals
(dogs, cats), farm animals and poultry could be fed a nearly complete diet
with just hemp seed extract protein and fat.
These two factors alone (everything else being equal) will allow animals
maximum weight gain for less than current costs without any artificial growth
steroids or other drugs currently poisoning the human race and food chain.
In fact, hemp seed cake, the byproducts of oil pressing, was one of the
world's principal animal feeds until this century.
Hemp seed can be ground into meal, cooked, sweetened and combined with
milk and made into a nutritional breakfast cereal - like oatmeal or cream of
wheat. This type of porridge is known as a gruel.
Hemp leaves can also be brewed into a healthy tea and either
medicinally or drunk as a beverage.
Spectre of Worldwide Famine
<*---------------------------*>
The marijuana seed's combination of amino acids, enzymes and edistins
make more food protein and nutrients usable, and better than anything else.
It allows a body with nutrition-blocking tuberculosis or almost any other
ailment to get maximum nourishment.
By itself, widespread use of hemp seed food protein would save many of
the world's children currently dying from protein starvation! An estimated
60% of all children born in Third World countries (about 12-20 million a
year) will die this way before reaching five years of age. Many times that
number have their lives dramatically shortened and/or brains decimated.
Remember hemp is a hearty plant that grows almost anywhere, even in
adverse conditions.
Furthermore, recent studies indicate that depletion of the ozone layer
threatens to reduce world soya production by a substantial amount - up to 30%
or even 40% depending on the fluctuation of the density of the ozone shield.
But hemp, on the other hand, resists the damage caused by increasing
ultraviolet radiation and actually flourishes in it by producing more
cannabinoids which provide protection from ultraviolet light.
Australia, as many countries have throughout history, survived two
prolonged famines in the 19th century using nothing but marijuana seeds for
protein and marijuana leaves for roughage.
It's no wonder that some Central and South Americans hate America and
want us out; they see us as ignorant killers. For years, our government
demanded the paraquat poisoning of their lands: Lands these farmers had
grown cannabis on by law since 1564, when Prince Phillip of Spain had ordered
it grown throughout his empire to provide food, sails, rope, towels, sheets
and shirts - as well as providing one of the peoples most important folk
medicines for fever, childbirth, epilepsy, and poultices for rheumatism.
Today if caught growing their old staple, cannabis, their U.S. supported
government/military expropriates their lands. In exchange for doing this to
their people, the leaders then qualify for American foreign and military aid;
all because of marijuana, one of their peoples; oldest livelihoods, folk
medicines, food staples and joys.
A Fundamental Biological Link in the Food Chain
<*-----------------------------------------------*>
Our politicians who made these marijuana prohibition laws based on years
of disinformation, may have doomed not only birds but the human race to
extinction from another direction. Birds in the wild are essential to the
food chain; and they continue to diminish in population due to - among other
things, such as petrochemical pesticides - the lack of hemp seed!
With hemp seed in their diet, birds will live 10-20% longer. And their
feathers have more oil, allowing longer flight.
There were more than 10 million acres of seed-laden cannabis hemp
growing wild in the U.S. prior to 1937, feeding hundreds of millions of birds
as their favorite and most necessary food until our government began its
policy of total eradication of this most primary link in the food chain.
Oblivious to these inherent biocide (killing all life) dangers, our
government (Reagan/Bush/Quayle/Rangel/Biden/Bennett/DuPont, et al.) continues
to escalate these programs of extinction unabated, both here and abroad, at
the insistence of the DEA.
And not only hemp (read planet savior): DuPont has created strains of
grain - for example wheat - that will only grow with THEIR petro-chemical
fertilizers and pesticides. Corn is already so hybridized that it is not
expected to last 50 years without human cultivation.
If for any reason these hybrids die out - as hybrids are apt to do - we
will be without wheat forever.
Sturdy Paper Products
<*---------------------*>
The devastated environments and job markets of the American Northwest
and other timber regions stand to make a dramatic comeback once hemp is
reintroduced to the domestic paper industry.
Paper mills can return to full production levels and loggers will find
new work in hemp trades. Truck drivers can continue to haul pulp to the
mills, and lumber for construction, although the price of lumber will go down
as other demands on our timber resources are reduced by substituting farm-
grown hemp for forest grown wood pulp.
There will also be a lot of work to do in reforestation. Our rivers
will go through a period of recovery following the 60-80% reduction of paper
making chemicals being dumped into them when hemp replaces wood pulp in the
paper industry. This means more fish and more fishing, as well as increased
camping and tourism in the beautiful and vital new growth forest regions.
Spin-Off Trades & Taxes
<*-----------------------*>
Hemp cellulose and oils can be used for literally tens of thousands of
other uses, from paints to dynamite.
As each new hemp trade develops, money will flow from it to re-energize
seemingly unrelated areas of the economy. The American worker and soon-
to-be-rich entrepreneurs will bring millions of new jobs and new products to
the marketplace.
They will also buy thousands of homes, cars and other non-hemp goods;
thus stimulating a real economic expansion based on he ripple effect, rather
than trickle-down economics - pumping money directly into the bloodstream of
the American heartland and benefitting all of society.
Revived farms mean more purchases of equipment, and new businesses
create spin-off jobs in the shipping, marketing and commodities areas.
Farms, banks and investment houses would also realize large profits, and
the billions of hemp-dollars in the legitimate economy would increase tax
revenues and increase the liquid capital available for investment and
purchasing of consumer goods.
Federal, state and local government would realize a windfall of hundreds
of millions of dollars in tax revenues without raising taxes. "If the
marijuana, cocaine and heroin markets were legal, state and federal
governments would collect billions of dollars annually," [assistant professor
of politics at Princeton University Ethan] Nadelman said. "Instead, they
expend billions in what amounts to a subsidy of organized criminals." (L.A.
Times, Nov. 20, 1989, p. A-18.)
And of course, there's all the money already being made off smoking
marijuana; $43 billion in 1988, according to the DEA. Add to that huge (but
not suppressed) home growing and smoking accessories industries, as well as
the necessary farm equipment for production, looms, etc, and hemp could erase
the national debt in a matter of a few short years.
Land values will rise in depressed rural areas, helping to rescue
farmers, developers and speculators who might otherwise have to default on
loans and further worsen the savings and loan crisis.
Land & Soil Reclamation
<*-----------------------*>
Land reclamation is the final and perhaps most compelling economical and
ecological argument for hemp cultivation.
Until this century, our pioneers and ordinary American farmers used
cannabis to clear fields for planting, as a fallow year crop, and after
forest fires to prevent mudslides and loss of watershed.
Hemp seeds put down a 10" to 12" root in only 30 days, compared to the
one-inch root put down by the rye or barley grass presently used by the U.S.
Government. Southern California, Utah and other states used cannabis
routinely in this manner until about 1915. It breaks up compacted,
overworked soil.
In the formerly lush Himalaya region of Bangladesh, Nepal and Tibet
there is not only a light moss covering left as flash floods wash thousands
of tons of topsoil away.
In 1964, Bangladesh (from bhang - cannabis, la - land, desh - people)
signed an 'anti-drug' agreement with the U.S. not to grow hemp. Since that
time the 'marijuana-land-people' have suffered disease, starvation and
decimation, due to unrestrained flooding.
Hemp seeds sown free from airplanes flying over eroding soil could
reclaim land the world over. The farmed out desert regions can be brought
back year after year, not only slowing the genocide of starvation but easing
threat of war and violent revolution.
Natural Guard
<*-------------*>
Instead of National Guard, why not establish a Natural Guard of
environmental soldiers to be our front line for survival - planting trees,
harvesting biomass (eg. hemp) from marginal farm lands and re-building the
infra-structure of America: Our roads, bridges, dams, canals, railroad
tracks.
Isn't this the human, civilized and socially responsible way to use our
human resources, rather than warehousing people like animals in prison?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Our challenge to the world: Try to prove us wrong - if all fossil fuels
and their derivatives (coal, oil, natural gas, synthetic fibers and
petrochemicals) as well as the deforestation of trees for paper and
agriculture (e.g., Brazilian & Indonesian rainforests), are banned from use
in order to save the planet, preserve the ozone layer and reverse the
greenhouse effect with its global warming trend:
Then there is only one known renewable natural resource able to provide
ALL of the following goods and essentials such as paper and textiles; meet
all of the world's transportation, home and industrial energy needs, and clean
the atmosphere - all at the same time - our old standby that did it all
before: Cannabis Hemp...Marijuana!
