POPSGeorge Washington's Hemp Crop The father of our country had painful wooden teeth. And cannabis is a potent painkiller found in traditional medical practices the world over going back thousands of years. Fiber hemp farmers don't separate the male from female plants. Marijuana farmers remove the male plants (which display their sex first) before they fertilize the females so that the females then produce lots of THC.

POPSDrug Decriminalization in Portugal
The political consensus in favor of decriminalization is unsurprising in light of the relevant empirical data. Those data indicate that decriminalization has had no adverse effect on drug usage rates in Portugal, which, in numerous categories, are now among the lowest in the EU, particularly when compared with states with stringent criminalization regimes. Although postdecriminalization usage rates have remained roughly the same or even decreased slightly when compared with other EU states, drug-related pathologies β such as sexually transmitted diseases and deaths due to drug usage β have decreased dramatically. Drug policy experts attribute those positive trends to the enhanced ability of the Portuguese government to offer treatment programs to its citizens β enhancements made possible, for numerous reasons, by decriminalization...

Contrary to the loudly expressed view of so many politicians, this specialist of 25 years experience told us that when heroin is properly used by doctors, it is "a very safe drug".

POPSThe Hemp Revolution [documentary] I firmly believe that economic and environmental imperatives will compel America to re-examine our relationship to this plant. It's going to get to the point where people realize that, aside from recreational use, it's just too damn useful a plant and it grows damn well just about anywhere. The cannabis plant helped defeat Germany and Japan. HEMP FOR VICTORY!
