This guy, Hemp, is incredibly qualified to do almost ANY job he puts his mind to- just look at his CV!!!

But it ain't about him- it's all about his notorious cousin.

We got Ted Williams a BUNCH of job offers- let's do the same for Hemp!

1. We would give hemp a job, but

his mom says he needs to find God first.

2. I was once told, "The anti marijuana movement was founded and perpetuated on a sham."

I used it as a pull quote for an article on legalization while at a college weekly in the early 90's. The source was a lawyer working in the DA's office. The whole reefer madness theory he said, was promoted in order to remove cannabis as a textile from the market place because of how diversified its uses could be. DuPont, Eli Lilly, and the Hearst publishing empire all benefited from it being categorized as a 'controlled' substance. If memory serves, Harry Anslinger acted as the DC point man acted to spearhead this effort.

Great Video, I rec'd it; thanx for sharing.

3. there is obviously someone's economic interest working

against such a rational alternative resource.....and the only way to keep it from becoming a viable resource is to make people become hysterically, emotionally opposed to it.

4. A sell the fear tactic that remains to this day an effective propaganda tool.

Or we wouldn't have things like the Patriot Act or any of its various twisted little cousins like the TSA.

5. he should go hang out with his cousin

and sell weed for a living seeing as how he cant get a regular job and all
