GO-Ganja-GO!

Hemp CAN save the world.

There is a documentary called "The Million Dollar Plant"

It explains everything.

Good news z but the third bullet point in the article is a bit discouraging. Also, the last bullet points out the necessity of getting permission from our "uncle" which may be daunting! Nevertheless, let's keep on pushing.

The Jamaican goverment marches to the tune of "Uncle Sam" !!
That tune is "MONEY" in the form of "foreign aid".
Do you really think that Jamaica is going to risk that ?
The Jamaican goverment should stand up against Uncle Sam, and do what is best for it people !!!
ONE LOVE !!
Mike

You said it Mikey Mike, just read what you wrote! Sooner or later too, the Cuban borders will open up for the average American tourist. Though I doubt it suits me anywhere near Jamaica, it is like a new restaurant. When one opens up, no matter if it is good or not, people line up to give it a try. And the other restaurants suffer, short term at best. Now, open Cuba and also get $$ cut off from the U.S., what does that spell? Economic disaster! Trust Goat Mouth on that!!

Change Tack On Marijuana

I have heard recently that the Ganja Commission is once again sitting. I hope that when it rises, it will say to the USA and the rest of the world that we will plant ganja under a controlled system where the growers will be licensed to do so, and that our manufacturing sector will add value to it, perhaps with help from a leading drug manufacturer.

In this event, we will not allow it to be used to further the alienation of people who smoke it in order to hallucinate and escape the ordinariness of the life they now experience, and for which there is a great demand in USA.

May we note that in California marijuana is being grown for medicinal purposes. We certainly can do the same. I am looking forward to hearing from this commission.

The opening up of Cuba is a matter of when, not a matter of if. Right now plans are being made to launch ferry service from Miami and Ft Lauderdale to Cuba. There is no question that will siphon off tourist dollars from yard, and is all the more reason why Ja should explore alternative sources of income such as cannabis for pharmaceutical purposes.

Just watched Dr Oz promoting hemp milk, his favorite. The audience twittered when he explained that it was made from the seeds of ganja brother.

Ed J, hallucinating is rare when cannabis is smoked. Depends on the individual as ones mans medicine is anothers poison. Even the healing aloe vera has a small percentage of those that are allergic to it.

I hope Dr. Oz doesn't get hold of our bush medicines. He also mentioned coconut oil that we so often used back in the day. People have known to capitalize on our ancestors finds.

How useful would hemp be as an alternative fuel? After all isn't it as "oily" as its dearly beloved but outlawed brother? The Ja Govt needs to wake up and smell reality.
