Where To Go To Sow Protest? DEA Grass
Posted by CN Staff on October 14, 2009 at 17:16:17 PT
By David Montgomery, Washington Post Staff Writer
Source: Washington Post
Washington, D.C. -- You want to dig a garden, you need a shovel. You want to dig a guerrilla garden of illegal hemp on the front lawn of Drug Enforcement Administration headquarters and get arrested for the cameras, you need a symbol. Shortly before they all were happily handcuffed Tuesday, the farmers took one look at what the activists had brought to dig with, and just shook their heads.
The symbolic shovels were shiny, chrome-plated affairs, the kind for turning the earth in a Washington photo op, stamped with slogans: "Reefer Madness Will Be Buried." When the shovel blades were experimentally pressed into the mulch outside the group's hotel, they bent like toys. "You'll have a real hard time getting through the grass," observed Wayne Hauge, 51, a North Dakota farmer whose previous interactions with police amount to a ticket for driving an overloaded truck of lentils. "Not exactly the divot I was thinking of." But never mind. Time to leave for the demonstration, the protest, the blow against the empire of DEA regulations. They piled into a 1985 Mercedes-Benz painted the color of a Granny Smith apple. Its diesel engine had been converted to run on waste cooking oil supplied for free by a restaurant in Columbia Heights. For the adventure, Adam Eidinger, communications director for the advocacy group Vote Hemp and owner of the Mercedes, spiked the cooking grease with waste hemp oil. He was wearing pants, shirt, socks and shoes all made from hemp. The hemp mobile purred over the Potomac River on the road to Arlington. Farmers and activists say that industrial hemp, as they call it, will not get you high. It has minuscule levels of THC compared with marijuana. But unlike governments in Canada, Europe and China, the DEA will not allow it to be cultivated in the United States, much less on its own front lawn across from the Pentagon City mall. So the expanding industry, estimated at $360 million annually by advocates, is based on imports. Hauge has been certified to grow hemp by North Dakota. He thinks the crop will help his fourth-generation family farm thrive. He has a federal case on appeal to force the DEA to yield to the state law. Also in the car was Will Allen, 73, an organic sunflower and canola farmer from East Thetford, Vt. He has been arrested for protesting the Iraq war, he said. He wants to add organic hemp in rotation with his other crops. The other passenger, tall and lanky in a pinstripe suit with Alcatraz cuff links, was not a farmer. He was David Bronner, 36, president of Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps in Escondido, Calif. Dr. Bronner's! That iconically groovy peppermint liquid lather once was practically prescribed for all kids backpacking from Carmel to Katmandu. It was said to be excellent for washing everything from your face to your jeans to your dishes. David is the grandson of the late Emil Bronner, the original soap-meister. The grandfather wasn't really a doctor, but who was going argue with a guy who loaded his soap bottle labels with tiny script imparting heavy philosophical musings about the "All-One"? Bronner's ponytailed presence on this mission was like the totemic blessing of a previous counterculture upon a new counterculture. Whereas the earlier counterculture was associated mostly with the kind of cannabis that you smoke, the new one has taken up the cause of the kind of cannabis that can go into food, textiles, particle board, automobile panels, biofuel. It's a throwback to the old days, when George Washington grew hemp and the USS Constitution was outfitted with 60 tons of hempen rigging. And soap? Hemp, it turns out, has to do with so, so much. "It gave the lather an additional smoothness," said Bronner, who put hemp oil in the recipe 10 years ago. The DEA referred questions about hemp and the protest to the Justice Department, and Justice referred a reporter to its brief in Hauge's case. The government says it is simply enforcing federal drug laws, which do not distinguish among types of the species cannabis sativa. Hauge and another plaintiff lost at the lower federal court level; a ruling on the appeal is pending. Meanwhile, a handful of state legislatures has approved industrial hemp farming -- but awaits DEA action -- and the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture has endorsed it. There was a final huddle on the sidewalk near the DEA building. Besides the six with shovels who planned to be arrested, 15 other supporters came with signs and cameras. They passed around the number of a lawyer to call from jail. Hauge started writing it on a card. No, said an experienced activist dressed in black. "Write it on your skin." They chose a patch of lush grass outside the entrance to the DEA Museum in Pentagon City. Sure enough, the shiny shovels bent like toys. The protesters bent them back into shape. The farmers showed the others how to dig small trenches. "One to 1 1/2 inches in moderately moist soil," Hauge had advised earlier. The seeds were packets of hemp crunch -- toasted hemp seeds imported from Canada, a nutritious snack. Thousands went into the ground. Private security guards and DEA employees gathered around the gardeners, puzzled. "Do you have a permit?" asked security contractor David Smith. "That's what we want is a permit from the DEA," said Bronner. Smith chuckled at their bendy shovels. "Keep digging, fellas," he said, not unkindly. "You'll be going to jail in a minute." A DEA guy who wouldn't give his name got on his cellphone to a colleague: "They are digging up the grass and planting hemp seeds." Arlington police officers gave two warnings and moved in. Hauge walked calmly in handcuffs to a squad car escorted by an officer who was sucking on a lollipop. All six were charged with trespassing and have hearings this week. Then Hauge has 400 acres of chickpeas to harvest back in North Dakota. Inside the DEA Museum was a display of hemp products that could have come straight from the Hemp Pavilion at the Green Festival last weekend in the Washington Convention Center. "In the 1600s hemp landed in the Americas where it was used to make rope, clothing, paper," the uncritical DEA exhibit said. "Today hemp fibers are used in clothing and jewelry." The protesters couldn't have said it better. The six useless shovels were piled in a carton. Would they go on display? "I don't think so," said a DEA officer. "Evidence." He took pictures of the seeds scattered in the grass. As for the garden -- no hemp will grow there. The toasting process to render the seeds tasty before importation also makes them inert, as required by law. Nobody was about to risk heavy drug-smuggling charges. The symbol was the thing.

Source: People's Daily As world fashion increasingly moves toward simplicity, comfort and health protection, experts point out that hemp, a major economic crop in China, could have great market prospects after the nation's entry into the World Trade Organization.
Xia Jingyuan, a senior official with the Chinese Ministry of Agriculture in charge of the extension of agricultural technology, said that the annual output of Chinese linen is worth over 10 billion yuan (about 1.2 billion US dollars).

Excerpt from National Post article:
"An Australian study, citing United Nations data from 2006 and published in the journal Lancet, found that about 166 million people aged 15-64 -- or an estimated one in 25 in that age range -- reported using cannabis. That's up from about 159 million people in 2005. "It's not going away. So should one in 25 people be criminalized for smoking pot?" asked Eugene Oscapella, an Ottawa professor and spokesman for the Canadian Foundation For Drug Policy. It is urging Ottawa to allow people to grow their own and tax sales."One in every twenty five in that 15-64 age group? Sounds like it might be pretty close.

From that Alternet article
"The action brought some much-needed media attention to the issue, said Eidinger. "We got a really good article in the Washington Post, the Washington Times wrote about it, too, CNN used our video, NPR talked about the action, the Associated Press picked it up, we had a number of TV stations do reports, so we definitely reached a national audience," he recounted. "And North Dakota media has covered this closely; I've been on the phone with all the media in Bismarck."It wasn't just civil disobedience in front of the cameras. After the HIA convention ended, hempsters headed for Capitol Hill, where dozens of people attended over 20 scheduled meetings with representatives of their staffs to lobby for the Frank-Paul hemp bill. Some unannounced, unscheduled meetings also took place, Eidinger said."

Bug study
When my babies were little, we paid attention to the creatures and often translated or wondered about "What they were saying" or thinking. Like the dogs, cats, or horses and whatever.One day my three year old grandson and I were observing a wasp inspecting a door knob on a door leading from the garage to inside the house.We watched it awhile and my grandson asked me "What do you think it's saying?"I said, "I don't know. What do you think it's saying?"He surprised me... and I laughed of course... at one of those times with a child that you probably shouldn't laugh.He looked at the wasp inspecting the door knob a while longer and then he said, "He's saying, "What the hell is this?""

GO BRECKENRIDGE!
Breckenridge, Colorado's ballot question to RE-legalize cannabis is coming up. This is an article from today's Summit Daily News. VOTE YES, Breck.-0-US CO: A law enforcement view on marijuanaWebpage: http://www.summitdaily.com/article/20091015/COLUMNS/910149984/1078&ParentProfile=1055Pubdate: 15 Oct 2009
US CO: A law enforcement view on marijuana
As a former law enforcement officer, I wholeheartedly support ballot issue 2F, the proposal to establish a sensible marijuana policy in the Town of Breckenridge.In May of 1964, I pinned a badge on my shirt in the City of New York. Six years later I became one of the first Lakewood Police Agents and served for three years. I later went to Jefferson County Schools and in 1974 moved to the mountains where I became the Summit County Undersheriff and the very first director of public safety. All told, I have more than 31 years active duty as a police officer and have held a commission for over 44 years.In my many years as a police officer, I never saw anyone hurt or killed from the use of marijuana. The only thing ever destroyed was an expedient bag of potato chips. In my experience, the greatest behavioral threat from an adult using marijuana is that the user fall asleep. At polls starting on October 19, voters will consider whether to remove criminal penalties for the adult private possession of small amounts of marijuana under the Breckenridge Town Code. I encourage citizens to vote �yes� on this ballot question. Based on my experiences in law enforcement and at the state Legislature, I believe we need to stop criminalizing responsible adults who choose to relax at night with marijuana � a safer drug then alcohol.Marijuana should be regulated for adult use and taxed to the maximum. This new tax revenue could benefit education and health care. The money saved by eliminating law enforcement efforts to enforce these broken laws would amount to many billions more.Marijuana is not a gateway drug. I worked with large groups of heroin users in New York City and they did not start with marijuana. Most started with alcohol. Several people have died in our towns and county from the use of alcohol in the past year, but there have been no such problems with marijuana. Let's stop punishing adults for making a safer choice when recreating.Summit County and Breckenridge have long been leaders on important social issues. Frisco and Breckenridge were two of the first towns in Colorado to legalize medical marijuana. Please join me in voting for sensible marijuana reform by voting early � from October 19 until the 30 � or on Election Day Nov. 3.In addition to his years in law enforcement, Gary Lindstrom is also a former Summit County commissioner and Colorado House Rep.

Lots O Dichotomy, Duality, Yin Yang, Jekyll & Hyde
surround our plant."I think she helped women get the right to vote, too.She also instigated and promoted and fear mongered to get cannabis prohibited."President Dichotomy, aka Thomas Jefferson, wrote of the virtues of growing hemp, but also wrote to Pierre DuPont and encouraged him to come to the USA.FDR ended the federal prohibition of alcohol, yet began the federal prohibition of cannabis.While marijuana hasn't killed any, hemp rope has been used to execute and lynch many.And, of course, the fact that such a safe, useful, renewable, "green" plant is illegal when we need it most.Maybe it's because it has two sexes.Which begs the question, why did women's suffrage often have some sort of prohibition come along with it?

He deserves a little freaking out every once in a while.I really do though have to comfort him sometimes... nothing serious. They get him kind of shook sometimes driving down those long country roads at night. It took me awhile to get him to not be so shook about the 2012 business. He laughed the other day when I told him the real Mayans, the descendants of the calendar makers, were sick of it. I read that there, too. I think.

Emily
A "Lady" from a long time ago in Canada. She did some good stuff... but she was a racist and a prohibitionists and all that, too.I believe it was Emily. Maybe I better check the article. I'm pretty sure it was Emily. Quite an influential lady of her time. (That was no "Lady"... that was a prohibitionist.)I saw a photograph once of a statue of her somewhere there in Canada. She was rather formidable if she was much like her formidable looking statue. I think she wrote something called "The Black Candle" or something under a pseudonym. I think she helped women get the right to vote, too. She also instigated and promoted and fear mongered to get cannabis prohibited.
