Willie Nelson talks about hemp and the family farm. Why is it illegal when it can't get you high? All cannabis should be legal not just hemp. It just goes to show, the real reason it's illegal is MONEY.

Jul 8, 2008 - WILLIE is clear thinking and articulate with a wide rang of knowlage on the subject of industrial use of hemp and some hemp related indistrys. i have only seen matress tags of hemp and it was a tight weev canvisy silky material that seemed durable. if i was the government and wanted to make money from pot i would make it ileagal, then get paid to fight it, and find a way to get paid to sell it at inflated ilieagal prices. i no it made good shipping rop in the war so it must be strong.

Jul 8, 2008 - hemp is Canada's most profitable crop. the U.S. is about the only nation where industrial hemp isn't legal. think of the millions of jobs that can be created with this crop that has over 50000 uses.

Jul 10, 2008 - danny: there are many reports on what it does. so far they have realized it can cure 3 cancers among many other medical items. if you research the bible you realize Jesus anointed people with cannabis oil. I myself have smoked daily for 21 yrs. I take no pills, see no dr's, have no illnesses, never get sick/flu and look 14 yrs younger than I am. Oh, I am a minister as well. God clearly says "I gave you every herb bearing seed as meat". Meaning it is for food, health, etc.

Jul 13, 2008 - Hemp is TOTALLY Natural, AS-IS, without man intervening. When "they" start to create seeds from scratch, encoded with it's design instructions, producing a helpful & natural fruit from the Earth, then "they' can tell me about "the natural law." I vote "NO" on synthetic poisons. Peace, Joey

Jul 13, 2008 - I think it's different for everyone Danny. If you smoke it once in a while, it might not be so bad for you. Just don't smoke it like a chimney. Looks like Willie Nelson is on his game, though to me. He's makin lots of sense. If it's a good crop, why not grow it?

Jul 13, 2008 - willie rules. And I hope everyone doesn't take this as a pro smoking-weed vid. What he says has great economical consequences.

Jul 13, 2008 - The drug is lethal, it's a gateway drug to other drug, cigarettes are worse with 3,000 chemicals in one cig., Narconon has a 70% success rate at getting young people off drugs, and the organization is located around the world, google it. Exercise and vitamins is a better way to get an alternate state. Medical marajuana is dangerous and amotivational and financial disaster that will bankrupt those hooked on the drug and fathers will not have enough for milk. No on hemp!
KamikazeKoscki Says:
Jul 13, 2008 - Alochol problems, marajuana, and prescriptions drugs the combo is destroying families, why save the planet when you will lose your family from the toxic drug which causes problems in relationships. The pathological problems are too big of a risk and not worth advocating. Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll is destroying our country and it's not a game or a joke when young adults are missing school and their parents become emotional available to their community and family because of these drugs.

Jul 13, 2008 - Ha, ha, ha, ho, ho, ho, he, he, he. What planet do you live on? God, I could show you sooooo much proof you are wrong but people like you wouldn't listen if God Himself told it to you. Speaking of God. Cannabis is one of the main ingredients in the anointing oil, called Kaneh bosm (also fragrent cane) used by the priest in the Old Testament and by Jesus. In fact Christ means the Anointed one. Since it was so important to Jesus and followers then to persecute someone is Anti-Christ.

Jul 13, 2008 - Want to learn how to grow food in abundance. Check out the permascience channel.Get hold of books on permaculture. Modern farming represents the death of soil and diversity. Join a permaculture group, go on a course, there are thousands.Link up with the farmers and cut out the corporations. Don't eat the sh-t pushed by the big supermarkets, fast food outlets and mega farms... it will kill you and destroy this place.

Jul 13, 2008 - The idea is not a new one, in fact that's how people used to live over a hundred years ago. If you can find old issues of "Mother Earth News Magazine", especially from the '70's and '80's they have info on self suffeciency, from garnening to producing your own electricity to building hybred electric cars. The last I looked, there not worth buying anymore, too commercial. I would love to set up a self suffecient community, but I'd have to win the lottery to do it, lol.
dragon8me2 Says:
Jul 13, 2008 - Don't say that too loud or Monsanto will get ahold of it and patent it so we'll all have to buy seeds from them, like there doing with genetically modified corn. Watch "The World According To Monsanto".
JoeyJr702 Says:
Jul 13, 2008 - haha! yeah, really, but "they" can only modify, not create from scratch.

Jul 15, 2008 - Way to go, Willie!
yafanna3 Says:
Jul 15, 2008 - Hemp(marijuana,pot,cannibus) is not a drug and NOT lethal. If it was, there wouldn't be people alive today who started smoking it in the 60's. I smoked it myself,in the 70's and stopped when I got a divorce,cause I could no longer afford it and couldn't risk going to prison.Now, I'm just waiting for it to become legal.

Jul 15, 2008 - Our Government and the Multinational corporations are destroying our country. Pay attention, stay focused and listen. Know who your enemies are, WE are not the problem, our politicians from both parties and the uber-wealthy are the ones destroying this country.
dannyman0513 Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - I don't really understand why smoking this stuff would be so good for you. I'm for legalizing it but I can't beleive that it does more good for you than bad. I've personally and proudly avoided it thinking that all people who smoke it are losers who waste their precious money and time on it when they could be doing something more productive. Have I been wrong?
