California Decriminalizes Pot

Although The Hemp Network focuses on hemp products, the legal aspects of marijuana are also important.  Especially as it relates to growing the plant itself.

 

On Friday, California Governer Arnold Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill 1449.  By doing so, he reduced the charges for possession of non-medical marijuana from a misdemeanor to an infraction.  The measure ammends the California Health and Safety Code, and applies to those caught with up to 1 ounce of marijuana.  The infraction does not require a court appearance or go into the criminal record, but instead is punishable by a $100 fine.

 

Schwarzenegger was clear that his decision was based purely on economics, saying:

 

"In this time of drastic budget cuts, prosecutors, defense attorneys, law enforcement, and the courts cannot afford to expend limited resources prosecuting marijuana misdemeanor offenses," Gov. Schwarzenegger stated. Norml.Org

 

The question now is:  How will Senate Bill 1449 affect Prop. 19? 

 

Prop 19 would allow those 21 and older to legally possess marijuana and use it in non-public places.  It also allows residence to grow marijuana in a 25 square foot area, and allows the local government to impose and collect taxes on those sales.

 

 

Hemp Protein Powder...and A Smoothie

Wondering about hemp protein powder?  

Pure Hemp Protein Powder is actually a whole food protein powder. It is very rich in complete protein and beneficial branch chain amino acids. It also has a good balance of Omega 6 and Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs). When adding Hemp Protein powder to your diet you also increase your healthy dietary fiber. - Healthy New Age

.....not to mention that it's perfect for vegans and raw foodists.  

This video explains the health benefits of hemp, and shows you how to make a delicious hemp smoothie.  

Abundant Activists.....Is that possible?

I can't stress enough how important it is to understand the role that abundance plays when it comes to being an activist.  There are so many of us that seem to have real hang ups with the idea of abundance in our life.  In fact, I've decided to write something up about it, and will be posting it later today.  Expect controversy.... :)

Just to leave you with a little something to think about, here's an excerpt from a fellow team member today...... 

 

Those of us who are, or have been, committed to a cause (or many) understand how much more powerful our message becomes when there is enough money to get that message in front of people.  Since this company is equal parts Truth Movement, Political Movement and Business Opportunity, we have the good fortune to be in the perfect position to become Abundant Activists, with the income to lift our cause(s) to new heights.  We need more "Abundant Activists" to grow our Team, provide others with powerful, yet basic, nutritional and personal care products and spread the word about HEMP!!  

As a collective force, we have the potential to push change in arcane domestic policies surrounding hemp as a viable, healthy, renewable, organic industry that, as it happens, can also SAVE THE PLANET!!  We are literally getting paid to help save our Mother Earth!!  It doesn't get any better than this!!  -Brian Reymore

Much more from me on this later!

Humankinds Savior?

Before I started learning about hemp, I had no idea what an incredible plant it really was.  This is a great article that explains the importance of hemp and its 50,000 uses:

 

With the help of the hemp plant we, as a society could eliminate smog from current fuels, create a cleaner energy source that can replace nuclear power, remove radioactive waste from the soil, and eliminate smog from our skies in more industrialized areas. The hemp plant could assist in eliminating non-biodegradable plastics and cars by reintroducing Henry Ford's 100 year old dream of building cars made from hemp with a plastic hemp car body that can withstand a blow 10 times as great as steel without denting, weighs 1 thousand pounds less than steel, hence improving gas mileage, can run on a vegetable oil based all natural hemp fuel, and has a completely biodegradable body. Nationwide hemp production could eliminate deforestation by converting current paper to hemp paper which can be recycled up to 8 times where as our current wood pulp is only recyclable up to 3 times, and we could thrive from eating hemp seeds and feeding it to our animals and livestock.

Industrial hemp can make our future roads, highways and freeways from hemp based concrete, which lasts for centuries. Society can benefit from the hemp plant's attributes such as oxygen production, hemp's dense root structure, and hemp's nutrient and nitrogen production back into the soil. Chemicals in cannabis can be used in medicines and are estimated to treat around 250 diseases and illnesses, from which studies have shown inhibits the growth of cancer cells in rats, as well as a long list of other ailments. Finally, we could make an estimated 50,000 products ranging from building composites, cellophane, dynamite to shampoo, textiles, twine and yarn. If the US grew industrial hemp it could stop wars, save the environment, boost our economy, improve general health and well being, virtually end our reliance on any foreign entity, and save humankind from itself.

Is Hemp The New Soy?

Did you know that hemp can be used as a very effective wellness
supplement? Most people think of hemp as a drug, but hemp is a plant
that has numerous health benefits. Until the 1880's it was the most
domesticated plant on the planet.
