Stephen King: Marijuana industry

"I think that marijuana should not only be legal, I think it should be a cottage industry. It would be wonderful for the state of Maine. There's some pretty good homegrown dope. I'm sure it would be even better if you could grow it with fertilizers and have greenhouses. . . ." - Stephen King

Legalization

California Issues Official Title, Summary, and Legislative Analysis for Legalize, Regulate, and Tax Marijuana Initiative:

Medical marijuana is giving activists a chance to show how a legitimized pot business can work. Is the end of prohibition upon us? Far from protecting us and our children, the war on drugs is making the world a much more dangerous place. COPS SAY LEGALIZE DRUGS! ASK US WHY

Billion Dollar Crop - The history and advantages of hemp as an industrial fiber

Billion Dollar Crop - The history and advantages of hemp as an industrial fiber.
Directed by Barbara Ann Chobocky Produced with Michael Cordell and Jeffrey Bruer
This surprising video explains the environmental interest in the non-drug variety of hemp as a versatile industrial fiber, and documents the history of its prohibition.
Backed by years of worldwide research, BILLION DOLLAR CROP exposes the political and industrial manipulations, which outlawed one of the most valued plants in history.
Hemp once provided the paper on which US banknotes were printed, the cloth for the original Levi jeans, as well as the sails and rigging of ships. During World War II it was of such strategic importance that the US Government encouraged farmers to convert to hemp cultivation.
BILLION DOLLAR CROP shows how the recently developed, non-drug variety of hemp is being researched and cultivated internationally because of the plant's versatile qualities and environmental friendliness. This program takes the audience on a world tour from Australia to the United Kingdom, and from The Netherlands to France and the US. It illustrates how hemp is being cultivated as an industrial fiber for use as an alternative to wood for paper production, to cotton for clothes, and to plywood for construction. We all benefit, especially our forests and topsoil.

Jack Herer: Hemp can save the planet

If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the Greenhouse Effect and stop deforestation;then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time...
and that substance is the same one that has done it before ...

Run From The Cure - The Rick Simpson Story

A Film By Christian Laurette

After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil.

BBC Horizon: A Look At Medicinal Cannabis & Sativex UK

"A look at the development of SATIVEX, the cannabis derived medicine being grown at the secret location known as Porton Down. Only now was the existence of CBD (Cannabidiol) and its anti-psychotic properties mentioned, and the claim made that some of the newer recreational strains contain no CBD at all (which isn’t actually correct, although CBD levels are low in some strains). A good case for the proper regulation of the commercial trade was almost made, but avoided." - The UKCIA News Blog from: "BBC Horizon Cannabis: The Evil Weed?"
  • marijuana grow operation for production of Sativex
  • Interview with Dr. Philip Robson about cannabinoids focusing on THC and CBD
