We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people, self-interest over justice, and oppression over equality, run our governments. We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.</span></strong></p>

<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Dear Peacemakers & Friends,</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><br/>As you may know, in California, many will soon be voting to legalize Marijuana, which could also ultimately lead to legalizing the industrial growth of Hemp in the United States. Hemp (a cousin of Marjiuana, also derived from the Cannabis plant) has no psychoactive effect, and has many uses including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, construction, healthy food, and fuel. It's thought of by many as the answer to our economic/energy concerns, and could also be a powerful tool in making sure all people on the planet have access to life's basic needs. THC is the substance in Marijuana with the psychoactive effect, yet it also helps treat various diseases, and there are many who confirm that Cannabis oil (aka "Hash oil", or "THC Laden Hemp oil") cured their cancer. Although the term "Hemp" is used in different ways, generally it refers to the Cannabis crop with a very small amount of THC (not enough to get anyone high). There is much to the story, and I'm continuing to learn more, though it seems obvious that Hemp was made illegal to grow (in the United States and some other countries) not because it's related to Marijuana, but because it's a threat to quite a few industries, including cotton, paper, and oil. <br/><br/>With that being said, the purpose of this discussion is for us to share and learn from each other about Cannabis and all that comes from it. I'd love to know your thoughts...</strong></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Do you feel both Marijuana and the industrial growth of Hemp should be legalized everywhere? Do you think Hemp could be talked about more in mainstream media? What insight might you have to share about the whole story of Cannabis?</span></strong></p>
