Consuming ecosystems turned into toxic energy and manufacturing generating “Gaiacidal” materials knowingly subverts natural relationships that are essential to maintaining functional integrity in Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air and wildlife. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the past few decades, humanity has become increasingly aware of how close we are to inevitable ecological “ripping points,” from which recovery isn’t possible. Social and economic imbalances are increasing concurrently, as the possibility of nuclear annihilation looms, at the whim of fossil fuels </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">enriched, warmongering global industrialists. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">At what point does the pointless absurdity of mankind’s current dominant social evolutionary trajectory run out of illusory value? The hologram of value currently represented in human economic markets is disingenuous. The foreseeable terminus has rendered mankind’s previously accepted values functionally obsolete. In the absence of crucial systemic relationships being eroded by increasing demand, inefficiency and consumption, a non-linear extinction level event becomes increasingly likely.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Integrated environmental services that <span style="font-weight: bold;">were once dismissed by industry as inconvenient, “unquantifiable externalities,” burdensome to the bottom line & inconvenient for centralized control; have become urgent national security priorities in every nation, with limited time running out at an accelerating rate.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Fortunately, in “The Tree of Life” there is Nature’s biogenic herbal remedy, that may yet be effective in helping mankind to avert the ripping point of irreversible systemic collapse. If a timely, proportionate, organic agricultural response is initiated before this Spring in 2023, the world may yet have time to coordinate with Nature for the eventual healing of the Earth, and mankind’s peaceful social evolution. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is in everyone’s best interest to heal the planet, and secure regional natural resources providing complete essential nutrition, while providing abundant, clean energy. There’s only ONE crop that does all of those things, from the same organic harvest, in more countries, in the shortest span of time, with the greatest environmental & agronomic benefits: </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Human physiology depends upon our Endogenous Cannabinoid System for optimum health & proper development. Federally recognized in the U.S. as a “strategic resource” since 1942, “hemp” is essential for complete essential nutrition, providing food & energy security in every country where it can be grown. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Cannabis is uniquely, essentially nutritious, not dangerous or undesirable until it’s made “illegal.” Cannabis is mankind’s functional interface with the Earth’s Natural Order.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The evolution of revolution is revaluation.</span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It’s time to think outside the bong about Cannabis. Integrated natural systems require mankind’s immediate return to responsible stewardship. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Objective assessment and logic are needed regarding mankind’s choices of the natural resources we have to work with in supplying industry with optimally “Gaiatherapeutic” industrial feedstocks. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On land & sea, natural systems are under persistent chemical attack. Conditions of radical contamination and imbalance in dynamic systems has become commonplace. Entire regions of the Ocean are expanding “dead zones.”</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Extreme contamination of Earth’s hydrologic cycle has rendered further manufacture and consumption of endocrine disrupting “forever chemicals” functionally obsolete. Reproductive systems in man, plants & animals are being impacted.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Mankind’s long term industrial production increasingly depends upon our achieving cooperative, symbiotic relationship within Earth’s highly evolved systems. Earth-healing, “Gaiatherapeutic industry” is more immediately essential to mankind’s functional integrity within the Natural Order than it has ever been.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Two hundred years ago, the native people lived in functional balance and harmony with Nature. What was taken, with spiritually-founded gratitude, did not deplete Mother’s bounty nor upset her balance. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The lives of game animals were essential for survival. People honored the necessities of life as blessings, generously bestowed by a benevolent universal spirit. Mythologies were created to conceptualize respect for natural manifestations of apparent mystic influence. The Earth, Sun, Moon and stars were seen as ancient kin, spiritual ambassadors of gods, held in justifiable awe & passionate reverence. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">No part of brother buffalo ‘Tatonka’ was wasted. Salmon were deified in reverential recognition of their foundational importance to human survival. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Multi-dimensional, entheogenic experiences further broadened mankind’s elevated regard and consideration of human existence, inspiring visions, dreams and profound philosophical insights. Life was worshipped for its ability to give life. Fecundity was life’s precious alchemy of Creation insuring survival. Nature was exalted and respected for giving insights into dimensions of existence greater than ourselves.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Eventually, dishonesty, greed & avarice achieved political dominance through skullduggery; creating the gods of money, celebrated in our own image & indulgences, elevating egos, personal wealth & status above consideration of Mother Earth. “Modern” industrial avarice has long since displaced spiritual respect for Nature. Eliminating hemp from the free market warped human values as other toxic resources & practices were elevated to fill the void of industrial feedstocks created by legislation.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the prohibition of Cannabis, a sacred & spiritual being was subjugated through falsehood, prejudice & technology. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Her genus name ceased being capitalized. The sacred goddess spirit embodied in “The Tree of Life” was coldly whored to industry, and remains so to this day.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Even though the Christian God’s first commandment was quoted, repeated twice in “every herb” as mankind’s meat (Genesis 1:29-31), we continue to live in conditions of epidemic scarcity and malnutrition.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Without the added dimension of moral accountability, “circular economies” can still steamroll over ancient, spiritually inclusive “spherical” value systems.

When farming of hemp was banned, the most globally available and abundant vegetable protein and biofuels feedstock was removed from the “ free market.”Patterns of energy production were established and impacted by “drug” policies against a “strategic” “herb.” </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Military industries flourished, needed to secure access to unevenly distributed energy resources. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In the absence of Respect for Nature, Earth-killing, “Gaiacidal” industries have displaced & supplanted an Earth-healing alternative. Wealth disparity has achieved dangerous extremes through ruthless media manipulation of markets and human values. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Wealth has been glamorized over respect for Nature. Global conferences to decide the fate of Earth’s future unnecessarily consume obscene quantities of toxic resources in meaningless time-wasting inefficiency.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Resources that can be controlled by the wealthy few are subsidized by governments. Cannabis hemp, which cannot be centralized & controlled is over-regulated, suppressed & banned. There is no mystery or ambiguity regarding our ecological predicament. As long as problems are allowed to generate profit, they will continue to be created by intention.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is inconceivable that mankind’s selection of industrial feedstocks has expanded beyond reason to include self-destructive poisons. Modern industry consumes natural resources whose functional environmental significance supersedes material values placed upon the commodities manufactured from them.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Among the most egregious examples of this perverse dynamic is found in mankind’s production of paper. Even though the boreal forests have long been celebrated for their critically important environmental services as the “lungs of the Earth,” half of the world’s boreal forests have been cut down or died from pest infestations in the past seventy years. 80% of the forests were rendered into paper products using chemical-intensive, toxic industrial processes. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Big mistake. All of those paper products could have been made better, at less cost, with less pollution, using organically grown hemp. Compared with paper made from trees, an acre of hemp is estimated to produce four times the volume of paper, using a fraction of the processing chemicals.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">While “circular economics” has been introduced in response to problems of manufacturing, reuse & waste disposal, “forever chemicals” and ubiquitous, environmentally persistent plastics have nevertheless become imbedded within Earth’s hydrology. A spherical Earth-first perspective has become increasingly urgent and necessary.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Time is the only thing we can’t make more of. Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Time is the NFT of the 21st century.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">On a planet threatened with systemic collapse, the value of money is linked to the time & efficiency it buys. A rich man with one minute to live is not wealthy at all. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">A circular economic model maps out patterns of human industry that are pointed in the right direction, though in my understanding of it, the dimensions of time & spirituality seem to be left out of the modern “circular” industrial model. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Circular production dynamics are inherent to spherical economics. Expanded dimensions of time and morally accountable responsibility orient toward global harmony and a livable future for subsequent generations of all life. The absence of corporate accountability for environmental harms would not be possible in a spherical value system.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Past mistakes continue to compound. Dangerous absurdities ricocheting over decades of profitable dysfunction, metastasize into radical systemic imbalance, threatening every creature on Earth with an unthinkable future. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Respect for Nature is revealed as an urgent element that has been missing from mankind’s industrial evolution. Respect for Nature has become essential for recovering global systemic balance in the time we may have left to make a difference.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Conditions of imbalance are at dangerous extremes and getting worse at an accelerating rate. The window of opportunity is closing for mankind to make a difference in our collective fate. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Doing the right things too late achieves the same undesirable result as doing the wrong things. The longer we hesitate in initiating Cannabis-inclusive strategies to heal Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air and wildlife, the smaller become mankind’s chances for survival.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Two hundred years ago people used the animals they hunted for more than just food. Every part of a buffalo, deer, elk, and antelope were used in some way. Functionality determined value. Spiritually charged gratitude was culturally imbedded into indigenous traditions and sacred practices. Sincere gratitude was an individual’s direct line to the divine. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In our time, the Cannabis plant has become unique in its ability to provide essential nutrition and other “strategic” commodities, simultaneous with time-limited critically essential environmental services. Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete essential nutrition and abundant, clean energy from the same organic harvest; as it simultaneously heals Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air and wildlife; while redistributing the true wealth of the world.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Objective consideration of Cannabis values demands an end to institutional foolishness. The patina of misinformation and hysteria that has surrounded hemp, has clouded rational thought and undermined farm & garden policy for more than eight decades.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vast herds of buffalo provided abundance for native peoples for thousands of years. In the sea, fish were plentiful, food for Cetaceans, man and other predators. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">If mankind is to survive, we must expand the arable base by growing a non-invasive pioneer crop that produces the abundance of protein, energy, paper, building materials, cloth, etc. needed to satisfy the needs of a growing global population. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Because environmental conditions and systemic relationships are changing at an accelerating rate, the urgency of properly assessing the increasing value of time is growing as well. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">If there is a crop that makes better use of the time we may have left to make a difference, then the value of that crop includes both the material goods manufactured from the industrial feedstocks produced, as well as the time values of environmental services associated with organic cultivation of a resource that is beneficial to the functional integrity of the Natural Order.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Like the buffalo, every part of the hemp plant has functional value. If done properly, there is zero waste or pollution. Many products of higher quality than currently being produced, at less cost, with more environmental benefit from Cannabis, accompanied by many environmental benefits associated with its cultivation. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Serving mankind’s essential needs while supporting Nature’s systemic integrity, qualifies Cannabis as mankind’s functional interface with the Earth’s Natural Order. There is no other crop that fulfills all of the requirements needed for a livable future. Cannabis is uniquely essential, the sacred Tatanka of our time.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Without a Cannabis hemp-inclusive free market, our species can never achieve sustainable existence on this planet. Government regulation of Cannabis has proved to be as harmful as the disastrous pandemic response, over a much longer time period.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">A spherical economic perspective affords clear, objective natural resource assessments. Without a doubt, hemp processing and utilization are required on a scale that is in proportion to the vast tracts of boreal forests and inconceivable expanses of marine phytoplankton lost in the past seventy years. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">There’s need for a comprehensive, realistic agricultural resource revaluation before this Spring planting season in 2023.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">A polar shift in Cannabis value from “illegal” to essential is urgently needed, for mankind to achieve timely transition into “spherical” Earth-healing industry production models, in time to make a difference.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">“Gaiatherapeutic industry” is meant to characterize mankind’s value systems that are healing to the Earth.

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I’ve been wondering for decades, which of the apocalyptic threats humans have been creating will be the first to manifest global annihilation, extinguishing all life from this planet; And, how much more time may we have left to make a difference, if it’s not too late already. </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">As it is, we may not have too much longer to wait before we find out.

A very small “window of opportunity” for healing this planet is getting smaller, closing at an accelerating rate. Collapse of the entire human social order could come at any minute with the intentional or accidental exchange of nuclear missiles. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Collapse of Earth’s integrated natural systems could likewise come at any second; in unforeseen, “non-linear extinction level events” that we’ve been warned of repeatedly by the IPCC, since 2014. (2)</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Global governance seems entranced in rote repetition of entrenched, extinctionistic economic patterns, propping-up status quo illusions of toxic value; wielding impacted, obsolete, dysfunctional & degenerate control systems; rather than initiating timely, innovative, uniquely effective, responsible, coordinated global action to address dangerously unstable human economic & natural systems. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">To rebalance mankind’s extreme conditions of essential resource disparity is only possible if we use the singularly effective, biogenic strategy that works with Nature to heal natural systems in the time we may have left to make a difference. (8)</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Time is the only thing we can’t make more of. Time is the NFT of the 21st century.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">With the catastrophic deaths of 50% of the world’s boreal forests and marine phytoplankton in the past seventy years, Cannabis hemp has become mankind’s functional interface with the Natural Order that sustains all life on Earth.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Working with Nature to heal Nature is not optional. Doing the right thing too late achieves the same undesirable, extinctionistic result as doing the wrong things will. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Humanity has precious little time left to fix what we’ve broken. It’s 2022; it’s not 1975 anymore. There is no time left to waste, no room for error, and no time left to delay a global, organic agricultural campaign to heal Earth’s atmosphere of increasing solar UV-B radiation.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Ignoring the most obvious course of action with the greatest possibility of success has yielded no viable alternative strategies, either agricultural or technological. Biogenic, “Gaiatherapeutic” (i.e. Earth-healing) strategies that offer some possible, realistic chance of succeeding in resolving the most fundamental threats to all life on Earth in the time we may have left to make a difference are still not being discussed. COP 26 excluded hemp from the UN Climate Conference, as though we have time to be snobby about solutions.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Time, money and Human Resources are being squandered as people and institutions in positions of influence continue to steer us all toward irreversible, violent systemic collapse, before the middle of this century.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">By the time “cascading systems failures” become obvious they will become irreversible. Multiple time-lags & inertial feedback loops obscure awareness of unknowable “ripping points” of recovery, which will have long passed before they are recognized in tragic retrospect. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Economic inertia clouds governance, continuing to perpetuate humankind’s primitive disrespect of natural systems, long after the breakdown in systemic functionality has been revealed by atmospheric monitoring data & empirical observations. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">FACT: </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">There is only ONE federally-recognized “strategic resource” that yields BOTH complete nutrition and clean energy from the same organic harvest; in more countries, in less time, providing more essential nutrition, environmental benefit & organic agronomic services than any other crop. Why has this plant been banned for eighty-five years, rather than being grown “any where” as George Washington advised? (10)</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">At the same time, hemp heals Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air and wildlife; it can be used to phytoremediate demineralized, contaminated, irradiated, compacted & eroded soils. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">A non-invasive pioneer crop that produces complete nutrition & clean energy from the same organic harvest in many countries around the world, in a very short span of time; Cannabis is uniquely qualified to expand Earth’s arable base and increase the carrying capacity of this planet.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">In addition, there is only ONE agricultural resource that produces the enormous volume of atmospheric aerosol terpenes that is needed to replenish Earth’s stratosphere with aerosol terpenes, following the catastrophic deaths of the world’s boreal forests and marine phytoplankton, that used to produce twice the volume of terpenes they do now. Terpenes block the increasing solar UV-B radiation that’s “UV-Broiling” the planet at twice the levels and frequency of occurrence compared with levels that used to shield the Earth from the Sun just seventy years ago.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">It is madness to stubbornly ignore the only solution there is when it is so obvious. Willful institutional ignorance continues to delay public awareness of the true, unique & essential natural value of Cannabis hemp. It would be especially sad if institutional recalcitrance turns out to be the cause of mankind’s extinction. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">As Bill Gates scatters chalk dust from a hot air balloon (5), and mirrors float in space (6), while sulfur missiles are shot at the sky (7), human disrespect for Nature continues to afflict mankind’s social evolution, threatening national security in every country with “additional disputes” predicted after 2030.

Coordinating every country’s military personnel and coordinated infrastructure, from armies to farmers, means distributing hemp seed to every farmer & home gardener on the planet. </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">A polar shift in values is needed immediately. Hemp must be recognized as being urgently essential, not illegal. It is the fossil fuels, nuclear energy and military industrial economies that are toxic to Mother Earth. “Reefer Madness” continues to mischaracterize Cannabis hemp, wounding our perceptions of value, a barrier build on fraud, obviating mankind’s realization of our shared desire for world peace.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Absent a timely, proportionate global response, “non-linear extinction level events” will punctuate our continued decline into environmental disintegration and escalating, violent upheaval in the human social order.</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Everyone’s best chance for survival depends on all people everywhere understanding the unique and essential value of Cannabis hemp — immediately! </p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">For everyone’s children to inherit a peaceful, livable 22nd century, this Spring 2022 perhaps it might help to consciously, objectively identify Cannabis hemp as fulfilling all of the properties attributed to “the Tree of Life which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.” ~ Revelation 22:2 (3)</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">###</p><p style="background-color: white; color: #003b43; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 20px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px; min-height: 23px;">References </p><ol>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The following is my reply to a public participation form for the Town Hall Meeting this afternoon. (5) </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">“Specific Question you would like to ask about</span>”:</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Will you please meet with our broad-based coalition of Cannabis hemp industry leaders, to discuss the accelerated, federal emergency preparedness protocol “essential military and civilian demand,” for the “strategic” herb bearing seed””of first necessity to the wealth and protection of the country” & planet? </span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Essential Rationale:</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">FACT: Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition and clean energy from the same organic harvest. At the same time, hemp produces atmospheric aerosol terpenes and oxygen, as it sequesters & sinks carbon in durable, recyclable goods; healing Earth’s atmosphere, soil, water, air & wildlife. Increasing solar UV-B radiation is a national security threat that is being overlooked. </span> </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Because we are not growing hemp for seed & stalk in Oregon, we are food & energy insecure. </span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Whatever people depend upon for those essentials now, may not be available very soon for a variety of reasons. Climate change, supply chain disruption, fuel shortages are all increasingly likely to impose hardships that are responsibly addressed through regional, organic agricultural production.</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.4px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Likewise suppression of the hemp animal feed industry by undemocratically self-empowered groups like</p>
<p style="color: #54595f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) is counter productive to the requisite, proportionate, immediate, global response to the present lethal threats posed by increasing solar UV-B radiation.</p><p style="color: #54595f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">It is patently absurd to cripple production of vegan feeds when current industry feeds are known to contaminate wild fish populations & Earth’s hydrology with increasingly anti-biotic-resistant biological pathogens, along with the persistent pharmaceuticals used in aquaculture.</p>
<p style="color: #54595f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Such obstruction must be overcome by necessity & reason. Cannabis has been on this planet for 35 million years. If there were any real dangers associated with the plant we would have some record of it by now. There is none. </p>
<p style="color: #54595f; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">Please help eliminate arbitrary & capricious bureaucratic limitations being imposed on the one crop that can do what most needs to be done.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Several years ago, I gave my book “Cannabis vs. Climate Change” to your administrative assistant, Ree Armitage. I have not yet heard whether you have received it or not. A full explanation of this rationale can be found there. (6)</span></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Thank you for all you’ve done for Oregon & the United States of America. I truly appreciate your service & great works.</span></p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Expanded reasoning:</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">None of us have ever known truly “free market economy.” The world’s most valuable, god-given agricultural resource has been banned and its market potential suppressed for 85 years. To initiate a truly free agricultural market before this Spring planting season is a matter of urgent National Security.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">You are probably already aware that during times of responsible, coordinated emergency preparedness (as we are surely experiencing now) Cannabis “hemp” has been federally recognized, in seven Presidential Executive Orders, as a “strategic food resource” since 1942; available by “essential civilian demand” (EO 13603, EO 12919, CFR 44, etc). </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Arbitrary, extinctionistic, THC limits on industrial hemp are crippling Earth-healing, “Gaiatherapeutic” industry, undermining Oregon’s food & energy security & environmental integrity. Will you please consider joining us in immediate exercise of “essential civilian demand” before Spring 2022, so we don’t miss another growing season?</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I live in Ashland with my teenaged son. I have worked internationally, participating in the Cannabis industry for more than 30 years. </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">In addition to the exercise of “essential military and civilian demand” for hemp, there are other equally urgent matters I feel it is my patriotic duty to comment upon in clear & unrestrained public discourse, while it is still possible.</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Vaxx Mandates</p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I’ve voted as a Democrat for decades, but I am leaving the party because of vaxx mandates.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I feel it is in the best interest of everyone to be totally candid regarding what we’ve all just been through.

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">My perspective is that we were all born into a dysfunctional system and we’re just trying to make the best of it. But the dysfunction and imbalance continues to get worse. Rather than blame someone for what’s happening I think it more productive to be honest about the fundamental flaws we have all been forced to perpetuate, often against our will. Specifically, I’m referring to mankind‘s addiction to fossil fuels. </p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 13.1px;"><br /></p>
<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is simply ignorant to think continued investment in toxic industries is acceptable. No matter what we have to regard fossil fuels as poison and illuminate them from the global market true development of clean energy alternatives.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Fortunately for us a biogenic alternative exists. The solution to Climate Change environmental degradation and food insecurity and endless war. A solution exists but it’s not being recognized for its true value. Even though it’s been Federally recognized as a “strategic resource” it’s not been treated as critical to national security, which it is. </p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I am asking you to help me help you help everyone. The precedent for essential civilian demand was initially set by “essential military demand” during World War II. In 1942 the war department insisted that President Roosevelt re-introduce hemp agriculture back into American rotations for the war effort. Then is now Cannabis is a strategic resource. Today the enemy is irreversible systemic collapse of environment economics in the social order. President Obama signed executive order 13 603 in March 2012. In that order as in six other presidential executive orders having to do with emergency preparedness hemp was recognized as a strategic resource. What’s notable in Obama‘s executive order is that essential military and civilian demand are referenced as an accelerated federal protocol for coordinated mobilization and access to those strategic resources. In consideration of national security and global integrity. I am asking you to help me initiate Essential military and civilian demand. Through cooperative efforts we can achieve energy independence and food security whereas now we are both food insecure and energy addicted to foreign imports. Illuminating THC limits on industrial hemp will allow for the scale of production necessary to produce all of our energy needs through biodigestion Avenue hemp stocks. Cellulosic hydrogen biodigested from hemp stocks is the most efficient way to turn sunlight into usable energy for the greatest number of people in the shortest span of time. The truth is if we couldn’t use cannabis hemp for one thing we still have to grow its rich environmental services. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Cannabis is the<b> only</b> crop that produces the volume of atmospheric Aerosol Terpenes needed to block the solar UV-B radiation, that’s increasing. Unless mankind recognizes the deadly threat of “UV-Broiling” in time to mitigate harms resulting from the loss terpenes, the window of opportunity will close on our ability to make a difference. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Time is the only thing we can’t make more of. Time is the unknown factor. We don’t khow how much time we have left to affect healing of earths atmosphere soil water air and wildlife. But we must begin. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I gave a copy of my book, “Cannabis vs. Climate Change” to your assistant, Ree Armitage, several years ago. I’ve not heard whether you have read my book or understand the relationship between hemp agriculture and climate change.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I trust that great leaders such as yourself will follow good advice.

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I am asking your help in initiating “essential military demand” by repurposing the military to distribute hempseed throughout Oregon and the rest of the United States, and the rest of the world; so that all may avail themselves of the essential nutrition and clean energy that is yielded from the SAME organic hemp harvest. Hemp is unique in this!</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">At the same time carbon credits, oxygen credits and atmospheric aerosol terpenes credits must be built into the economic structures so that hemp can compete on a level playing field, against toxic resources currently occupying positions of dominance in the market.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">At the moment, the multi-trillion dollar hemp industry and the thousands of meaningful jobs it could generate, are being suppressed by “The Great Lie of 1937”; that THC is “bad” for the human body. Arbitrary THC limits on industrial hemp are a threat to national security because they inhibit responsible, “strategic,” emergency preparedness.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">It is in the best interest of our country to invite a free agricultural market, inclusive of Cannabis hemp. Multi-trillion dollar opportunities exist in coordinating agriculture, manufacturing, processing and distribution of Cannabis-based fuels, food, fiber products, tree-free paper, vegan animal feeds, biodegradable plastics, safe & effective herbal therapeutics, superior super-capacitor graphene energy-storage material, hempcrete, hemp wood, resins, paints & varnishes, biogenic pesticides, and many many many more valuable commodities. </p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">The truth is, if we couldn’t make one thing out of Cannabis we’d still have to grow it for environmental services, everywhere we can, as fast as we can and just pray that it’s not too late to heal Earth’s atmosphere.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Soldiers are the ones called to fight wars-for-oil. When it becomes common knowledge throughout the world that there is an available, inexpensive, “Gaiatherapeutic” alternative to fossil fuels, then soldiers will no longer have to sacrifice themselves in unnecessary, Gaiacidal, geopolitical struggles for unevenly distributed, toxic, finite energy resources. The military can & must be repurposed to distribute & plant hemp. Time is running out. We don’t have time to fight amongst ourselves. We must cooperate globally to heal our Mother Earth.</p>

<p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">While soldiers occupy the military, their children & extended families are civilian. It is in the best interest of the soldiers’ families to provide for our national security of their families, by initiating Cannabis agriculture in every region of the country.

I would just ask that the recent Department of Agriculture announcement assigning $1 billion to development of climate agriculture be applied to cannabis agriculture in recognition of the unique and essential environmental services Cannabis offers this country and other countries throughout the world. </p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">I trust that you will help to initiate “essential military and civilian demand” before the Spring planting season of 2022 which is upon us.

But he made no effort subsequently to investigate this critical threat to national security any further. I feel that our demand is legitimate and urgently essential. It is everyone’s responsibility to provide food security and environmental healing for themselves and their families.. Please meet with me to discuss what we must do to avert and unthinkable future for everyone’s children.</p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;">Thank you for your consideration I look forward to hearing from you soon.</p>

<p style="color: #333333; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px 0px 16px;">“The increasing physical effects of climate change are likely to exacerbate domestic and cross-border geopolitical flashpoints producing additional instability. The reduction in sea ice already is amplifying strategic competition in the Arctic over access to its natural resources and shipping routes. Elsewhere, as temperatures rise and more extreme effects manifest, there is a growing risk of conflict over water and migration, particularly after 2030, and an increasing chance that countries will unilaterally test and deploy large-scale solar geoengineering—creating a new area of disputes.”</p>

For those who may feel discomfort at the thought of there being only one way to fix all of the things that are broken, I suggest trying to be more grateful that there is a way that may still work, if it’s implemented in time. Because of feedback loops associated with rapidly disappearing boreal forests & marine phytoplankton, the window of opportunity for mankind having a meaningful effect is closing at an accelerating rate.</p><p>Time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. "Non-linear extinction level events" threaten our moment to moment existence, and the future of everyone’s children. Uniting behind a solution is all that’s need3d, but it’s needed now. The ecosystem is collapsing. Irreversible systemic collapse is inevitable if humans don’t recognize the true, essential, "strategic" & sacred values of Cannabis - both "industrial hemp" and "marijuana," feral hybrids & ancient heirloom landrace varieties.</p><p>Mankind’s first priority in the process of healing Earth’s atmosphere is to replenish the stratosphere with atmospheric aerosol terpenes. Terpenes block increasing solar UV-B radiation. The same field yields complete nutrition, herbal therapeutics, building materials and clean, carbon-negative energy, all from the same harvest.</p><p>Cannabis is mankind’s functional interface with the Natural Order. The amount of time it takes for people to understand why that’s true will determine the chances for everyone’s children's quality of life over the coming difficult years of environmental, economic & social upheaval. The sooner we implement a Cannabis-inclusive, truly free market, the better life will be for our kids & all of the other creatures with whom we share the Earth. Mankind has always been far beyond our rightful authority in legislating scarcity of an unique and essential natural resource upon which other species also depend for their survival. </p><p>If we are successful in sequestering carbon out of the atmosphere without first replenish the stratosphere with terpenes, we will broil the Earth to extinction. Atmospheric carbon shades the Earth. Without the volume of terpenes historically produced by the boreal forests and marine phytoplankton, and the "global dimming" effect of the CO2, "Global Broiling” by UV-B will cauterize the surface of the planet. </p><p>To transcend obsolete institutional structures imposing dysfunction poverty, racism disparity & toxicity on our society is </p><p><br /></p><p>It is critically important that people all over the world are given Cannabis seeds in order to grow everything they need on a regional scale. </p>projectpeacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15994176630788673836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255691539873116581.post-19217093091915495822020-11-28T09:39:00.001-08:002021-02-02T07:06:13.356-08:00Cannabis vs. Climate Change Crowdfunding Campaign<p>Everyone is invited to help pioneer mankind’s transition from toxic fossil fuels & nuclear energy, to Gaiatherapeutic cellulosic hydrogen, biodigested from organic Cannabis stalks. </p><p>All money will be used to construct a demonstration project at our regenerative organic farm in Southern Oregon.

<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Eighty-three years after marijuana prohibition crippled US hemp agriculture, Cannabis has finally been recognized as "essential" in the midst of a global pandemic. This Spring, growing Cannabis for food, fuel & herbal therapeutics takes emergency preparedness precedence over baseless concerns regarding THC content of hemp. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 11pt;">Organic, non-GMO Cannabis agriculture must be encouraged by eliminating THC limits on industrial hemp, a federally recognized "strategic resource." Energy production, Gaiatherapeutic industry, & food security are every nation's first priority. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14.7px;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">Cannabis processing infrastructure must be constructed using part of the 2 trillion dollar COVID bail-out, in anticipation of the 2020 harvest. These two actions must happen immediately, before the hemp seed hits the ground. Farmers will not plant if they are threatened with having their crops destroyed for testing above the absurdly-low .3% limit.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">Spring planting season 2020 finds the world writhing in the grip of a global chaos. In my opinion, at their foundations most of our environmental, economic & social conflicts are caused by prolonged, imposed essential resource scarcity. As a result, forests were cut to make toilet paper, terpene deficiencies in Earth's atmosphere allow more UVB through Earth’s atmosphere, compared with concentrations of aerosol terpenes seventy years ago. Global Broiling is cooking the planet in ways most people aren’t aware of.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">It did not have to go this way. It is truly shameful how far my generation has allowed blatant attacks on democracy and the Rule of Law to advance. Our children will suffer the worst of what we’ve created, unless we act now.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">The 'good news' is, there is something we can do about the systemic dysfunction that afflicts our collective, extinctionistic trajectory: We must demand that government eliminate the THC limits on industrial hemp.There is nothing about THC that is more dangerous than UV-B radiation. There is nothing more dangerous about THC than there is about COVID virus and other biopathogens circulating throughout Earth’s hydrologic cycle.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">If THC levels are eliminated in time, America could recover social balance in time to eject a traitorous, pseudo-president from office.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">Extremes of death, illness despair and sadness swirl around the planet. Fear is as epidemic a the virus itself. People are vibrating at fevered pitch, audible in the quivering voices of news anchors, forced to recite escalating casualty figures & dire warnings, day in & day out. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">The FACT that Cannabis produces sustainable biofuels AND complete nutrition, FROM THE SAME HARVEST, ought to ring a bell for anyone who understands the need to grow energy without inducing food insecurity & malnutrition. Cannabis is unique in that. And essential. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">Funny that, in the midst of a pandemic, marijuana dispensaries have been deemed "essential" businesses here in Oregon. I've been writing it for so long, I'd given up hoping that anyone would ever recognize the truth In it. There’s much more to it though.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">When people realize the fuel potential in Cannabis, by investing in hemp as a biofuels feedstock for making cellulosic hydrogen, electricity & supercapacitors, fossil fuels stocks will plummet over-night. That’s why there’s so much intentional dysfunction. The longer people are distracted by cognitive dissonance, the more fossil fuels we consume. As soon as we recognize the true essential value of Cannabis, we can begin to evolve toward agricultural abundance supplying Gaiatherapeutic industry.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">Cannabis agriculture connects the healing of Earth's atmosphere to our energy consumption. Energy production is the driving force of human economics, but it doesn’t have to be harmful to the Natural Order. If we make energy from an organic, non-GMO plant, that heals Earth’s atmosphere, water & soil, then consumption becomes healthy for people, animals, and the Earth itself.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.1px;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">People have to decide whether they are more worried about THC or global extinction. Those are the choices. Unless we plant hemp everywhere we can this Spring, to produce fuel, food, fiber, & herbal therapeutics, then the chaos that ensues will, at some point, become irreversible, if it is not already.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;">We have to assume it’s not too late to recover balance, in full understanding that time is the limiting factor in the equation of survival. Our window of opportunity is closing at an accelerating rate. </span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Cannabis agriculture is mankind's functional interface with the Earth’s Natural Order.</span><span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 11pt;"> The sooner we recognize that, the better our children’s chances will be for a livable future.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-family: Helvetica-Oblique; font-size: 12pt; font-style: italic;"><b>"For a long time I have been concerned with...how our main economic measures failed to take into account environmental degradation and resource depletion. If...growth is not sustainable because we are destroying the environment...our statistics should warn us. But because GDP [Gross Domestic Product] didn’t include resource depletion and environmental degradation, we typically get an excessively rosy picture." </b></span><br />
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">~ Joseph E Stiglitz (1)</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">Humanity has failed to realistically assess the long-term, functional importance of integrated natural systems. Bingeing on environmental toxins, mankind has been ignoring the Laws of Nature in order to make more money for the past 100 years. Moral detachment from responsible respect for Nature, the quality of life on Earth for future generations is a corporate afterthought, typically dismissed as being too costly for meaningful concern.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">It would cost trillions of dollars for our largest industries to be environmentally responsible. Accounting for clean air, unpolluted water & uncontaminated soil would make several major industries unprofitable or obsolete. "Political reality" serves the cult of toxic industrialism, supplanting ancient traditions of stewardship for the Earth. Future generations have been forgotten in the cypher of progress, abandoned in pursuit of immediate profit at any cost.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Over time, chemical industrialism has proven to be inherently unsustainable. After decades of poisoning Earth’s atmosphere, water, air & soil, we are finally forced to admit we are facing extinction. Foundering in chemical and radioactive waste, we can no longer ignore or deny that fundamental changes must happen, now. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Motivated by GDP and industry’s insatiable desire to control unevenly distributed, toxic energy resources, radical disintegration of the Natural Order is leading to global extinction. Ignoring the primary importance of Nature's integrated systems, mankind continues to consume toxins with little or no regard for the predictable result. Humanity is in the initial stages of systems disintegration right now. The point at which irreversible systemic collapse becomes unavoidable will be reached in our lifetimes, if it hasn’t been already.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">The good news is that Cannabis hemp agriculture offers several unique and essential properties, necessary for repairing Earth's systemic equilibrium. Most importantly, hemp is the most efficient, globally distributed crop there is, for turning sunlight into usable energy.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">So-called "unquantifiable externalities" are the immeasurable, priceless things we can’t hang a price tag on. Quality of life, pure air, clean water & rich soil are universally valued, mostly in an abstract, often spiritual sense, but not in a corporate, numerical way. Since they can’t be assigned a number value, unquantifiables are routinely left out of the resource exploitation equation. </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Inevitably, the real price of industrial profit is eventually paid by people and animals downstream, geographically & chronologically. Generations that follow ours are heading toward degenerative health, a degraded environment, and violent collapse of the human social order, unless we act in a time-efficient, globally coordinated campaign of organic, non-GMO agriculture, immediately. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">The Spring planting season of 2020 is precious beyond measure. We don’t know how many growing seasons we have left before "cascading systems failures" and "non-linear extinction level events" become irreversible. (2) Indicator-species populations have been crashing for decades. Yet humans continue to consume toxic, Gaiacidal resources degrading Earth’s environment, as though there were no alternatives. There are many things that can be done to heal the planet; but, there is only one plant possessing all of the properties necessary for doing everything that needs to be done, in the time we may have left to make a difference.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Cannabis hemp is uniquely qualified to replace fossil fuels and nuclear energy. Hemp simultaneously replenishes Earth’s atmosphere with oxygen & solar-protective terpenes, (3) sequesters carbon, feeds the world, ends economic disparity, expands the arable base, and purifies the hydrologic cycle. At the same time, Cannabis heals our bodies and calms our minds. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">A crop so useful and beneficial sounds too good to be true, making it especially difficult to talk about after eight decades of "drug war" propaganda. Whether our species is capable of making the requisite shift in value from "illegal" to essential remains to be seen. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">The so-called "political reality" we’re presently slugging our way through can be characterized as "Cannabis is valuable but, (despite decades of gold standard science to the contrary) THC is still "dangerous" enough to require government oversight & regulation." Because the lies of "Reefer Madness" persist, the scale of production is being suppressed, and availability is being constricted. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">As awareness grows about the unique & essential environmental services of Cannabis, a truly free market will eventually evolve infrastructural changes, in response to the influence of clean, inexpensive, hemp-based fuels. The most time efficient, globally distributed & cost-effective means of providing energy to billions of people, while healing the Earth, is in the stalk of the hemp plant.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: #fef9f5; color: #121212; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Since Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition and sustainable biofuels from the same harvest, food security, nutrition & herbal therapeutic availability are vastly improved. The cellulose-rich stalks are harvested and biodigested to produce hydrogen, powering electrical generation. The seeds & leaves provide proteins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and more.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">Expansion of the arable base using a non-invasive "pioneer" crop, that produces complete nutrition for man & animals; and sustainable energy, as it heals the air, water & soil; is essential in order to increase the carrying capacity of this planet. Unless this is done soon, population displacement and species extinction will continue to get worse.</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 12pt;">All nations must coordinate a global agricultural campaign, repurposing their military forces from armies to farmers. The mission is to plant Cannabis in every soil & climate condition to which it may be able to adapt. That would be the most logical way to achieve balanced atmospheric conditions, and essential resource distribution in the shortest span of time possible.</span></div>

Terpenes have been a point of interest for me since 1997, when I was introduced to Cannabis terpenes by my friend Vito Mediavilla, eminent research scientist at the Swiss Federal Research Station near Bern.<br />
<br />
Since then I learned about the physical dynamic of terpenes, that rise into the atmosphere, where they perform several critically important environmental services.<br />
<br />
As they ascend into the stratosphere, terpenes reflect solar UV-B radiation away from the planet and serve as cloud condensation nuclei, forming "bright and persistent clouds." (3)<br />
<br />
As a component of the hydrologic cycle, terpenes may play an increasingly significant role in purifying water of pathogens, that may be increasing as the concentration of terpenes is reduced by deforestation and death of marine phytoplankton.<br />
<br />
"Pentacyclic triterpenes such as β-amyrin and cycloartenol have been shown to possess numerous biological activities including anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties (Vázquez et al., 2012; Moses et al., 2013). These triterpenes are key contributors to the pharmacological properties of numerous medicinal herbs (Kirby et al., 2008; Yadav et al., 2010; Sawai and Saito, 2011)." (2)<br />
<br />
Now, think about how...<br />
<br />
"From 2012 to 2015, pathogenic versions of the fungus Candida auris arose independently in Africa, Asia and South America. The versions are from the same species, yet they are genetically distinct, so the spread across continents couldn’t have been caused by infected travelers, says Arturo Casadevall of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health." (1)<br />
<br />
"Since mid-2016, when reporting of C. auris infections began in the United States, there have been nearly 700 cases confirmed in 12 states, with deadly outbreaks occurring among patients in hospitals and other health care facilities. More than 30 countries around the world have also reported cases. The fungus causes dangerous infections of the blood, brain, heart and other parts of the body. Studies show that an invasive infection can be fatal 30 to 60 percent of the time. And some infections are resistant to all available antifungal medications." (1)<br />
<br />
"Meanwhile, other fungi are wreaking destruction on many animals and plants, including frogs (SN: 4/27/19, p. 5), snakes (SN: 1/20/18, p. 16) and trees (SN: 5/3/03, p. 282). “A lot of our fellow creatures are being wiped out,” Casadevall says. And while mammals have tended to be “remarkably resistant to invasive fungal diseases,” he says, bats have been hit hard by outbreaks of a fungus that causes white nose syndrome in part because their body temperature drops during hibernation (SN Online: 7/15/19)." (1)<br />
<br />
Recently it was reported that "An astonishing number of viruses are circulating around the Earth's atmosphere -- and falling from it" (4)<br />
<br />
It seems to me that there is an urgent necessity of replenishing the Earth's atmosphere with terpenes, largely overlooked by those people concerned with climate change. #Cannabis #hemp is being revealed as a "Gaiatherapeutic" remedy needed to heal Earth's atmosphere of immune suppressive, Earth-broiling UV-B radiation, and airborne bio-pathogens.<br />
<br />
How long will it take to conduct the global conversation that’s needed to heal this planet and human society?<br />

It is too early in the morning, again. I awaken to the gentle sound of my son's quiet breathing. I wonder what I can do to be a better father. At home and in school he's doing great. He is healthy, happy, well-nourished, nurtured, loved and provided for. It is his future and the future of all children that continues to concern me.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
Increasingly pervasive systemic imbalance, is suspended above every child's head. This awareness invades my sleep almost every morning. Observing the day-to-day transition of Cannabis value, from "illegal" to essential, it is as if a virus of ignorance has come to dominate our social evolution. If "Reefer Madness" was the wound, that threatens to terminate our existence on this planet, then the initiative process that obstructs timely progress to finally, completely and immediately ending prohibition is like a lingering, systemic infection disguised as a remedy, that will not go away.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Almost every measure of environmental, economic and social systemic health & balance, reveals degeneration into an unthinkable future for our children and grandchildren. In the face of imminent extinction we continue to accept essential resource scarcity, inflicted by successive outlaw regimes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In spite of the fact that the contemporary Cannabis culture has had ample time and opportunity to become aware of and communicate the true value of Cannabis, very few of the people who work for ending prohibition will acknowledge that "hemp" is federally recognized as a "strategic resource" in seven Executive Orders, signed by Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Very few people working to end prohibition seem to appreciate the legal significance of Cannabis as an essential, "herb bearing seed." None seem to take seriously the many inarguable differences between drugs and herbs; and that failure to distinguish between drugs and herbs has rendered Cannabis laws "void for vagueness." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though hundreds of millions of dollars have been wasted on attorney fees, few people who have been busted for pot seem willing to stand-up and speak for themselves in court. Very few of the wealthy pot growers and medical marijuana moguls who are making bank slinging herb are willing to fund time-efficient strategies for ending marijuana prohibition completely and immediately.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All it would take is one 'pro se' class-action lawsuit, challenging the rightful jurisdiction of any court over any "herb bearing seed" to end all plant prohibitions. By now, only liars and fools fail to acknowledge that the "war on drugs" is counter-productive to its own stated objectives. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Considered for its multi-level strata of lessons to be gleaned, all rational, analytical analyses of prohibition reveals evermore profound level of disfunction. Once prohibition is finally ended, and all "drug war dinoswhores" either die or retire, open, objective retrospective analyses will reveal prohibition as a prolonged, incomprehensibly lucrative ruse, an obscene exaggeration of an intentionally failed, fiscally insane, malicious government policy. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Like income taxes. When people spend money they pay excise taxes, at the cash register. no personal accounting is required. The business owner's computer automatically separates tax from gross income and the government winds up with its share. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As it is, every year, countless hours of precious personal life, professional productivity, healing relaxation, home chores and priceless family time, are wasted on forced accounting. More time and money are wasted on audits, court battles, tax legislating, administration and other spin-off activities related to taxation of income.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Problems are profitable for people selling expensive solutions that don't work. Prohibition and income taxation are the two most overtly illegal activities of our government. As long as either of them remains, we will be neither free nor strong enough to oppose criminality at every level of society. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Failing to recognize the inherent criminality of prohibition, and the intentionally inefficient and publicly disempowering effects of income taxation, requires a level of denial that completely obliterates reality. To date, both primitive, inefficient, wasteful societal afflictions have, in tandem, effectively disappeared the backbone of entire generations. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Having defended myself in federal court twice, and testified on the record in many others, I can report first-hand that there is no power greater than the truth, plainly spoken. The Department of Commerce and the IRS have been presented with the limit of law, and retreated. Individuals have rights that organized groups do not. The collective power of each person's immutable, natural, god-given rights is unconquerable. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The evolution of revolution is revaluation. Thinking "outside the bong" reveals the true value of Cannabis as an essential "strategic resource" for several inarguable reasons. The fact that Cannabis is the only crop that provides complete nutrition, and sustainable biofuels from the same harvest, makes "hemp" mankind's functional interface with the Natural Order. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are several other properties of Cannabis that make it both unique and essential to mankind's existence on this planet. Since humans have cut down half of the boreal forests to make paper (that could have been made better, cheaper, and with less pollution ("BeCAWLeP") from hemp); And killed half of the marine phytoplankton that used to emit atmospheric aerosols that shield the Earth from the Sun; Cannabis now essential for the timely production of stratosphere aerosols, called "terpenes" that reflect solar UV-B radiation away from he planet, and "seed" cloud formation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are several effects of atmospheric terpene production that can be logically assumed. Purification of Earth's hydrologic cycle by atmospheric terpenes seems too obvious to doubt. Redistribution of moisture in the atmosphere is another likely effect of biogenic terpene production. Changing atmospheric concentrations, and global distribution of terpenes from historic levels and patterns can be expected to have proportionate global effects on the systemic integrity and homeostatic balance of Earth's Natural Order.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Without exaggeration, it is easy to predict with a high degree of certainty, cascading, compounding, catastrophic results of continued Cannabis prohibition. Only a population stunned by fear and denial would allow their children to be sacrificed to extinction, while paying taxes to an oppressive, criminal, prohibitionist regime.</div>
<div>
It does not take a voter initiative to conclude that the immediate judicial review and release of all "Green Prisoners" is an urgent priority. It does not take a vote to determine that all strains of Cannabis possess nutraceutical, uniquely effective, endogenously therapeutic properties, with unparalleled safety. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What court has rightful jurisdiction over your endogenous cannabinoid system? What court has the right to impose essential resource scarcity? The only thing that keeps prohibition from endings the unwillingness of the contemporary Cannabis culture to legitimize itself as the world's most ancient global culture. "Permits? We don't need no stinking' permits!"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If the grassroots Cannabis movement ever manages to get its head out of its ass, and direct funding to "essential civilian demand" for Cannabis, then future generations may have a shot at recovering environmental balance, and achieving symbiotic relationship with the Earth. If we continue to be misled into wagering our freedom on a popular vote to beg for flawed, incremental "propositions" ten we will continue to be misdirected into subservience to the monied elite.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The oxymoronic "drug policy reform establishment" has been successful in leading the grassroots by our trusting, easily distracted noses, pitching the end of prohibition as something far, far away. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, if you are grass-fed-up with "bleating around the bush"; if the ego-rush of your "freedom to complain" has peaked and you're looking for the real deal, then remember what Frederick Douglass pointed-out way back in 1857, before the last Civil War: "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never has and it never will."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Essential civilian demand" for a "strategic" "herb" "of first necessity to the wealth and protection of country" and planet, recognizes 'time' as the limiting factor in the equation of survival. There so time or sane reason left for a popular vote. WAKE UP! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
No, really!!! WAKE UP to the true, essential value of Cannabis! Hemp is valuable beyond the right jurisdiction of any court! If you have an extra dollar to invest in our children's future, then please help me help you help everyone. I apologize for asking, I understand money is tight, but time is running out. There is no money on a UV-Broiled planet. As long as the illusion of value continues to color the mass illusion of the majority, we have a chance to use the existing economic structure to effect meaningful change. As values shift, society will become more chaotic. Before the machine breaks down completely, and ubiquitous violence becomes unstoppable, we must direct coordinated essential demand, using all existing infrastructure to implement a massive global campaign of cultivation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cannabis plays an analogous role in maintaining the health of the Earth, as it does with each individual's personal well-being. Because mankind's industry has had such a huge, detrimental effect on the Earth, it is hopeful to realize that we could have as great a beneficial influence, were we to consciously coordinate the transformation of armies to "farmies." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hemp is exceptional in being a non-invasive, pioneer crop. There is no better choice than hemp for expansion of the arable base. Since Cannabis terpenes nucleate bright and persistent clouds, it can be said with some confidence that hemp participates in making its own rain. As feed and cover for wildlife, there is no better choice than hemp. As a seasonal wind-break, as a healthful source of entheogenics, euphorics, holistic nutrition and Gaiatherapeutic industrial feedstock, there is nothing that even comes close to Cannabis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Is it really necessary to argue this in court? Are we that primitive we cannot see how technology has limited our ability to "think outside the bong" about Cannabis? The only crop that produces both edestin and albumin proteins is beyond value on a planet whose fish are dying, whose ruminant meat animals generate significant quantities of greenhouse gasses, as beef processing consumes thousands of gallons per pound of protein, and pollutes the water with antibiotics.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are several obvious dissimilarities that prevent a "strategic" "herb bearing seed" from being reasonably confused with a "Schedule One drug." It is stunning to realize that in the 21st Century, the contemporary Cannabis culture is willing to accept the wrongful jurisdiction of outlaw courts erecting economic barriers to Justice. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Whatever objective judicial oversight there may be, is needed to responsibly address the obvious, fundamental discrepancies between drugs and herbs. Obviously, drugs don't make seeds. Herbs do. Herbs also proved innumerable benefits to the Earth, to people, and to the animals with whom we share this planet. Mankind is far beyond its rightful authority in legislating scarcity of an unique and essential herb that other creatures also depend upon for their survival.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is impossible to conceive of how many ways man's thoughtless disregard for Nature has resulted in a litany of unspeakable cruelties, inflicted on billions of our fellow-human beings; to say nothing of our species' complete, immoral disregard of the other creatures whom we are rudely crowding off of this planet. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There is perhaps no greater extreme of injustice than humanity's murderous cruelty and disrespect of Cetacean species. Whales and dolphins are certainly mankind's vastly under-appreciated Masters of Evolution. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The most urgent lesson humans have to learn, in order for all species to survive, is the thirty-five million-year-old economic system of the Cetaceans, succinctly described as "Dolphin Economics." Based in unlimited natural abundance, Dolphin Economics can be summed up as, "You help me help you help everyone." It is the foundation of peace. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Fortunately for us, Cetacean species are non-violent. Imagine if dolphins and whales were as voracious and aggressive as sharks, cruel as corporate gangsters and misanthropic as a prohibition-drunk, steroid-inflated, rogue police force, both of which are becoming increasingly common these days.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cannabis agriculture is unique in its realistic potential to serve as a proportionate, global remedy. Because Cannabis is adaptable, capable of growing in a wide variety of soil and climate conditions, it affords the possibility of rapid, global abundance, on a purposeful scale never seen before. At this pivotal time in human history, our planet has never been more in need of a healing, herbal global remedy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The national security of every country depends on systemic global integrity. Cannabis is unique and essential in providing multiple levels of healing, beginning this Spring planting season. Any person who has questions or concerns about how and why the absolute transition of Cannabis value needs to happen immediately, is invited to inquire.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
What it comes down to is that over the long-haul of evolution, knowledge is of limited value in the absence of respect. Nature demands our full and immediate respect. That is why we have the inalienable right to demand full, immediate access to Nature. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cannabis is an herb, not a drug. Making a "forbidden fruit" of marijuana only makes it more popular with naturally rebellious young people; and more dangerous, more violent, and more expensive on the black market. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every problem anyone may have had with marijuana happened in the context of the "drug war." Counter-productive to its own stated objectives, the "war on herbs" has resulted in a hard-drugs epidemic exploding parallel with and analogous to mankind's consumption of toxic, unevenly distributed, industrial substitutes. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Endless wars" are an inevitable consequence of the perverse "drug war" against plants. A vicious cash cow stampedes through the China shop of evolution, funding a run-away bureaucracy, reefer-mad and punch-drunk on its own self-serving opulence. What are the salaries associated with prohibition-related industries? That is the first place to look for funding of a massive global, biodynamic agricultural campaign, to expand the arable base. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every possible effort must be made to plant Cannabis on a scale intended to replace the volume of terpenes lost with the catastrophic deaths of the boreal forest and marine phytoplankton. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There are also considerable environmental costs of prohibition to consider, characterized as "ecological disaster" by those who understand the dynamics of the failed drug war. The chemical-military-industrial footprint of Cannabis prohibition is insidious. When I think about the pervasive interface, throughout our society that prolonged, imposed essential resource scarcity has imposed, it is like an ugly stain spreading across the breadth of human morals and values, determining the unsavory character of our social evolution.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
People are dying from viral ignorance, that has infected human governance. Corrupted values, disrespecting Nature, have been steering human social evolution toward foreseeable extinction, since before we were born. The inevitable consequence of a poor choice, based in a lie, irreversible systemic collapse has started. Unless there is a major shift in human values, we will run out of time sooner than we expect. Time is the only thing we can't make more of. We must recognize how irreplaceably valuable each and every single growing season is.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There seems to be something wrong. Perhaps I am mistaken, but a virus of ignorance is apparently spreading throughout the land. I see the world squawking nonsense about Cannabis laws, taxation and voter initiatives and wonder at the absurdity of a mad society spiraling our hospice planet into critical dysfunction. I read about epidemic breakdown of integrated systems, hear the IPCC warnings of "cascading system failures" within which humans have chosen the darkest possible role. Our fellow endogenous Earthlings are ill, dying and disappearing at unprecedented rates, crowded, hunted, and polluted off the breast of our common Mother, who feeds us all.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Corrupted human values, elevating toxic chemicals over healing herbs, favors corrupted political leadership. Instead of nursing with gratitude and respect for our Mother Planet, humankind has turned parasitic, feeding on toxins, fouling the source of our existence with poisonous industrial effluent.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Antiquated, inefficient and misanthropic, the morally-unaccountable influence of toxin-based corporate wealth confounds a foundation of Justice, insulting Reason. Human social evolution has been recklessly drunk on Gaiacidal industry, armed aggression and other industries potentiated by essential resource scarcity. Profitable feedback loops have been institutionalized by people who profit from their disregard for the future, or the suffering of others. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As it is, instead of basing our economics on Gaiatherapeutic, globally-distributed agricultural abundance, mankind has been shackled to the economics of scarcity. The limited thinking that scarcity affords, has been achieved by a simple, though very great lie, that can be defeated by a simple, much larger, abiding truth. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The great lie of "Reefer Madness" that lingers with us still (like a bad smell), is that Cannabis is an "evil weed." The lie is more than merely false. It is obviously contrary to what is true. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In fact, Cannabis is mankind's functional interface within the integrated systems of the Natural Order. Cannabis offers our species a way to achieve symbiotic relationship within the complex matrix of long-term, living interrelationship that defines and determines sustainable existence. Humans require Cannabis is proved by the present threat of global extinction. If Cannabis had never been banned, we would not be facing systemic collapse. Evolution demands that humans shift our collective values in a coordinated way to favor healing of the Earth. If we fail to achieve the degree of agricultural freedom necessary to heal the Earth in time to avert systemic collapse, our children and grand children will suffer the worst of an unthinkable future.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Voter initiatives are okay for deciding less critical issues, subject to decision by majority opinion. For matters of greater consequence and global significance, a different path must be taken. The present, tragic, insidious dysfunction is an untenable, inadequate, impotent response to the unprecedented threats we face.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sean Parker's celebrated support financial support for AUMA has in some people's thinking, legitimized a brazenly anti-Constitutional initiative that violates the First Amendment. No matter who spends what on whatever nonsense is passed-off, under color of law, as a legitimate voter initiative, the fact remains that our freedom to farm "every herb bearing seed" is the first test of religious freedom. The First Amendment is the only law needed to reclaim rightful jurisdiction over "every green herb." Since drugs don't make seeds, it is a simple matter to tell them apart.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The legal distinction between drugs and herbs is foundational to the integrity of our system of Justice. What rightful authority is there in imposing essential resource scarcity? How can a democratic government claim to serve the "free market economy" when a federally-recognized as "strategic" industrial crop has been banned for almost eighty years? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Radical economic disparity, results from uneven distribution of essential resources. If everyone was to have what they need in their own bio region, then there would be much greater efficiency from production to consumption. The ecological footprint of man could be a positive one, if we were to work with all of Nature's creatures, with particular attention to our long-abused and neglected, sacred plant princess, the ancient, mythical diva we call Cannabis. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The challenge is simply to overcome control over public media, afforded by economic manipulatin, skewing the flow of information. The violent bent of human social evolution occurring today, is symptomatic of the illness afflicting the counter-productive, dominant political regime in the U.S.. Only a very sick country would violate its own Constitution. In a world of instantaneous, global electronic communication, the antidote to mis-leadership is as simple as it s fundamental. Now that the truth is available, there remains the task of letting people know where to look. I trust everyone who 'like's what I post on Facebook, and other social media sites, will share this view of where we all are, in the trajectory we're co-creating. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Beginning in March 2016, the secular, individual California Cannabis Ministry, will be continuing Project P.E.A.C.E.. By documenting public support for "essential civilian demand " Between the Dreams Productions will continue to advance society toward the inevitable, necessary polar shift in values from "illegal" to essential. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the Hemp Road once again, on the Great Pacific Northwest Biodiesel Book Tour of Spring 2016. Cannabis information, instruction, products, books, DVDs and live, a wealth of international, on the road interviews will be available for screening to the public. This will be the twenty-fifth year of Project P.E.A.C.E., the purpose of which has been to shift Cannabis values from "illegal" to essential, in time to avert systemic collapse. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyone who recognizes the urgency of coordinating grassroots civilian emergency preparedness, is invited to visit the blog of the California Cannabis Ministry where a PayPal button awaits your generous support for everyone's freedom. Please visit my YouTube and Vimeo channels, as well as my Facebook page to see what I have intended to serve as due diligence in the polar revaluation of Cannabis, from illegal to essential.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The digital video documentary of "Cannabis vs. Climate Change" is available for anyone who would like to have the ready access to ancient logic and reason in a form that is intended to serve as a legally valid argument. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you would care to have me testify in court, or otherwise present an holistic, biogenic, time-efficient, Cannabis-inclusive remedy for the global systemic imbalance we all face, please feel welcome to get in touch.</div>

There is much work to do before the Spring 2016 planting season, concurrent with infrastructural development needed before the Autumn hemp harvest.

The urgency of beginning could not be greater.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">I look forward to working with you, to implement a successful, proportionate, organic agricultural solution to many problems at once, with maximum priority assigned to normalization of Earth's atmospheric balance. In addition to climate change, health, economics, biofuels energy production, food security and nutrition are other areas of concern which will benefit enormously from immediate reintroduction of hemp on a meaningful scale.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">In my recent book entitled "Cannabis vs. Climate Change," I have attempted to explain several unique and essential benefits of hemp that make it valuable beyond the rightful jurisdiction of any court. In essence, Cannabis is mankind's functional interface within the Natural Order. Our freedom to farm hemp is necessary for mankind's industrial development to integrate seamlessly within the Earth's ancient, systemic balance.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Perhaps most significant is the influence of fragrant, atmospheric aerosols called "monoterpenes," exuded in abundance by Cannabis. In 2006, climate scientists announced that monoterpenes produced by the boreal forests and marine phytoplankton, refract solar UV-B radiation away from the surface of the planet and nucleate persistent cloud formation. By the time these geochemical relationships were understood, half of the forests and forty percent of the phytoplankton had already been killed. </span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Increasing solar UV-B ("global broiling") increases the solubility of mercury and arsenic. Increasing toxicity of Earth's hydrological system is analogous to blood poisoning. </span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Cannabis is the only crop that produces a sufficient volume of atmospheric monoterpenes needed to replenish what has been lost with the catastrophic deaths of the boreal forests and marine phytoplankton, in the time we may have left to make a difference. Anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-oxidizing and anti-biotic properties of terpenes may also play a role in enhancing and purifying the hydrologic cycle.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Cannabis seed is the world's best source of complete nutrition, an unique dietary "essential" that is required for normal growth and proper immune function. Essential proteins, essential fatty acids and essential amino acids required for proper growth and development, are not synthesized in the body. Cannabis seed contains all of these essential nutrients, and much more. Hemp is the best available source of edestin and albumen proteins, which are critical to immune function and many other processes and functions of the body.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Cannabis is the only agricultural crop that produces complete, essential nutrition and sustainable biofuels from the same harvest, eliminating the trade-off between biofuels energy production and food security. If our species is to overcome our addiction to fossil fuels, without impacting food production and nutrition, Cannabis is an essential crop for simultaneous food, biofuels and fiber production. </span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Cannabis is both unique and essential to expanding the world's arable base. A non-invasive pioneer crop, capable of regenerating depleted soils and remediating damaged lands, Cannabis is currently being used at Chernobyl to phytoremediate radioactively contaminated soils.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">"Drugs" don't make seeds; "herbs" do. They are not equivalent. Seeds are alive, drugs are not. We can grow complete, essential nutrition from herbs, not from drugs. We cannot grow biofuels from drugs; nor can we produce essential atmospheric aerosols from drugs. Only herbs can provide all of these critical environmental services.</span><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><br style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;" /><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px;">Proper definitions are the cornerstone of Justice, fundamental to making specific, legitimate distinctions.

Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition, sustainable energy and atmospheric monoterpenes from the same harvest. That simple truth makes Cannabis mankind's functional interface within the balanced systems of the Natural Order.<br />
<br />
'Time' is the only thing we can't make more of. Every growing season that passes without the benefits of Cannabis farming and gardening is an opportunity that is gone forever. That makes time the limiting-factor in the equation of human survival.<br />
<br />
Cannabis agriculture is immediately, critically essential to recovering global systemic integrity.<br />
The inevitability of irreversible systemic imbalance makes "hemp" too valuable to be within the rightful jurisdiction of any court.<br />
<br />
From a purely legal standpoint, Cannabis cannot be within the rightful jurisdiction of any court. Our freedom to farm "every herb bearing seed" is the first test of religious freedom.<br />
<br />
Inadequate, incremental legislation perpetuates the counter-productive, wrongfully usurped authority over a critically essential resource, by simple, disingenuous mischaracterization of an herb as a "drug." The lie we were born into is extended through treasonously corrupted mis-leadership, manipulating the multi-trillion dollar Cannabis market under color of law.<br />
<br />
Without Cannabis, our species is a parasite upon the Earth. Unless we actively mobilize to achieve symbiotic relationship with the living planet, our children will suffer the worst of an unthinkable future. If we fail to recognize and gain advantage from the critically essential "strategic" value of Cannabis, global systemic imbalance will continue to degenerate into chaos.<br />
<br />
"Essential civilian demand" for our freedom to farm "every green herb" is the priority. If we are to evolve symbiotic human values in time to avert systemic collapse of environment, then we must reverse our assessment of Cannabis from illegal to essential to the proper integrated functioning of environment, economics and the social order.<br />
<br />
Please take a minute to do what you can. Help support the grassroots effort to globalize "essential civilian demand" legitimized by the First Amendment. Share this perspective to help others co-create our common future. The threat of global systemic collapse requires a proportionate global response, now.<br />
<br />
"The whole history of the progress of human Liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of struggle...If there is no struggle there is no progress...The struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." ~ Frederick Douglass, 1857projectpeacehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15994176630788673836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255691539873116581.post-26761851598574372252015-10-12T23:03:00.002-07:002015-10-14T11:59:16.148-07:00Formal exercise of "Essential civilian demand" for the “strategic resource” Cannabis "hemp"<div style="font: normal normal normal 15px/normal Helvetica; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; min-height: 18px; text-align: center;">

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Organic Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition and sustainable energy from the same harvest; while sequestering twelve tons of carbon from the atmosphere per acre per growing season. This feature of the plant makes Cannabis essential. Cannabis is the only plant that produces sufficient volume of monoterpenes to replace what has been lost with the death of the boreal forests. Cannabis is the only crop that produces enough fiber to satisfy humanity's voracious appetite for paper. If you were to recognize that Cannabis is essential to resolving climate imbalance, then the shift into alignment with natural values would happen much sooner, as it must.</span></div>

<br />
<br />
Dear Pope Francis,<br />
<br />
Thank you for facing climate change with a realistic and purposeful vision. Your expression of respect for God's gifts of Nature, elevates humanity into alignment with the Creator's systemic, integrated, web-of-life, at a pivotal moment in mankind's history.<br />
<br />
I am writing to encourage support for your essential wisdom in considering every possible remedy for recovering environmental balance. The intricate, interconnected relationships in which mankind participates must be regarded with a genuine, functional morality. If our Earth Mother is to be healed of man's past errors, atmospheric balance must be restored soon.<br />
<br />
I offer very good news, of an organic agricultural strategy for healing several major imbalances. A time-limited urgency accompanies the uncertainties concerning effects of increasing solar UV-B radiation. that has not yet been seriously acknowledged by political leadership in the United States.<br />
<br />
I ask your help, in focusing your global influence on a novel, biogenic remedy, necessary to healing Nature. By recognizing the true, <b>essential</b> value of Cannabis, prohibition could be ended globally, by <i>"essential civilian demand."</i><br />
<br />
There are several properties of Cannabis that make the crop both unique and essential for mankind's sustainable, symbiotic existence within the operating systems of the Earth. Cannabis agriculture is mankind's functional interface with the Natural Order, an agronomic tool necessary for us to evolve values of balance between consumption and moral ecology.<br />
<br />
By legislating a fraudulent value against Nature's most useful and uniquely essential "herb bearing seed," prohibition has imposed essential resource scarcity. Prohibition judge's God and Nature as criminals for this most useful plant. Essential resource scarcity has misled mankind to toxic values, at the brink of environmental collapse and moral bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
I propose an achievable, affordable solution to several major global problems at once. Particular urgency exists for healing the increasing levels of solar UV-B radiation that accelerates climate imbalance.<br />
<br />
Ours is a time-limited opportunity for survival as conditions degenerate toward irreversible, global systemic collapse. The shift in value from "illegal" to essential is inevitable. Cannabis prohibition must end. The question is whether it will end quickly and completely enough.<br />
<br />
The true, unique and essential values of the plant, for healing our bodies and Earth's atmosphere, preclude rightful jurisdiction over Cannabis, by any court. Our freedom to farm <i><b>"every herb bearing seed"</b></i> is the first test of religious freedom.<b> <i>"Every green herb" </i></b>is our rightful legacy, that comes with the responsibility to pass those hard-won freedoms along intact to future generations.<br />
<br />
Organic Cannabis is the only crop that produces complete nutrition and sustainable energy from the same harvest. Cannabis grown in organic soil is capable of sequestering twelve tons of carbon per acre from the atmosphere each growing season. This feature of the plant makes Cannabis essential. Cannabis is the only plant that produces sufficient volume of monoterpenes to replace what has been lost with the death of the boreal forests. Cannabis is the only crop that produces enough fiber to satisfy humanity's voracious appetite for paper. If you were to recognize that Cannabis is essential to resolving climate imbalance, then the shift into alignment with natural values would happen much sooner, as it must.<br />
<br />
If prohibition of Cannabis "hemp" had never been imposed, mankind would have remained in balance with Nature. The fundamental challenge of our time is a pivotal, polar shift in values from "illegal" to essential. Mankind is far beyond its rightful authority in legislating scarcity of an unique and essential food resource upon which other species also depend for their survival.<br />
<br />
'Time' has become the limiting-factor in the equation of survival. Time is the only thing we can' t make more of. I trust you will agree it is time to consider all possible Earth-healing, "Gaiatherapeutic" protocols, needed immediately for healing our planet.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Nature's most gifted, essential plant partner was legislated into scarcity. Such was the impact of this mislead earshot, that over time, human morals and values have degenerated into complete disregard for the works of God, The Creator, what I refer to as "The Great YouNameIt."<br />
<br />
The legitimate value of the Creator's finest gift to the world is finally being acknowledged for all of its many essential benefits. Perhaps most urgently is the need to generate atmospheric aerosol "monoterpenes," produced in abundance by hemp. Concentrations of monoterpenes in the atmosphere and hydrologic cycle have been reduced by about 50%, with the death of 50% of the Earth's boreal forests and about 40% of the marine phytoplankton.<br />
<br />
As far as I can tell, there are seven uniquely essential properties that make Cannabis agriculture increasingly urgent. Please feel invited to consider further explanation in my book, available on Amazon, entitled "Cannabis vs. Climate Change."<br />
<br />
I am also writing to ask that you intervene in the violation of religious freedom being inflicted on my dear, long-time friend and activist, Reverend Roger Christie, founder of the Hawai'i THC Ministry, in Hilo. Roger's ministry closed without regard to his state license, after ten years of open and public community service. He was indefinitely imprisoned without trial, denied bail eight times, and disallowed visitors for four and a half years.<br />
<br />
After three and a half years in prison, Roger was coerced into signing a "plea deal" in order to be released. His wife, Share Christie (St. Cyr) is now threatened with 27 months in prison, pending their appeal.<br />
<br />
Share, Roger and I are Cannabis ministers, spiritual seekers, among millions in the world's oldest global culture, people who have appreciated the blessings of the sacred herb throughout millennia. The first person awarded as a Ho'omaluhia Peacemaker, in 2001, Roger's ministry was raided in 2010 after ten years of open and much appreciated public service. Imprisoned without trial or bail for four and a half years, Roger stood strongly and honorably for religious freedom, without a single violation while in prison.<br />
<br />
I invite you to stand with us for truth, religious freedom and due process of law, and. Ask that you intervene on Share's behalf so that this gentle woman can remain free, to be with her husband, friends and family.<br />
<br />
In truth, drugs don't make seeds. Herbs make seeds. God gave "every herb bearing seed" to mankind and all of the other creatures of the Earth.I am writing on behalf of the contemporary Cannabis culture, to introduce you to "a plant of renown," uniquely qualified to heal climate imbalance. Perhaps you may also experience the same shift in value that completely reset Dr. Sanjay Gupta's awareness of the Cannabis plant's true value in healing people of illness.<br />
<br />
We are asking your help in achieving a necessary polar shift in Cannabis value, from "illegal" to essential, based in respect for Nature and recognition of the hemp plant' s unique and essential value.<br />
<br />
Thank you so much for your consideration, and for your great works.<br />
<br />
Sincerely yours,<br />

<br />
<br />
Cannabis is medicine for Mother Earth too.<br />
<br />
The "good news" is, there may be something we can do to heal the Earth. Planting hemp seeds takes very little time & effort, costs almost nothing, and all people everywhere can participate in helping recover systemic balance of our planet.<br />
<br />
Though incredibly simple, and achievable, this is a very time-limited offer. There’s no guarantee that we are not already too late. There’s no guarantee that we will still have this opportunity next year, or next month, or tomorrow. What’s certain is that if we fail, it will be our children and grandchildren who will suffer the worst of the violent and sickly systemic collapse we have initiated. Many people already suffer from the scarcity imposed by the so-called “drug war.”<br />
<br />
I just lost a dear friend to cancer. If Marshall had been able to combine Cannabis therapy with the pharmaceuticals he needed for pain relief in the hospital, he might have made it to his 61st birthday, April 20th. http://youtu.be/ncAwTUYlJB8<br />
<br />
And so it is with the Earth itself. If mankind chooses to survive, then we must coordinate our collective human ability to communicate. Our entire species must intentionally adapt our social evolution to what we know to be true about Cannabis, with primary consideration for the environmental relationships we may yet be able to rebalance.<br />
<br />
Governments will not make the shift in values needed quickly enough without a specific, coordinated public effort. The economic inertia of past “Gaiacidal” values have rendered intransigent control over governance by a toxic-industrial cabal of greed, affording the means for global manipulation and misleadership. Governments have been bought, favoring private interests, not the public good. Problems are profitable for the corporate outlaws selling expensive solutions that only create more problems.<br />
<br />
We are all being force-fed unlabeled, GMO’d Frankenfoods; sprayed with carcinogens and dosed, against our will with pesticides and pharmaceutical drugs, through our air & water. If we are to successfully avert systemic collapse, we must do it now, without further regard to the false human values we were born into, nor the fraud imposed by ignorance and bigotry.<br />
<br />
Cannabis is an essential “herb bearing seed” -- it can’t be prohibited. Wake Up! Drugs don’t make seeds. Herbs make seeds. Our freedom to farm “every herb bearing seed” is the first test of religious freedom.<br />
<br />
Any government that imposes essential resource scarcity is a traitor to its own people. Prohibition is treason against God, country, and the Earth itself. Court-imposed scarcity of an essential, “strategic resource” during a time of systemic collapse, is malfeasant on a scale that defies logic, urgency and the principles of Justice.<br />

Morally bankrupt, functionally unsustainable, “Gaiacidal” values are, in effect, treason against God, country and planet. Overlaid with a transparent veneer of so-called “legalities” the volume & magnitude of imposed problems-for-profit impact everyone, everywhere. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I invite those people who recognize the wisdom in Nature, and the sacred dimensions of human existence, to join in exercising “essential civilian demand” for Cannabis. It is my intention to advance realistically, scientifically and legally, through this pivotal era. I am motivated by concern for my child, my friends and family, my community and the world of friends I have not met yet. I am motivated by love for all creatures who share this time and space with us. I am motivated by respect for our Mother the Earth, upon whose bosom we gratefully depend. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">At this moment in human social evolution, nothing is more urgent than the cooperation and peaceful coordination of like-minded folk, who are willing & able to think and act 'outside the bong.' Hurdling obsolete "legal" constructs in a timely way has become the responsible course of immediate, global action. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The polar shift in values we are witnessing has achieved sufficient popular momentum in response to increasing public awareness of the true, essential values of Cannabis, and urgency imposed by the threat of extinction. The tipping-point of the social dynamics necessarily accelerate changes in human governance. Past, conventional, time-wasting protocols that have thus-far failed to effect the degree of change needed to implement global Cannabis freedom, can be clearly seen in historical, statistical retrospect to have created the problems that the “drug war” was supposed to have solved, and more. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">We live at the “eleventh hour” of human existence, threatened with imminent systemic collapse. Time has become the limiting factor in the equation determining the quality of life on Earth in the future. Our species’ survival, or our violent and sickly extinction depends on what we do now, this Spring of 2015. It is our responsibility, to ourselves, our children, our ancestors and future generations, to initiate the Earth's biogenic healing mechanism that is most globally and immediately available. </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">I believe with all of my heart, intuition, experience and intellect, that biodynamic Cannabis farming and gardening is the healing mechanism needed to rebalance the atmosphere, and shift from unevenly distributed, toxic, finite chemically-based economic system, to an agriculturally founded value system, based in respect for and cooperation with Nature..</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Cognizant of the present, degenerating tragedies of violence, war and ecosystem collapse symptomatic of global systemic collapse, currently evidenced in every region of the planet, it is at least prudent to implement the federal "emergency preparedness" protocol that is referenced in five U.S. documents as "essential civilian demand." </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Seven Presidential Executive Orders specifically name "hemp" as a "strategic resource." Two of those [1,2] convey legal authority for "essential civilian demand" in coordinating a timely, effective “emergency preparedness” response to the clear and present global systemic imbalance. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">If this Spring planting season passes without hemp seed in the ground, then that in itself is proof that our species does not have the ability to adapt, to evolve beyond the obsolete constructs that have imposed scarcity of an unique and essential “strategic resource.”</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Certainly, incontestable proof of increasing solar UV-B radiation is the most under-regarded, aspect of climate change. Increasing "UV-Broiling" is deadly, invisible and ubiquitous. Compounding feedback loops associated "global broiling" have manifested in illnesses, famine, death, and indicator species extinction, by confounding systems and relationships that are fundamental to balance of the Natural Order.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The most time-efficient, non-litagious, federal protocol for achieving a peaceful, timely transition to the reality of true, essential, abundant "strategic" Cannabis values, is yet to be invoked. What is the reason for that? </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Time is so limited, the opportunity for reversing the harms we have imposed on the Earth is passing so quickly. Mankind is responding so sluggishly, illogically perpetuating the poisoning of the Earth, denying the true value of Nature’s greatest plant gift. </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">People (and just about every other animal species) have endocannabinoid systems to regulate systemic health. It is not too much of a stretch to recognize that if mankind is to exist symbiotically within the Natural Order of this planet, then the planet Herself has a need for Cannabis, to maintain our presence, and feed our desires, in harmony with the “Web of Life.” </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Arguments against Cannabis are so transparently false and insulting to empirical understanding, recent history and scientific intelligence as to be evolutionarily regressive to the point of criminality. Prohibition is institutionalized corporate treason against God, country, global society, and our Mother Earth. The polar, pivotal shift in values from “illegal” to essential, in the court of public opinion, will heal that.</span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">The true essential value of Cannabis will eventually be recognized. With so many uses and benefits to the Earth, Cannabis has become critically essential to mankind's continued existence on this planet. The REAL question is, "How hot does the Earth have to get?” before the polar shift in values from "illegal" to essential changes to the Earth's Reality Channel, featuring irreversible systemic collapse? </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Will mankind continue to under-react? Climbing atmospheric carbon levels, increasing sea temperatures and ocean acidity; melting clathrate deposits in the sub-Arctic bubbling methane into the atmosphere; and increasing UV-B radiation increasing the solubility of mercury, arsenic and selenium compounds? Really? Are we that slow? Are we so entrenched in the mundane and frivolous that we cannot adjust to the pace of change that’s required for our own existence? </span></div>

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">There is considerable legal purchase in the indisputable fact that "drugs" don't make seeds. Herbs do. You can make a drug from an herb, but you cannot make an herb from a drug. They are not the same thing. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Our freedom to farm “every herb bearing seed” is the first test of religious freedom. “Every green herb” was given to every creature that walks the Earth, the Creator of everything. Prohibition of Cannabis is an insult to the Creator, by any name, and a violation of man’s and animal’s most basic right to eat what grows, abundantly and for free. </span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Give thanks for such food, fuels, cloth, paper, safe & effective herbal therapeutics. Thanks too to Cannabis for the atmospheric aerosol monoterpenes that shield the Earth from the deadly wavelengths of ultraviolet light emanating from our Sun. Thanks as well to Cannabis and the soil organisms that work together to sequester twelve tons of carbon per organically grown acre, per growing season.</span></div>

<span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">Biblical quotes from the U.S. government's officially recognized "God," convey First Amendment legitimacy in re-claiming our immutable right to "every herb bearing seed." Prohibition is treason against God, country and Mother Earth. The contemporary Cannabis culture must overcome more than seven decades of intimidation and judgement (based in corporate lies and racial prejudice) to recognize the true, essential, unique value of Cannabis. We can all begin today, immediately by capitalizing her genus name again, without fear or shame! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small; letter-spacing: 0.0px;">It is interesting, though disappointing, to note the pervasive departure from proper form exhibited by scientists and journalists who fail to capitalize a genus name. I interpret this as being symptomatic of the widespread suppressive influence, attributable to an irrational social prejudice that consistently clouds professionalism in authorship. </span></div>

With the release of "Cannabis vs. Climate Change" comes the responsibility of giving people the opportunity to present questions and concerns, consider further developments and initiate accelerated progress toward global understanding, revaluation and consensus. If Cannabis is truly essential, as posited in this book, then people everywhere deserve to know, and to understand why that's true.<br />
<br />
If invited to present, either in person or via Skype I can offer a PowerPoint, video, and/or slide lecture that will attempt to address the way forward for a peaceful, healthful future.<br />
<br />
This <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sunday, November 16th, 2014, from 12 to 2 pm (PST)</span></b> I will be hosting a Blogtalk Radio program, live from Weed, California. People everywhere are encouraged to phone in and participate in the necessary discourse for achieving a polar, pivotal shift in values.<br />
