UPDATE
I put 2 of my old posts from my old blog on this page. Its the ginseng and hemp posts. Please read them for your own benefit especially the hemp one. 2eace.
HEMP FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY
Resuming the waterfall of knowledge. The previous two posts where spur of the moment posts. Just stuff I thought and figured someone might want to read. I have one more detour topic. The regular posts will follow this one. I guarantee it. And that topic is the whole Legalization debate of Cannabis Sativa aka Hemp aka government name Marijuana. First off Marijuana is a name given to the plant by the government. Its the name given to the "make you high" version of the plant. I hope you know that. If you don't then you have no business reading my shit. Catch up.
Now let me put stuff in the proper perspective so people can see what were dealing with here when it concerns a matter such as this. Education, education, Edjuhmafukincation. Education and putting matters in the proper perspective can solve ALOT of our problems. Now I don't even smoke the bountiful buds. I am educated on the plant and there are numerous positive benefits to the non-THC version of the plant known as Hemp. And your average citizen needs to know this so that it can know why it is so important for this plant to be legalized. Truthfully I don't even want to put this topic on my page for fear that someones going to take it and change the meaning of it. But the fact is, is that the production benefits of Hemp are vast and the United States needs to cut the bullshit. THEIR USING THE THC-CONTAINED PLANT AND GENERAL IGNORANCE TO STEER THE POPULATION FROM RECOGNIZING THE BENEFITS OF HEMP. HEMP IS A SEPERATE ENTITY FROM THC-CONTAINING CANNABIS AND THATS WHAT NEEDS TO BE EMPHASIZED.
Hemp can be used to make virtually anything that is currently made of cotton, timber, or petroleum. Hemp is the world's strongest natural fiber. It has been used to make cloth and rope for over 10,000 years. Hemp was the first crop ever cultivated for textile production. Hemp cloth is stronger, longer lasting, more resistant to mildew, and cheaper to produce than cloth made of cotton. Hemp ropes are known for their strength and durability. I can't stress how important and how much of a disservice were doing to the planet by refusing to use this plant. The following stuff were made from hemp.
Now writing that, I have to mention that with the exception of medical "marijuana" there needs to be a redirection of our focus with the legalization. SO WITH ALL CAPS, MEDICINAL MARIJUANA SMOKERS YOU AREN'T BEING REFERENCED. Keep smoking LOL. To all the smokers and free rights people, yes you are correct. It isn't a matter of whether the plant is being used for industrial, production,medicinal, or being smoked recreational. It comes down to basic rights. Driving drunk and other functions are many more times threatning than being under the influence of "marijuana" will ever be. We all know that. But were talking about progressive politics here. And the main problem I have with all these so-called progressive politics is the put everything on the table philosophy. We don't have anything close to a perfect society. Alot of so-called *progressive politics puts the cart before the horse. We have to be realists about this shit.
Hemp is a perfectly safe product to be used for countless production and cureative methods. It is these aspects of the plant that we need to be getting educated about and focusing on. If you smoke then fine, but if you want the plant legalized you need to spread knowledge about Hemp and its many production, industrial, and cureative benefits. Because when that happens it comes to being sensible about the whole matter. And when you get enough people educated about it then the population will start realizing what some people already know. That the fact that Hemp is not being legalized in America is dumb. As a matter of fact not only is it dumb, its' wrong. Its wrong for the planet, its wrong for the advancement of society, and its wrong from all angles. EDUCATE
*Now I have to add that I'm not coming down on any liberals or whatever. I don't even like using the word politics. People hear politics and they think of people in suits exchanging dry monologues. So I'm not a big fan of the word due to its association. But as far as progressiveness goes it has to be viewed in a revolutionary way. If not then you come down some pegs to basic liberalism. And being a progressive doesn't neccessarily make you liberal. I think there can be conservative progressives too. Being a strong liberal doesn't make you a progressive. If your really a progressive you don't have to say that you are. For me I only know of one Feminist who has a full revolutionary model in place and completely lives by it. To put it bluntly, I only know of one real feminist of basic American feminism. I'm sure theres more but like I said, I only know of one. Not saying the rest of yall are faking but shes the real deal and then some. So yeah I look at that whole "political" stuff with a sharp lens. I won't go into much else cuz this is a subject in itself. Progress, evolve, humanity. These aren't buzzwords.

CULTIVATE, INVIGORATE
Hi readers, hoverers, hackers, and everything in between. I'm foregoing my initial blog. I found a very intriguing article that I wanted to go over. So I interupt your regularly scheduled program to bring you the following.
I was going through some papers earlier and I found an article that I'd like to summarize and write. It is detailing information about the plant mainly the root ginseng. Now I was going to delve heavily into this market when I was still in decent health. Now that I am a bit incapacitated I figured I'd pass on all my grandoise ambitions on to the average John Q or anyone still young who wants to make a comfortable life for themselves. What is that quote about youth? Youth is wasted on the young or whatever. Don't waste your youth!!! Learn all you can. Mash like theres no tomorrow. Its' an everday struggle. Time is money. Money is power. You know the rest. It may get a little "boring" here if business articles don't float your boat.
Alright. Back on track here. The article is detailing the ginseng market and how profitable and substantial the market is. It also of course mentions the physcial attributes and positive effects of the root. Most people know what ginseng is or at least have an idea. That odd looking root in a glass vial that you see in convenience stores that looks like some maniacal science experiment gone horribly wrong. Well average American if you can stop for a minute and try to think of it as more than some odd foreign plant you will find many positive attributes with the plant. The article writes about a scientist who is part of the United States Department of Agriculture. He knows plenty about ginseng. Knows where to find it growing wild in the shadow of the Capital Beltway here. He also raises it at home. And he believes, like the Chinese, that ginseng does wondrous things for the mind and body.
The Chinese want to know all there is to know about American ginseng, which is in big demand in the Orient. By USDA estimates, some 644,000 pounds of the root were exported last year, producing about $39 million in income. I found this fascinating and when I found the article I began to see that there was massive potential in the market. I mean this was the real deal. The best grades of wild ginseng, found extensively in the Appalachian hardwood forests, fetch as much as $170 a pound. The best commercial grades, from farms in Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, and North Carolina in the main, bring considerably less but still are high-profit. The article states that $10,000 from a half-acre plot can be acquired on a regular basis. When I was reading all of the information I was astounded. I always thought of ginseng as a foreign product. Now there was an article telling me that the Wild Ginseng that grows in North America is the most sought after. How great is that for Americans who want to profit from agriculture.
The articles states that demand is so high for the wild variety that it is protected by an international endangered-species treaty and its harvest in the United States is closely regulated by the Interior Department and state governments. I think that is amazing. A Plant has international endangered-species stipulations. I thought stuff like that was only for animals. That is truly amazing. The scientist from the U.S.D.A Research Center said that he feels that the wild root, which is more potent than commercial ginseng, will still be in great demand.
The scientists speciality is the study of medicinal plants, but ginseng garners the most intrigue. The scientist also states that studies in the Orient have found hormonal substances in ginseng that tend to substantiate the idea that it is an endurance-builder, when taken regularly in the form of tea or powder or as a food additive. The article writes that "Growing Ginseng" has become one of the most popular of U.S.D.A's farmer bulletins. The article is from quite a while ago but I'm sure that the product is still a viable market. A store manager told the writer that people are becoming quite sophisticated about ginseng. He said that they are able to distinguish between the different grades. He also mentins that the aphrodisiac is part of the folklore, a commercially popular idea, but it isn't advertised that way in China or Korea and we don't play up that aspect.
In closing I found the article astounding and when I read it I began to think of all the possibilites that could be achieved. I mean there is substantial money to be made in the market. So I am giving more information to those that see the opportunities laid in front of them. To anyone reading I suggest you appreciate what I am giving and go on about your business as usual. When I read anything from anyone I read, watch, whatever and go on about my business. It'd probably be best if you did the same. I hope everyone enjoyed the brief of sorts. You may now tune back to your regularly scheduled program. Later drones.
