He didn't ask about dope. Hemp IS marijuana.
I remember us trying the "hemp" movement

Extoll the virtues of Hemp. get IT legalized. Then we would grow our HEMP over there and our DOPE over here.
That didnt work in this state either.
Medical Marijuana seems to be working rather well but seems to of lead to an epidemic of Fibromyalgia in states that have legalized medical marijuana

That's hilarious because it's true. I went to continuing ed course and some PTs from MI were there. They said their caseload of figromyalgia patients has quadrupled. Seems to be the common catchall diagnosis people are getting to smoke their smoke.

I've posted it here before, but Henry Ford was a huge proponent of hemp. This video is amazing.

ford's "Hemp Car" was a publicity stunt.

he made a lot of claims, but it was in fact lubricated with petroleum, ran on petroleum (with a little hemp oil and alcohol mixed in) and the "hemp plastic" parts were in fact made from ordinary petroleum plastic.

it was a concept, which had no proof of concept, and was entirely a fiction based on a theory.

you COULD do these things today, but the cost would be prohibitive, but he couldnt do it then.

the only thing that actually worked in his Hemp Concept was the paint job. hemp oil was the primary stabilizer for his baked on "Japan Black" paint, but petroleum still did the job cheaper (if not better).

at the time petroleum was cheap abundant and "limitless" (lulz) while agricultural land was in high demand for food production.

I think I've posted that twice here. Thanks for stopping me from doing it a third (or fourth).

I'm still a huge H Ford fan though, having grown up near his place, I've been fascinated with his ideas. I believe if he had lived long enough, we'd have "useful" electric cars by now. That was one of his passions. (according to his museum, if this turns out to be bunk too, I may cry)

he was also a huge booster for eugenics, anti-semitism (the real kind, not the whiney whimpering you often hear from the "That's Racist" crowd, but real bitter, protocols of the elders of zion type jew hating) and the joys of fascism...

heroes are often not nearly as awesome in life as they appear in their legends.

I can't believe the Henry Ford Museum would leave those parts out.

Next thing you'll tell me is Under Dog was really a commie.

not only that, but Smurfette was a Polyandrist.

and they sensor road runner cartoons....
I'm totally serious:

Papa Smurf has a beard that looks like he stole it from Marx's corpse, he always wears red, and he is the undisputed leader of his collective.
he rules as a benevolent dictator, who is wise, always right, and has a shitload of stories about why you should share everything, work together, and NEVER LEAVE THE VILLAGE



Brainy Smurf is Papa Smurf's Number Two, the intellectual second string, who takes the reins of the collective when Papa is off attending meetings of the International Association of Magical Creatures (lulz)
Brainy may not command the same respect as The Supreme Leader In Red, but he still can rally the troops, and get them to go over the top.




Hefty Smurf: The Enforcer. he ensures the collective works together even if persuasion fails. he bears the only other Red mark in the village, but a Red Star would have been too obvious





Handy Smurf: the symbolic proletarian, he is always ready to work for the collective, and follows the commands of papa and brainy without question.

Gargamel: the primary antagonist, and the only regularly appearing character who lives outside the collective.
Dressed in rags which were once opulent finery, he is a scavenger, who lurks in the ruins of an ancient tower built in days long past, which he has neither the ability nor the desire to repair.
his goal is simple, capture all the smurfs and turn them into gold.
he clearly exemplifies Marxism' view of capitalism, an obsolete system which stands in opposition to the glorious communist future of the Smurf Village Utopia
his long hooked nose, beetley eyebrows and lust for gold also marks him as The Jew, a popular foil in Marxist propaganda to this day.






and of course Gargamel is always attended by his vicious servant, Azrael who has only one desire, to eat the smurfs, despite Gargamel's plans for wealth
Azrael clearly represents the reactionary elements of the bourgeois, in their service to the greater evil, capitalism.

What's funny is you're not the first to derive this conclusion.
