I was a normal American nerd.

Hemp is Earth's number-one biomass resource; it is capable of producing 10 tons per acre in four months.

I was 30 years old and this girl I knew found out I had never gotten high. Nobody had ever told me about marijuana.

The only dead bodies from marijuana are in the prisons and at the hands of the police. This is ridiculous.

When I went off to the army when I was 17 years old, I believed in America and the rights of freedom. But today I believe my government is lying to the American people and that my president, George Bush, is a criminal.

Growing hemp as nature designed it is vital to our urgent need to reduce greenhouse gases and ensure the survival of our planet.

In fact, marijuana lowers your stress level and lowers your body temperature. It actually seems that people live longer if they use it. If you substitute marijuana for tobacco and alcohol, you'll add 24 years to your life.
