WiFi Kills Cress!

Cress expose to WiFi.  Yum?

Foreign researchers are extremely excited for a biology project from five 9th grade girls.
Researchers from England, Holland and Sweden have shown great interest in the five girls’ biology experiments.
Take 400 Cress seeds and place them into 12 trays. Then place six trays in two rooms at the same temperature. Give them the same amount of water and sun over 12 days, and remember to expose half of them to mobile [Wi-Fi] radiation.
It is a recipe for a biology test so brilliant that it has attracted international attention among acknowledged biologists and radiation experts. Behind the experiment are five girls from 9b in Hjallerup School in North Jutland, and it all started because they found it difficult to concentrate during the school day:
“We all think we have experienced difficulty concentrating in school, if we had slept with the phone next to our head, and sometimes also experienced having difficulty sleeping”, explains Lea Nielsen, who is one of the five aspiring researchers.
The school was not equipped to test the effect of mobile phone radiation on them. Therefore, the girls had to find an alternative. And the answer was Cress.
Six trays of seeds were put into a room without radiation, and six trays were put into another room next to two [Wi-Fi] routers. Such routers broadcast the same type of radiation as an ordinary mobile.

Then it was just necessary to wait 12 days, observe, measure, weigh and take pictures along the way. And the result spoke was clear: cress seeds next to the router did not grow, and some of them were even mutated or dead. (emphasis added – Ed.)
“It is truly frightening that there is so much affect, so we were very shocked by the result”, says Lea Nielsen.

Reactions The experiment secured the girls the finals in the competition “Young Scientists”, but it was only the beginning. Renowned scientists from England, Holland and Sweden have since shown great interest in the girls’ project so far.

The renowned professor at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Olle Johansson, is one of the impressed researchers. He will now repeat the experiment with a Belgian research colleague, Professor Marie-Claire Cammaert at the Université libre de Bruxelles, for the trial, according to him, is absolutely brilliant:
“The girls stayed within the scope of their knowledge, skilfully implemented and developed a very elegant experiment. The wealth of detail and accuracy is exemplary, choosing cress was very intelligent, and I could go on”, he says.
He is not slow to send them an invitation to go on the road:
“I sincerely hope that they spend their future professional life in researching, because I definitely think they have a natural aptitude for it. Personally, I would love to see these people in my team!”
No mobile by the bed
The five girls from northern Jutland have not yet decided their future careers. They are still very surprised by all the sudden attention.
“It has been such a rollercoaster ride. I still cannot believe it”, says Lea Nielsen.
And Mathilde Nielsen added:
“It’s totally overwhelming and exciting. It’s just not something you experience every day”.
But there have also been other consequences of the cress trial, which is quite low-tech in nature.
“None of us sleep with the mobile next to the bed anymore. Either the phone is put far away, or it is put in another room. And the computer is always off”, says Lea Nielsen.

Study: Regular Marijuana Use May Prevent Diabetes and Make You Skinnier

Current marijuana users have 16 percent lower fasting insulin levels compared to non-users, according to the American Journal of Medicine

Activist Post

Regular marijuana use is associated with favorable indices related to diabetic control, say investigators. They found that current marijuana users had significantly lower fasting insulin and were less likely to be insulin resistant, even after excluding patients with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. Their findings are reported in the current issue of The American Journal of Medicine.

Marijuana (Cannabis sativa) has been used for centuries to relieve pain, improve mood, and increase appetite. Outlawed in the United States in 1937, its social use continues to increase and public opinion is swinging in favor of the medicinal use of marijuana. There are an estimated 17.4 million current users of marijuana in the United States. Approximately 4.6 million of these users smoke marijuana daily or almost daily. A synthetic form of its active ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol, commonly known as THC, has already been approved to treat side-effects of chemotherapy, AIDS-induced anorexia, nausea, and other medical conditions. With the recent legalization of recreational marijuana in two states and the legalization of medical marijuana in 19 states and the District of Columbia, physicians will increasingly encounter marijuana use among their patient populations.

A multicenter research team analyzed data obtained during the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES) between 2005 and 2010. They studied data from 4,657 patients who completed a drug use questionnaire. Of these, 579 were current marijuana users, 1,975 had used marijuana in the past but were not current users, and 2,103 had never inhaled or ingested marijuana. Fasting insulin and glucose were measured via blood samples following a nine hour fast, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated to evaluate insulin resistance.

Participants who reported using marijuana in the past month had lower levels of fasting insulin and HOMA-IR and higher levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). These associations were weaker among those who reported using marijuana at least once, but not in the past thirty days, suggesting that the impact of marijuana use on insulin and insulin resistance exists during periods of recent use. Current users had 16% lower fasting insulin levels than participants who reported never having used marijuana in their lifetimes.

Large waist circumference is linked to diabetes risk. In the current study there were also significant associations between marijuana use and smaller waist circumferences.

"Previous epidemiologic studies have found lower prevalence rates of obesity and diabetes mellitus in marijuana users compared to people who have never used marijuana, suggesting a relationship between cannabinoids and peripheral metabolic processes, but ours is the first study to investigate the relationship between marijuana use and fasting insulin, glucose, and insulin resistance," says lead investigator Murray A. Mittleman, MD, DrPH, of the Cardiovascular Epidemiology Research Unit at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston.

"It is possible that the inverse association in fasting insulin levels and insulin resistance seen among current marijuana users could be in part due to changes in usage patterns among those with a diagnosis of diabetes (i.e., those with diabetes may have been told to cease smoking). However, after we excluded those subjects with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, the associations between marijuana use and insulin levels, HOMA-IR, waist circumference, and HDL-C were similar and remained statistically significant," states Elizabeth Penner, MD, MPH, an author of the study.

Although people who smoke marijuana have higher average caloric intake levels than non-users, marijuana use has been associated with lower body-mass index (BMI) in two previous surveys. "The mechanisms underlying this paradox have not been determined and the impact of regular marijuana use on insulin resistance and cardiometabolic risk factors remains unknown," says coauthor Hannah Buettner.

The investigators acknowledge that data on marijuana use were self-reported and may be subject to underestimation or denial of illicit drug use. However, they point out, underestimation of drug use would likely yield results biased toward observing no association.

Editor-in-Chief Joseph S. Alpert, MD, Professor of Medicine at the University of Arizona College of Medicine, Tucson, comments, "These are indeed remarkable observations that are supported, as the authors note, by basic science experiments that came to similar conclusions.

"We desperately need a great deal more basic and clinical research into the short- and long-term effects of marijuana in a variety of clinical settings such as cancer, diabetes, and frailty of the elderly," continues Alpert." I would like to call on the NIH and the DEA to collaborate in developing policies to implement solid scientific investigations that would lead to information assisting physicians in the proper use and prescription of THC in its synthetic or herbal form."

ABOLISH TASER PETITION RCA

Believing tasers to do far more harm than good, to kill far more people than they save and that they leave the public wide open to abuse and unjust suffering, we call for an end to the use of these weapons.  As the vast majority of people killed by tasers were unarmed and alone, we say ‘No more deaths’, ban the taser now.  Before another pregnant woman, another blind man, handcuffed youth, or unarmed teenager is dropped to the concrete by 50,000 volts of electricity surging through their body, before another young life is cold in the grave, we say ban this sinister new weapon that has no legitimate place in a civilized society. 
 Sometimes people get the idea that to be anti-taser, you have to be anti-police.  This is an absurd assumption to make.  We realize the police have to deal with extremely dangerous situations and people, but we Brits have always prided ourselves on our unarmed police, and see the cattle-prod as an insult to our Human dignity.  Whilst the police need to protect themselves when dealing with violent people, there are many more safe and humane technologies available, such as nets, or even tranquilizer darts.  The taser has already done a great deal to harm the image of the police and this will take time to remedy.  The taser will inevitably disappear soon, as the reality of its consequences rapidly overtakes the myth of its safety and effectiveness.  Until that time, we ask you to remember the many people who have been killed by tasers and to protect the living by signing the Abolish Taser Petition.

UK Man Wins Court Victory Over BBC for 9/11 Coverup Broadcast

Activist Post

Tony Rooke refused to pay a TV license fee because the BBC intentionally misrepresented facts about the 9/11 attacks, he alleged. It is widely known that the BBC reported the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 over 20 minutes before it occurred. WTC 7 was a 47-story skyscraper that was not hit by a plane on 9/11 but collapsed at free-fall speed later that day.

So Rooke said the BBC had to have had prior knowledge to a terror attack making them complicit in the attack. He presented the BBC footage to the judge along with a slew of other evidence, and the judge agreed that Rooke had a reasonable case to protest. Rooke was found not guilty and he was not fined for failure to pay the licensing fee.

Below is the broadcast where the BBC announced the collapse of WTC 7 while it was still standing behind the reporter.

Student Invents Device that Charges Batteries with Radio and WIFI Waves

Image source

Activist Post

German university student, Dennis Siegel, invented a device that captures electromagnetic fields like WIFI and radio waves and converts them to stored energy in batteries.

His electromagnetic harvester won second place at this year's Digitale Medien (Digital Media) technology competition at the University of the Arts Bremen, Hochschulpreis when he successfully demonstrated charging one AA battery over the span of a day.

Siegel explains the device on his blog:

The omnipresence of electromagnetic fields is implied just by simple current flow. We are surrounded by electromagnetic fields which we are producing for information transfer or as a byproduct. Many of those fields are very capacitive and can be harvested with coils and high frequency diodes. Accordingly, I built special harvesting devices that are able to tap into several electromagnetic fields to exploit them. The energy is stored in an usual battery. So you can for example gain redundant energy from the power supply of a coffee machine, a cell phone or an overhead wire by holding the harvester directly into the electromagnetic field whose strength is indicated by a LED on the top of the harvester.

Depending on the strength of the electromagnetic field it is possible to charge a small battery within one day. The system is meant to be an option for granting access to already existing but unheeded energy sources. By exploring these sources it can create a new awareness of the invisible electromagnetic spaces while giving them a spatial dimension.

There are two types of harvester for different electromagnetic fields: a smaller harvester that is suitable for lower frequencies below 100Hz which you can find in the general mains (50/60Hz, 16,7Hz) and a bigger one that is suitable for lower and higher frequencies like radio broadcast (~100MHz), GSM (900/1800MHz) up to Bluetooth and WLAN (2,4GHz).

Here's a short video of Siegel finding strong enough electromagnetic frequencies to charge his battery:

Hollywood Rolls Out Propaganda on Oscar Night

Bernie Suarez
Activist Post

Just as Oscar night was winding down with the most prestigious awards being handed out something strange happened that should have alarmed every viewer; something that should have triggered a warning in the minds of every American who cares about America, freedom and the Constitution.

With no apologies and much to the chagrin of some independent thinkers, artists and movie watchers; sadly much to the delight of the Obamanite Zombies, yet simultaneously to no surprise to those who are fully awakened, the Emperor's wife popped up in the screen; yes the wife of the man who has trashed the Constitution, murdered American citizens without proof of guilt, trial or a jury. The was the wife of the same man whose administration has expanded the police state; the administration who is now occupying countries all of Africa and the middle east, has launched countless wars without any moral or legal basis and the same administration which has done nothing about the Bush administration war crimes.

There she was, presenting the award for ‘Best Picture’ telling the audience about the importance of overcoming obstacles and conveying a positive message to the audience hoping that, (consistent with her husband’s administrations policy of ‘Do as I say not as I do’) the audience would just emotionally attach themselves to the messenger and judge her and her husband strictly by her words.

This may be very difficult for supporters of the current administration to wrap their heads around, but this was a classic display of Hitler-Style propaganda. This is exactly the tactics dictators of the past have used to manipulate public opinion about the leader by appealing to their emotions. Once again Hollywood is fully exposed for being one of the prime mouthpieces of the U.S. Government. For anyone even mildly awake, this was no coincident; this was classic real-time garbage propaganda for your mind. 

As expected the Emperor’s wife made no mention of the real problems in the world; no mention of the war crimes her husband is currently committing. Instead the actress stood firm in her lies, told with a smile hoping to nurture the zombie-seeds they (her and her husband) have sewn for over 4 years now since the explosion of lies Barry Soetoro unleashed on America back in 2008.

This is how tyranny and fascism works and I urge readers to take notes and share with your family and friends. This is the story of fascism in America; let us not miss a beat in telling future generations just how they did it.

This should serve as a reminder that as we observe the slow and progressive death of the mainstream media, we are also observing the emergence of Hollywood slowly becoming the primary mouthpiece of the Washington D.C. propagandists. Let us take this lesson from the Oscar awards. The stakes are very high for the Globalists Monkeys and the Hollywood platform is now greater than ever. Let’s be mindful of this (now very clear) Hollywood-Government complex that has been here all along and is now fully exposed.

Thanks to Hollywood Globalist Monkeys for showing their face in this moment of truth and giving us a chance to expose your evil and deception.

Bernie Suarez is an activist, critical thinker, radio host, musician, M.D, Veteran, lover of freedom and the Constitution, and creator of the Truth and Art TV project. He also has a background in psychology and highly recommends that everyone watch a documentary titled The Century of the Self. Bernie has concluded that the way to defeat the New World Order is to truly be the change that you want to see. Manifesting the solution and putting truth into action is the very thing that will defeat the globalists.

CIA TO CHOOSE NEXT POPE?

Cardinal Bertone (right)

"The Secretary of State and the real power behind the papacy is Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, an old insider who also engineered the sacking of Gotti Tedeschi, head of the Vatican Bank, last May.

"Tedeschi had taken seriously the call of the European Parliament for 'greater transparency' by the Vatican Bank /IOR, and was about to disclose to Brussels how his bosses had been laundering money for the mob for decades.

"It was the pivotal Cardinal Bertone who leaked the pope's diary and other incriminating papers to a catholic-friendly journalist in Rome last year .... to prepare the world for Ratzinger's removal."

Ouellet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

On 11 February 2013, Irish bookmakers put Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet as the leading contender to succeed Pope Benedict XVI.

Ouellet's odds are to 3-1

The Dublin-based bookmaker Paddy Power's odds suggest that the next most likely contenders are African Cardinals Francis Arinze of Nigeria at 4-1 and Peter Turkson of Ghana at 7-2.

Oddsmakers have Canadian as leading pope candidate...

Angelo Scola, Italy

Cardinal Angelo Scola, 71,  Archbishop of Milan, is a conservative.

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...

Marc Ouellet, Canada

Cardinal Ouellet, 68, from Canada, has similar thinking to that of the resigning Pope. He has close connections with the Latin American Church.

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...

Christoper Schoenborn, Austria

Cardinal Schoenborn, Archbishop of Vienna, is the son of a Bohemian count, and is seen as intellectually conservative.

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...

The Jerusalem Post, 1 April 2005, claimed that Schoenborn "delivered a strong message in favour of Jewish settlement in the Holy Land ... rejecting the claim that European Christians' support for the State of Israel is based on Holocaust guilt and saying that all Christians should affirm Zionism as a biblical imperative for the Jewish people."

Archbishop of Vienna Cardinal Schoenborn was speaking at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem on the topic of "God's chosen land."

Schoenborn said: "Only once in human history did God take a country as an inheritance and give it to His chosen people," Christians, Schoenborn said, should rejoice in the return of Jews to the Holy Land as the fulfillment of biblical prophecy.

Odilo Scherer, Brazil

The archbishop of Sao Paulo, Cardinal Odilo Scherer, 63, is the most prominent Latin American candidate.


Leonardo Sandri, Argentina

Cardinal Sandri, 63, was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina to Italian parents.

Towards the end of John Paul II's papacy, he became the pope's spokesman.


Peter Turkson, Ghana

Cardinal Turkson expressed support for the Occupy Wall Street protest movement.

Theologically, he is seen as a moderate.


Luis Tagle, Philippines

At 55, Luis Tagle is Cardinal archbishop of Manila.

"He's also known for inviting beggars outside his cathedral to share a meal with him. Tagle is one of the more media-savvy cardinals. He is a frequent broadcaster in the Philippines and has a presence on Facebook."

Papal conclave: Runners and riders...


Joao Braz de Aviz, Brazil

The 65-year-old from Brazil has focused on the welfare of the poor as espoused by the Liberation Theology popular in Latin America. But he distances itself from its ideological "excesses".

Timothy Dolan, United States

Cardinal Dolan, 62, from the United States, is the archbishop of the New York archdiocese.


Gianfranco Ravasi, Italy

Cardinal Ravasi, 70, has popularised Scripture studies through Italian television, radio and popular magazines. He is seen as a "moderate".


John Paul I

Will the the next Pope be chosen by the CIA?

The book 'In God's Name' by David Yallop suggests that, in 1978, Pope John Paul I was murdered.

According to Yallop this was partly because John Paul I was intending to excommunicate 100 top-ranking Vatican officials who were Freemasons.

Several of these Freemasons were allegedly co-conspirators in the Vatican Bank scandal.


Archbishop Marcinkus, who joined the priesthood in Chicago, where he was born to Lithuanian immigrants. He was a key figure in the 2.4 billion US dollars that were reportedly stolen from the Vatican Bank by the CIA-linked P2.

2.4 billion US dollars were reportedly embezzled from the Vatican Bank.

The masterminds of this bank crime were reportedly members of Italy's P2 masonic society.

Barbara Honnegar, author of 'October Surprise' believes that both Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger were key members of P2.

P2 was reportedly a fascist movement with links to the mafia.

http://www.puritans.net/ingodsname / http://rigorousintuition.blogspot.com


John Paul II

After John Paul I's death:

1) Karol Wojtlya, allegedly the CIA's candidate, was elected as John Paul II.

2) John Paul II reportedly "sat" on the banking scandal.

3) Ronald Reagan allegedly bailed out the Vatican Bank with $300 million of "discretionary CIA funds."

4) Church canon law was changed in 1982 so that membership in the Freemasons was no longer grounds for excommunication from the Church of Rome.


Gelli

There was no autopsy performed on John Paul I.

Reportedly, many members of "P2", the secret Masonic society, carry with them a fatal dose of digitalis - on the advice of the society's founder, Licio Gelli.


Calvi

In 1982, P2 member Roberto Calvi was found hanged under Blackfriars Bridge in London, shortly before 1 billion dollars was found to be missing from the Vatican-owned Banco Ambrosiano.

Some think the Mafia murdered him.

Others think that Gelli, the Grand Master of P2, had him murdered.

Others think that the secret society so highly thought of by John Paul II - Opus Dei, did it.

Many of the CIA are reportedly members of Opus Dei.


From Barbara Honegger's 'October Surprise':

When the Italian police raided (P2 Lodge founder) Gelli's home in March 1981, it was Michael Ledeen who, at the instigation of Alexander Haig and Henry Kissinger, offered to buy the list of 953 P2 members in an apparent attempt to keep it from becoming public.

Henry Kissinger had reportedly sent Ledeen to Italy to try to squash an investigation into his and Haig's involvement in the founding of P2.

Emanuela

15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi disappeared in Rome.

What is the Vatican's sinister secret behind teenager Emanuela.‎

According to a phone caller to a TV program: ''To find the solution to the case, go and see who's buried in the crypt of the basilica of Sant'Apollinare.''


Poletti

The caller implied that Emanuela had been kidnapped as a favour to Cardinal Ugo Poletti.

The motive was said to be sexual.

De Pedis allegedly supplied teens to cardinals for sex.


De Pedis.

Mob boss, Enrico De Pedis was buried in a diamond-encrusted tomb in the central Roman Basilica of Sant’Apollinare, beside the Opus Dei University of the Holy Cross.

On 14 May 2012, police forensic experts exhumed the tomb.

They found hundreds of bones in an ossuary nearby in the crypt.



Some people believe that the Mob boss de Pedis was the son of Cardinal Poletti, the Vicar of Rome, who was very close to former Italian prime minister Giulio Andreotti.

De Pedis reportedly was involved in the CIA's Operation Gladio, which carried out acts of terrorism in Italy.

WiFi + USB Drive = Your Own Mini-Internet (Freedom)

Tony Cartalucci, Contributor
Activist Post

Worried about draconian Internet laws? Creeping surveillance? The inability to share with others without being criminalized? The Internet is still a tool of tremendous power, but a deep rot has set in. We have caught it early and we are fighting to stop this rot, but there are other options we can begin exploring to hedge our bets, enhance our current efforts of fighting against corporate monopolies, and eventually, build an Internet of the people, by the people, for the people - big-telecom monopolies not welcomed.

Image: The PirateBox in use on a handheld device. Once the PirateBox is up and running, either on a standalone device like the one pictured to the right (background), or on your laptop as described here, it will appear as another WiFi network for people in range to connect to. Once connected files can be freely shared, and there is even a chat client users can communicate with. It is just as useful as a file server for a small business, as it is for circumventing the draconian criminalization of Internet file sharing.

In last week's "Fighting Back Against the "Intellectual Property" Racket," the "PirateBox" was introduced. The PirateBox transforms a laptop, router, or single board computer into a mini-Internet hub where files can be freely shared, and even features a chat program so users can communicate.

It is a lite version of the mesh networks described in December 2012's "Decentralizing Telecom" where independent mesh networks featured many software alternatives to emulate popular online programs such as Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, and others. The PirateBox is an introductory project anyone with a WiFi adapter and a USB thumbdrive can do on their own with a little motivation and an hour to experiment.

In a busy office, a PirateBox can serve as a simple local wireless file server and chat client. In an apartment complex, it can become the center of a social experiment, an opportunity to reach out to neighbors and organize constructively, or just for fun - building badly needed local communities back up.

Instructions for perhaps the easiest of PirateBox's implementations can be found on blogger, designer, and activist David Darts' website here. The instructions are nearly foolproof, and a lot of the common problems ran into are described and their solutions linked to throughout the explanation.

The PirateBox does not connect to the Internet, nor does it operate from your hard drive. It works entirely on the USB thumbdrive you install it on, simply using your computer's WiFi to network all who are in range.

Ideally you'd want to make a dedicated, standalone PirateBox to serve your space, office, and neighbors. A great place for beginners to embark on this is at your local hackerspace. If you don't have a local hackerspace, look into starting one up.

Protesting is important, but protesting alone will not stem the problem at its source. The rot will continue to spread unless we develop tangible tools to pragmatically excise it and repair the damage it has already done.

The problem of corporate monopolies ensnaring and subjugating us through their telecom monopolies can and is being solved by solutions like mesh networks, the PirateBox, and the onward march of open source software and hardware, simply displacing proprietary products and services. The best way to ensure success is to have as many informed and constructive people as possible join in the problem-solving process.

Since posting about the PirateBox, LocalOrg has received several success stories of people who have either already been using it, or have looked into it, prompting this follow up. Continue sharing your success, and if you would like, contact us and have them covered here on LocalOrg.

Cannabis and Movies: A History of Contradiction

The Changing Media View of Cannabis

Cannabis and its legality are never far from the fore of political and societal debate. There are those who argue for the medically approved usage, those for complete decriminalisation and legalisation and those who staunchly oppose the use of marijuana in any way shape or form.
However, it is the ever changing social view that guides this ebbing and flowing tide of argument that has seen the debate never yet put to bed.
One of the best ways to gain an insight into the changing view of cannabis is in the media and movies have for the last century played a major part in portraying the cultural views of the time whether through documentation, scaremongering and even comedy…

The Horrors of REEFER!!!

It wasn’t until the early days of the 20^th century that proper legislation was brought into place that identified that cannabis was a harmful intoxicant and was made illegal. Even still it was widely used in the United States and the variant hemp was still used in industry for ship rigging, animal feed, textiles and many more things in the 20’s and 30’s. This was when the media would strike a major blow to the cannabis culture.
The most prominent anti cannabis film of the time was Reefer Madness (released in 1936). This film has been widely criticised in recent years due to its absurd scaremongering tactics and close ties to the logging industry. This was less an informative piece and more of an exploitative slander piece against the use of hemp over wood in industry.
This and a variety of other bizarre exploitation films from this time such as “Marihuana” and “Assassin of Youth” paint cannabis smoking in a hysterical and usually bizarre light with results ranging from becoming psychopathic rapists to fuelling kidnapping and abandoning children.
All of this worked to fuel a strong anti cannabis propaganda movement at the time that was actually quite effective. The Reefer Madness film also spawned the derogatory term ‘Reefer Addict’.

Your Country Needs YOU… to Grow Weed!

In a bizarrely self-contradictory decade, the 40’s saw a continuation of the anti-pot propaganda coupled with a government funded plea for farmers to grow hemp on mass.
The film “Hemp for Victory” was created by the United States government during World War 2 that actively encouraged farmers to grow crops of hemp to help with the war effort. It seemed that the evils of hemp and cannabis went right out of the window when they could be of some use. Hemp marijuana seeds were dispersed throughout the states in accordance with this film that basically said “We need weed to win the war.”
Once the war effort was over and freedom saved, it seems appropriately hypocritical for American media to go back to telling you what you can’t and shouldn’t do when “She Shoulda Said No!” or “The Devils Weed” was released in 1949.

Misconceptions Go Up in Smoke

It wasn’t until almost 30 years later that cannabis would receive any alternate view in popular culture or films, but when it did, people didn’t know what to think.
One of the first movies to show the lighter side of smoking cannabis was Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke movie, the 1978 follow-up to their stand-up and television appearances. Cheech and Chong never made any qualms with the way they were often viewed, the dopey stoners, wasters with more blunts than brain cells.
It didn’t matter as that was part of their charm and they were a part of the changing view of cannabis in regular society. Sure, people had done plenty of it during the 60’s but it had always been kept out of the view of the buttoned down family friendly mainstream.
This was a major change, when cannabis could be spoken about openly and not presented as the monstrous apparition of nightmares.
Stoners were no longer the terrifying reefer addicts out to abduct your children… stoners were funny!

The Cannabis Backdraft

While Cheech and Chong have gone on to be world renowned, they were still marginalised in their time. It would be the 90’s and 2000’s that saw cannabis become an accepted part of society. Already cannabis was smoked in more homes than the government would care to admit but the acceptance of it as common culture in the media really carried some weight.
Films like Half Baked, How High and Pineapple Express may all have been comedies but to a degree they were part of the more open and honest portrayal of cannabis in the media. Films like Dazed and Confused while also comedic in some aspects painted a picture of the adolescent purgatory of the teenage years that was relatable to so many. In what decade previous could pot heads be relatable?

The Informed Stoner

The final piece of the cannabis puzzle seems to after the best part of a century been found, and it is ever so carefully being put into place. No longer simply a mechanism for entertainment, cannabis documentaries are asking questions about why cannabis is illegal, how harmful it really is, the healthcare applications of these medical seeds and why governments are still so staunchly against its decriminalisation.
Documentaries like “Waiting to Inhale”, “In Pot We Trust” and the hilarious yet informative “Super High Me” are finally lifting the lid on cannabis culture and the future potential of this always controversial herb.
Cannabis has been the realm of the farmer, the reefer addict, the patriot, the dopey stoner, the average Joe and finally… the informed individual.
