Industrial Hemp Production in Canada
In Canada, growing hemp is boring, and the Canadian government publishes long, monotonous tomes on how to grow and make money off it.

Here In the Occupied Territories, Western Command (formerly known as America), growing industrial hemp is a FELONY CRIME.

Industrial Hemp Production in Canada

[link to www1.agric.gov.ab.ca]

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa) is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world. The species was banned in North America in late 1930s because its leaves and flowers contained a hallucinogenic drug known as delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It was banned internationally in 1961 under the United Nations’ Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. Hemp does suffer from the “snicker factor”, largely because of its hippy-dippy image and close association with marijuana, its conscious-altering cousin.

Effective March 12, 1998, the commercial production (including cultivation) of industrial hemp is now permitted in Canada, under licenses and authorization, issued by Health Canada. This action was prompted by several years of field research and lobbying by the agricultural and business community. Prior to 1998, there were only a handful of licenses issued to grow industrial hemp in Canada. In 1998, the first year after Health Canada opened up the licensing process, 241 licenses were issued. These licensees grew almost 2 370 hectares (5,857 acres) of hemp for industrial use. In 1999, the number of applications to grow hemp jumped dramatically to 545 with the area of hemp production increasing six-fold to nearly 14 031 hectares (34,657 acres). It looked as though the industrial hemp was well on its way to becoming the "Cinderella" crop in Canada. However, events in the summer of 1999, i.e., the demise of the perspective hemp processing company in Manitoba, changed the outlook for hemp production in Canada.

The number of licensees decreased by over 53 percent to 255 and area by almost 63 percent to 5 487 hectares (13,553 acres) in 2000. In 2001, industrial hemp acreage further decreased very dramatically to 1 316 hectares (3,250 acres). In 2002, production of industrial hemp showed an increase of 16 percent to 1 530 hectares (3,778 acres). Then in 2003, the area licensed to produce industrial hemp again increased by almost 79 percent to 2 733 hectares (6,750 acres) but this was still nowhere near the 1999 level (See Table below). It appears that interest in producing industrial hemp is again coming back. In 2004, area licensed for industrial hemp production increased by 28 percent over in 2003 to 3 531 hectares (8,721 acres).

America's totally bogus and artificially contrived "fuel crisis" could be easily solved by powering our diesel truck fleets, locomotives, ships, electric power plants, and cars with locally grown and refined hemp oil.

If America fueled it's industrial machine with hemp, there would be no more excuses for us to get involved in Middle Eastern wars.

Americans would obviously rather let their government turn them into slaves, kill people who never did anything to them, and live in fear of imaginary boogeymen than solve their problems using common sense.

It's time to hold the heirs of companies like Dupont and Rubbermaid responsible for the toxic poisoning of our planet by their oil based plastics that have accumulated to the point of being continent size garbage patches in our oceans killing marine life and birds. All of that would not have happened had we continued making safe biodegradable products out of hemp that would contribute to via compost and not kill our environment.

What a load of bollox, and I'll tell ya for why...

Here in the UK right now I can go to a garden centre and buy Opium Poppy seeds, I can grow them seeds and i can harvest and dry the flowers, I can even eat so many poppy seeds that I would fail a drug test....In fact the only thing illegal about growing Opium Poppies is the act of making Heroin.

So what does that tell you about Hemp.....It was made illegal to favour other industries, and the Hallucinogenic effect is just a bogeyman to give some validity to the ban, though in reality THC is less toxic than Alcohol / Nicotine or Caffeine.

Re: Industrial Hemp Production in Canada
the legalization of hemp is about control, not freedom.

And perhaps you could replace fossil oil with hemp oil - but WHY????

There are tens of thousands of years supply of fossil oil reserves on this planet.
The lie that it's environmentally dangerous is absolute BS.


Think about the Prohibition period in the USA.
Hundreds of people were making and selling alcohol. The government wasn't getting their cut. So -- they created the Prohibition movement and then made it illegal - KNOWING they were going to eventually legalize it again but under LICENSING and TAXING strategies.

Same thing here with hemp/pot.

Farming isn't boring. You have to have products like fleece for spinning and insulation and building blocks, bio fuel, and then there is the food seeds.

Market the hell out of it.

Has to be many varieties of ditch weed. Nobody talks heirloom or gives any names. All just hemp. Some grow very tall and reaching, huge plants.
