It is sad how marijuana has come to be associated with the devil himself... Thanks to the reefer madness movies, a whole generation brainwashed by government propaganda :(

The largest file (MPEG1) worked for me fine!

Subject: Interesting presentation of the subject

The title says it all: hemp has high value - as a fiber crop. The issue of narcotics is not discussed (apart from noting that famers need a "marihuana growing" permit). While not endorsing the use of cannabis as a drug in any way, this film reflects interesting differences in cannabis public policy prior to the 1960s.

EXCELLENT FILM PUT TOGETHER BY THE US DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ABOUT HEMP THAT TELLS FARMERS HOW TO CULTIVATE IT. I LEARNED A THING OR TWO ABOUT HEMP WATCHING THIS FILM.

WOODY HARRELSON WAS RECENTLY IN TROUBLE FOR AN ACT OF DISSENT FOR PLANTING 4 HEMP SEEDS IN 1996, KNOWING HE WOULD BE ARRESTED, SO HE COULD CHALLENGE LAWS AGAINST GROWING HEMP, AT THE COURT TRIAL, THE FORMER GOVERNER OF KENTUCKY LOUIE NUNN GAVE THE CLOSING ADDRESS IN HIS DEFENCE...

``Now it's time to start promoting the growth of hemp so we can have a great economic future in Kentucky,'' Nunn said. ``We need to educate people about the distinction between marijuana and hemp.

``We're already losing tobacco and farmers are suffering, and this would be an alternative crop. I'm looking forward to 20 years from now, when someone here will be processing hemp and making it into clothes, shoes and other products.''

NOW, WHEN IS THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES GOING TO LEGALIZE THIS VALUABLE ASSET SO THAT WE MIGHT HAVE MORE DOMESTIC PRODUCTS THAT USE THE STRONG HEMP FIBER?

WRITE YOUR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES AND LET THEM KNOW ABOUT THIS MOVIE, SURELY THEY CANNOT DISPUTE THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS FILM, IT WAS MADE BY THE GOVERNMENT THEMSELVES.

I GIVE THE FILM 4 STARS, ALTHOUGH THE CONTENT IS GREAT, IT COULD ALSO TALK ABOUT THE OTHER USES OF HEMP SUCH AS PAPER AND CLOTHING.
