Hemp For Victory (Fixed version)

Audio IS IN SYNC on this version, this is the one to download. MPEG1 version is the fixed versions, all the other versions at this URL are rederived versions... problems with all versions but the MPEG1 version, which is fine.

The other version (at the other archive.org URL) has narration-not-synced-to-scene ("including anchor chain" comes several seconds after image of anchor chain, "conestoga wagon covered by canvas" comes before pic of wagon... in this version the scenes match the narration.

Subject: Interesting presentation!
I am in the middle of a project using industrial hemp as the main agricultural focus. This video is actually a very interesting one. I did want to comment on a couple of things the other reviews said though.

1. Hemp is a good screen to prevent cross-pollination of species and was used as such, so there would be very little "dilution" of higher THC crops with the lower THC variety. And if there was a significant chance of cross pollination, that would be a major problem for the farmers of industrial hemp, especially those using it for food stock, as hemp seeds and hemp oil are valuable as a food source as well as being a rich fiber source.

2. Industrial Hemp is legal to grow in the United States providing you have a permit from the DEA to grow it. Unfortunately, getting that permit is proving near impossible. North Dakota is fighting that battle currently as Hemp is certainly the crop of the future especially with the variety of uses and environmental benefits.

Subject: Download the Mpeg1 version
I first downloaded the Mpeg2, but found it was cut very short. The Mpeg1 version is complete, and it's nice to have the sound in sinc finally. Very enjoyable film on what once was an important agricultural product, and hopefully will be in the future, once law enforcement realizes that industrial hemp and pot are mutually exclusive in the field, and there's a good chance that if given the opportunity to cross-pollinate, the high THC cannabis would tend to get diluted-- not good for business in the pot world. Of course, like in Canada and Europe, farmers would have to have a permit to buy seed and grow hemp, so again law enforcement would know who was growing the legal stuff anyway. With so many possibilities from one plant, it's high time (pun not intended) hemp was legalized.

Subject: MEP2 version cut short
The MPEG2 version seems to be cut short. I downloaded 100% but it's only 3:58 long.

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!

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.
