From Uncle John's Legendary Lost Bathroom Reader: While US hemp was temporarily legal (during wartime), it saved the life of a young pilot named George Bush (Sr.), who was forced to bail out of his burning airplane after a battle over the pacific. At the time he didn't know that: -Parts of his aircraft engine were lubricated with hemp seed oil. -His life-saving parachute webbing was made entirely of US homegrown hemp. -Virtually all the rigging and ropes of the ship that rescued him were made of hemp. -The fire hose's on the ship were woven from hemp. Ironically, President Bush consistantly opposed decriminalizing hemp grown in the US. ha...I recommend reading the artical titled 'reefer madness', It discuss's the conspiracy behind cannabis prohibition in the US...quite interesting
You see the thing is, he would still be here without hemp. They would have just used a more expensive material. That's like the whole "if so and so wouldn't have been around we wouldn't have this and that" Sure we would, someone else would have invented it.
its an interesting story but it doesn't prove much. i mean its just as possible that gwb woulnd't be alive if the holocaust hadn't happened, or some other terrible thing... you wouldn't expect him to be in favor of that. basically your point is right tho, their opposition to cannabis is ridiculous and outdated and needs to be changed.
I just wanna slap both of the silly Bush fools... And smoke pot legally... I am a non-legal medicinal user... although my state may be changing that in the coming years if all goes well.. Back pain, insomnia, depression, anxiety issues... the mighty cannabis helps me in so many ways... Mary needs to be free.
yeah the storys just meant for a laugh...didn't really try to make a statement or anything... but yes both Bush's are full of shit...along with many many other government agencys and politicians
