Project SCAM Forcing Pot Smokers Into “Prehab”

I will not join you, SAM I Am.
I do not need a rehab, SAM.
I will not stop my smoking pot.
So keep your pills, I like them not.

Smart Approaches To Marijuana Would Force All Pot Smokers Into “Prehab”
I will continue to follow the progress of SAM, or as I like to call it, “SAM I Am” (Stealth Approaches for Marijuana-Incarcerating Americans), through a Twitter feed called @SmartApproaches and soon on the websites SmartApproaches.com, SmartApproaches2MJ.com, and SmartApproaches2Marijuana.com. For it seems that even after getting spoofed with VoteNoOnQuestion3.com, Sabet hasn’t learned to snap up spoof Twitter accounts and web domains prior to launch.

Federal Farm Bill Includes Provision Allowing Research on Hemp

Naturally, Kevin Sabet had to get in on the action…

Kevin Sabet, the director of the University of Florida Drug Policy Institute and a former adviser on drug issues for Obama, said...

☀People could easily grow marijuana and hide it under the guise of hemp, frustrating law-enforcement efforts.
☀This is purely a political move to further a pro-marijuana agenda,
☀It has little to do with actually farming hemp, since the demand for that is so low.
☀It’s good politics to claim that allowing this will create jobs. The sad truth is that it will do no such thing.”
☀ Kevin Sabet,
the director of the University of Florida Drug Policy Institution

Not only does he imply that law enforcement is too stupid to do their job, but he appears to be running off his mouth without even knowing the contents of the bill. He really gets more pathetic (and desperate) by the day.

“In 2011,” A.P. notes, “the U.S. imported $11.5 million worth of legal hemp products, up from $1.4 million in 2000.”

OK so who is picking numbers out of hats?

As a result, Canadian hemp acres have increased dramatically over the last several years.

High on Hemp

Thank SAM… How can they be homeless, if they can grow homes? D’oh!

Can I use hemp as a building material and to insulate my house?

Since it’s still illegal to cultivate hemp, many U.S. suppliers are forced to import industrial hemp products. And the price for importing hemp building materials can be staggering,

Hurds
Approximately 70-80% of the stalk is composed of hurds or the woody inner portion.
Essentially, hurds are the by-products of extracting the bast fibers from the stalk. Hurds are 50- 70% cellulose, lending itself to paper, particle board, biodegradable plastics, and animal bedding(most of the hemp grown in the United Kingdom is for the horse industry) uses.

Seeds and Oil
Similar to soybeans, pressed hemp seeds are comprised of seed oil and seed cake (or meal). The seed is approximately 30-35% oil by weight and can be used for: food (the oil is over 70% polyunsaturated or cholesterol-fighting essential fatty acids and contains all 8 essential amino acids); fuel (mixed with 15% methanol for fuel 70% cleaner than petroleum diesel); and paints and varnishes. The seed cake contains 25% protein and can be used as a supplement to wheat flour. The whole seeds can be eaten (20% high-quality digestible complete protein) by humans and used for bird seed.

Fiber
Hemp stalk averages around 20-30% bast fiber (the strong woody fiber obtained chiefly from the phloem of plants). The basic markets for bast fibers include specialty textiles, papers (including specialty and recycled papers) and cordage (such as rope). Specialty papers include teabag paper, cigarette paper, carbon tissues and condensing tissues.

Confused About Power to Reschedule Pot, Advocates Say

Rescheduling and libertarian derangement syndrome dwr

 

Speaking of pathetic…dwr cont...

Check out the new billboard ad from Project SAM set to compete with the Marijuana Policy Project billboards:


It’s pathetic in a number of ways, not the least of which is the amateurish design.

According to the press release:

The ad is funded by Policy Solutions Group, Inc., a consulting company headed up by Dr. Sabet that sponsors Project SAM.

Based on an internet search for Policy Solutions Group, Inc., it appears that the company essentially only exists in Kevin’s bio. So who is funding Kevin?

Oh, and guess what? Now Kevin wants to compete with Marijuana Majority

Sabet says SAM soon will unveil a new site of its own that will clarify who’s against legalization.

Drug Worrier Kevin Sabet Gets Punk’d

Anybody who’s been involved in marijuana policy during the past, oh, 42 years, knows about scheduling...

Of course, having marijuana on Schedule 1 has led to serious real harms,

What more needs to be said? Now it is time to spotlight those who will not give up their profits on the harm they cause. Remove them from doing harm. Now they drag out old gossip about hemp and ganja. Before the internet can take you to a website to buy the products they insist don't exist. The Buck Doesn't Stop Here eh Barry?

Not because of sound science, but because of its absence
marijuana was classified as a schedule 1 substance. Again, the year was 1970. Egeberg mentions studies that are underway, but many were never completed. As my investigation continued, however, I realized Egeberg did in fact have important research already available to him, some of it from more than 25 years earlier.

"You're enough of a pro," Nixon tells Shafer, "to know that for you to come out with something that would run counter to what the Congress feels and what the country feels, and what we're planning to do, would make your commission just look bad as hell."

☛"Marijuana does not lead to physical dependency, although some evidence indicates that the heavy, long-term users may develop a psychological dependence on the drug"

☛Abrupt withdrawal does not lead to a specific or reproducible abstinence syndrome and physical dependence has not been demonstrated in man or in animals.

☛The anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and other non-specific symptoms of withdrawal are very similar in kind and intensity to those experienced by compulsive cigarette smokers.

☛Although the distress of withdrawal exerts a very strong psychogenic drive to continue use, fear of withdrawal is, in most cases, not adequate to inspire immediate criminal acts to obtain the drug.

The… African native… ‘has a peculiar propensity towards drug addiction. It has been said that he is a born drug addict… his essentially passive temperament leaves him without defense against temptation. He lives from day to day, at the mercy of his instincts and desires. He has no idea of making provision for the future, and abandons himself to the satisfaction of his immediate needs. … Owing to his lack of mental and moral powers of resistance, the native soon falls into the state of decline and moral decay which follows too wholesale or long an indulgence in drugs. Similarly, his entirely instinctive way of life, the fact that his behavior is dictated solely by immediate reaction, and his fundamentally impulsive nature, soon give to his crises of intoxication a violent and tragic character’.

The effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (cannabis) on cardiac performance with and without beta blockade.
These findings suggest that delta-9-THC enhanced cardiac performance.

Abstract 3829: Cannabidiol Attenuates Myocardial Dysfunction, Fibrosis, Inflammation, Cell Death and Interrelated Signaling Pathways Associated With Diabetic Cardiomyopathy

Attenuation is the opposite of amplification…

Clinical Investigation and Reports:
Triggering Myocardial Infarction by Marijuana
however, whether it can trigger the onset of myocardial infarction is unknown.

Recurrent Stress Cardiomyopathy With Variable Regional Involvement
It is uncertain if exogenous cannabis intake can simulate endocannabinoids or alter endocannabinoid pathways. Cardiovascular adverse events are relatively infrequent with cannabis in comparison with other drugs of abuse like cocaine. Specifically, cardiomyopathy has not been previously reported with cannabis.
