    About this ebook

    A pocket-sized book that serves as a reminder of the many surprising facts about the medicinal and environmental value of cannabis sativa.
    The hemp revolution is happening, despite the efforts of politicians and law-enforcement agencies to stop it. Medical marijuana initiatives on the ballots in California and Arizona passed with overwhelming support. All around the globe this miracle plant is creating industries for food, fuel, clothing, housing, and paper that are beneficial to both humanity and the environment. Designed to fit into the back pocket of your hemp jeans, The Hemp Manifesto offers 101 ways that hemp is making a positive impact on society, and explains why in brief summaries simple enough for even congressional representatives to understand. Included are all the most surprising facts about the plant--how the Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper; how the U.S. government grows marijuana and supplies it to eight people free of charge; how hemp seeds are the most complete source of protein and essential fatty acids known in the vegetable kingdom; and many more. The Hemp Manifesto gives the people their most important weapon in the fight for a healthy future: the truth.
    Small and affordable--a perfect small gift.
    Wars of disinformation are still being waged against this useful plant and its industries, and the real facts can be difficult to find. The Hemp Manifesto prints the simple truth.

      SAVING THE FOREST

      The industrial world’s hunger for wood has already destroyed 97 percent of the mature forests of North America and the rest of the world’s forests are following close behind. Not only are forests the key to preventing loss of topsoil and pollution of waterways, they are also home to most of the world’s terrestrial species and the source of much of the world’s oxygen.

      Half the trees cut down are used to make paper products, yet hemp could provide for all our paper needs. An acre of hemp yields four times as much fiber as an acre of trees, and no wildlife is destroyed in the process. With hemp we can feed our paper industry and let the forests regenerate at the same
