Green Living in 2023

By Rhea R Graham

GREEN LIVING AND CANNABIS SATIVA REALLY DO GO HAND IN HAND. HEAR ME OUT PLEASE! Cannabis, grown for hemp, can be used to make plastics that are biodegradable as well as the strongest fiber available for fabric, rope and much more. The pulp also makes the best quality paper which can be recycled more than twice as many times as tree-pulp. Why aren’t we using this God-given blessing instead of man-made products that are ruining our Earth as well as our bodies? Simple answer – true as it gets, greed. “This is why we can’t have nice things!”

Probably the best example of green living using Cannabis is the automobile that Henry Ford produced in 1941. According to the New York Times (February 2, 1941) the vehicle was lighter than fiberglass and ten times tougher than steel! Being made of hemp, flax, wheat and spruce pulp, it was green well before its time. The engine was fueled with ethanol made from hemp or other agricultural waste. Due to World War II, this car never went into production. Crazy, why wasn’t it produced after the war? Same reason, greed.

There are literally thousands of uses for Cannabis Sativa and all of them create a better product that is less harmful to our home planet than the current choices we are making. If you read the history on the prohibition of Cannabis, it is clear how the greed, corruptness and racist characteristics of William Randolph Hearst, Harry Anslinger, Andrew Mellon, and the DuPont Company drove this plant back underground. For the complete history, read the book, “The Emperor Wears no Clothes” by

Jack Herer. It can be checked out at our Lending Library at Albany’s Canna Kitchen & Research and ACKR Clinic or through your local city/county/college library.

We are having our annual our seed, plant, and clone exchange at Albany’s Canna Kitchen & Research on Tuesday, March 21, 2023 from 2-5 pm. Call 541-9812620 to RSVP and to learn more. My goal is to plant a seed and help you to see the truth about this plant and its incredible potential. It’s the best natural medicine we have available, for starters.
