Why Is It Illegal?April 29, 1863- August 14, 1951William Randolph HearstNewspaper chain owner as well as large

investor in timber industryWorried hemp paper would overtake paper

from timberBecame large advocate in fight against

marijuanaPropaganda schemes to frighten public to

seeing the plant as evil“makes a murderer who kills for the love of

killing” – William Randolph Hearst

Alex Albaugh

-Introduce I am going to talk about why it is illegal-State the picture of the man is William Randolph Hearst and when he lived-Read through in order how he went about making it illegal-When I read the quote state that he made many outragous comments just like this in order to scare people from the plant

THC vs. CDBTHC is the psychoactive ingredient in

medicinal marijuana that gets users “high”CBD is an anti-psychoactive ingredient that

is found in the hemp plantsMedical marijuana can have up to 20% THC

and no CBD, where hemp has less than .3% THC and high levels of CBD

Government and DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) refuse to see a difference in the two plants despite the two being as similar as a cousin is to oneself

Alex Albaugh

-Introuce that THC and CDB are the cannabinoids in the marijuana plant and that THC is the one people believe is the bad one-Say that they are very different and THC is in medical MJ and not hemp and CDB is in industrial hemp-read through the different topics and expand beyond just the short-hand info

Can You See the Difference?

Alex Albaugh

-Ask the class if they can tell the difference and show which one is hemp and which one is medical marijuana-state that DEA say they can't see a difference but reinforce that this is the difference in the look to show that the claim is outrageous

The Debate TodayFarmers and politicians are trying to

convince the government as well as the DEA to separate the two plants and allow the cultivation and production of hemp for economic and natural resource benefits

Alex Albaugh

-State I am going to talk about the debate today-Read the debate word for word so they will know exactly what it is that is being fought over

Alex Albaugh

-State that the documentary over the issue is called "Hempsters" and what it is that the documentary is over-Open the link and show the video and then summarize what happened in the trailor

For LegalizationProduce paper- 9 months vs. 20 yearsHemp contains 70% cellulose and paper

contains only 30%CDB is an “anti-marijuana”Marijuana and hemp look very different and

harvest at different times of the year.3% vs. 20%“You would have to smoke a joint the size of a

light pole to get high off hemp”- HempstersUSA would produce instead of consume29 other countries already grow hemp

Alex Albaugh

-Explain I am going to talk about why people for it want it legalized-Explain that 9 months to grow hemp is equivalent to 20 years it takes a tree to grow-Explain what it means that CDB is an anti marijuana and how this could help prevent outdoor growing of smokable marijuana-Explain hemp is .3% THC and medical is 20% THC-explain where i got the quote from and why it is important to the cause-Talk about how other countries grow it and how it would be used to help our economy by not shipping the product in and saving money going to other countries

Against LegalizationWhether “distant cousins” or not, is still

marijuanaClaim no difference in hemp and marijuanaWon’t be able to distinguish differences in

fly oversFarmers will grow high potency plants in

hemp fieldsUse hemp to get highKids will think it is okay to use marijuana

because hemp is legal

Alex Albaugh

Say I am going to tell why people dont want it legalized-Facts are pretty self explanitory so read over them with a little more detail instead of just reading the shortened version

MediationThe kids are most importantTeach the drastic differences and educate

the effects of smoking marijuanaEducate the kids, as well as public, the

differences between THC and CBDEducation is crucial to the movement

Alex Albaugh

-State I am going to propose a mediation-talk about how education is so important and how we would get the education across to the kids as well as society

Mediation Cont.PermitMust have appropriate land and intentionsBackground checks for felonies and drug

related offensesHighly detailed records of growth and saleTaxed accordinglyMust account for how much to be used for

seed, grain, or fibers

Alex Albaugh

-Continue mediation-State growers would need a permit-Continue by teling the demands that would need to be met in order to receive a permit

Mediation Cont.No hemp plant may exceed .3% THCRandom examinations will be made to test

potencyMade clear the law change is for economic

and natural resource benefits onlyRandom flyovers and any suspicious

findings will result in examinationsNo field within 5 miles of a schoolGeographic locations of fields and holding

centers must be given for any necessary examinations

Alex Albaugh

-Continue mediation-Read through the addition requirement that must be met once the permit is received-Talk about how if any regulations are broken how they would be punished
