Hemp Farmers Plant Hemp Seeds at DEA Headquarters

February 7th, 2010 | by admin |

In act of civil disobedience, hemp farmers plant hemp seeds at DEA headquarters.

It wasn’t just civil disobedience in front of the cameras. After the HIA convention ended, hempsters headed for Capitol Hill, where dozens of people attended over 20 scheduled meetings with representatives of their staffs to lobby for the Frank-Paul hemp bill. Some unannounced, unscheduled meetings also took place.

We’re beginning a new chapter of hemp activism, and there needs to be a lot more of this stuff. Civil disobedience has to be part of a comprehensive campaign in the courts, in Congress, and out on the streets, in front of DEA offices all over the country.

If the hemp movement indeed adopts further civil disobedience actions, it will have added another prong to its multi-prong strategy of pressing for the end of the prohibition on industrial hemp planting in the US. It might be time for other segments of the drug reform movement to start thinking about civil disobedience, too.

    The corporations …
    The corporations raise robot pigs to do their bidding for them because they can’t see industrialized hemp as a huge aid and benefit for their industrial needs. To the contrary, they view it as a competing enemy. But if you can’t beat them, join ‘em, and this is the true desitny of our God-given hemp and medical or even partying cannabis and I personally predict complete legalization within the year 2012 or thereabouts.
