Recently Alaine Lowell wrote an article that caught my attention. The article in the Pasadena Weekly entitled A New World Order, Some good things to expect with the legalization of marijuana is the last in a series of pieces on the topic of hemp cannabis.
Get the picture? Industrial Hemp is Jobs, Medical Marijuana is health care and Recreational Cannabis should be embraced, not punished.
It’s the year 2020 and marijuana and its industrial cousin, hemp, have now been legal for 10 years. The thousands of new businesses and industries based on these eco-friendly plants are reaping historic profits, and California leads the nation and the world in agriculture and manufacturing. The unemployment rate is at .02 percent and the threat of global warming has successfully been put on hold because of America’s steady transformation from an oil-based to a plant-based economy.
There hasn’t been a war since 2012 and the savings has been put into public education, which includes the special work program developed for the tens of thousands of nonviolent drug war prisoners released in 2011 who have successfully assimilated back into society and entered the workforce. The new “green” economy has reduced pollutants in the air, soil and food, which, in turn, has resulted in a healthier population. And because of the tax surplus we now enjoy, health care is available and affordable for every man, woman and child in the United States.
Hemp heal the earth!
The millions of acres of hemp being grown worldwide have created enough nutrient-rich hemp seed to provide food for the starving people all over the planet, and on Jan. 1, 2020, the United Nations officially declared the end of world hunger.
The recreational use of marijuana has supplanted alcohol in popularity, leading to a largest reduction in crime, violence and highway deaths in the nation’s recorded history. The United States has been heralded as a shining example for the rest of the world’s economies. How it all happened is described below.
The article goes on into detail about other green future visions the author has, as well as addressing facts and common misconceptions. I just cannot imagine California being the leader in agriculture and manufacturing, but just another reason for Wisconsin to move FORWARD, quickly. As marijuana laws change from coast to coast, some states will be left behind and some states will benefit the most. A great piece and excellent way to end the series! Click here for entire article.
