Mike Ruppert on The History Channel's "Prophets Of Doom" #TributetoMCR

Excellent video.  For an everyday working American, this is a bit alarmist.  For that I say think ahead!, think farther out.  Think 5-10 yrs out.

Hemp vs. Marijuana



Similarities




  • Hemp and marijuana are varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant.

  • They're both illegal to grow in the United States, although hemp products are legal.

  • Both have similar aromas when in bloom.



Differences




  • Smoking marijuana makes the user high. Smoking hemp doesn't. (Hemp contains less than 1 percent of the active ingredient THC, marijuana has 10 to 20 percent.)

  • Marijuana plants tend to be short and bushy, hemp can be as high as 25 feet tall.

  • Marijuana can be used to smoke or eat. Hemp can be used to produce more than 25,000 products.
