All the more reason people should be eating hemp foods, using hemp creams, salves and balms for overall good health.

This is also another reason why the house of hemp should not be divided into different camps, such as industrial, recreational and medical hempsters.

Evolution has provided humanity with a plant that, as nearly ideal as possible, provides for all basic needs.

There's no reason for hemp to be classified as a schedule 1 substances under the Controlled Substances Act. Congress needs to remove it from there, and place all things hemp under the Department of Agriculture where it belongs.

Neither should American universities be denied to the right to grow, research, test and market their own hemp products. How recreational hemp is controlled should be left to state governments.

Hemp is not an enumerated item in the Constitution. For Congress to claim that hemp is contained in the Commerce Clause of the Constitution (Art 1, § 8, Clause 3) is a perversion of the Constitution.

According to cannabis-smoking James Madison, the states have a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over hemp. Madison wrote in Federalist Paper 39:

the proposed government cannot be deemed a NATIONAL one; since its jurisdiction extends to certain enumerated objects only, and leaves to the several States a residuary and inviolable sovereignty over all other objects.

The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only legitimate object of good government.

— Thomas Jefferson

"Collectively, these findings strongly support the idea that the combination of cannabinoid and non-cannabinoid compounds, as present in extracts, provide significant advantages... compared with pure cannabinoids alone."
Marinol is a man made cannabinoid that lacks ALL of the remaining compounds. I have severe Epilepsy. This has led me to loose my drivers license, and work because of my seizure frequency. But all that changed when I started smoking marijuana. I have been seizure free for more than 6mos. My life has improved, and I havent woke up on the ground somewhere with people asking me if I am some kind of drug addict. NOR have I had someone try to "prevent you from swollowing your tongue.
For everyones info... IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SWALLOW YOUR TONGUE!!! STOP PUTTING STUFF IN EPILEPTICS MOUTHS!!! I even had a paramedic complain to me that I bit his fingers!!! DUMBASS!!! I was unconscious!!!! CHECK WRISTS AND NECKS FOR MEDICAL INFO!!!!!!!!!!

The Marinol add makes me a bit queasy...

I approve of the medicinal use of marijuana, though, the way to use it is not smoking it nor taking Marinol.

Lighting anything with fire is a chemical reaction called combustion. Combustion releases the THC from the marijuana, but it also releases harmful toxins from the air such as Carbon Monoxide which destroy your lungs.

Marinol is extracted THC combined with Aspirin. It's horrible for you and it's beacuse they leave out all the other cannabinoids which allow THC to work properly.

The true and best way to use marijuana medically is when it's made into an oil. This not being the oil made from the seeds, but the oil made from the plant and buds. Hemp Seed Oil is very nutritional, but contains no cannabinoids! Hemp Oil when made properly contains a concentrated amount of cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are the medcine.

Cancer as well as many other diseases have been cured with this medicine, and the man who's behind it all is Rick Simpson. Rick Simpson made a film about this called, Run From the Cure. This 7 part video can be found at www.youtube.com/chrychek or www.phoenixtears.ca.

Thank you for your time.
