Cureworks in association with the USA Hemp Museum have submitted a third video for the Willie Nelson Peace Video Contest in their series Hemp for Victory. This video series from the USA Hemp Museum focuses on how hemp is a peaceful solution to many of the problems we as a nation and world face today.

The first video gives us a peaceful solution by introducing us to the idea of the possibilities available with the most useful plant on the planet. The second video offers a peaceful solution for global warming by using hemp as biofuel.

Hemp has a multiplicity of uses that could help this country economically in many ways. China supplies our local hemp store with all their clothes and accessories. A market exists for hemp clothing. We could employ people in the United States growing and manufacturing hemp products.

Why are we importing hemp products from China?

The local health food store sells Canadian hemp products like hemp nuts, hemp nut butter, hemp oil, high quality hemp protein powders, hemp milk, hemp bread products and hemp energy bars all at a premium price. Supplying the same hemp products in the United States will create more jobs for United States citizens.

Canada is also manufacturing hemp pharmaceuticals. I don’t need to tell you the huge profits associated with pharmaceuticals.

Why are we importing hemp products from Canada?

Hemp oil will run in diesel engines right now. Ethanol from hemp biomass will run in many engines on the road right now.

Corn is the worst plant to grow for ethanol. The conversion rate is poor. Scientists have proven corn growing in the Midwest contributes to the Dead Zone in the Caribbean Sea created by the pesticide, herbicide and fertilizer run off from the Mississippi River. When corn production goes up the Dead Zone gets larger.

Hemp doesn’t need poisons to grow.

This country has vacant land, displaced farmers and a mass of unemployed people ready to implement hemp production and manufacturing. Hemp is not only a peaceful solution it is good for United States on-shore business and the entire United States economy.

What are we waiting for?

A PEACEFUL SOLUTION: THE PEACE PIPE HEMP - HEMP FOR VICTORY is set to Willie and Amy Nelson’s song A Peaceful Solution.

Covered are global warming (turn your exhaust pipe into a peace pipe with biofuel), health solutions (stress kills - hemp reduces stress) and laughter vs. violence (2 lbs. each for world peace - one for personal stash - other consumed with an “enemy.” Discuss and implement peaceful solutions).

We’ve made the peace pipe illegal and wonder why we have a problem with violent crime. A PEACEFUL SOLUTION: THE PEACE PIPE HEMP - HEMP FOR VICTORY is offered as a prayer from the USA Hemp Museum, Richard M. Davis, curator, for all good souls to achieve the angels call for ‘peace on earth to men of good will.’
