I think Mr. Eddy Lepp appeared in a Federal Court today. Many of you know, he is facing 5 life sentences for growing an estimated 32,000 cannabis plants in my beloved county of Lake...

Mr. Lepp is very close associate of Jack Herer, who has taken me under his family's wing. I don't see the Mr. & Mrs. too often, but I know that if I call, I am always welcomed...One time I did go to visit Mr. and Mrs. H. and he gave me a copy of his book, The Emporer Wears New Clothes...When he signed it, he asked me if I would help spread the word...I felt so badly that I have been sitting here for more than a couple of decades because so many have taken a rap for people like me...I asked Mr. H. how I could rectify this apathy? He simply said to me, Melodious, don't feel remorseful...You are like so many others who chose the family way...but if you would kindly take my Book and words and share them. Here I am...

Please bear with me, becasue the message is long and will have to be posted in segments...

Thank you for listening and caring enough to help us care about our web...peace.

For the last 35 years, my friends, the late Captain Ed Adair, Buddy Duzy, George Clayton Johnson, and I realized that only Hemp could save the World! We set out to teach the world all the things about Hemp that had been covered up by our own government! All the people who have read my book, or read it online, or other Hemp books, realized that Hemp is the only thing to reverse the Greenhouse Effect! Only solar, wind, geothermal and Hemp, etc. can save the world. Fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas) will be a thing of the past. Virtually all trees will be left in the ground forever. We only have 4% of the trees left, by volume and weight, on Earth as we did 125 years ago. Other than the oceans, trees are the biggest carbon sinks - to reverse the Greenhouse effect!! Remember, we have 4% of trees now, and getting smaller! Houses and building materials are being made from Hemp, including fiber board, wallboard, paneling, insulation, wood-like beams (stronger than wood). Hemp seeds are the 1 healthiest food on Earth, with complete globular protein edestins; essential fatty acids, linoleic and linolenic, in the best form on EARTH!

30% or more of all medicines (125 years ago) were made from Cannabis. In the near future, 30% or more of medicines will be made from natural Hemp/Marijuana. In 6,000 years of recorded history, there has never been one death due to Cannabis Hemp - unless they were shot by a COP! 60% to 80% of everything was made from Cannabis Hemp 6,000 years ago up until around 100 years ago: for example, clothes, rugs, drapes, curtains, diapers, canvas, string, rope, sails, houses, cars, etc... I did not learn one word about Hemp in grade school, high school or college! Isn't it strange that the 1 medicine, the 1 fiber, the 1 food, the 1 fuel, the 1 paper and the 1 substitute for wood can be made from Hemp and it is illegal!! Doesn't it make you mad as hell! You live longer if you use Cannabis Hemp internally. You live about 2 years longer on life if you smoke a little in the morning and a little at night. If you smoke and also eat the seeds you live about 3-4 years longer on top of that. It is the healthiest plant for the ground and air. Cannabis Hemp is the only known plant that can be grown from the Equator to the Arctic and Antarctic Circles; from the mountains to the valleys, from the oceans to the plains, including arid lands and everywhere in between. Cannabis Hemp is the healthiest plant for the ground out of the 300,000 known species, and the millions and millions of subspecies of plants on Earth, because it has a root system that grows 10 to 12 inches in 30 days compared to one inch for rye, barley grass, etc. The roots penetrate up to 3, 6 and even 10 feet deep, pulverizing the soil and making it arable. After harvest it leaves a root system that is mulched into the ground, revitalizing the land and making it live once again. It is the KING KONG of the King Kongs of all plant life.

We are circulating petitions to put the California Cannabis Hemp and Health Initiative on the state's ballot for November 2008. This will repeal criminal and civil penalties for Cannabis and ban drug testing for metabolites. It will decriminalize the cultivation, distribution, and possession of Hemp entirely! One provision in the petition will order the immediate release from jail and prison of all non-violent Cannabis Hemp offenders. Including 27,000 or more Californians that violated probation or parole for positive metabolites from marijuana. The initiative needs 434,000 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot (750,000 all together); signature gathering continues through April 15, 2008. This initiative will legalize Cannabis Hemp, within the state of California, for (a) industrial products, (b) medicinal preparations, (c) nutritional products, (d) religious and spiritual products, and (e) recreational and euphoric use 21 and older, with no restrictions, and no one will ever go to jail again because of it. It provides for amnesty, immediate release from prison, jail, parole, and probation, and clearing, expungement, and deletion of all criminal records for all persons currently charged with, or convicted of any non-violent Cannabis Hemp marijuana offense.

It prohibits the testing for inert and/or residual Cannabis metabolites for the purpose of employment or other impairment.

A few of my friends and I have sponsored 16 initiatives in California, Oregon, Washington and Alaska. We got 8 of them on the ballot, with 5 of them passing. We have never asked for money in 35 years. We used our own money entirely. We need your money to get it on the ballot this time. If you don't, I still have 16 years left. Many of my friends said to wait until 2012, but most of you will be out of a job by then because of the Supreme Court of California's new decision January 24th, 2008, almost a month ago, for all California people, with doctors note or not, to lose their jobs without any recourse or compensation. We ask that you donate now, as we are quickly running out of time. Thank you. Get the money sent now, spread the word to every one you know to help us out!!! Use your computers and phones!! EVERYBODY! GET THE WORD OUT!!!

I think you're doing well by Mr. Herer and Mr.Lepp. I only know of Eddy Lepp because of you, and I always associate your username with knowledge and compassion in the prohibition debates (tho I find it hard to call them 'debates'...my beliefs are firm enough on this topic that I always think our side is making fools of any that dare oppose )....
Jack Herer is a pretty damn cool name to be able to drop....he's legendary. A lot of people owe him a lot more than they realize...if justice ever prevails in the drug wars, his name will be near or at the top of any thank you lists.

I was trying to find a way to say that without it sounding like I was calling you a hippy ...(not so much because I thought you'd find it derogatory, but because of the negative associations some people make with them).
