<br /> ~ Hawaii County Council,
<br /> "GREEN HARVEST"
<br /> This is another request that you not accept federal funding ($400,000) of the
<br /> Marijuana Eradication Program.
<br /> Please note that the words "Green Harvest" were deliberately omitted from my
<br /> prior testimony because it would be using good words to mean bad things.
<br /> Rather than Green Harvest being a military style police action against county
<br /> citizens in order to seek and destroy a benign plant which throughout world history
<br /> has been man's best friend in the vegetable kingdom, Green Harvest shall one day
<br /> soon mean reaping the beneficial -harvest of this amazing plant.
<br /> Green Harvest will come when cannabis is liberated from its sixty years of
<br /> bondage as a prohibited plant and resurrected as a primary resource for food, fuel,
<br /> fibre, construction material, medicine, sacrament and 'recreational" uses„ as it has
<br /> for millennia.
<br /> The benefits of cannabis will be bestowed as a blessing upon the people of all
<br /> nations when the abundance provided by this "tree of life" is recognized and
<br /> utilized. Green Harvest is coming soon to sustain the 3rd millennium.
<br /> BLESSINGS OF GREEN HARVEST
<br /> The blessings of Green Harvest will be manifest when cannabis is liberated and
<br /> cultivated as:
<br /> / - the foundation of an agricultural economy for food, fuel, fibre, construction
<br /> material, medicine, sacrament, and "recreational" uses that will do anything wood,
<br /> petroleum and cotton do and do it cheaper, better, renewably, and environmentally
<br /> benign,
<br /> a - an "industrial feedstock" for a multitude of diverse manufacturing industries and
<br /> a multitude of °cottage industries,'
<br /> food since its seed is one of the most nutritious and versatile foods in the world
<br /> used for flour, ail, sprouts, herb & spice, beverages, and more, even for livestock,
<br /> - medicine in low cost pharmaceutical preparations,
<br /> ,s- a means of halting deforestation and the proliferation of petrochemicalR~~~ig9
<br /> of people and planet,
<br /> a means of brin in economic and ener ower to the eo le "~ma.._---~~~Js7~ sY.._..-~
<br /> 6- 9~ 9 9Y P P P ~Dare~_...__.<.7._.._.__._
<br /> ~ - a sacramental substance for religious and spiritual use, count' coundl
<br /> ~ - a benign substitute for harmful and addictive illegal drugs and to minimize the
<br /> use of harmful, addictive and legal products, recognizing that cannabis is the safe
<br /> way not the gate way, the solution not the problem.
<br /> 9 - in home gardens as an herb for culinary, medicinal, sacramental and "recreational"
<br /> purposes, on family farms marketed through community co-ops, and in fields of
<br /> vast acres in every district and elevation using nature's inputs instead of
<br /> petrochemical inputs,
<br /> /o - to be administered by a duly elected government through a department of
<br /> agriculture responsible for permitting, taxing, educating, grading, researching, and
<br /> assuring food self-sufficiency by establishing complimentary food crop ratios when
<br /> the cannabis crop is not a seed crop,
<br /> - to help heal a drug and petrochemical addicted world, to improve health, and to
<br /> allow greater prosperity far more people in an otherwise subjugated economy.
<br /> RENOUNCE OR REBEL
<br /> As a citizen of Hawaiiisland, the State of Hawaii, the United States of America,
<br /> . and the great Planet Earth, I ask that you renounce cannabis eradication which
<br /> seeks to destroy God's gift to humanity. If not, let the peoples of this land, in time
<br /> for the 3rd millennium, rise in rebellion at the voting booth, against this crime of
<br /> the 20th century and those who perpetuate it.
