<br /> On behalf of the he�g herb Cannabis, and others wh0)not speak for 19
<br /> themselves, I appeal.:, the United Nations to reverse fren<.ed "drug war"
<br /> activities. If the International Declaration of Human Rights means anything at
<br /> all, then it is the responsibility of the UN to coordinate global dialogue
<br /> concerning the wisdom of continued Cannabis prohibition. Freedom to
<br /> culturally integrate this plant, and an end to prohibition - addiction in the
<br /> United States, will prove to be the 'gateways' to environmental, social, and
<br /> economic stability all over the world.
<br /> State of Grace
<br /> In the current state of grace, during which major global systems continue to
<br /> function despite man's reckless behavior, the potential for evolving
<br /> economically toward a lasting peace is only as great as our respect for, and
<br /> willingness to work harmoniously within the rhythms of Nature.
<br /> In the Spring of 1999, I will begin an open and public biodynamic agricultural
<br /> project in my native soil, Humboldt County, North California. It will be the
<br /> third time I publicly, formally, heal Cannabis prohibition with individual
<br /> civil obedience of Natural Law. All Our Relations are welcome to support
<br /> planting and harvest celebrations, to be announced.
<br /> Investigating biodynamic and other organic agricultural methods, I will
<br /> harvest Cannabis for fuel, food, medicine, cloth, paper, etc. As a farmer and
<br /> holistic healer, I feel that peaceful, Natural, agricultural obedience is called
<br /> for, considering the severity and immediacy of the threats that the duration of
<br /> Cannabis prohibition imposes on all creatures.
<br /> If anyone can tell me one good reason not to grow Cannabis, then I'll stop
<br /> growing it. In the absence of reason to the contrary and government
<br /> accountability, I judge for myself that I and everyone else has the immutable
<br /> right to farm Mother Nature's best.
<br /> I trust that by this time next year, planting Cannabis for food and medicine,
<br /> fuel and paper, cloth and building materials, paints and varnishes, oil and
<br /> animal feed, erosion control, windbreaks and soil regeneration, wildlife forage
<br /> and cover, as a companion and rotational crop... in the United States, or
<br /> anywhere else on this Water Planet, will not be commonly thought of as
<br /> "illegal" anymore. 42, 43, 45
<br /> It is just too evolutionarily uninspiring to continue flaccid thinking about
<br /> Cannabis (conceivably caused by acute oxygen deficiency, as breathable gases
<br /> in the global atmosphere dwindle). Radical measures are needed to heal human
<br /> society and this planet, before we discover that both are beyond saving.
<br /> That man's self - destructive, purely unreasoned prohibition
<br /> of such a generous, ancient being could last so long,
<br /> is an embarrassingly revealing comment on how
<br /> primitive and clumsy mankind's social patterns
<br /> really are.
<br /> Conclusion
<br /> Any Natural resource critical to survival cannot be Lawfully prohibited.
<br /> Extreme intransigence by morally disoriented governments is known to be
<br /> causal to increasing violence, engulfing our civilization. A spiritless, angry
<br /> society, swimming in a toxic stew of petrochemicals and radioactive waste is
<br /> an unacceptable existence to leave All Our Relations foundering in. 59, 6041
