~ Hawaii County Council,
"GREEN HARVEST"
This is another request that you not accept federal funding ($400,000) of the
Marijuana Eradication Program.
Please note that the words "Green Harvest" were deliberately omitted from my
prior testimony because it would be using good words to mean bad things.
Rather than Green Harvest being a military style police action against county
citizens in order to seek and destroy a benign plant which throughout world history
has been man's best friend in the vegetable kingdom, Green Harvest shall one day
soon mean reaping the beneficial -harvest of this amazing plant.
Green Harvest will come when cannabis is liberated from its sixty years of
bondage as a prohibited plant and resurrected as a primary resource for food, fuel,
fibre, construction material, medicine, sacrament and 'recreational" uses„ as it has
for millennia.
The benefits of cannabis will be bestowed as a blessing upon the people of all
nations when the abundance provided by this "tree of life" is recognized and
utilized. Green Harvest is coming soon to sustain the 3rd millennium.
BLESSINGS OF GREEN HARVEST
The blessings of Green Harvest will be manifest when cannabis is liberated and
cultivated as:
/ - the foundation of an agricultural economy for food, fuel, fibre, construction
material, medicine, sacrament, and "recreational" uses that will do anything wood,
petroleum and cotton do and do it cheaper, better, renewably, and environmentally
benign,
a - an "industrial feedstock" for a multitude of diverse manufacturing industries and
a multitude of °cottage industries,'
food since its seed is one of the most nutritious and versatile foods in the world
used for flour, ail, sprouts, herb & spice, beverages, and more, even for livestock,
- medicine in low cost pharmaceutical preparations,
,s- a means of halting deforestation and the proliferation of petrochemicalR~~~ig9

~ - a sacramental substance for religious and spiritual use, count' coundl
~ - a benign substitute for harmful and addictive illegal drugs and to minimize the
use of harmful, addictive and legal products, recognizing that cannabis is the safe
way not the gate way, the solution not the problem.
9 - in home gardens as an herb for culinary, medicinal, sacramental and "recreational"
purposes, on family farms marketed through community co-ops, and in fields of
vast acres in every district and elevation using nature's inputs instead of
petrochemical inputs,
/o - to be administered by a duly elected government through a department of
agriculture responsible for permitting, taxing, educating, grading, researching, and
assuring food self-sufficiency by establishing complimentary food crop ratios when
the cannabis crop is not a seed crop,
- to help heal a drug and petrochemical addicted world, to improve health, and to
allow greater prosperity far more people in an otherwise subjugated economy.
RENOUNCE OR REBEL
As a citizen of Hawaiiisland, the State of Hawaii, the United States of America,
. and the great Planet Earth, I ask that you renounce cannabis eradication which
seeks to destroy God's gift to humanity. If not, let the peoples of this land, in time
for the 3rd millennium, rise in rebellion at the voting booth, against this crime of
the 20th century and those who perpetuate it.
