The Japan Hemp Association hosted an international gathering of hemp advocates in Kyoto, Japan, where the Kyoto Protocol was signed in 1997 to address climate change. An amazing gathering of activist shared insights and notes, working out an effective, international hemp phytoremediation plan.
Hemp is an effective tool we can use to solve climate change because it pulls excess CO2 from the atmosphere as it grows and it's extensive root system cleans toxins from the soil like lead and nuclear radiation. Here's some information on the event, which is planning a gathering in Thailand in 2022. In case you haven't noticed, the climate is changing.
It is imperative that we provide for at least seven generations ahead.Climate change must begin within, by fully understanding the problem, cause and solution. When the problem is too much pollution, the solution is to remove the pollution.
Now that we've done the first Kyoto Hemp Forum, the next step in the process is to focus on getting hemp seeds into the ground. We have plenty proof that planting hemp is the right thing to do.
To understand what's needed, we must talk to the farmers about what they need to engage in large scale hemp farming. Then we can teach the governments, UN and industry how to hemp from the foundation, up.
FarmAid's annual concert is September 17, 2016. They have an activists section there and we're presenting a crop financed international phytoremediation program. Please share ideas on our call to farmers and others why we must get as many hemp seeds in the ground as possible now. As the grandest lady of all, male or female, Earth needs her weed!

Welcome children. Nobody in this process of overcoming climate change is more important than you. Fashion Diva Starr Mitchell and her brother, spelling champion and math enthusiast Coylee Mitchell, plus their brother Jon Pierre Mitchell who is teaching Medicine, Inc. about how to overcome brain seizures his whole life inspired this page. Their ideas throughout this process are keys to co-creating an action plan to save the planet and ourselves. They are absolutely right. Children have a lot to say about how this world is run and adults must listen. This room is for you to post in plus please, feel free to visit any of the other rooms.
I
respectfully disagree with the claim that you are our future. You are our present, the reason we are here.
It is important that we include your ideas and actions into healing ourselves and our world.
Farming is an important element in healing the world. From nutrition to plants cleaning the soil and air, called phytoremediation, everyone has a role to play, none more important than yours.
Technology is doing a lot to open the barriers to learning how to save ourselves. What we don't know we can learn and/or figure it out.
Here's an example of the world of positive possibilities ahead. Using plants to fuel the 3d printing upgrade to our lives, there is nothing we cannot accomplish. Here's another example below.
Children, you picked a great time to be alive. Your generation's participation is key to saving the world. Thank you. Upload your ‘environmental rap / spoken word’, or whatever other ideas you have in the comments section below. When you get old, you will have a record of you working to save the world since childhood. I pray that your children be as proud of and grateful for you as we are. It will bring you great comfort in your old age. Thank you.
1.6 million addicts in Afghanistan are the result of our war on drugs.

Save women and children from the scourge of heroin.
Problem: Drug
addiction in Afghanistan
Solution: Establish an
Ibogaine Clinic in Afghanistan
WHAT IS IBOGAINE?
Ibogaine is a
naturally occurring alkaloid obtained from the root bark of the shrub Tabernanthe
iboga. It grows in Gabon and other areas in West Africa. Ibogaine root bark has been used for many
centuries during the ritualistic ceremonies of the Bwiti religion.
But ibogaine is
best-known for interrupting the symptoms of drug withdrawal and reducing drug craving
for extended periods of time -- allowing an heroin addict to detoxify with minimal symptoms.
Ibogaine also appears to reset the
brain's neurotransmitter function to a pre-addictive state.
RITUAL
WHAT IS IBOGAINE FOR AFGHANISTAN?
Ibogaine For
Afghanistan is a project created for the specific purpose of:
• Implementing and
legalizing Ibogaine in Afghanistan.
• Including it in the
Afghan ‘prescribed medicines list.
• Creating a circle of
treatment for drug users in Afghanistan and war
veterans in the United States.
The project began back
in 2010. A number of difficult obstacles forced it to to be temporarily
discontinued. In early 2014, it was reactivated after the difficulties were worked
out and eliminated.
WHY AFGHANISTAN?
Afghanistan’s severe drug problem makes it the ideal
location for the program. The potency of the heroin produced in the region has
rendered methadone treatments ineffective, disillusioning government officials.
Its poor performance never
really gained the support of government officials. As the heroin crisis
increases, a new and more effective treatment method is desperately needed to
help turn the tide. The arrival of Ibogaine as the quickest, safest and most
cost-effective medication is expediting the government approval of a license
for the clinic.
Targeted authorities:
• Ministry of Health.
• Ministry of Counter
Narcotics.
• Ministry of Justice.
• Ministry of
Religious Affairs.
• Ministry of
Information and Culture.
• Ministry of labor
and social affairs, civil society and local influential faces.
Strategy:
The project consists
of three stages: Stage 1. included Murtaza Majeed traveling to Kabul,
Afghanistan to utilize his relationship with
government and the country’s Drug Demand Reduction committee of the nation’s
two most populated areas besides Kabul. (Herat and Mazar-i-Sharif)
Stage 2. is now
focused on the demonstration of ibogaine for heroin detox in six to ten addicts
and the establishment of a clinic. This stage includes foreign experts training
a medical staff, establishment of a clinic in Kabul.
Stage 3. The expansion
of ibogaine therapy across the country as an alternative for detoxification in
all U.N.-affiliated treatment centers.
Timeline: Due to
complications resulting from the disputed election, the project has been
postponed to start on September 1, 2014. Stage 1, leading to approval to do the first
demonstration treatments required Murtaza to go to Kabul again in March to negotiate a memorandum of
understanding with the most advanced hospital addiction clinic in the
country. That was followed by the
appointment a harm reductionist, Salamat Azime, as new Minister for Counter-narcotics.
Salamat is a former student of Murtaza's closest associate, Dr. Zabi; and on
June 13 Zabi arrived in Kabul. The last key
player, Dr. Anwar Jeewa of S. Africa, is set to bring ibogaine, adjunct
medications and certain medical equipment up from Durban
just as soon as Ms. Azime produces a visa--a process complicated by the fact Afghanistan doesn't maintain an Embassy in Pretoria.
All of this is
contingent upon funding.
Ibogaine For
Afghanistan Executive Director, Murtaza Majeed has established a local NGO,
"Medawa", to work on drug treatment, policy making, advocacy on drug
policy and harm reduction services. Murtaza is working with people who use
drugs for their rights, access to treatment and health.
Since Murtaza Majeed
is a veteran of the National AIDS
Control Program in Afghanistan and was a
national training and resource center coordinator for Afghanistan National AIDS
Control Program, everyone in the country is familiar with his work. The first
methadone clinic funded by the Global Fund and Afghanistan
government was one of his achievements. Training and development of methadone treatment
to other health staffs in Afghanistan was part
of his responsibilities through the National Training and Resource Centre.
In 2010 he started to
advocate for Ibogaine in order to have a licensed and prescribed Ibogaine in Afghanistan and to open a clinic for drug treatment. He
actually went so far as to schedule Dr. Zabi for training at Minds Alive Clinic
in Durban in early 2011, but visa problems
interfered. Murtaza has a long experience working with community development, human
rights, drug users rights, HIV/AIDS, needle exchange program and organizational
development. He urgently needs your financial backing. We are so close to
effectuating the first 10 treatments!
