3D printing is a relatively new technology (about a quarter
century) that gives us the ability to make what we need when we need it. The simplest way to explain 3D printing is to call up the memory of the old dot matrix printers that spit out small jets of ink onto paper for printing. The next logical step was the decision not to stop at just ink and paper, but use the computer to place materials in the precise locations to make whatever we need. For example, we can make clothes that fit,
food that is delicious and nutritious, cars that drive themselves and planes
that travel great distances. We can even build buildings and body parts. Of
course it can all be done using hemp and other non-toxic materials.
Hemp’s versatility can fuel the new age printing (3D, 4D, 5D
plus what’s next) evolution. Hemp
fabrics, plastics, papers, woods, foods, adobe, hempcrete, etc. are perfect raw
resource materials (ink / filament) to fuel this evolution.
Kyoto Hemp Forum’s Paul Benhaim is introducing his brand of
hemp plastic 3D printing filament, ink on July 2, 2016.
Hemp based 3D printers and filaments eliminate the need to
abuse precious resources by using a stronger, non-toxic plant. The 3D printing technique called ‘contour
crafting’ builds a 2,500 sq. foot structure in less than 24 hours. This allows
us to build with rounded edges that wind does not damage, and mix building
materials for waterproofing, reducing indoor radiation and fire resistance. 3D
printed body parts are already in use.
Chris is right. Hemp is not only our lifeline to the future,
it is our lifeline to the present too, just in time for the future. Please post your thoughts, videos and photos in the comments sections. As we build and implement the Action Plan for implementing the hemp solution and other smart actions, we're sharing ideas. Thanks.
When the problem is not enough food, the solution is to grow more food. Hemp foods solve that problem. When the problem is homelessness, the solution is to grow more raw resource material to make homes out of. Solving our agricultural problems using basic science can co-create abundant, healthy harvests.
“Hemp improves the physical
condition of the soil, and when retted on the same ground where it grows, it
returns most of the fertilizing elements” Hemp, Lifeline To The Future by Chris Conrad pg. 167
“Hemp breathes in the excess global warming CO2 gas
from the air as it grows” said Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum
Focusing on agriculture is the best way to begin the process
of using hemp to help us deal with climate change. As we rebuild our agricultural structure from the foundation, roots up we must scientifically factor in farming basics. Water, soil condition, seeds, temperatures and lights.
From using a magnetic vortex water cleaning system, to better lighting i.e. , empowering system to choosing the perfect seeds for the environment, our agriculture portion of the hemp solution is key to not only reversing climate change, but also aiding the special needs of people now designated in the USA as "climate change refugees"
Hemp is a powerful, fast growing plant that has tens of thousands of applications, and that number does not factor in 3D printing. With a growing span of 90-120 days, we can begin the process to Phytoremediate Earth.
The male plant is primarily used for industrial uses and the female plant for medical and recreational uses. Yes, the plant can even change genders. Either way, hemp can help us achieve a cleaner, healthier world.
Since hemp can grow in any agronomic farming system and
requires no toxic chemicals to grow it is what Willie Nelson calls “A Peaceful
Solution”.

Websters has a perfect definition of the word sustainable:
“able to be used without being completely used up or destroyed; involving
methods that do not completely use up or destroy natural resources; able to
last or continue for a long time.”
Phytoremediation of hemp, tobacco, mushrooms, thistle,
sunflowers etc., plus using hemp as a primary raw resource material for 3D
printing, can help us co-create a better world. To preserve human life on
earth, it is imperative that we reach beyond our illusion of self and realize
that we are each responsible for at least 7 generations ahead. People are dying
and/or loosing their minds from the legal toxic lead, nuclear, benzene, oil
based plastics, medicines that can kill to heal an itch, etc.
History is full of countless failures to abide by this
simple principle of providing for seven generations ahead.
Here’s an idea from Pato Banton II on how to do the right
thing.
"Three ways that I practice "Sustainability" in my
life and work is to 1. grow food in my garden 2. recycle our waste in separate areas 3. share my clothes, shoes and other items with the homeless and charity
organizations."
Hemp is a tool we can use to not only restore sustainability
as a guiding principle in policy, but expand it so we are sustaining healthy,
happy and prosperous lives well into the future.
Since hemp grows so quickly, we can plant enough to fulfill
our needs for housing, food, clothes, etc. without having to burden the future
with the waste of our lives.
"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve."

There are topics that just need to be handed to the Guru in the field, Paul Benhaim.
Hemp plastics are not made from hemp oil or hemp seeds, but from the stalk. They are the preferred options toPP-glass fiber, High Heat ABSandPC/ABS. Flame retardantfor specific grades, using halogen-free additives. Not only do we supply granules, we provide smart solutions for our customers, and for their customers. We will lead you through every step of injection molding.”
Of course the hemp that is used will have to pass quality control inspections, as some situations may require 3-5 crop rotations that we know about. Set quality standards.
“Hemp Plastic is an affordable bio based natural fibre
composite to replace oil based raw materials. Designed in Europe over 15 years and now produced in China, Hemp
Plastics compete with engineering compounds in properties such as stiffness and
high heat tolerance (HDT). Both biodegradable and recyclable blends
address global policies for CO2 reduction and oil dependence.

Since the problem is too many toxins in the soil, water and air, the solution is to use effective means to clean it up.
Phytoremediation is the science of using plants to help
clean our environment. Richard M. Davis, USAHempMuseum frequently said that hemp is a
biomass champion at pulling toxins from our environment. For example, hemp
breathes excess CO2, a major greenhouse gas as it grows.
“Hemp improves the physical condition of the soil, and when retted on the same ground where it grows, it returns most of the fertilizing elements” Hemp, Lifeline To The Future by Chris Conrad pg. 167
“Hemp breathes in the excess global warming CO2 gas from the air as it grows” said Richard M. Davis, USA Hemp Museum
Focusing on agriculture is the best way to begin the process of using hemp to help us deal with climate change.Climate change is a global problem, not fixable by any one
nation, though it will take only one nation to begin. When the cause of climate
change is too many toxins in the environment, out of balance, the solution is
to remove the excess toxins and restore balance. This is simple science.
In the name of greed, we have made parts of nature illegal
while we wonder why we have environmental problems.
Hemp was planted around Chernobyl's nuclear disaster site to pull
radioactive elements from the ground. Jack Herer said that hemp works like a
mop absorbing nuclear toxins from the soil. Toxic metals like lead, which
causes violent behavior and other health problems, are also absorbed by hemp
and other phytoremediation plants like tobacco, mushrooms, thistle, sunflowers,
etc. Science from many governments
and educational
institutions back up the need for us to implement an international
phytoremediation program immediately to help solve climate change at the level
of cause.
An immediate end to hemp prohibition will allow us
to use this biomass champion in a hemp phytoremediation program. "Phytoremediation can be defined as the decontamination of soil, sediment
or water using plant growth. Industrial hemp, Cannabis sativa L.,
is renowned for its ability to grow rapidly. In one growing season, fiber hemp
can yield 250 to 400 plants per square meter, with each plant reaching up to 5
meters in height. As a result, hemp has been identified as a plant with the
potential to serve as a phytoremediator." The same way hemp was used
to clean up the toxins around Chernobyl, we should
be using hemp to clean up the toxins from the Gulf of
Mexico "oil spill" (more like a volcano) and other
environmental crisis situations.

From Chris Conrad’s book HEMP:
Lifeline To The Future
“Medical cannabis has been
ubiquitous in human history, and its use was advised in virtually all ancient
and medieval medicinal texts.” HLLTTF pg 10
Sir John Russell Reynolds, during his 30 years of
experience as Queen Victoria's
personal physician ... wrote in 1890 of marijuana, "When pure and
administered carefully, it is one of the most valuable medicines we
possess." page 14 "The complete protein in hempseed gives the
body the combination of essential amino acids and essential fatty acids needed
to maintain health. It provides the components necessary to make human
serum albumin and serum globulins, including the immune enhancing gamma globulin
antibodies. No epidemiological data indicate a rise in infections from
smoking cannabis, as had once been claimed." page 145
"Cannabis smoke is an expectorant that cleans
out air passages. Heavy concentrations of smoke cause coughing that helps
break up and expel phlegm. The herb is an excellent dilator of the
airways called the bronchi, opening them up to allow more oxygen into the
blood, and of the bronchioles, small air tubes of the lungs.' page 150
In Richard M. Davis’s
book HEMP FOR VICTORY: THE WONDER HERB is an article written by the dynamic cannabis
champion Dr. Lester Grinspoon.
“The study, from the University
of California at San Francisco, found smoked marijuana to be
effective at relieving the extreme pain of a debilitating condition known as
peripheral neuropathy. It was a study of HIV patients, but a similar type of
pain caused by damage to nerves afflicts people with many other illnesses
including diabetes and multiple sclerosis.
Neuropathic pain is notoriously resistant to treatment with
conventional pain drugs. Even powerful and addictive narcotics like morphine
and OxyContin often provide little relief. This study leaves no doubt that
marijuana can safely ease this type of pain.
As all marijuana research in the United States must be, the new
study was conducted with government-supplied marijuana of notoriously poor
quality. So it probably underestimated the potential benefit.
This is all good news, but it should not be news at all.
In the 40-odd years I have been studying the medicinal uses
of marijuana, I have learned that the recorded history of this medicine goes
back to ancient times and that in the 19th century it became a well established
Western medicine whose versatility and safety were unquestioned.
From 1840 to 1900, American and European medical journals
published over 100 papers on the therapeutic uses of marijuana, also known as
cannabis.
Of course, our knowledge has advanced greatly over the
years. (Yes, this Dr. Lester Grinspoon with Cannabis Champion Ben Dronkers)
Scientists have identified over 60 unique constituents in
marijuana, called cannabinoids, and we have learned much about how they work.
We have also learned that our own bodies produce similar
chemicals, called endocannabinoids.
The mountain of accumulated anecdotal evidence that pointed
the way to the present and other clinical studies also strongly suggests there
are a number of other devastating disorders and symptoms for which marijuana
has been used for centuries; they deserve the same kind of careful,
methodologically sound research.
While few such studies have so far been completed, all have
lent weight to what medicine already knew but had largely forgotten or ignored:
Marijuana is effective at relieving nausea and vomiting, spasticity, appetite
loss, certain types of pain, and other debilitating symptoms.
And it is extraordinarily safe -- safer than most medicines
prescribed every day. If marijuana were a new discovery rather than a
well-known substance carrying cultural and political baggage, it would be
hailed as a wonder drug.”

Hemp is and has been part of our eco-system since the
beginning, for Christians it goes back to Genesis 1:11. In India’s Hindu religion there is Shiva.
Rastafarians
praise the Lord with ganja. We must look at the
role prayer and meditation, pure thought, can have on solving our problems
too. There are volumes on hemp and
prayer for us to consider too.
“Stop being quiet about all this. Speak up. Rise a ruckus.
Raise the issues. You might even raise some collective consciousness.
On just one issue, for instance. Why not grow hemp and use
it to make paper? Do you have any idea how many trees it takes just to supply
your world with daily newspapers? To say nothing of paper cups, carry-out
cartons, and paper towels?
Hemp can be grown inexpensively and harvested easily and
used not only for making paper, but the strongest rope, and the longest-lasting
clothing, and even some of the most effective medicines our planet can
provide. In fact, cannabis can be
planted so inexpensively, and harvested so easily, and has so many wonderful
uses, that there is a huge lobby working against it.”

We are maintaining an international food production and
distribution system that results in millions of hungry people and millions more undernourished. The simple shift to healthy, delicious hemp
foods can solve the world hunger problem in less than a year. Here’s how.
Grow, promote and sell hemp foods. Due to its short growing
cycle, we can make enough to feed everybody while empowering countless
souls.
Los Angeles
hemp activist, Sister Somayah Kambui, was legendary for her hemp tacos. She would serve them to many guest who loved
the meal, concluding with her signature smile and the phrase, ‘not a bit of
meat in it.’
Solving the United Nations declared world food crisis with
hemp foods is a minor shift that can yield miraculous results. Wind pollinated
hemp is so versatile it can be made into flour, oil, seeds, salads, tinctures,
milk, tea, etc. Hemp can also be used as
a meat substitute (replace soy flour with hemp in the recipe); a hemp textured
vegetable protein (TVP).
Support your favorite hemp food companies…if for no reasons
other than flavor and the nutritional value found in this precious herb.

Hemp Pulls Lead From
the Soil
CNN’s #UnitedShades did a piece on the violence in Camden, NJ. Camden has had
the same lead problem for the last 20 years going on in Flint
and many other places.
There is a theory ‘Nero fiddled while Rome burned’ may be connected to the
aqueduct's lead pipes, plumber’s colic. Here's the Harvard paper on the subject
of lead causing violent
behavior. Here's a Mother Jones piece . And a Forbes
follow up.
"Overall, phytoremediation has great potential for
cleaning up toxic metals, pesticides, solvents, gasoline, and explosives. The
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more than 30,000
sites in the United States
alone require hazardous waste treatment. Restoring these areas and their soil,
as well as disposing of the wastes, are costly projects, but the costs are
expected to be reduced drastically if plants provide the phytoremediation
results everyone is hoping for."
Nero must stop fiddling. Phytoremediation pulls lead and
other toxins from the environment.

Our use of toxic energy is hurting our environment, even
killing many of us. Bio fuels must be part of our clean, safe energy strategy
to address man’s negative impact on nature and transform it into an empowerment
too. We have literally volumes of
confirmed evidence that toxic energy is one of the primary roots of our current
climate change crisis. Einstein warned about the decision to turn away from
biofuels to nuclear. “nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil water”. Henry Ford built and designed his car to run
on biofuels.
A simple shift from energy that is killing us to clean, low
cost or free energy sources
makes is the smart thing to do.
It is time to stop pulling material from the earth with
techniques like oil drilling, fracking, coal and nuclear energy and use what
the Earth gives us naturally like biofuels, magnetic, hydro, wind and solar.
Energy from farming is
clean. No need to crack Mother Earth
open to get it, Since much of our environmental pollution is the result of
approved government policies, reversing this crisis is a matter of math.
The great hemp activist Willie Nelson in the last decade
started his B20 BioWillie biodiesel
making him a pioneer in the field of biofuel, lifting the banner raised by
Henry Ford who worked with George Washington Carver to develop biofuels for
Ford’s diesel cars.
An excellent article on the subject is by Lynn Osburn “Energy Farming in
America” no nationalistic implications in the recommendation. “Farmers
should be encouraged to grow energy crops capable of producing 10 tons per acre
in 90-120 days. The crop has to be naturally high in cellulose.”

Shifting to clean biofuels is not nuclear science, just
common sense. Let’s do it!
Hemp in
architecture is returning. The design opportunities it offers are enormous,
taking us beyond the boxes of agricultural and industrial age structures. Imagine,
energy efficient buildings built to withstand our modern storms, floods, reduce
indoor radiation and fire retardant.
Hempcrete, which is a blend of hemp and lime is a carbon
negative construction material. Hemp adobe, woods, papers, inks and textiles
bring an easily renewable element to design. Restoring hemp to architecture is
vital. Large populations, especially coastal areas, are or will be forced to
move inland as the sea levels rise. Called
‘climate change refugees’ they need quick access to shelter. Structures can be designed to be expanded,
repurposed as needed with the dynamic of 3D printing. Structures include our
infrastructure too.
Many large populations must reduce nuclear radiation like New York City which is down river from the Indian Point
nuclear plant or Westlake Landfill housing Manhattan Project nuclear waste, or
16,000 cracks in a Belgium
nuclear plant, etc. Simple things like turning off and 3d printing nuclear
sarcophagus can do a lot to lower our radiation levels. This playlist below has more on hemp building materials that are being used in modern construction.
Hemp
building materials are already expanding the definition of
architecture. Combined with 3D printing
we can easily build structures that have rounded / dome corners that the wind
goes around, not lifts up or blows away in the event of a hurricane or tornado.
We can add a layer of strong waterproofing material to prevent flood
damage. NASA has research into magnetic nuclear radiation shielding that may be
incorporated into modern architecture reducing indoor radiation. Please post your thoughts, videos and photos in the comments sections. As we build and implement the Action Plan for implementing the hemp solution and other smart actions, we're sharing ideas. Thanks.
