Heres a funny little thing I found on youtube the other day

Henry Ford: 1863 - 1947 Hemp Car

"There's enough alcohol in one year's yeild of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for one hundred years." - Henry Ford

Pioneering automotive engineer Henry Ford held many patents on automotive mechanisms, but is best remembered for helping devise the factory assembly approach to production that revolutionized the auto industry by greatly reducing the time required to assemble a car.

Born in Wayne County, Michigan, Ford showed an early interest in mechanics, constructing his first steam engine at the age of 15. In 1893 he built his first internal combustion engine, a small one-cylinder gasoline model, and in 1896 he built his first automobile.

In June 1903 Ford helped establish Ford Motor Company. He served as president of the company from 1906 to 1919 and from 1943 to 1945.

In addition to earning numerous patents on auto mechanisms, Ford served as a vice president of the Society of Automotive Engineers when it was founded in 1905 to standardize U.S. automotive parts.

Ignominy

Shamefully, Ford was an anti-Semitic and Nazi sympathizer. Comparable to Thomas Jefferson having slaves; it is paradoxical that Henry Ford (considered to be one of America's greatest minds) should also be preoccupied with racism.

Fuel of the Future

When Henry Ford told a New York Times reporter that ethyl alcohol was "the fuel of the future" in 1925, he was expressing an opinion that was widely shared in the automotive industry. "The fuel of the future is going to come from fruit like that sumach out by the road, or from apples, weeds, sawdust -- almost anything," he said. "There is fuel in every bit of vegetable matter that can be fermented. There's enough alcohol in one year's yield of an acre of potatoes to drive the machinery necessary to cultivate the fields for a hundred years."

Ford recognized the utility of the hemp plant. He constructed a car of resin stiffened hemp fiber, and even ran the car on ethanol made from hemp. Ford knew that hemp could produce vast economic resources if widely cultivated.

Ford's optimistic appraisal of cellulose and crop based ethyl alcohol fuel can be read in several ways. First, it can be seen as an oblique jab at a competitor. General Motors had come to considerable grief that summer of 1925 over another octane boosting fuel called tetra-ethyl lead, and government officials had been quietly in touch with Ford engineers about alternatives to leaded gasoline additives. Secondly, by 1925 the American farms that Ford loved were facing an economic crisis that would later intensify with the depression. Although the causes of the crisis were complex, one possible solution was seen in creating new markets for farm products. With Ford's financial and political backing, the idea of opening up industrial markets for farmers would be translated into a broad movement for scientific research in agriculture that would be labelled "Farm Chemurgy."

Why Henry's plans were delayed for more than a half century:

Ethanol has been known as a fuel for many decades. Indeed, when Henry Ford designed the Model T, it was his expectation that ethanol, made from renewable biological materials, would be a major automobile fuel. However, gasoline emerged as the dominant transportation fuel in the early twentieth century because of the ease of operation of gasoline engines with the materials then available for engine construction, a growing supply of cheaper petroleum from oil field discoveries, and intense lobbying by petroleum companies for the federal government to maintain steep alcohol taxes. Many bills proposing a National energy program that made use of Americas vast agricultural resources (for fuel production) were killed by smear campaigns launched by vested petroleum interests. One noteworthy claim put forth by petrol companies was that the U.S. government's plans "robbed taxpayers to make farmers rich".

Gasoline had many disadvantages as an automotive resource. The "new" fuel had a lower octane rating than ethanol, was much more toxic (particularly when blended with tetra-ethyl lead and other compounds to enhance octane), generally more dangerous, and contained threatening air pollutants. Petroleum was more likely to explode and burn accidentally, gum would form on storage surfaces and carbon deposits would form in combustion chambers of engines. Pipelines were needed for distribution from "area found" to "area needed". Petroleum was much more physically and chemically diverse than ethanol, necessitating complex refining procedures to ensure the manufacture of a consistent "gasoline" product.

However, despite these environmental flaws, fuels made from petroleum have dominated automobile transportation for the past three-quarters of a century. There are two key reasons: First, cost per kilometer of travel has been virtually the sole selection criteria. Second, the large investments made by the oil and auto industries in physical capital, human skills and technology make the entry of a new cost-competitive industry difficult.

Until very recently, environmental concerns have been largely ignored. All of that is finally changing as consumers demand fuels such as ethanol, which are much better for the environment and human health.

Cannabis smoke 'worse' than tobacco

Many people think smoking cannabis is safe

Smoking pure cannabis is more harmful to lungs than tobacco, a health charity is warning.

A study by the British Lung Foundation found that just three cannabis joints a day cause the same damage as 20 cigarettes.

Dr Mark Britton

"It is vital that people are fully aware of the dangers so they can make an educated decision and know the damage they may be causing."

Dr Britton emphasised that the British Lung Foundation report - called A Smoking Gun? - was "not about the moral rights and wrongs of cannabis".

But, he said, they simply wanted to make sure people were completely clear about the respiratory health risks involved.

Misconception

Only 2% understood correctly that there are health risks associated with smoking the drug.

The British Lung Foundation report also shows that the health dangers of cannabis have substantially increased since the 1960s.

That means that clinical studies carried out in the sixties and seventies may well underestimate the ill effects of smoking the drug.

This is due to increased amounts of THC - or delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, the major active chemical compound - in the cannabis consumed today.

Pleasure receptors

Many cannabinoid receptors are found in the parts of the brain that influence pleasure, memory, thought, concentration, sensory and time perception, and coordinated movement.

Dame Helena Shovelton, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation, said: "Puff and inhalation volume with cannabis is up to four times higher than with tobacco - in other words you inhale deeper and hold your breath with the smoke for longer before exhaling.

"This result in more poisonous carbon monoxide and tar entering into the lungs."

The British Lung Foundation is calling for the government to implement a public health education on the health risks of cannabis.

The charity will also be pushing for further research into cannabis and the lungs and its potential link with the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

This says "A study by the British Lung Foundation found that just three cannabis joints a day cause the same damage as 20 cigarettes."
I Assume the study was of British subjects?
If so in the UK about 95% of cannabis joint smokers smoke a mixture of marijuana, cannabis resin or hashish in a mixture with tobacco and because they do not use a filter that would cause a lot of tar.
we buy cooking chocolate and melt it in the microwave. After we have melted it we add crumbled some polled hashish and grass pollen from my grass grinder into the chocolate and mixed it in and applied it to the top of some malted milk biscuits. They were lovely and there was no health risk because we used good quality cannabis with minimal plant matter and we ate it and didn't smoke it.
I do not believe it is harmful to me because I know what I am doing.

At cannabismokers.com we always advise that smoke inhalation is harmful to your health but there are things to consider as some of the comments show.

Firstly Cannabis is not addictive and therefor people would not be likely to smoke between 20 to 40 joints per day where as a tobacco smoker would and because of the addiction, always will and weed smokers using a simple bong can filter out a good 90% of the tar as Andrew Nason Pointed out in his comment.

Secondly you can smoke pollen. This is a solid hashish type of cannabis that is made by removing the THC Crystals from the marijuana plant and compressing them, applying a little heat.
Smoked through a pipe this is a very clean type of smoke containing a very little amount of tar.

Thirdly The THC can be vaporized as explained it the documentary in our video section. This way contains NO tar and NO poisonous carbon monoxide.

Then there are the people who prefer to make tea or cakes with it and cook with it. There is NO tar and NO poisonous carbon monoxide absorbed by the consumer that way either.

This is why we say and stand by the idea of education.
As it states on our front page, With the right knowledge
using real facts and not scare tactics there can be regular, quite heavy use of the drug with absolutely no ill effects to your health.

Because it is illegal people are forced to buy what is available from criminals who cant be trusted to provide quality cannabis and are left with the choice between skunk weed and soap bar.
Skunk weed is cannabis that has been tampered with to make it stronger and easier to grow indoors. The down side of skunk is it upsets the delicate balance of cannabinoids.
THC is the cannabinoid that gets you stoned and CBD is an anti psychotic cannabinoid and skunk weed tends to have little or no CBD causing a health risk.
Soap bar is cannabis that was mixed into a soup as they used to call it and different types of cannabis are added but there are also other things added to the soup like plastic, straw, engine oil, etc causing massive health risks.

Some of the lucky people are still able to get hold of the old fashion safe cannabis like rocky, squidgy black, tie weed, pollen etc but a good 90% of the UK are smoking the soap bar or skunk weed

If people attempt to make something look worse or better than it actually is by only telling the bit of truth they want you to hear then they are behaving like gutter tabloid press and their opinion is totally biased and worthless and they will hold no respect from the public.
