Growing Marijuana For Medicinal Purposes

Senate Might Approve Patients To Start Growing Marijuana

The Governor of New Hampshire, Maggie Hassan, is in favor of legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes, but she is still indecisive of how this should be done. Hassan, once believed that people should be able to grow their own marijuana at home for medicinal purposes, but now she believes that people should not be granted this right and that they should buy their medicinal marijuana from dispensaries.

Many believe that she was right the first time and that is why a new bill allowing patients to start growing marijuana for medicinal purposes in their home, is being analyzed in the Senate and it might be approved very soon. This bill, would allow only people with a doctor's prescription and a medical marijuana card that has been issued by the Department of Health and Human Services to be able to grow three marijuana plants, have 12 seedlings and be in possession of no more than six ounces of cannabis in their homes and no more than two ounces when they are travelling.

Growing Marijuana For Medicinal Purposes Is A Better Idea

While Gov. Hassan now believes that patients should get their medical cannabis from care centers that the bill would authorize, there are many doubts that this would work, as that bill would only authorize five medical marijuana dispensaries to open their does and the State would only have a year and a half to authorize those dispensaries, which is certainly a lot of time for patients who really need the herb to wait for them to open their doors to get their medicine.

This would give way to patients having to buy their marijuana in the black market, buy it from someone who has the authorization to buy at a medical dispensary in another State or one that has already opened its doors in another region. Once the authorized centers are all open, some patients will certainly live very far from them, as there will not be enough to cover all of the State and this will also give way to the alternative methods for them to get their medicine, which can certainly lead to crime and other similar problems to what we see today.

By allowing patients to start growing marijuana in their homes, it will be easier for them to have access to their medicine and it would also prevent black markets from appearing everywhere as they do right now. Hopefully the bill that is currently pending in the Senate is accepted and the people in New Hampshire get the opportunity to grow their own marijuana for medicinal purposes inside their homes.

The Liverpool Plains Might Be Used For Industrial Hemp

Industrial Hemp Is Being Grown In Some Parts Of The World

In this blog, I have talked about the medicinal uses and some recreational purposes of cannabis, but I have not talked much about its industrial benefits, which are also quite extensive and can really help to change our world. While industrial hemp might not have as high THC content as normal cannabis does, it can be used for many things and this is why we need to promote its legalization as well. 

In Australia, there are some experiments being done about this and some farmers are already growing this type of hemp successfully. The Liverpool Plains are the location that the Australian Industrial Hemp Industry has selected for producing this crop at a large scale and they are already getting some great results. 

What Is Happening In Australia With Industrial Hemp

Peter Slade is one of the lucky farmers, who have been allowed to grow hemp for industrial purposes, in this part of Australia and he has made some very positive comments to the press about his experience with this crop. Slade, was the farmer to sow the first five hectares of hemp this last February and after only a couple of weeks, his plants are looking great and are now taller than him. 

Slade's exact words about his crop were, "It's amazing. It's like nothing else I've grown." Peter and his wife Adele, have been farmers for a long time and they have specialized in crops like nyjer and millet, which are used for bird feed and now, they are getting involved in the industrial hemp industry, because they believe it is a perfect crop for their farm and that it can really help the world, as many different products can be made out from this plant. 

Mr. Slade and his wife, have had no problems with other weeds outgrowing their hemp crop, as this plant grows faster than the rest and it has been able to adapt itself to this region perfectly, (just like it would in many other parts of the world). "At the moment, it's got all pluses in my book, but we'll see how it goes after harvest. Industrial hemp produces the greatest amount of usable biomass over the shortest period of time, using the least amount of water with the greatest amount of carbon sequestration," stated Mr. Slade. 

Legalizing Industrial Hemp Could Really Help Us All

If hemp is legalized for industrial purposes, we could produce all different kinds of products, which include clothes, paper, oil, fuel and much more. Legalizing industrial hemp, could not only reduce the amount of oil that we consume worldwide, it could also help to reduce the amount of contamination that we create, it could help to reduce the harm that we do to our planet and it would create millions of jobs for farmers, businesses, manufacturers and more. 

It is time to legalize cannabis for medicinal, industrial and recreational purposes all over the world and here at Zip 420, we will continue promoting this cause, until we accomplish it.
