             The many uses of**HEMP**
              ====----====----====----

THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE & VERSATILE NATURAL RESOURCE

Many of us only know cannabis as a realaxation product.
But as you might know there are many ways to use the
Cannabis *HEMP* for many other purposes like
Medicine, fiber, fuel, food, on and on.

         *The Netherlands will be distribution
             Country for Medical Marijuana*

Intressting issue here is that in last week the Dutch
newspaper reported over The Dutch WEED bureau will be
connected to the International Control Board of the
United Nations in Vienna. Which makes it possible to
deliver "Medical"-marijuana to European and maybe also
other countries overseas. it's a good start for legalizing
Marijuana

The issue MARIJUANA is HOT news everywhere in the world.
Esspecially in Europe, Belgium, Switserland and Spain
is it already aloud to have a small amount '5 grams'of
Marijuana with you. "Did you know that in The Netherlands
there are 100,000 HomeGrowers that provide the CoffyShops
with some execellent SMOKES".

*THE WORLD'S MOST VALUABLE & VERSATILE NATURAL RESOURCE*

Cannabis has been known to man for at least 8,000 years
Cannabis psychoactive qualities were documented by the
Greek historian Herodotus. The chinese were already
familiar with marijuana's medical qualities 5,000 years
ago. As you might now the Cannabis Sativa contains 460
active substances. One that we all now and most important
of all the Cannabinoids (TetrahydroCannabinol "THC").

<<Plants of the Gods>>

"The Tibetans considered Cannabis sacred.
A Mahayana Buddhist tradition maintains that during the six
steps of asceticism leading to his enlightenment, Buddha lived
on one Hemp seed a day. He is often depicted with 'Soma leaves'
in his begging bowl and the mysterious god-narcotic Soma has
occasionally been identified with Hemp. InTantric Buddhism of
the Himalayas of Tibet, Cannabis plays a very signifigant role
in the meditative ritual used tofacilitate deep meditation and
heighten awareness. Both medicinal and recreational secular
use of Hemp is likewiseso common now in this region that the
plant is taken for granted as an everyday necessity."

Cannabis whas discovered to have medical value. It wasn't until
recently that fear and ingnorance led the mob to make marijuana
illegal. The repercussions of this act have thrown thew world
into a paranoic frenzy. Millions have been arrested, corruption
is rampant and sick people are denied medicine.

               PROHIBITION HAS NOT WORKED

           It's time to legalize marijuana to..

           * end the suffering of our sick
           * end the war against ourselves
           * start the "healing process" of our planet

Did you know that Marijuana has been shown to:

* Relieve the pain of arhritis, rheumatism...

* Arrest the advance of glaucoma...

* Mitigate withdrawal from multiple
   scelerosis and paralysis..

* Relieve menstrual cramps...

* Open brochial tubes to relieve asthma attacks

* Help to overcome insomnia

* Alleviate nausea and pain associated with cancer...

* Block epileptic seizures...

* Help people with AIDS to:

   - Relieve stress and depression
   - Eliminate nausea
   - Reduce pain
   - Fight the "wasting away"
     syndrome by stimulating the appetite

***LET DOCTORS DECIDE NOT THE POLITICANS!!!***

*But Which Strains are good for medical purposes?*

Call out the medics dude, because it's not for nothing that The
Dutch will deliver the medical Marijuana to other countries.
Most seedbanks here in the Netherlands have some excellent strains
for medical use. But what kind of strains are they, where can you
buy them?

A good MEDICAL strain, is HIGH RESIN, short growth times, a strain
that is a good PAIN KILLER or ANALGESIC and one that doesn't need a
tremendous amount of care to grow, like some tricky strains do. Sick
folks need SIMPLICITY and RELIEF. The indicas with a slight cross of
sativa are probably best.

GROW REPORT:

Three days a ago This happy GROW=DUDE gave me his grow
ideas / Thought on how to grow the best of the BEST.

Hey buds,

You're looking at a changed man. Yes friends, I've built and
installed da screen!:-)

After 10 crops in this closet using SOG, I'm gonna try the ever-
popular, and well-praised ScrOG. I'm just sick and tired of you
guys bragging all the time!;-)

**What is SOG / ScrOG >>>> http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/SCROG.htm
or read the last issue of Tips & Tricks for Setups.**
(AOLers,<a href="http://www.marijuana-seeds.net/SCROG.htm"> click here
</a>.)
So I've put 4 new clones in some large 10 inch net pots, into my 2x4
ebb&flow bed. These pots hold about 4 times as much hydrocorn as the
pots that I've been using. The clones were 4 inch sticks with 4 tiny
leaves each when they went in there, with the HPS about 40 inches
above. Now, after a week, the HPS is down to 20 inches, and the girls
are starting to zoom. They're 7-8 inches, with 4-5 nodes, each node
with 2 branches that are developing quickly. Some branches are 2-3
inches already.

And they are still 3 inches from the screen! When I start the
horizontal bop, those side branches will do a turbo boost!:-)

And that's also without topping at all, yet. BTW, these clones are
from 2 NL#5 plants, and 2 Mazur plants. Both varieties sprout   branches
everywhere!

So I'm thinking that I will prune several of those lower branches
before they get going, and concentrate the plants energy on 3 or 4
shoots. Of course, I'd like to keep the main stem growing, along with
some side branches, because that's just the way that I think.:-)

But with a bushy plant in a large pot, and a fast-growing system,
I'm thinking that a few branches will more than fill a 2 sqft area
during an 18 day stretch. What do you think?

Well we think this DUDE is going well on his next crop, we hope for
the future that all Subscribers learnt something this year, or
atleast thinking on How 2 Grow even better then I do now.

Oke 'People' this was it for now, We will be back next week with
"A Christmas gift"

Thanx for Having us,

Ron & Vic.
