Vote To Legalize Marijuana

Corn, wheat, and rice are the staple crops upon which every society on earth has been based upon.

Your turn, stoney.
 
Cannabis was also a staple crop. Hemp was one of the most important crops that helped revolutionized the world. More than a 1,000 years before Christ to 1833 A.D hemp has been the largest agriculture crop that produced thousands of different products. Cannabis hemp is the strongest most durable longest lasting natural soft fiber on the planet.
 
You don't know what staple crop means either. If you don't know what a term means, stop pretending you do and using it like you do know what it means. Look it up in a dictionary. Words have specific meanings that people are referring to when they bring up those words in conversation.

Wikipedia said:
A staple food, sometimes simply referred to as a staple, is a food that is eaten routinely and in such quantities that it constitutes a dominant portion of a standard diet in a given population, supplying a large fraction of the needs for energy-rich materials and generally a significant proportion of the intake of other nutrients as well. Most people live on a diet based on just a small number of staples.
Feed a society off of hemp. I'm sure you think you could do it. I'd offer to arrange land where you could have a whole group of people who think like you to help make it work, but history would look back on that noble idea as a concentration camp for the mentally ******ed.

Yes, I'm aware that you can turn hemp into a food after you process the shit out of it and place more energy into it than it provides.
 
Fair enough. Name one society in the history of mankind in which hemp was used to provide a 'dominant portion of a standard diet'. Any society, the whole history of mankind.

If you can name one society in which hemp provided the dominant share of the calories- what you need to sustain life- I will publicly petition Slyfox for your release. One society, a dominant share of the calories. It was a staple crop, according to you- this should be no sweat.

And when you can't, since that's never fucking existed, will you just say "sorry I didn't know that word" instead of making yourself look like an ass, again, when you use it?

Hemp was a staple crop of 1800's American agriculture. What about hemp seed? No other plant can compare with the nutritional value of hemp seed. Not only is hemp seed one of the most important foods for humans but also fish,birds,cats,dogs,farm animals and many more.

Section from The Emperor Wears No Clothes

In 1937, Ralph Loziers, general counsel of the National Institute of Oilseed Products, told the Congressional committee studying marijuana prohibition that “hemp seed… is used in all the Oriental nations and also in a part of Russia as food. It is grown in their fields and used as oatmeal. Millions of people every day are using hemp seed in the Orient as food. They have been doing this for many generations, especially in periods of famine.”
 
Not used as food. I can point you to societies which have eaten wood chips and the paste between books. The reason why hemp was eaten during periods of famine is because the crops that were normally being eaten- like rice- were failing, and having anything in your belly- even if it is of extremely limited nutritional value- is better than nothing.

I also would not point to 1937 Russia or China as a model for society. ;) Both were experiencing severe famines, the former as a result of Stalin's Great Purge, the latter as the result of a long-lasting civil war which had drastically reduced farming capacity. Great examples for how to run a farming economy!

A society where hemp has formed a dominant portion of the calories. Where hemp can provide enough calories to provide for a society without it having to import other sources of calories.

Keep trying.

Motherfucker please, farmers in the new world in the 1800s needed to be given massive incentives to grow hemp, rather than food crops.
 
Did you know that monks were required to eat three servings of hemp seed a day?

Did you know that hemp seed was regularly used in soups,porridge,and gruel by virtually all people of the world?

Not only could this plant feed everyone it also helped dress everyone. With this plant we were able to provide paper for everyone for books and people to write. With this one plant we also used it to provide many other great things that helped revolutionized our world for everyone today.

Monks have also been required to whip themselves and wear clothing made of hair. Your point?

Only because the people eating it couldn't afford anything better. There's a reason why farmers chose to grow other plants for food in the 1800s.

See, here's the problem. I refer again to the diagram.

Most people understand that when they get called out on saying something a little crazy, the smart move is to go "whoops, didn't think about that". Some people try to change the subject. Some people choose public admission of their mistake in a cynical ploy to their audience.

The difference with you- and why you're pretty much universally ridiculed here, as well as anywhere else I'm sure you go- is that when you get caught saying something stupid, you charge full force ahead at it. You can't come up with an example, because hemp requires more calories to produce than it provides as energy (really basic math here that's involved), but instead of backing off a claim that probably wasn't too well thought out, you charge straight at it.

You being you though, keep at it. Name me one society that received a dominant portion of their calories from hemp. You keep saying "you can eat it", and no shit, but that's not the definition of 'staple crop', which again, you just couldn't admit you didn't know. Keep going, I'm hourly.
 
I don't know how much prove you ant from me that I give and how little prove i get from the people here proving me wrong. I already showed you a bunch of evidence. No matter what you say none of the plants can provide the additional benefits of the cannabis plant. So that will always make the cannabis plant the greatest plant ever.

In your opinion.

You haven't answered the question.

Name a society that has survived based upon the calories they received from the hemp plant. A plant that is capable of supporting a society's diet is more important than any plant that supports that culture based upon another plant.

You keep saying hemp can be eaten, which has never been in dispute.

Any time you're ready, you can say "oh, ok, I didn't think about foods that actually made life possible", I work from home and I've got all day.
 
Hemp seeds and other foods made from the plant helped made life possible. No other plant source can compare with the nutritional value of hemp seeds. You're just going to leave out when I showed you societies that did depend on the cannabis plant as a food source. This plant is just as important as a food source as rice,corn,and wheat.

Even if you want to claim that you proved me wrong with the cannabis plant being a good food source wrong. You still never proved any of the other topics that I asked for you to prove me wrong.

OK. Which societies were those, Todd?

You said "monks were required to eat it". That isn't a society, that is a small group of people dependent on donations from a society. (To be a society, you have to be self-sufficient. Basic requirement, you probably don't know that because you don't know what words mean.) The definition of a staple crop, again, is a society which can perpetuate itself based on the calories from the hemp plant.

You listed a quote from a guy trying to legalize hemp in America who mentioned Russia and China in 1937, who were eating hemp because of the massive civil unrest occurring in each country decimated their real staple crops, wheat and rice respectively.

You've listed no information on the nutritional value of hemp compared to actual staple crops, like rice, corn, barley, etc.

And the reason no one has answered your stupid fucking list is because no one was arguing anything there. That's called a "strawman argument", you're too fucking ******ed to understand what that means, but look it up.

Name one society which survived because it produced a majority of its calories from the hemp plant. You've made the further claim that hemp is as important a food crop as corn or wheat, so now showing societies which have farmed hemp for food should be incredibly easy for you.

At this point you've gotten way too deep into it to be able to say "oh, ok, I forgot about actual food plants that sustain life", so I'm interested to see this big list of societies based on the farming of hemp for food.

Here's mine for corn:
Every society on the North American continent throughout history

Here's mine for wheat:
Every European and Russian society ever

How about rice?
All Asian cultures

Your turn! Remember- a society which survived based upon the cultivation of hemp as a food source. Not "this guy ate hemp", or "people were eating this because they were being chased from villa to villa and it was the only thing they could find", but a society which farmed hemp, which is known for its great nutritional value (seriously!?!!?), and used it to supply the majority of calories for its citizens.

I've got time.

It did? The Sumerians grew hemp for the explicit reason of eating it? I mean, if hemp seeds made life possible, then they would have. Too bad they didn't record that bit of information. I mean, they recorded growing wheat, barley, hops, etc., but not cannabis.

The reason I bring up the Sumerians, by the way, is because they were the first civilization to record any information, and the first recognized civilization, period. I'm sure you weren't aware of that....
 
I'm really interested in knowing how hemp is nutritionally superior to corn. This could change our entire course of our national farming policy!

*sits patiently*
 
In every society not just one them. The cannabis plant is a great food source helps sustain life. You're ignoring the fact of how valuable this plant is. While we had all those plants you speak that are very important in history hemp was just as important back then. Not only did we use this plant to feed societies we used it for almost everything else to help out society. I brought up all those things for everyone to prove wrong because thats what we were talking about. It made perfect sense for me to bring all those up.
 
Name one society that used hemp as a majority of their calories to perpetuate that society. If you can say "every society", then you should be able to name ONE society which grew hemp to supply the majority of its food. Or, Jesus Fucking Christ, just say you got out of hand already. We're going to give you far more credit for being able to say that then we will for your.... absolutely insane argument for hemp as a food crop.

The idea of a strawman argument is that you construct a ridiculous argument and attribute that to your opponents. I know you don't understand what it means. It gets brought up when someone has weak arguments of their own, and needs to construct a fake, weak opponent (i.e., a strawman) to attack so that they look stronger. Which is why no one gives a shit about your list, because it is a set of ridiculous bullshit arguments that no one is trying to defend.

Idiot.
