Aussies Inching Closer to Okaying Hempseed in Foods
Fri, Dec 09, 2011 12:46 pm
The chief executive of Food Standards, Steve McCutcheon, has publicly compared hempseed to traditionally used poppy seeds and declared hemp seeds to be safe for human consumption. McCutcheon’s assertion is borne out when examining some of the facts: 44% of hempseed weight consists of healthy oils, with 80% of that being essential fatty acids (EFA’s) like omega-3. The protein content (33%) is second only to soy and provides more complete amino acids than animal-based sources of protein. And unlike flaxseed oil, hemp oil doesn’t create a deficiency or imbalance of EFA’s with continued use and doesn’t trigger allergies.
Presently, Food Standards has opened the floor to public commentary on their proposal before it will be formally brought before health ministers for final approval in 2012. Sydney-based physician Andrew Katelaris submitted the hempseed food application to Food Standards after previously having a 2002 proposal shot down by health ministers. Dr. Katelaris has been a longtime thorn in the side of Oz’ federal government, as he was previously deregistered by the Dept of Health and Aging for providing medicinal cannabis to his patients.
Predictably, that very same Dept of Health and Aging, whose website is fully loaded with anti-pot propaganda, is opposing Food Standards' proposal of adding hempseed to food. They’ve justified their stance by claiming that foods containing hemp seeds will “promote a public perception that cannabis is an acceptable and safe product to consume.” Which, of course, it is.

Nice one line comment from an asshole. Way to put in a great post. You must have spent seconds thinking that gem over.

Consider us put in our places you fucking idiot.

There was no research done or any reports created before Marijuana was prohibed back in 1937 and these bitches did not read a study or report as claimed. They are just part of the problem with the world today. News casters who will read or say anything. I doubt any of these bitches will be getting the Edward R. Murrow award for journalistic excellence.
It is a sad state of affairs for the entire world as the media continues to spew lies and call it news. As what used to be news is turned into the entertainment hour. As the lies that are told are increasing used to help their ulta-Rich media tycoon owners spread their propaganda instead of the truth as reviled by modern science and common sense.

The damn idiots could be eracticating the one plant that could save millions of lives. Learn before you burn, fools. And if it's medically useful for the masses, then they are really making a terrible Governmental blumder as the world witnesses it all in amazement.

Do you suppose that means
What is the definition of Eucharist?
Wiki and the web only gives the run around babble.
How do we become Mystics too, cause the churches aren't hating on them either...
My idea is fusion of our ideas not fission.
Peace not war.
Understanding brings peace.
Or is all churches different?
Stupid warrior people - I for one am sick of war.
Life is too short and my patients is at an end
Guess i need to do some serious discussion with folk ltr

WHEN A LIE IS TOLD OFTEN AND LOUD ENOUGH IT WILL BE EVENTUALLY BELIEVED AS THE TRUTH AND THIS IS WHY IN AUSTRALIA THE MOST POWERFULL PEOPLE IN FOOD AND MEDICINE BELIEVE THAT HEMP SEED IS BAD WHEN IT IS FAR FROM THAT.
OH AND IT MIGHT MAKE THE REST OF THE LIES THEY PUSH ON THE PUBLIC TO BELIEVE IN LOOK QUESTIONABLE TOO!!!!!
OH THEY CANT HAVE THAT!!!!!
WHAT IF THE PEOPLE STARTED TO ASK QUESTIONS AND DID'NT TRUST THE GOVERNMENT ANY MORE?!?!?
THIS PLANT IS THE TREE OF LIFE.
DO NOT DOUBT ME.
THIS PLANT WAS GIVEN TO US FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.
THIS PLANT WILL OPEN THE PEOPLES EYES TO THE GLORY OF GODS CREATION AND THE GOVERNMENTS OF SECULARISM FEAR IT MORE THAN ANY NATIONS ARMY OF MEN AND THEIR GUNS AND TANKS.
THE COMMUNISTS FEAR GOD AND FEAR MEN WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND THE LOVE AND FREEDOM THE KNOWLEDGE OF GODS LOVE BRINGS MANKIND.
THE WORLDS COMMUNIST LEADERS ARE IN FACT BRINGING IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER AND THE UNITED NATIONS AND THE GLOBAL BANKING CARTELLS WANT YOU TO BELIEVE IN THEM AND THEIR GODLESS GOVERNMENTS.
THE PEOPLE DO NOT NEED BIGGER AND MORE POWERFULL GODLESS GOVERNMENTS THEY ONLY NEED GODS LOVE AND GODS CREATIONS TO HEAL THEM AND TO MAKE THEM WHOLE.
I KNOW YOU CAN SEE THE WORLD WIDE ECONOMIC DEPRESSION AND THE STATE OF THE WORLD AS A WHOLE.
IT'S A BAD SIGN AND OUR GOVERNMENTS LACK OF HONESTY AND CONCERN FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE FUTURE IS ALL SHINING THROUGH THE LIES AND CRIMES AGAINST US ALL.
THE PROHIBITION ON HEMP SEED PRODUCTS ANYWHERE IS A BAD SIGN FOR SURE.
WHAT THE FUCK AUSTRALIA ALLOWS THE FARMING OF OPIUM POPPIES FOR THE BIGGEST "PILL PHARM" COMAPANIES SO WHAT THE FUCK IS SOME HEMP SEED GOING TO DO?!?!?!?
EXPOSE THE GOVERNMENTS LIES THAT'S WHAT IT WILL DO!!!!
RISE UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR HEALTH AND FREEDOM AUSTRALIA!!!
GROW YOUR OWN, FREE YOUR MIND, FREE THE PLANET!!!!!

i've been mixing hemp oil and vitamin E as a skin lotion for quite a while now and it works well, never tasted it yet - people say to use it as part of a salad dressing, since it's nutty tasting, all i can say is it does smell nutty
also, DO NOT HEAT hemp oil! it goes rancid easily and must stay refrigerated (probably why people 100 years ago didn't use it much as food)

My Dad had some trouble with cancer on his head that left some bad spots. He was using some prescription stuff and it wasn't working, so I got him some and it cleared up the issues. He stopped using it and the dry spots came back. He used the prescription stuff, once again it worked OK, but not as you would like. I got him another tube of Hemp hand cream and once again his head was like a babies butt.
Would another cream have worked as well? Don't know didn't try anything else, just know the prescription shit didn't work as well as the hemp oil hand cream that cost $5.00.
The Doctor told him to keep using the Hemp oil hand cream and now he recommends it to others as well.
I guess my main point was we can not grow hemp and that means we have to import it from other countries when Americans could use the work and farmers could use the money.
Marijuana has long been known as the ideal rotation crop as it actually breaks up the soil and prepares the field for the next crop. Marijuana would also be the perfect crop to stop land slides in California as it has one of the strongest and fastest growing root systems.
I am going to try and find some hemp oil and see how it tastes. I bet it will be good, I have never had a hemp product I didn't like.

He went to the Harbor Side Disp. and got a Tincture with a high CDB level to fight the seizures. Ths guy came back and said his kid was instantly better and had not had a seizure for 4 days. True? I can't say I wasn't there, but that is what the guy said.
Here is a little background.
Cannabidiol (CBD) is a cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It is a major constituent of the plant, representing up to 40% in its extracts.[2]
It has displayed sedative effects in animal tests.[3] Some research, however, indicates that CBD can increase alertness.[4] It may decrease the rate of THC clearance from the body, perhaps by interfering with the metabolism of THC in the liver.
Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, as well as inhibit cancer cell growth.[5] Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[6] Studies have also shown that it may relieve symptoms of dystonia.[7][8]
In November 2007, it was reported that CBD reduces growth of aggressive human breast cancer cells in vitro and reduces their invasiveness.
A 2008 study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry showed significant differences in Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences scores between three groups: The first consisted of non-cannabis users, the second consisted of users with Δ9-THC detected, and the third consisted of users with both Δ9-THC and CBD detected. The Δ9-THC only group scored significantly higher for unusual experiences than the Δ9-THC and CBD group, whereas the Δ9-THC and CBD group had significantly lower introvertive anhedonia scores than the Δ9-THC only group and non-cannabis user group. This research indicates that CBD acts as an anti-psychotic and may counteract the potential effects of THC on individuals with latent schizophrenia.[9]
So there you go, head bashing legal drugs left the kid a ZOMBOY and he had seizures everyday. Took some MMJ high CBD and got better. Now he can enjoy his life and his Dad can meet his son for the first time.
Stop weed before everyone is healed and the pharmers are put out of business. Who will suffer and die when weed is legal? What is society without people in pain look like? Utopia.
