HEMP VS. ALCOHOL. Content Warning.
My ancestors on my dad’s side grew hemp for clothes, the first American flag, shoelaces, etc. Hemp was stronger and more durable for clothes, etc. My ancestor’s hemp farms were burned to the ground by the alcohol and cotton industries because they wanted to destroy their competition. My ancestors lived long ago. Here we are in America and other countries that would give us alcohol as a medicine to kill pain. Alcohol is a death toxin to body organs. I cannot drink alcohol, cannot metabolize it. I cannot take Tylenol or Ibuprofen because all three would kill me. I have stage 2 kidney disease, 5 spinal fractures, Thalassemia, a Mediterranean anemia, and fatty liver. I use hemp for my pain. If someone asks me not to use it for pain. I offer them my 5 spinal fractures in trade with them. Funny they walked off.
