Hemp hotties…
…and the man behind them, NORML founder R. Keith Stroup. Stroup, a K Street lobbyist, started his pot legalization crusade in 1970 with a $5,000 grant from the Playboy Foundation.
The Boston Herald today reports that the geezers at the head of Boston’s “pot parade” incited kids to get blazed on Boston Common. Some of my Emmanuel College journalism students said they planned to attend. (Lousy, wet weather gave way to sunshine later in the day. I hope my students made it, and took pictures.)
R. Keith Stroup, founder of the National Association for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and a High Times magazine editor, were busted along with some of their followers at Boston’s Freedom Rally.

Groovy. Not sure what it is about marijuana that’s still so revolutionary, but stuff like this still comes up.
We recently commented at our blog (www.the3lb.com) about another festival that was disrupted by a police roadblock in Ontario a couple weeks back. We certainly hope this isn’t a harbinger of things to come.
Perhaps we should have a new term to add to “The Sheeple”this term would be “The Lamb-ple”as the children of the sheeple seem to be even more stupid than their parents,just lead them into a field and tell them what you want them to do!
It’s getting so easy for the manipulators of our culture to get the “addle-brained youths” to comply, it’s frightening.
As everyone reading should know the real reason for banning Hemp for the last few hundred years is that it is a wonder plant which can create many thousands of products(oil,plastics,fuel,paper,food,cloth et.c)without polluting the planet and has been viciously suppressed by the corporate pirates.
Awesome comment tez. Look at the stuff the illuminated Henry Ford was playing with in the 1900-40′s. They act like hemp is something NEW. Its about as new as Ethanol.
Well, not to be nit-picky, but hemp started its journey to the no-no list not hundreds of years ago, but in 1937 with a tax act, . Those who like to think there are usually other reasons than what is told seem to think a patent application, around such time, that would make harvesting hemp a breeze, played a big role in the introduction of the tax act. Interestingly, the guy who pushed for the tax act had a father-in-law who was also important in government. and this father in law, when not in a public role, was a top banker, whose close friend and important client owned a little company out of wilmington, de. that little company would have had some stiff competition if harvesting hemp became easy. Luckily for them, the mauihana tax act passed just in time.
Oh yeah, around the same time, this bigtime west coast newspaper magnate, stopped thinking about rose bud and started writing about another kind of bud and how this bud, when smoked, turned brown men (both those that originated in mexico and africa) into sex crazed machines that could only satisfy their unnatural desires with the forbidden fruit-white women.

By the way tez not to bust your chops since I know why this issue makes you upset with how naive society can be. However it doesn’t help your cause (whatever it may be) to condescend by calling people sheeple and lamb. I see many people who follow this stuff follow WWE types with megaphones and think they are enlightened when they’re no different from those they call sheeple.
Not saying this is you but if people don’t want to willingly change then its best not to waste your breath on them. I was one of those who couldn’t see through the facade but only because of lack of guidance. (Raised by single mother who died during teen years). I eventually came around somehow.
