    HempStalk's Interests
GeneralCannabis sativa is the oldest and most resourceful crop sown. In fact, sativa means "useful" in Latin. Industrial hemp could supply most of mankind's fuel, fiber and food needs and will be the agent of transformation for our economy away from many toxic petrochemical products to nontoxic, agriculturally based alternatives.



Industrial Hemp is Legal in many countries throughout Europe and Asia, including the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and China (where it was never prohibited).



"Over 25,000 products can be manufactured from hemp, from cellophane to dynamite." Popular Mechanics, 1938



"Make the most of the hemp seed, and sow it everywhere!" George Washington



Henry Ford built a plastic car made of fiber from hemp and wheat straw in 1941



"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country." Thomas Jefferson



Heroes
















A little rebellion now and then is a good thing. - Thomas Jefferson


In any civilized society, it is every citizen's responsibility to obey just laws. But at the same time, it is every citizen's responsibility to disobey unjust laws. - Martin Luther King Jr.

The reason marijuana is illegal has very little to do with drugs, and is really about money and the continued centralization of economic and political control. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical industry made up the "reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using racist propaganda, calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal. There is a truth that must be heard! That's what the Hempstalk Festival is all about.

Tree of Life by The Human Revolution




History of Hemp

We believe that the main reason hemp is illegal today is because of biodiesel's potential. The first diesel engines (by Rudolph Diesel in 1894) were invented to run on hempseed oil; petroleum wasn't synthesized to mimic hempseed oil for over a decade. Therefore hempseed oil was the primary fuel for automobiles for over 30 years after the invention of the first internal combustion engine.

Entry into the biodiesel market has very low capital entry requirements and is, therefore, not centralized. Among the benefits of using biodiesel:

  • Start an economic boom!
  • Use vegetable seed oil (biodiesel).
  • Run any diesel engine with no engine conversion at all.
  • Make biodiesel from hemp, soybean, rapeseed/canola and safflower seed oil
  • Save family farms.
  • Return economic control to the people!
  • Naturally decentralize wealth.
  • Stop global warming.
  • Stop A lot of toxic pollution.
  • Create a useful byproduct: food.

Petroleum is Out of Balance; Biodiesel is Sustainable and In Balance.

In comparison, petroleum is capital intensive and, therefore, centralized. To maintain market share, the petroleum industries wanted to prohibit hemp.

Who I'd like to meet:
John Trudell
Born of mixed tribal blood, John Trudell grew up in and around the Santee Sioux reservation near his hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. The struggle against economic and cultural deprivation would, in time, become the raw material for his uncompromising artistic vision.

Trudell, a Vietnam Veteran, served in the U.S. Navy from 1963-1967, attended college for a while and then dropped out. In 1969, Trudell participated in the occupation of Alcatraz Island by Indians of All Tribes, becoming a spokesman for Indians of All Tribes. After the Indians of All Tribes occupation ended in 1971, Trudell worked with the American Indian Movement, becoming national Chairman of AIM in 1973. Trudell was chairman of AIM from 1973 until 1979. In February of 1979, Trudell's mother-in-law, wife and three children were killed in a fire of unknown origin.

It was through this horrific tragedy, that Trudell began to find his voice as an artist and poet, writing, in his words, "to stay connected to this reality. The lines were my bombs," he continues, "my explosions, my tears." Source: JohnTrudell.com


Folk Uke
is an eclectic acoustic folk duo comprised of Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson featuring perfectly melded harmonies and sharp, often biting wit.

We were inspired by many of the agreeable greats of the Folk, Country, and Americana genres. Our favorite chords are C, F, and G. So, if you’d like to play along, well, it’s that easy. Of our infamous families, the two of us had been the musical holdouts until we gave into the force and began writing and playing music together. Armed with a ukulele and a guitar, we penned songs such as ‘Shit Makes the Flowers Grow’, ‘Knock Me Up’, and ‘Motherfucker Got Fucked Up’ and we thought, “What a crime it would be to keep these national treasures to ourselves. How can we keep silent when we are the voice of a nation?” You may not hear us on the radio, since our songs have been described as “inappropriate”, “off-color”, “not ready for mainstream” and “NSFW”(Not Safe For Work). Our debut EP, ‘Folk Uke’, is self-titled, as are we. It was produced by Abe Guthrie and ourselves. “Family values” would be the common chord in this unprecedented collection of songs, since we let our Dads take the solos and chime in when they were compelled to do so. It was the least we could do for our executive producers. It made them feel good and that made us feel good; so we took the chance that it would make thousands of people feel good and we printed thousands of copies. - Cathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson.


The Human Revolution
is a group of multi-talented musicians who perform original music featuring positive lyrics and body-shakin’ grooves. With a cast of players that reads like an atlas, this multi-cultural group plays songs in a variety of styles and genres. From roots reggae to original rock, Island to country and Latin to bluegrass, the songs transition beautifully from one to another always highlighting the common theme of togetherness and self-awareness.


Jack Herer
If all fossil fuels and their derivatives, as well as trees for paper and construction, were banned in order to save the planet, reverse the greenhouse effect and stop deforestation; then there is only one known annually renewable natural resource that is capable of providing the overall majority of the world's paper and textiles; meet all of the world's transportation, industrial and home energy needs, while simultaneously reducing pollution, rebuilding the soil and cleaning the atmosphere all at the same time... and that substance is the same one that has done it before . . . CANNABIS/HEMP/MARIJUANA! Author of the "The Emperor Wears No Clothes"


The State of Jefferson
is a versatile group of multi-instrumentalists that came together through a mutual need to heal the world with booty-shakin’. Over the past six years a cast of sonic sorcerers has kept the SOJ militia alive and well. Yes the lineup has been varied. At the heart of this "right now" orchestra are corps membeers Ryan "Beavs" Redding(Bass, Uke), Joey Ginet(Strings, Harps,vox), Mikey Stevens(Trumpet, Guitar), Easy Vestnys (Keys, Vocals) and Duke Davis(Reeds, Percussion). With these soldiers at the helm, you never know who will be onboard as we chant down babylon with our positive minds riding to ZION on the grooves that make your body move. Standing Room Only, or a ten piece band playin to a five piece audience, WE WILL REPRESENT!


Herbivores
The Seattle Hempfest house band, the Herbivores, remain active in the political scene in order to effect changes in policies from the drug laws to the W.T.O. I don't mind putting my ass on the line and my mouth on the mic to sing out against the kinds of policies that led to the Battle of Seattle. Love, human rights, environmental protections, and a good party, is what we're all about.


Los Marijuanos
are the new breed of Mexican Pro-Pot-Poets with 8 years under their belt they have been half way around the world. Two time (13th and 14th Annual) High Times Cannabis Cup performers in Amsterdam, Also 2 year co-headliner for the great Seatle Hempfest performing next to Kottonmouth Kings, Sir MixALot, Daz & Kurupt and Badazz from the Dog Pound and others, 5 year leaders in the Million Marijuana March in downtown Chicago, IL plus dozens of hemp fests featured in multiple magazines which include: High Times, The Source, Murder Dog, Ill Tip to name a few. Performing always for the cause, Los Marijuanos have also been featured on the Latin Throne DVD. With their strong R&B hooks sung by PonyBoy and the stories of real life situations of the Barrio and to end the drug wars and for the legalization of Marijuana this group cannot be silenced. Ponyboy has blessed many other Latin Hip Hop artists with the opportunity to collaborate in different musical projects. Ponyboy has done hooks for artists such as: Kinto Sol, El Chivo, Latin Assassin, So-low, FCM Click, The Untouchables and countless others.


Mystical Soup
is an original 5 to 7 piece band. We are known for fluently playing musical Styles of Rock, Pop, Blues, Fusion, Reggae & Soul. Mystical Soup began forming in the late 1990’s even though most of its members have been playing together (in some band) for over a decade. The core elements of Mystical Soup have compiled over a forty song original repertoire and seem to play together effortlessly.

The Green Goddess is afoote and the singularity is near!

Prohibiting the cultivation of this ancient plant, hemp, the most productive source of fiber, oil and protein on our planet, is evil. In its place we have industries that give us processes and products that have led to unprecedented ecological crisis and worldwide destruction of the biological heritage that we should bequeath to our children, grandchildren and future generations.

The reason cannabis is illegal has very little to do with drugs, and is really about money and the continued centralization of economic and political control. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no modification. Hemp oil is the reason the petrochemical industry made up the "reefer madness" myth. They renamed hemp, using racist propaganda, calling it marijuana, and lied to make it illegal.
