New Project : Hemp Documentary

So I decided to officially start my documentary on Cannabis(etymology). I'm sure you have an idea of it, but I don't think you have the whole scope. Here's a quick breakdown.

Hemp - Industrial hemp has many uses, including paper, textiles, biodegradable plastics, health food, and fuel.

Cannabis - Humans have been consuming cannabis since prehistory,[5] although in the 20th century there was a rise in its use for recreational, religious or spiritual, and medicinal purposes

This whole idea stemmed from my father, Christopher Jude Boucher, a hemp pioneer.



So obviously I was Hemp brainwashed as a child, but for a good reason I assume. In our time together, I was introduced to Jack Herer, the author of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes". You can read the whole book for free online.

My idea is a social project for the awareness of this plant, Cannabis. It will be a docUmovie. This is my version of a social documentary/movie. This will allow individuals to share their information while having a great resource online that will wiki-build itself.

Here is another movie that you all might like. It's called "In Pot We Trust". Don't take my pot post as a stoner perception. Sometimes you have to open your mind. Enjoy!

Thankyou for taking the dialogue further. It is only by bringing this subject into the mainstream social dialogue that we can accelerate the change towards industrial hemp for sustainable economies.
