The Effects of Cannabis Legalisation of Hemp Production SHARE
In 1937 when cannabis was made illegal, so was hemp. Hemp is essentially cannabis with little THC. But as cannabis has become increasingly legal, so has the use of hemp for industrial purposes, including paper, building materials, and clothes. Hemp producers more fiber per acre that cotton and can be harvested in a season, unlike trees which take quite sometime to be big enough to be harvested for paper.

Spain's New Vice President Pablo Iglesias is a Proponent of Marijuana Legalization SHARE
Podemos, the leftist political party in Spain, has made a partnership with PSOE. This makes Pablo Iglesias, the leader of Podemos, the Vice President of Spain. Pablo is a firm proponent of cannabis legalisation. Currently cannabis is legal to use in your house in Spain or grow in your home or where it cannot be seen, but in order to have broad development of medical marijuana and better recreational products it needs to be completely legalised. Iglesias and Podemos are working on that.

Good Organic Fertilisers for Cannabis SHARE
Cannabis cultivation is expanding with legalisation and with greater medical and industrial use. It is therefore important to use sustainable methods in growing cannabis. Chemical fertilisers should not be used, as the resources it takes to process them are energy intensive. It's better to use agricultural and home waste to fertiliser cannabis and keep waste out of our landfills and natural bodies of water.

Remove monument of Dr. James Marion Sims from NYC Park SHARE
James Marion Sims was a brutal racist. He's known as the father of modern gynecology. But this was from him operating on the vaginas of enslaved Black women without anesthesia. When he operated on white women he gave them anesthesia. He was a slave owner as well. This man's statue does not belong in Central Park.

Aids Charities Manipulation and Exploitation of Gays SHARE
Charities take massive amounts of money in the name of vague HIV services, and spend almost nothing on the clients. What good are these charities in their present form doing? HIV is now a manageable, treatable disease. This is unlike the early days of the epidemic, where people were dying and going homeless.
