We hope all our readers out there in Internetland are having a great weekend. May your bowl be full and your green sticky. Here is your weekly collection of cannabis-related videos. If you have a video we should see, send it to joe@hte420times.com.
Rick Simpson And The Cure
This is a lengthy radio interview with Rick Simpson, a man known for his many years of studying cannabis and it’s effect on people with cancer. If you have the time it’s a very informative interview and worth sharing.
Seattle Officials Want Hempfest Moved
Officials in Seattle – worried about Hempfest’s massive size, and I suspect it’s reputation – want the cannabis festival moved from it’s current annual location. Finding a spot for 200,000 people won’t be easy to say the least – but I’m sure if Seattle decides they don’t want Hempfest anymore, there will be plenty of cities lining up for the opportunity to be the host.

A Hemp Powered Car
This is an older video I found today of a NORML conference in 1991, where they unveiled a car powered by hemp seed oil. It’s interesting and worth watching. The abilities of the cannabis plant are bountiful; it’s time we started using them.
The Medical Marijuana And Hemp Expo In Toronto
This weekend the first Medical Marijuana and Hemp Expo is being held in Toronto, Canada. Touted as the first of it’s kind in Canada, the expo resembles the ones we have here in the United States, with speakers, booths, and a 4,600 square foot “Vapor Room,” where Health Canada patients could use to medicate.
What Is Hemp And Why Do We Need It?
A great documentary I found on Youtube that delves into Jack Herer’s book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes.” It includes the history of the book, and the history of cannabis prohibition. An amazing amount of information that every person should know, including the many uses of hemp.
World’s Largest Marijuana Rally On Last Leg
The largest pot rally in the world, the famous Seattle Hempfest, may be gone after this year. Hempfest director Vivian McPeak says that without a big infusion of cash, the rally is too far in debt to continue.
