mills with cannabis,
allowing a colonial press
free from English control.
Hemp is Legal

A little rebellion
now and then
is a good thing.
Thomas Jefferson
In any civilized
society, it is
every citizen's
responsibility to obey
j ust laws. But at the
same time, it is every
citizen's responsibility
to disobey
unjust laws.

Archaeologists agree that cannabis was among the first crops purposely cultivated by human beings at least over 6,000 years ago, and perhaps more than 12,000 years ago.
The most resourceful crop on earth, cannabis yields industrial hemp for canvas, oil, fiber, and paper among other things; a harmless medicine for gravely ill individuals; and a source of recreation for millions of people around the world.
Hemp prohibition is the result of propaganda by the petrochemical, cotton, and wood-based paper industries, who foresaw competition from hemp. Virtually anything that can be made from petroleum can be made from hempseed and other vegetable oils at a much lesser cost, and hemp fiber is many times more durable and resourceful than cotton or wood-based paper. Let's restore our right to grow this resourceful crop!
We can take the first steps for the rest of our country toward an energy source based on sustainability, life and growth, as well as naturally based food, medicine, sacrament, and recreation. Industrial Hemp will save many farms and cannabis will be regulated and sold through state liquor stores, with tax proceeds generating millions of dollars toward the General Fund, thus ending the unjust war on cannabis.
Reasons we think OCTA will be the first to legalize!
Help OCTA move forward to stop the War on Cannabis by challenging the 1937 Marihuana Tax Act, it's credibility and effectiveness. With your help, we can do it!
