Stop the Drug War: Mexican Poet Javier Sicilia Condemns U.S. Role in Widening Drug Violence
DemocracyNow.org - We end the week with part two of our interview with renowned Mexican poet Javier Sicilia. Last year Sicilia's 24-year-old son, Juan Francisco, was murdered by drug traffickers in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
In his son's memory, Sicilia created the Movement for Peace with Justice and Dignity to urge an end to the drug war. Sicilia is now in the United States to launch a month-long peace caravan this August after leading a similar caravan across Mexico last year. "We are outraged because the war has done nothing for us -- it has not solved the problem," Sicilia says. "We need to create awareness and consciousness so American people know that behind every drug consumer and behind every use of guns, we pay with dead people."
Hemp seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a
meal, sprouted, made into hemp milk (akin to soy milk), prepared as
tea, and used in baking.
Hemp-seed is usually very safe for those unable to tolerate nuts,
gluten, lactose, and sugar.
In fact, there are no known allergies to hemp foods.
Hemp-seed contains no gluten and therefore would not trigger symptoms
of celiac disease
The fresh leaves can also be eaten in salads. Products include cereals,
frozen waffles, hemp tofu, and nut butters.
A few companies produce value added hemp seed items that include the
seed oils, whole hemp grain (which is sterilized by law in the United
States, where they import it from China and Canada), dehulled hemp seed
(outer shell), hemp flour, hemp cake (a by-product of pressing the seed
for oil) and hemp protein powder.
Hemp is also used in some organic cereals, for non-dairy milk somewhat
similar to soy and nut milks, and for non-dairy hemp "ice cream."
