Cannabis and Petro: Echoes of the 20th Century

Cannabis and Petro: Echoes of the 20th Century -Hideo Nagayoshi The cannabis regulations of the 20th century were heavily influenced by the emergence of the oil industry. Up until the early 20th century, cannabis was utilized for a variety of applications. In Japan, cannabis was employed for a diverse range of products, including clothing, ropes for securing boats, tarps for covering loads, and laundry lines. Additionally, it was used in the straps of wooden sandals and the warp threads of tatami mats. "Geta and tatami?" While it might seem distant now, in an era before sneakers and hardwood floors, the straps of geta and zori sandals, along with the warp threads of tatami mats, were integral to Japanese life. I've found myself in despair more than once when the straps of my geta or zori snapped. Thus, for the Japanese before World War II, hemp was not merely essential; it was woven into the very fabric of their lives. The woody stems, known as ogara, are processed into chips and blended with soil or plaster to construct walls. Hemp seeds, known as onomi, can be enjoyed raw. In Japan, they are the slightly larger, round seeds that are commonly included…

The Environmental Toll of Pesticides: The Hazards and Consequences of Neonicotinoid Pesticides

Neonicotinoid pesticides are chemicals designed to target the nervous systems of crop-damaging insects, effectively eliminating pests. These synthetic compounds, derived from nicotine, were introduced in the 1990s. Neonicotinoid pesticides are frequently applied directly to crop seeds or leaves, or incorporated into the soil, where they are absorbed. Due to their long-lasting effects, they have been favored by farmers. However, their high persistence has become a major issue, as these pesticides can have severe consequences not only for crops but also for the surrounding environment and ecosystems. Of particular concern is the harmful impact they have on critical pollinators, such as…

The 2024 Tokyo governor election policy recommendations Negative legacy? Solar panel mandates See " Marijuana in Tokyo." It is predicted that by 2050, 70% of Tokyo's residential buildings, and 50% overall, will be replaced by new construction. Against this backdrop, the Koike administration, in its second term, plans to implement a system that will require new buildings to install solar panels, insulation, and energy conservation starting in April 2025. This is a policy aimed at achieving a "carbon half," a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions in Tokyo by 2030, but some are opposed to the mandate on the grounds that it will lead to involvement in genocide, such as forced labor in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region where many solar panels are manufactured, increased economic burden, and concerns about solar power generation. However, there are also those who oppose the mandate on the grounds that it would lead to genocide, including forced labor in Xinjiang, where many solar panels are manufactured. Under the system, major builders supplying more than 20,000 m2 of total floor space in Tokyo are obligated to install solar power generation equipment on newly constructed buildings. Another system is the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's ordinance on rooftop…

The power of the deep state that moves the world: A thorough analysis of its influence both at home and abroad

The Deep State is a concept that refers to a hidden power structure that exists separately from the overt government and public institutions and influences important policy decisions of the nation. It refers to a situation in which political or military organizations, bureaucracies, intelligence agencies, and the financial world are secretly connected and are believed to exercise power beyond the general public and the public decision-making process. The concept of the deep state is said to have originated in Turkey, where it arose from the influence of the country's military, intelligence agencies and secret nationalist organisations between the 1960s and…

The Deep State’s Destruction of the World’s Soil and Microorganisms

The Deep State refers to the elite of bureaucrats and business who wield influence behind the scenes of the government and are deeply involved in agricultural policy.

Their aim is to establish political and economic dominance by controlling agricultural production through chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and seed technology, and by controlling the food supply. The oil industry is involved in agriculture through the supply of petroleum products, which are the raw materials for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and dominates the market by strengthening agriculture's dependence on oil.…

Hemp Planting Stops Desertification

Hemp can fertilize soil and restore ecosystem health. In most cases, hemp cultivation does not require pesticides and promotes the growth of microorganisms in the soil. Hemp roots also stabilize soil, help other plants grow, and prevent desertification. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is a major factor in the deterioration of soil health. These chemicals kill beneficial microorganisms in the soil and disrupt natural nutrient circulation. As a result, soil loses fertility and crop yields and quality decline. Excessive use of chemical fertilizers can run into groundwater and rivers, causing eutrophication. Eutrophication promotes the overgrowth of algae, which…
