Hi. Somehow you found this site, whether through a random search or a deliberate one, I am pleased that you are here and ideally actually reading this ;-) MaryJanesGirl.com was founded to help others become more informed about their enviroment, help inspire others to be active & create change in the community in a positive manner, and encourage others to become involved in the movements that impact their lives. For me, this is currently focusing on Rediscovering Hemp for our environment, functional fitness & nutritional balance for our bodies and being, creating art & writing prose to connect with others. I believe in the tenets of freedom, liberty & happiness my country ( USA )represents, hence my efforts to free/liberate something I believe to be beneficial for all humanity. Somehow, somewhere along our path of progression things seem to have become muddled, forgotten. We lost touch with our history. Hemp is part of american history and very much a part of world history yet it has been shuned, forgotten for the last 80 years or so...why? We are living in the environmental/informational age now, it is hard for most people anymore to still deny the affects of our actions during industrial and technology era's on the environment for the harm we've done to earth and ourselves is evident everywhere. I wonder if we can have both a healthier, cleaner technology & products while still progressing forward with our human endeavors of science? What I do know is the air is dirty and air filters are in many homes and business's now, water quality is poor and bottled water & water filters are the norm, the term "green" is becoming common day lingo for products that are earth friendly, our food supply seems full of pesticides & is GMO, plastics in garbage filling up landfills and oceans for centuries to come, etc. I believe it is time for us to sincerely look at other options of producing fibers, plastics, fuel, food, energy, clothing, paper, medicine, replenishing topsoil for food crops, making building materials, achieving optimal nutrition in diet, etc. In my research, which unofficially spans from 2001 till now, the Hemp plant seems to be the answer again and again. Now let me make clear that I don't believe it is a magic bullet and should replace every "bad" product out there, just that we should really start utilizing hemp again ( people have used hemp for thousands of years history shows) to help compensate some of the damage the other products have done, give farmers a crop they can depend on, offer the consumers more environment friendly products, and allow people to treat/heal themselves if thay are capable and choose to. I hope to inspire and create positive, sustainable change for the future quality of life for all of earths inhabitants. Corny & lofty I know, but still true. :) I advocate about re-legalizing hemp, sustainable living, and a holistic approach to nutrition & exercise.....if you have a desire to know more about any of these topics rummage through the site and/or contact me via mjg@maryjanesgirl.com I am no expert but I am an avid researcher & student, and a good teacher, practitioner. I truly believe that if you live the life you love then you'll love the life you live. Kindest regards, ~maryjanesgirl
