"Hemp is back"-festival, Stockholm, later summer of 2011

The greatest service that can be rendered to any country
                                                               is to add a useful plant to its culture

Awareness

Dear reader,
the time has come to do your duty. The duty of a responsible, thinking, feeling, independent human being. The duty to stand up for truth, justice, compassion and sustainability. The inherent instinct of survival is our nature, so why do we then work against it? Against our survival, against nature.

Look around the world we're living in.

The strife for economic advantage has driven this planet to a disgrace. What good will the money you're making be, if you can't breathe the air, drink the water nor eat the foods without getting dangerous toxins into your body?

Enough. We are all aware of this suffering. What is to be done, is the question?

To become aware of the solution. It's right in front of us, if you look at it without prejudices.

The solution is hemp.

As we are still way too few who've understood the truth of the matter, we need to bring awareness to the larger public. How they've been deceived into believing, that the most precious plant this planet has to offer is one not to touched, not to be looked at, not to be tasted - subdued into believing, through manipulation and fear of the unknown. 

Awareness is the key. To spread the concreteness of the plants benefits, to make people understand it in the concrete form, not the abstract one. To really experience hemp in all of its forms; only then will we be able to return it to the role it was meant to have in humankind's symbiotic relationship to nature.

Therefore, no more passive waiting. Awareness must spread and it must spread in a way that it can't be denied. Touched, smelled, tasted, seen and heard. Once awareness is achieved, demand soon follows.

This is the presentation of the "Hemp is Back"-festival. I'm intent on arranging, in Stockholm, the greatest fair/festival/market/street fest yet to be seen in modern history. The greatest in the sense of concrete social and environmental value.

The festival 

Therefore I call upon you, whoever you may be, to do your duty for the benefit of yourself, whole of nature and it's inhabitants. It can be done, only if we put our minds and hearts together for a common goal. The goal of this festival is to raise the awareness, and thus, the demand for hemp in all of its forms. And when demand is high, sales go...

The idea is that you contribute your scientific/cultural knowledge, business ideas, artistic talents, social aptness or other skills in creative ways, to make this festival mind boggling. We need to bring hemp, in all of its forms, to the mass public - enabling them to see, hear, touch, feel and taste hemp, convincing the senses. What we must do, on a larger scale, is what happens in the film Chocolat.

I would like all stakeholders to show your true creativity and entrepreneurial capabilities, by coming up with your own captivating way of presenting hemp. Micromanagement in a top-down fashion on my part would be the main aspect preventing this event from taking place. I will coordinate all the actors wanting to participate and make means meet ends, before the event and on location, but the rest is up to you. 

Therefore, I wish that you are willing to do what is required of you. Your duty. It needs not much money, but it does need your heart and mind to fully cooperate - with yourself and others. Let's change the world for the better, together.

Important

Please be aware of that many Swedes are very uneducated in regards to hemp. It means that many Swedes think of hemp as marijuana and Swedes are, generally, very drug conservative (mostly because of brainwashing). Therefore any association to hemp as marijuana is strictly forbidden, in any form. Yes, I know that the only difference is the THC-content, but we must compromise. We want to make people aware of hemp's wonders, without associating ourselves to the smoking culture and scare them off. Otherwise the festival might be a flop, as many people will think, "This is another one of those weed-smoking-good-for-nothing"-festivals.
