The document proposes establishing a USA Hemp Museum branch and promoting marijuana tourism in Lake Havasu City, AZ to boost the local economy. It suggests using hemp and medical marijuana to help citizens and address issues like the smelly sewers. Covering infrastructure with hemp materials and investing tourism revenues in public works could empower citizens while generating tax income. The options are embracing these opportunities or continuing failed prohibition policies. Recommendations include enforcing voters' will, applying hemp solutions, and combining education and entertainment through the proposed museum and festivals.

USA Hemp Museum, a private museum

Lake Havasu City, AZ to promote
marijuana tourism and share exhibits
with other hemp museums i.e. Paul
Stanford’s THCF Museum, or Chris &
Mikki Conrad’s work and road shows
educational tours in colleges.
4. Vision Statements
According to Henry Ford, hemp plastic
is 10x stronger than steel.
Hemp plastics covering the sewer,
stopping the smell, turning LHC’s
environment around, can return it to
town founder Robert P. McCullough’s
original tourist Mecca vision.
5. Vision Statements
Marijuana tourism as another Havasu
Miracle like the London Bridge bonus
idea, giving citizens opportunities to
open clubs and engage in other
enriching aspects hemp offers.
6. Vision Statements
Invested profits into public works
projects, and citizens also, making
successful hemp products and
businesses, medicines, generating
additional tax and other promotion
revenue. Social media is a powerful,
well worked tool.
7. Vision Statements
City and citizens earning income via
safe affordable access to quality legal
marijuana for recreational, religious,
health, hemp etc. uses.
8. Goals and Objectives
Use Marijuana tourism by the Colorado
River to bring many, many visitors to
Lake Havasu City, AZ (LHC) and other
local resort communities to empower the
economies, dispensaries, and citizens.
9. Goals and Objectives
Apply effective medical marijuana to
illness suffered by the town’s senior,
guests and other in need populations.
10. Goals and Objectives
Advertise in the media to promote LHC,
hemp vacation and living opportunities.
‘Hemped in Havasu.’
11. Goals and Objectives
Encourage LHC, AZ as a perfect place to
set up new medical, businesses, R&D,
entrepreneurs, families, and other
positive based, constructive
opportunities.
12. Goals and Objectives
Empower the hemp solution to economic
problems. Read Hemp For Victory:
Trillion Dollar Crop by R. M. Davis.
13. Today’s Situation
Lake Havasu City could use an additional
income source from taxes, citizens from
hemp medicine, businesses from hemp
products and services, like a beauty shop
that is everything hemp from hair & nails
to clothing and shoes.
14. Today’s Situation
The state of Arizona charges the
extortion rate of $400 per medical
marijuana card. In California the medical
marijuana card is about $35.
Only a few politicians, like Raul Grijalva
Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich and Barney
Frank, stand up to the big government
policies that hurt citizens.
15. Today’s Situation
The expensive sewer system stinks in the
summer.
If you’re smelling the sewer, you are
breathing the sewer. Air borne particles
cause the smell & are not healthy.
16. Today’s Situation
The town’s open sewer needs covering.
Marijuana tourism & a hemp plastic /
hempcrete cover on the sewer are the
one two punches to fill the houses,
hotels, apartments, shops, schools,
beaches, theatres, restaurants & river
side all year round.
17. Today’s Situation
With this much available land, we have an
opportunity to take a leadership role in industrial
hemp. Fukushima is in a triple nuclear
meltdown, with trash from the 2011 tsunami on
the way, some already here. Suggesting to all
nuclear plants, they all leak radiation all the
time, use hemp plastic, lead and hempcrete
covers to nuclear (nu-clear - clear to the atoms)
plants. Start with Paul Benhaim for the plastics.
18. How Did We Get Here?
Albert Einstein, Nicola Tesla, George
Washington Carver and others smoked a
lot of hemp and helped move humanity
forward. The folks in charge said hell no
and made the inspirational hemp plant
illegal for a number of stupid reasons, all
of which served their greed.
19. How Did We Get Here?
Hemp was made illegal in 1937, one of
the reasons for global warming. This
blocked hemp’s solutions for clean and
low cost papers, fabrics, fuels, foods,
medicines… and opened the market to
toxic greed.
20. How Did We Get Here?
Government was manipulated (read The
Web of Debt by Ellen Brown) and
committed the national direction to toxic
products over natural, non-toxic hemp.
For example, toxic energy could have
been replaced by hemp, hydro, solar,
algae, wind and magnetic energies.
21. How Did We Get Here?
McCullough built Lake Havasu City on a
wonderful bend of the Colorado River.
Havasu has a strong reputation for tourism
innovation. Fireworks on “Lake Havasu” is a
lure for tourists that still works.
LHC that was designed with tourism in mind,
with plenty of room for expansion in all fields,
which makes it a perfect place to prosper from
this new information age.
22. How Did We Get Here?
LHC built a sewer that stinks in the
summer, chasing many of the tourists
away. It’s tough to get your party on in
the summer with the smell of raw
sewage (vs the old, contents contained,
septic tanks system)
Failure to implement the hemp solution
of using hemp building materials to build
or repair the sewer have been ignored.
23. How Did We Get Here?
Hemp prohibition has contributed to the
decline in our civilization by transforming
tax paying citizens into prisoners for
interacting with a plant.
Medical marijuana votes from the last
century to as recently as 2012 in AZ, the
people have voted to make medical
marijuana legal.
24. How Did We Get Here?
World Economy Crash 2008, housing
fraud, creative talent used as feed for
Prison, Inc. in the war on drugs...
Local, national & global interconnected
problems that have reached from the
heights of banking and governments to
the homeless on the streets.
25. Available Options
Continue current trends of a war against
the people that’s destroying our lives or
support marijuana tourism for LHC, i.e.
Spring Break, summer vacation, medical
and other applications of the hemp
solution.
26. Available Options
Hemp can help empower the town’s
citizens, tourists and economy with this
low cost, easy to grow multi-dimensional
constructive trillion dollar plant. The
other option is to keep on pretending not
to know hemp can help.
27. Available Options
Institute a fair marijuana tax for most
non-industrial, i.e. recreational forms of
the plant. Other products, standard tax
rates can apply and still turn a deficit into
a surplus.
Medical marijuana and religious uses
should be tax free, just like Facebook!
28. Available Options
This hemp based strategy is crop
financed so there’s no need for city
budget expenditures.
There are always some old hippies
around with a bunch of seeds they’ve
been waiting to get into the ground.
29. Recommendations
Enforce the voted Will of the People,
stop the drug war.
Institute a crop financed HEMP FOR
VICTORY program to consciously and
wisely apply the plant to problems in
need of solution.
30. Recommendations
Institute marijuana tourism, industrial
hemp and other medical marijuana
strategies to increase positive
empowerment on all fronts.
31. Recommendations
Incorporate hemp building materials into
LHC’s infrastructure including covering
the sewers, building and repairing the
buildings & roads with locally grown
materials, and create a back exit road
out of the city in case the current exits
get blocked by a flood or other disaster.
32. Recommendations
Combine education with entertainment
and open a USA Hemp Museum as a
tourist attraction in Lake Havasu City.
Offer classes, conventions and retreats to
help people learn the best way to re-
incorporate this super plant.
33. Recommendations
Reward politicians, citizens & companies who do
the right thing for The People which is always
the highest good for all concerned, using
wisdom and truth as the guiding principles.
Have hemp / marijuana festivals like what is
being done in the Catskills, Seattle, New York
City and other hemp events.
34. Recommendations
Empower a group of local medical
marijuana doctors.
Encourage local colleges to offer an
agricultural degree in hemp.
