Social Political Issue of Cannabis
In 1937, Congress passed the Marijuana Tax Act, which placed all Cannabis culture under the regula- tory control of the U.S. Treasury Department. The Act required the registra- tion and licensing of all hemp growers with the Federal Government in an effort to restrict production of marijuana in the United States (Dempsey; Rawson, 1992; Ehrensing).
During World War II, when imports of abaca and jute were unavailable, the Government instituted an emergency program to produce hemp as a do- mestic substitute. USDA’s Commodity Credit Cor- poration contract- ed with War Hemp Industries, Inc., a quasi-official organiza- tion, to produce planting seed and fiber. Production peaked in 1943 and 1944. After the war, America banned hemp in 1955.
#4 Swarming Behaviors
This study by looks at how neighboring seeds when sprouting start to alter their behavior to join to neigh- boring seeds. The top photo shows how the right seed root moves continu- ally closer to its neighbor- ing root. The bottom image then shows the collective behavior of the roots and t
Simulated Swarming Roots The same study began to simulate the non random grow using a systems of particles and their behav- ior with every step. Here you can see two different setting in the formula. Top image is a translation from the growth pattern create on the previous page. The bottom image shows the simulation that took the same rules as above..
