About time the candidate got a nickname. “Dr” is so stuffy (seriously, btw–this “Dr.” business is a misguided tactic. One of Dr.Stein’s strengths is that everyone thinks of her as “Jill.” That’s a plus, even, maybe especially, in a big-time race).

But I’m curious as to whether Ms. Stein has ever touted this, or whether Mr Bie is making it up as he goes along:


“Marijuana is the key to our climate and energy needs…. the US can fulfill all its current energy usage and needs merely by growing Hemp for seed oil and biomass… Jill Stein with her Green New Deal will initiate sweeping reforms that will Legalize Marijuana and institute a Hempen Clean-Energy-based Green Economy. With Hemp, we can raise our own fuel that doesn’t cause Global Warming. Hemp grows so fast, that the US can be energy-independent in a matter of weeks, with never a need for Fracking, Pipelines, “Natural” Gas, Gasoline, Oil, Coal, or Nuclear Power. Drilling Alaska and the Gulf indeed!

I’m all for legalization, and “Ganja Jill” certainly caused my ears to prick up, but a hemp based economy?

    Thanks to FireDogLake contributor Norman Bie for this clarification:

    “Michael: Jill Stein is aware of the scientific facts I sited here and those that you quoted above. She is not anti-science, like Obama has proven to be time after time. Jill Stein is a scientist, and rest assured that she doesn’t deny these scientific facts. I Tweet my stories to Jill Stein, and she is the only person subscribed to my Tweets, besides my two fellow activist-journalists who then re-Tweet them. Am I independent of the campaign? I’d say not: What I publish is approved by Jill Stein: We have an arrangement and she does call me.”

    “Burning biofuels is Carbon Neutral: It caused no Global Warming because it emits no CO2.” Hmmmm.
