   I was hoping to find out all of the different TYPES of seeds they're gathering… Honestly… whether a global catastrophy happens or not… and whether I, myself, survive or not… the truth is, MOST tree seeds will be fairly useless to the cause. If you consider how long it takes for a tree to reach adulthood, they will be entirely "obsolete" for lack of a better word. The only true way to continue a possibility of life as we know it, would be cannibus, (Marijuana, weed, pot, etc.) NOT for the purpose of SMOKING (morons, yes it's good, but not what I believe it is here for). Hemp has already proven itself to be a HUGELY diverse substance, having uses anywhere from chewing, (subsiding hunger) to parchment, even as much as clothing, and tools. Not only does it have MANY uses, it also doesn't take long to grow.
   For God's sake, if the government is SO upset with it being smoked (which I truly don't understand, because… who-the-hell's business is it of yours) then try growing it with an inhibitor to try lowering or eliminating the THC values in it. But personally, I figure, If I so CHOOSE to use this plant, how am I harming anyone other than myself, which I still haven't found it to be a harm to myself, other than the obvious laziness, elevated mood, and increased hunger… And if you so dare to use this as an excuse, after smoking it, people tend to have a scent about them that makes the act of smoking fairly apperent. But all-in-all, if you are SO "addicted" to THC people know it is IN the body and people have an allergic reaction to it, (which is WHY people get "high") so just like every other "drug"-like substance, someone will find a way to get it out of the body or increase the bodies' ability to create it, thus getting them "high". So, I guess what I'm TRULY getting at, would be, if anyone that gets to this blog and has a link or any knowledge of what kinds of seeds they are picking and choosing for this "Doomsday" Seed Vault, please e-mail me with whatever information you may have. ALSO, if you have ANY information as to HOW to get in contact with the people in direction of what seeds are being chosen and will be chosen, I would do anything in my power to get ~HEMP~ as it is or as it CAN be, as long as removing THC doesn't weaken the usefulness of the plant, is INCLUDED in the seeds chosen. It may very well be one thing CHOSEN by someone… or something, (if you know where I'm going with this) to increase possibility of survival on this planet if it is deemed possible. Again, I'd appreciate any help in either of these two goals, and hope to have a few e-mails in the days to come. Thanks for reading and thanks for anything you've got to say, whether it be agreeing or disagreeing with me, because I love to see things from other people's points of view and have new options of possibilities that can occur or could explain. I'm always open-minded and open to suggestion. My name is Ike, my e-mail address is IkelW@yahoo.com, and I hope to hear from anyone and everyone with an opinion. Thanks, again.

   Hi Ike, don’t be worrying about the smoking or non-smoking. After the “catastrophe” there won’t be anybody around very concerned about the morals of it all. There won’t be any body policing it or any police either. Whole new ball-game. It’ll be back to family and tribal law. The individual will reign supreme. Politicians will be gone.
