I wrote this song when I heard of the possibility of my beautiful place of birth, Gippsland, being devastated by fracking mining. To help prevent this, I wanted to share a better alternative. Growing hemp is what came to me.
I knew of the many ways this amazing plant can be used and also how it had been a victim of propaganda in the early 20th century. Many of the myths about it are still believed today.
My song joins with the forces of many others to help clear the fear and restrictions placed upon hemp's usage and growth. When we can freely grow it, we can receive all the blessings that this sacred plant was intended to give us—food, shelter, clothing, medicine, and so much more.
