The industrial hemp industry today is proving to be a thriving commercial success with estimated annual retail sales of $400 million. Growing hemp in the U.S. will allow American farmers to supply American manufacturers with hemp for their products as well as create processing and manufacturing jobs in rural farming communities.
Unlike farmers in most industrialized nations across the world, American farmers are unable to participate in the burgeoning hemp economy because they are prohibited from growing hemp domestically.
Currently, all hemp-based raw materials (fiber and seed) must be imported from other countries. We are advocating that the federal government change its policy towards industrial hemp. Every Product derived from Hemp is legal, but the plant itself is Illegal. That is Crazy!!! Hemp is used to make over 30,000 products including paper, plastic, clothing, fuel, construction material, food and much much more. Hemp is both Eco-friendly and Renewable. Clean up the Earth! Let Farmers Grow the Economy!!
Thank you for taking action.
Dear Congress,
Now is the time to take a stand to help the environment and help grow the Economy with one simple piece of legislation, allow our Farmers to grow Hemp. Hemp is not Marijuana, but a very useful industrious plant. Hemp was grown in WWII and helped win the war, Now let’s do it again and win the war and save our environment and the economy, by allowing our Farmers to grow Hemp.
