We Need Industrial Hemp

April 20, 2009 Environment 8 Comments

In December 2007 I wrote a post entitled ‘Congress Wake Up & Let Farmers Grow Industrial Hemp!‘ Since then we’ve had a big shift in the both the Congress and White House.  Hopefully we now have enough leaders that realize industrial hemp is different than pot.

In these economic times we need new entrepreneurs.  Growing and creating durable & green products from industrial hemp is a way to jump start new businesses and create jobs.  Continuing to treat industrial hemp the same as we treat a carcinogenic drug is insane and it puts our country at a disadvantage

    i eat a serving of hemp protein everyday. great source of non-animal based protein, and 50% of RDA of fiber….you won’t get that from soy or whey.

    unfortunately, my hemp protein powder has to be imported from canada.
