American Farmers should be able to capitalize on the nearly 500 million dollars that Americans spend each year on Industrial Hemp products. Sourcing hemp domestically instead of importing from Canada, China, France, and England will stimulate economic development in economically challenged rural communities. Hemp means jobs, American jobs, job that will make rural communities thrive.
Industrial grade hemp is an agricultural crop that unequivocally can not be
used as a drug. Accordingly, it should be under the per view of the
Department of Agriculture, not the Drug Enforcement Authority as it
presently is.
Industrial hemp is intimately apart of American heritage. Betsy Ross
spun the first American flags from hemp fiber. Important historical
documents, including the Discoloration of Independence were transcribed on
hemp paper. During World War II American Farmers were mandated to grow
hemp for plethora of items vital to winning the war.
Please do what YOU can to bring light and leadership to this issue. Your children, neighbor, or your next job depend on it.
Thank you for your interest!!!

Ridiculous that we have to import this stuff when our local farmers are struggling. Legalize it for industrial use already and stop acting like it is the same thing as weed.

Bring these jobs back home. It makes zero sense to hold back our economy over misconceptions. hemp is common sense.
