36 Nations Support #IndustrialHemp but NOT USA. Let #FreedomRing. SIGN #IndustrialHempPetition


Considering that hemp uses a boatload less water than walnuts, rice, and pistachios, I suggest Californians get on this NOW!

Vote Hemp Seeks Your Participation 



Dear Friend,

If thirty-six industrialized nations around the globe are producing industrial hemp, why doesn't the United States allow for hemp's production as well? 

In 1970, industrial hemp was conflated with marijuana and deemed illegal by the Controlled Substance Act.  The United States is the largest importer of industrial hemp, and it's time to correct this mistake! 


The Industrial Hemp Farming Act (S.134), introduced by Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), is a legislative effort to bring hemp home to the United States. It would remove industrial hemp from the controlled substances act and give states the opportunity to establish industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity.   

You already know why legalizing hemp production is so important. Industrial hemp would provide a new agricultural commodity for the American farmer, provide much-needed resources to sustainable industries like textiles and bio-plastics, and help grow our economy from the middle out. Industrial hemp is the non-psychoactive variety of cannabis sativa L, and it's time for its production to be legalized.

The Industrial Hemp Farming Act currently has six co-sponsors -- we need your help now to lend a name and a voice in support of this important legislation.     


It's time to allow industrial hemp to become a domestically produced product. 

Thank you for your support,
