Hemp History Week
Today marks the beginning of the first annual Hemp History Week. A joint effort between Vote Hemp and the Hemp Industry Association, the week long event is a grassroots educational campaign to raise awareness of the industrial and environmental potential of hemp farming.
Hemp History Week will consist of 185 event across 32 states. Organizers will also be working to collect tens of thousands of hand-signed postcards addressed to President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder asking them to end the ban on hemp farming and let farmers once again grow the versatile and profitable crop. You can download your own postcard here.
And for those who can’t make it to any of the events, but still want to support or get involved in Hemp History Week, you can follow Hemp History Week on Twitter or join the Facebook Page.
