Hemp, Inc has become the newest member of one of the most proactive organisations in the industrial hemp industry, the National Hemp Association. As a gold member, Hemp, Inc. will be able to reach more hemp businesses with multi-channel exposure.
The National Hemp Association (NHA) is a mission-driven, non-profit organisation dedicated to the re-birth of industrial hemp in America which helps connect farmers, processors, manufactures, researchers, investors and policy makers to accelerate the growth of this important industry in the United States.
NHA has also launched a Federal Campaign on Veteran's Day on November 11, 2015 to legalise industrial hemp on a federal level. An American hemp flag, made of industrial hemp grown in Kentucky, was flown over Washington, DC to celebrate the versatile crop, while drawing attention to how hemp can provide a significant source of jobs for veterans and rural farming families.
According to the NHA's press release released November 9, 2015, “Once considered America's most important cash crop, hemp seeds today cannot be transported across state lines and hemp farmers cannot obtain bank accounts or get crop insurance. Industrial hemp is legal in 30 countries around the world. In the US, industrial hemp is classified as a schedule 1 controlled substance (along with narcotics such as heroin and LSD). Advocates hope to restore the industrial hemp industry through passage of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2015, which will legally define the difference between hemp and marijuana and will remove hemp from the Controlled Substances Act.
” Hemp, Inc recently entered into a definitive five-year term agreement to sell its industrial hemp fibre from its decortication plant in North Carolina to Hemp Blue which will purchase the raw hemp fibre for the production of its hemp denim fabric and manufacture their hemp denim apparel line in the United States all from hemp grown in the United States.
