JULY EDITION 2015

Spring Salad with Chicken & Berries

U.S. Hemp for

Health & Economy

Industrial Hemp is not a drug. It

contains no significant amount of THC,

the primary psychoactive ingredient in

drug varieties of Cannabis. However,

due to outdated and inaccurate drug policy, federal law

still prohibits commercial industrial hemp cultivation.

The movement to legalize hemp farming in the U.S. is

based on potential environmental, health and economic

benefits.

Environment Hemp is a fast-growing renewable resource and requires

no petroleum-based chemicals to grow. Hemp products

help reduce market dependency on synthetics, lumber,

cotton and other non-sustainable industrial materials.

Pollinators thrive on hemp’s high pollen content.

Health

Hemp seed provides Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential

fatty acids, is an easily digested complete protein and a

good source of dietary fiber. It is gluten free and has no

known allergens.

Economy

In Canada, hemp nets farmers $200-$400 per acre.

According to the USDA, soy and corn typically net less

than $160. The American market for hemp products is

the largest worldwide.
