Where Does Your State Stand? It's Time To Strategize for 2015.

 

 

Never before have more than two (2) states legalized industrial hemp in a single year.  In 2014, the momentum generated more than five (5) times the passage of state industrial hemp law of any previous year. Twenty-seven (27) states introduced pro-hemp legislation ranging from feasibility studies, research & farming. Ten (10) states legalized industrial hemp in accordance SEC 7606 of the American Agricultural Act of 2014. This would not have been possible without the passion & hardwork of grassroots activists across the country.
