Lack of Seed & Urging Compliance

Hemp production is showing a lot of promise and interest but due to the fact that it’s classified as a controlled substance due to its relation to marijuana fertile seed is both hard to get and expensive. That makes growing hemp extremely difficult and slow going. Oregon farmers can now legally grow help for the first time since 1970 but it will take a number of years to get enough seed to make a viable crop. Hemp has a large list of end products including hemp seed foods, hemp oil, wax, resin, rope, cloth, pulp, paper, and fuel. Hemp does not contain enough of the same components of it’s cousin, marijuana, to make it useful as a narcotic.
