Like Hawaii, thousands of American farmers are suffering from the declining profitability of crops they produce. Many believe that hemp is the answer. The Kentucky Hemp Growers Cooperative president is currently suing the DEA in an effort to allow Kentucky tobacco farmers the right to grow industrial hemp in lieu of their diminishing tobacco crops. Today, the industrial hemp plant is legally grown in 29 countries, including Canada, Germany and China. Now the industry is beginning to see a lot of green.
Consumers are crazy about hemp.
Alterna hopes that by helping Hawaii research the plant, our country will be one step closer to legalizing the growth of this versatile, drug free plant.
