I am just starting a business and see that most of the questions here have not even been answered. I really think it’s a waste of time if someone from this webpage does not help with these questions. The best answer is the answer a hemp company could supply because this is a new product, not really new, but new to us. Please try to answer these questions, I will be glad to then post mine, or it may be answered.
Really!

I am distressed to watch Planet Green and hear hemp in every other sentence. Not because I have a problem with hemp, but because they never mention the fact that all the products they feature are made from imported hemp.
I have yet to see anyone comment on the unfair persecution of industrial hemp in our country, by our government.
Could NAIHC get a show, a spot on a show, or even a commercial on Planet Green network to let people know that hemp could be grown in the US by local farmers?

I would like to produce non THC hemp for food, paper bags and rope. I feel the bag market would be huge. I have access to hundreds of acres of previously used pulled and vacated apple orchards which are in a climate ideal for hemp production. Is there a place in the Continental US that can process hemp for this application and what, if any, federal laws would I have to comply with to take on a venture such as this? It seems that the powers that control paper, cotton, plastic by product would fight a venture such as this solely on a base fear drug platform as they always have. Please, anyone with any information please contact me. thanks.

Has hemp been considered as a source for Bio Diesel? It seems to be an excellent candidate for this, given the density per acre the crop yields and it’s eco friendly growth.

can you use a hemp glue on silk thread and if so will it keep the knot and not change the color of the silk also how fast will it dry?

Can you tell me the THC levels in all of the food items made from industrial hemp?
hulled seeds
unrefined oil
butter
seeds
milk
Given the results of recent research regarding the effect THC might have on Alzheimer’s patients, I thought there might be some beneficial effect on those patients if they consume appropriate levels of THC.
See Maia Szalavitz’s article “Marijuana’s Memory Paradox” based on a paper published in the Neurobiology of Aging” that http://www.msn.com published on 1/10/09.

Will ingestion of hemp based products, (such as seeds, hemp milk, hemp oil, hemp ice cream, hemp cereal, etc.) cause a false positive on a urinalysis test intended to determine if a person has cannibis alkaloids in their body? I have a commercial driver’s license in the USA and the DOT requires random UA’s.

Hey!
I was just curious why this group isn’t making a major push towards a stimulus package going towards hemp cultivation and production? It would stimulate the economy in many ways ranging from the plants ability to produce fuel (in abundance) to its ability to provide a cheap raw resource that substitutes plastics, wood, paper, textiles and food.
It is a baby industry still so the stimulus would all go towards entrepreneurial businesses starting up in hemp as well as tax breaks for companys investing in land or production. Because growing hemp at home and producing it at home is going to be cheaper than transporting it with oil based technology and oil based products, it shouldn’t be hard to get corporate investment and private investment (we are all losing our shirts anyways, might as well invest in something that has the potential to make you big bucks)
The value of North Americas energy needs is measured in something that starts with a T. I am pretty sure a local trillion dollar cornerstone industry is exacly what the world needs in this time of crisis.
Thanks

If industrial hemp has THC levels lower than some store bought products why do I need permission to grow it? How can I get into the hemp industry? I am willing to relocate if I can get a job, do you know where I should look?

I am a proponent of Industrial Hemp. I believe that educating the public between the differences of Marijuana and Industrial Hemp is extremely important if we are to begin to exploit this diverse plant once more and gain the acceptance of the general public…as well as law enforcement. But Law enforcement, in their attempt to be cute and hip can sometimes get in the way of that education. Take the example from Michigan Police who created Operation Hemp. – “Help Eliminate Marijuana Planting.” Though this Acronym is catchy it does not help to educate the general public about the difference between Hemp and Marijuana and I would argue that it actually hurts the cause by confusing once again the differences between the plants.

Here is the article from Michigan’s Daily Press. GWINN – http://www.dailypress.net/page/content.detail/id/515006.html?nav=5003
- More than 1,200 marijuana plants were seized during recent fly-overs conducted across the region, announced officials from the Upper Peninsula Substance Enforcement Team (UPSET) Friday.
As a result of the investigation, arrest warrants are pending on six individuals suspected of manufacturing marijuana and other drug violations, said Jeff Racine, UPSET Commander.
Street value of the 1,200 pot plants is estimated at $1,000-$2,000 each, or $12,000-$24,000 total. Several weapons were also seized in the sting.
The drug bust was part of UPSET’s “Operation HEMP,” which stands for “Help Eliminate Marijuana Planting.” Because of this year’s longer growing season, more pot plants than normal were seen from the air for this late in the year, Racine said.
Operation HEMP covered 12 of the 15 counties in the Upper Peninsula, in search of marijuana plantings, he said.
“This year we had four helicopters so we were able to cover all 12 counties that were covered,” Racine said. Helicopters were provided by Michigan State Police, Michigan National Guard, and U.S. Customs.
Other agencies assisting in Operation Hemp were law officials from the Drug Enforcement Administration, Alcohol-Tobacco-Firearms, the Federal Forest Service, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. Local agencies also assisted in the recovery of plants.
Though many plantings were seen for this late in the season in the U.P., officers are reporting statewide that marijuana planting sightings are down somewhat this year overall, Racine said.
Police across the state are saying this is because more pot plants are being grown indoors as a result of the state’s new marijuana laws allowing medically-authorized patients to grow and use marijuana, he said.
Some patients, as well as some caregivers who are allowed to grow pot, are abusing the law and obtaining permits through fraud, said Racine. This deception is creating more problems for law enforcement in Michigan and the other states which have enacted medical marijuana laws, he said.
In addition to the marijuana seizures and the related pending arrests, UPSET also confiscated drugs and arrested 17 drug suspects from across the U.P. this past week, Racine said.
Nine of the suspects were arrested in Delta County, two in Schoolcraft County and one in Menominee County, Racine said Friday. The remaining suspects were from Marquette and Iron counties. Additional arrests are pending and could double the number of current arrests, he added.
Charges relate to the delivery and possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and prescription drugs.
“We’re seeing a lot more drug use and abuse across the state,” Racine commented. “With that comes more violent crimes and more property crimes.”
To report illegal drug activity, contact UPSET at 1-800-882-8202.

I am Native American and returning to the reservation. As we all know, the unemployment rate on such said reservation land varies to as high as 85%. My question is this..as a sovern nation, is it possible for the Native American to produce this product on Indian lands(specifically) ? Of course following the criteria pertaining to quality of the hemp. It is my personal opnion that this is a viable product that would work well for various reasons. One being the production of products (which number 25,000) that would generate many jobs for reservation people,Natives as well as Whites who reside here. We have legal gaming that employs a limited few. Something of this size with unlimited possibilities, I think would be benifical to Indian Nations. How and where do I begin? This could be the difference in our existance in keeping Native peoples home, verses moving to other areas for employment.
We are not lazy we merely want what was promised to us by the US Government so many years ago..a chance, an opportunity to live like everyone in this Great Nation.
Thank You

I am an Ontario College student, in an environmental program. I am working on a term report involving reducing the stress we put on our Wastewater treatment systems. I have been trying to find Toilet Paper made from Hemp, to conduct experiments on, but it is proving very difficult. I am not even sure if such a product is actually produced! If it is and anyone reading this knows where I can acquire a roll please let me know!
