-2001-
"The remainder of the plant — stalks and
sterilized seeds — is what some people refer to as 'hemp.'
However, "hemp" is not a term that is found
in federal law."
"Over 25,000 products can be manufactured from [Industrial] hemp,
from cellophane to dynamite."

10 Year Anniversary of USDA Report on Industrial HempThe last USDA status report about the potential for industrial hemp as an economically viable
alternative crop for American farmers was conducted in January of 2000, and here is what it summized: "Industrial
hemp has been the focus of official interest in several States. However, hemp and marijuana are different varieties of Cannabis
sativa, which is classified as a controlled substance in the United States. With Canada now allowing hemp production, questions
have been raised about the demand for hemp products. U.S. markets for hemp fiber (specialty textiles, paper, and composites)
and seed (in food or crushed for oil) are, and will likely remain, small, thin markets. Uncertainty about long run demand
for hemp products and the potential for oversupply discounts the prospects for hemp as an economically viable alternative
crop for American farmers."
The Hemp Werx Research Department has decided to undergo our own study of the
Indsustrial Hemp industry for the past 10 years and see if we can give the United States Agricultural Department any new advise
on whether, Industrial Hemp, is a "viable alternative crop for American farmers."
The United States of
America is the largest importer of refined hemp products for industrial and consumer use. The largest importer because it's
raw production is illegal in America. Or is it?
We look forward to living up to our mission statement of "Presenting
the Past, Revealing the Present and Creating the Future" of Industrial Hemp and it's advocacy of giving the American
Farmer a choice to decide whether or not it's a "viable alternative crop".

importance to the State; the province of life or death; the road to survival or ruin. It is mandatory that it be thoroughly
studied.

Hemp seeds are a complete, digestible, plant-based protein source containing all ten
essential amino acids. Compared to soy, hemp does not contain enzyme inhibitors and phytates, so the nutrients in hemp can be easily absorbed by the body. It is also free of the
allergy causing components found in soy and dairy. Hemp is an ideal protein alternative
Hemp fiber is very strong and has absorbent, insulative properties.
In China, the fiber from hemp is widely used to make socks and bulletproof clothes as well as top-grade suits
Hemp can be grown organically. Only eight, out of about one hundred known pests, cause
problems, and hemp is most often grown without herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. Hemp is also a natural weed suppressor
due to fast growth of the canopy

paper can be recycled up to seven times
Hemp fiberboard produced was found to be twice as strong as wood-based fiberboard.

Hemp
can replace most toxic petrochemical products. Research is being done to use hemp in manufacturing biodegradable plastic products:
plant-based cellophane, recycled plastic mixed with hemp for injection-molded products. Hemp oil was used in varnishes until
1937
