The problem: It is illegal. It is hemp, better known by the name given to its leaves: marijuana. Despite the legal obstacle, a growing number of people in Kentucky are saying what gubernatorial candidate Gatewood Galbraith has said for years Q that hemp is a good source of fiber that could be used for a multitude of purposes. "This industry could, by itself, replace tobacco in the state," said Paul Peters of Elizabethtown, who has urged state officials to legalize non-narcotic hemp production. He hopes to help develop markets if hemp production is legalized. University of Kentucky agronomists Morris Bitzer and Scott Smith said they are skeptical about whether hemp could be effectively produced in Kentucky, let alone whether it could replace tobacco. Bitzer and Scott said there are other fiber crops that seem to have greater potential and fewer hurdles to clear before they can be produced legally. Smith, the chairman of UK's agronomy department, said he has seen no evidence to suggest there is a market for any hemp product beyond coarse fiber, or rope. Despite his skepticism, Smith acknowledges that not much is known about hemp or its marketability. "The real question is one I can't answer, and that is: TCan it be a serious commercial enterprise?' " he said. "There is not anybody around here who claims to know much about it." Smith and Bitzer said they are concerned that renewed discussion about legal hemp production is a cover for something more sinister. "My suspicion is that this is a spillover in part from the interest in legalizing marijuana production," Smith said. Advocates of legal hemp production couldn't disagree more. They say hemp plants could be selectively bred to have low levels of THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the active drug in marijuana. They contend it could compete with everything from cotton and wood to gasoline and plastic, providing basic needs economically without harming the environment. That raises the question of how law enforcement authorities would tell the difference between low- and high-THC hemp. The answer, in Canada, Great Britain and other countries where it has been tried, is to have registered, licensed fields closely monitored by police through a program to test THC levels. How well that works in practical terms is one of the questions being debated. Bill Ruzzamenti, chief of public affairs for the federal Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington, said legalized production of hemp is a risky venture. He said all hemp plants have some THC in them and are therefore narcotics. "We just think it's an idea that hasn't been proven, and it's an idea that seems to have more pitfalls than possible advantages," Ruzzamenti said. The argument for legalized hemp production has gained credence recently as Kentucky's tobacco farmers earn less and less from their leading cash crop. From the early 1800s until the World War I, Kentucky supplied most of the nation's hemp Q despite the fact that it grows best in areas with cooler temperatures and more frequent rainfall. "For decades Kentucky led the nation in the production of hemp, and yet her climate is not particularly suited to the crop," wrote University of Kentucky history professor James Hopkins in his book (ITAL) "A History of the Hemp Industry in Kentucky." (END) At one time, Hopkins said, hemp was grown on 503 of 844 farms in Fayette County. Hemp production became illegal in 1937, although it resumed briefly when it was needed for war materials during World War II. In Canada, which had its first government-approved experiment in hemp production in Ontario this year, the number of farms was reduced from 12 to two after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said there was too much hemp to monitor effectively. Joe Strobel, the Ontario farmer who is spearheading the hemp experiment in Canada, said he was a tobacco farmer until he decided to try hemp. Now he is sending hemp to nine companies in the United States and Canada for a variety of experimental uses, to see how it competes economically with other products. Strobel said the results of the first year were mixed, but added, "Definitely the potential is there." He also said he has never smoked marijuana and has no interest in legalizing it. "I'm 65 years old," he said. "I was way past my foolish age when that came along." Nathan Boone, a graduate student who has been doing research on hemp for the Community Farm Alliance, said there was enough evidence to show that hemp "needs to be looked into more in-depth." "We don't know if it's legitimate until we put a serious effort into seeing if it's legitimate," he said. Meet hemp's alternative: kenaf Call it hemp without the headaches. It is kenaf, a hemp-like fibrous plant that so closely resembles hemp that a stand at the University of Kentucky's Spindletop research station was nearly destroyed by police not long ago. UK agronomist Morris Bitzer says kenaf is far more practical than hemp as a source of paper, wood products and other material. In fact, he says a California firm is seriously considering a site in Central Kentucky for a paper-making plant. "I think kenaf has more potential here than hemp," Bitzer said. There is no tetrahydrocannabinol, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, in kenaf. And Bitzer says research he has done at Spindletop proves that kenaf can be grown without the fingerlike leaves of the hemp plant. That would help eliminate the possibility of mistaking it for marijuana, he said. If a paper plant did locate here, Bitzer said, it could mean thousands of dollars in new farm income for Central Kentucky farmers Q possibly as much as $55 a ton, according to one analysis. An acre of kenaf produced an average of 10.9 tons in one experiment, he said. Bitzer said the California company that is considering Kentucky was talking about between 200,000 and 250,000 acres a year in kenaf production. Obstacles to legal production of hemp in Kentucky include: 1) Political: Possession of any part of the hemp plant is currently illegal in Kentucky. So legalizing its use for other purposes would require a change in the law. Given the controversy surrounding marijuana, this surely would be a difficult political proposition. 2) Legal: cont next part....... ============================================================================= From: Institute for Hemp Newsgroups: alt.hemp Subject: **NEWS** Greenleaf News Vol5#5 2/3 Date: Tue, 7 Mar 95 19:16:08 -0500 Message-ID: If the state did legalize the growing of hemp for uses other than as a narcotic, that could create problems for people whose job is to enforce drug laws. Physically there is very little difference between hemp for marijuana and hemp for other purposes, although they generally are grown in different ways. Drug enforcement officials say that even closely monitored hemp production could cause confusion or tempt growers to disguise marijuana as hemp. 3) Mechanical: It has been so long since hemp production was legal that the technology used in growing and processing it is badly outdated. Research has been discontinued because possession of hemp in any form has been discontinued. How long would it take to bring the processing of hemp up to date? 4) Economic: If laws are changed and legal hurdles are cleared, would hemp be more economical than products competing with it? For example, is it better than trees as a source of wood and paper? Is it better than cotton for fiber? There has been no legal hemp production for so long that no one knows the answers to those questions. And since few if any existing markets for products made with hemp, those would all have to be developed from scratch. Uses for Hemp: Cannabis sativa, or hemp, is grown in many countries for a variety of non-narcotic uses. They include: Q ropes and other cordage products. Q paper. Q sails, mats, and sacks. Q clothing. Q caulking material. Q plastic. Q bedding for horses. Q paints and varnishes. Q oil for salad dressing and other food products. Q soap. Jones might form hemp task force "There has been so much discussion about hemp as a viable cash crop in Kentucky that Gov. Brereton Jones appears serious about forming a task force to study whether hemp and other fiber crops might succeed here. Jones's office wouldn't discuss the plan, but two agronomists at the University of Kentucky agronomist said they had been told that the governor's office was seriously considering a task force to examine hemp and other fiber crops. When Franklin Jelsma, Jones' chief of staff, was asked about the plan recently, he declined to discuss it, saying it was "too sensitive a topic." "I really don't have a whole lot to say about that right now," Jelsma said. reprinted with the permission of Lexington Herald-Leader )1994--@zend ********************* JONES NAMES PANEL TO STUDY HEMP, WHETHER CROP CAN MAKE COMEBACK Lexington Herald-Leader (LH) - THURSDAY, November 24, 1994 By: TODD PACK HERALD-LEADER BUSINESS WRITER FRANKFORT Q Kentucky farmers are looking for a crop to supplement burley, so the state is looking to the past to find one: cannabis sativa. Hemp. It's the same plant some still grow in Kentucky, but illegally: Marijuana. Gov. Brereton Jones yesterday set up a task force to study whether a drug-free strain of hemp can again be a viable crop in Kentucky. Fibers from the plant stalk could be used in paper and fabric production, he said. Jones said he does not want to legalize it for smoking, nor does he see hemp as a substitute for tobacco, the state's most profitable legal crop. He said: "If there are crops which can be grown legally for a profit in Kentucky, which we are currently not growing, then we as public officials have a duty to examine these crops and provide answers for the farmers of Kentucky." The 17-member task force will study potential markets and legal barriers, Jones said in a news conference. When the task force makes its recommendations by Oct. 30, 1995, "we will know whether Kentucky can produce a drug-free hemp." Hemp has first raised legally in Kentucky in the mid-1700s, and used to make sailcloth and rope. The market waned in the 1860s with the popularity of superior, imported fibers. Kentucky had a second hemp boomlet during World War II as imported fibers became scarce. Illegal hemp has flourished since the mid-1970s, particularly in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. Marijuana income is thought to add greatly to the economy of some parts of rural Kentucky. Jones took a pre-emptive strike at potential critics, chastising those who might misrepresent his intentions. While he supports the idea of legalizing hemp production, "I am opposed to the legalization of marijuana" he said. Billy Joe Miles, an Owensboro farmer and businessman who will head the task force, said it seems likely a non-narcotic strain of hemp could be created by genetic engineering. These plants could be genetically altered so that they would be easily distinguishable from illegal plants, he said. Kentucky State Police Commissioner Jerry Lovitt, who sits on the task force, said he is open to the idea of legalizing hemp for industrial use but acknowledged it could create problems for police. Industrial hemp is grown in Europe and Canada, and might make a good supplemental crop for burley, said task force member Hal Hamilton, director of the Community Farm Alliance. No one knows exactly how much an acre of hemp would be worth, but Hamilton guessed $200-$500 an acre. Burley is worth about $3,000 an acre. The task force also includes Agriculture Commissioner Ed Logsdon, Kentucky Farm Bureau President Bill Sprague and agriculture professors or department heads from six of the state's eight public universities. Gatewood Galbraith, a Democratic gubernatorial candidate who has advocated legalizing marijuana and resurrecting the state's hemp industry, was not named to the task force. Jones said including him would have made the task force a "political committee." Jerry Hammond, Galbraith's running mate, attended the news conference in the Capitol. He said he was disappointed that Galbraith wasn't named to the task force, but commended Jones for creating the task force. "These fellows will come up with the truth," Hammond said. Task force members named by Jones FRANKFORTQ Here is a list of those named to Gov. Brereton Jones' hemp task force: Harold Benson, Kentucky State University Danny Britt, Eastern Kentucky University Ted Broida, Kentucky Economic Development Corp.

Looking Back, 1994 seems to have been a banner year for The Institute for Hemp and the Greenleaf News. Subscriptions are up, although no where near the number we give away each year, sales of products are up, again although no where near the amount needed to fully fund The Institute's operations, but much closer to the mark than many previous years. I had a return engagement at the Beloit College on Dec 7th and am looking forward to an article in the local newspaper there. Did extensive traveling, I estimate in excess of 4,000 miles all done in a van towing a trailer full of Hemp stuff. Provided info at the request of thousands of Individuals and organizations, CNN, TBS, CBC (Canadian TV), ABC (Australian TV), The Kentucky Hemp Advisory Board, Pioneer Press, Star Tribune, Beloit Daily News, KSTP-TV, 60-Minutes, Montel Williams, and far to many more than can be listed here. We also received referrals and much valued assistance from many noted groups and individuals like The Industrial Fabrics Association, Many State Legislative Members, Members of Congress, U.S. Department of Agriculture, many State Department's of Agriculture and again far to many other exceptional individuals and organizations than can be properly given credit in this short space. To all these people I wish to say I hope the information we provided was useful and thanks. What is the forward look for 1995. I see several things that will shake out in 1995. First will be a great deal of turnover in the companies that are doing business in hemp products. Part of this will be due to the general rate of business failures in the US. The facts are that 75% of all first year companies fail. Of the remaining 25%, 70-80% will never see five years. So out of 100 Companies only 25 are remaining after year one and by year five only 6 of the hundred will remain. With what we could call rebirth of the Industry really only 2-4 years old we will see a greater turnover as initial operating capital begins to dwindle. This is not to say that there aren't some very well financed companies out there, but many have made some costly mistakes. Since The Institute for Hemp has been around now for 5 years and is one of the oldest Hemp Companies in operation I feel a special sort of success in just still being here. Those that have been here even a year you too should take a special pride as you beat the odds, so far, the next step is beating the next set of odds. There will be at least one problem for the companies using Hemp Seed that will need to be overcome in 1995. That problem the reduction of the importation of Hemp seed and the reluctance of Hemp Seed Importers to do business with Non-Bird Food Companies. In the past month I have been bombarded with requests from people all over looking for hemp seed. At first I forwarded them to my supplier Knight Seed Co then I decided to call Tim and ask him for his input on prospects for seed in 1995. He explained that Knight had no prospect to import Hemp in 1995 and hadn't imported any in 1994. I asked him for a referral and called Specialty Commodity. Specialty Commodity stated simply that they had no Hemp Seed weren't expecting any in 95 and would not like to be referred any Hemp Seed business and that they are only doing business with Bird Feed Manufacturers. There is the additional problem that much of the Hemp Seed imported into the US is not considered Human Food Grade, but is rather Animal Food Grade since it is primarily imported as a bird and small mammal feeds and as such doesn't need to be kept to the same specifications as Human Food Products. I am not sure just what the FDA would think of the use of Hemp Seed in human food products. This is part of the reason why hemp seed oil is usually sold as a "Massage Oil" rather than Cooking Oil. cont next part...... ============================================================================= From: Institute for Hemp Newsgroups: alt.hemp Subject: **NEWS** Greenleaf News Vol5#5 3/3 Date: Tue, 7 Mar 95 19:16:59 -0500 Message-ID: The Institute for Hemp is also going through some changes of our own here in the first part of 1995. I am in the process of filing the papers to make The Institute for Hemp* a tax-deductible Non-Profit Corporation. The Institute for Hemp will open up for membership and focus on the development educational materials, research, publication and dissemination of scientifically verified information. The main difference will be in the catalog where we intend to make it more just informational products like books, videos, stickers and other activist products and information. At the same time I am going to spin off a Company that focuses on the Importation, Manufacture & Distribution of Hemp Products both Wholesale and Retail, Consultation work for Hemp Companies that need help in marketing or distributing their products and anything else we can think of. I also have hopes of forming HEMPPAC* another Non-Profit corporation whose purpose will be to lobby and raise funds for political campaigns. It is long overdue for the Hemp industry to have a single purpose Political Action Campaign that can raise funds for Hemp friendly candidates and organizations. While it won't be tax-deductible and could be difficult to get up and running, it could prove to be a very valuable tool for the future health of the Hemp industry. So in 1995 the prospects are looking brighter, first we have a Board formed in Kentucky of very prestigious individuals who can not be labeled as "PRO-DOPE" charged with the duty of Analyzing Hemp as a cash crop for that state. The Institute for Hemp will be going through some changes which I hope will make The Institute a much stronger and even more recognized source of accurate information about Cannabis Hemp. I hope this encourages everyone to redouble their efforts and write additional letters to their Governors asking them to take another look at Hemp and form advisory boards like the one in Kentucky. Hemp IS Victory, john ************************* Hemp is Not Legal in All Fifty States By John Birrenbach, The Institute for Hemp I have just completed some research that will suprize many. Hemp (the parts defined legally as not being Marijuana) is not legal in all fifty states. Of course everyone is familiar with the change in the definition of the word marijuana that Kentucky made a few years ago. This however is not the only state that has made it illegal to possess Cannabis Products no matter their form. In my research I found that Florida changed its law back in the late 70's, in response to the court decisions that made if necessary, for purposes of charging with a crime, to separate stalks and seeds that are incapable of germination from quantities of marijuana. Other states include Mississippi, and Georgia. In the case of Georgia they have made it clear, in their definition, that ALL products made from Cannabis is considered marijuana. While it is not likely that a person in possession of a Hemp product is going to be charged with possession of Marijuana, it does however leave open the possibility that a person could be charged with a Controlled Substance Violation. Depending on the weight and whether or not sales are involved the violation could be charged as a misdemeanor or as a felony. In the states that have a "mixture" law a shirt made from 55% Hemp 45% Cotton the whole shirt is Marijuana. Hemp is not as legal as everyone would have you believe. @ZEND *********************** PRO-HEMP in MN 94 Election Results In the state for Minnesota Pro-Hemp Candidates reaped big in the vote getting in the 1994 Elections.

Senior Editor John Roulac has taken much of the information about the industrial use of Hemp and produced a concise 47 page booklet that explains what hemp can do for industry. Starting with "Hemps Historical Role in Commerce" the booklet explains some of hemps long and vast history in industry. The booklet continues with "Bioresource Hemp" which explains how hemp can be a Environmentally Friendly Resource for many of the products we currently use. The booklet continues with chapters on hemp's "25,000 Products", "Today's Hemp Industry", and "Job's and Business Opportunities". One of the best thing that I like about the book is that it doesn't, like previous books, cloud the issue of Hemp with the issue of Marijuana. It also provides information that may upset some of the Marijuana Legalization advocates and some of the Hemp Counter-Culture which thinks that hemp is an end all, save all to our environmental problems. Industrial Hemp is a short, inexpensive booklet that will be better suited to Mainstream America. It is also the first book in America about Hemp that's printed on Hemp Paper (there are other books printed on hemp paper but none that deal with Hemp). Industrial Hemp is likely to become a mainstay for the Industrial Hemp Advocate. @ZEND *********************** Hemp Advocates Hurt Alt. Fibers Vision Paper A Div of KP Products PO Box 20399, Albuquerque, NM 87154 505-294-0293 TO: The Institute for Hemp Jan 3, 1995 Dear John, Prolific misinformation on the subjectof hemp as an agricultural crop and a raw material for paper making is causing confusion and a loss of credibility within mainstream markets for alternative fibers. This overpromotion of hemp is tribializing the concept and slowing the rate at which the shift from trees to plant fibers occurs in the U.S. Paper industry. The problem of global deforestation is imminent, and can be partially solved by tree-free paper. Time is too short to promote hemp as the best alternative for paper at the expense of legitimate non-wood fibers. The precious environmentalist energy available should be directed into areas where immediate relief can be realized. Numerous plants and agricultural wastes can provide fibers and oils that can be used to replace trees or petrochemicals in manufacturing processes. The legaization of hemp is a social/political issue, not an environmental issue. When the laws are changed to allow the production of hemp in the U.S., then the real work of discovery will begin regarding hemps viability as a raw material for paper. The best agricultural practices and crop economics can be determined in different geographic regions, and raw fiber processing costs and efficiencies can better be defined. If hemp can compete economically with other fiber crops fro paper, it will be grown to satisfy the demand. Meanwhile, years will pass. The motives of industrial hemp proponents are unclear. If helping the environment is the priority it should be, it makes more sense to promote legitimate non-wood fibers for paper because they can have an immediate effect on our consumption of forest resources. Kenaf, which has a strong U.S. government endor-sement and possesses superior agricultural economics and paper making qualities when compared to hemp, is currently struggling to make inroads into the U.S. paper industry. If kenaf, and other agricultural fibers, begin to achieve mainstream acceptance in the paper industry, a demand for plant fibers and agricultural wastes in general will emerge. This demand will most likely provide the opportunity for the serious study and possible legalization of industrial hemp. Specific examples of the overpromotion of and inaccurate information on hemp are detailed in the enclosed critique of The Institute for Hemps' "Special Report B: The Use of Cannabis Hemp as a Source of Raw Materials in the production of Paper Products." In fairness to the Institute for Hemp, it is noted that most of the hemp reports and publications available contain inaccuracies equal to or greater than those contained in the Institutes' report. The critique will be most beneficial to the reader if they have a copy of Special report B, which can be obtained from the Institute for Hemp.
