Hemp News, a compilation of international news stories about hemp and marijuana, is a public service of Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp (CRRH) and our affiliated nonprofit organization, The Hemp & Cannabis Foundation. This is intended for political and educational use on the subject of cannabis and the wide-ranging effects of drug prohibition.

There is one thing that we all have in common: this tiny planet we share. Today the world is throwing around terms like "sustainability" and "green living" but what does that really mean? Hemp is one of the most diverse plants on the planet, and could literally supply most of humankinds needs for fuel, food, clothing, building products, and medicine. Despite its usefulness, hemp is illegal to grow in the United States.

This site is intended to be an avenue for the community to empower themselves with information about this diverse and wonderful plant called HEMP. Hemp seed oil is biodiesel and is three times more productive than any other seed oil crop, and hemp seed oil will run any diesel engine today with no modification. There is a truth that must be heard! That's what www.Hemp.org is all about.

When it is passed, this groundbreaking legislation will:

Protect children! This is the real “Protect Our Children” initiative. The Cannabis Tax Act (CTA) will take the lucrative marijuana market out of the blackmarket where children and substance abusers often control it today, and place it in state liquor stores, where the age limit of 21 and older is strictly enforced.
Help farmers! We will license farmers to cultivate cannabis for both medicinal and adult private use. Farmers will be able to grow industrial hemp without a license, for paper, fabric, protein and oil.
Allow doctors to prescribe untaxed cannabis through pharmacies, so patients won’t have to grow their own or buy medicine illegally.
Raise millions of dollars in new public revenue, lowering the tax burden on all and saving you money. Take the profit out of crime.
Restore industrial hemp, the most productive agricultural source of fiber protein and oil. Hemp seed oil is diesel fuel. The first cordage, cloth and paper were invented from hemp fiber.
Wipe out the black-market. The CTA allows police and the courts to concentrate on real criminals that hurt others, not arrest, prosecute and jail harmless, productive adult cannabis users. Stop our government from tearing families apart. Let’s show real family values and end cannabis prohibition.

Oregonians have already benefited from cannabis by receiving $900,000 from the selffunding Oregon Medical Marijuana Program into the state general fund. Replacing prohibition with a system of taxation and regulation will produce combined savings and tax revenues of an estimated $300 million per year.

Let’s take the profits away from drug cartels and use it to support our state’s economy and social programs. Let’s stop our government from tearing families apart with senseless arrests and prosecution. Let’s show real family values and positive change for our environment by ending cannabis prohibition in all its forms.
