#HHW18 Hemp History Week 2018 is officially here and this a great time to Inspire hemp legalization with all the festivals and gatherings happening summer. With several states now legalizing cannabis , the Industrial Hemp discussion is now more prevalent and relevant.

It’s the gift giving season
It’s that gift giving time of year again, with all the various holidays around this time of year. Keep hemp products in mind as gifts, that is an easy and fun way to “teach” people about industrial hemp benefits and just what Industrial hemp is and can be. Remember, you don’t have to buy or even make something to give a gift…you can give the gift of knowledge and share what you know about industrial hemp….well..ok, that may not be the best gift giving advice…try to at least write a personal note, share a j, before you start rambling on about the wonders of hemp. 🙂 Hemppy Holidays!

Hempfest in Seattle
For three days in August, hundreds of thousands of people will descend on Myrtle Edwards and Centennial Parks on Seattle’s waterfront for the 23rd annual Hempfest, traditionally the largest annual gathering of pro-cannabis supporters in the world. This year, 2014, the first legal cannabis stores opened in Washington State, making this another hallmark year in the journey to re-legalizing hemp nation-wide. What started out as a “humble gathering of stoners” in 1991, conceived during a peace vigil in opposition of the first Gulf War and attracting a crowd of about 500 people, has grown to a world-renowned 3 day “protestival” celebrating human rights, equality, freedom, and of course, cannabis. Spanning 1.3 miles, two public parks, six stages, and more than 300 vendors and being staffed by over 1,000 volunteers, Hempfest isn’t just the largest annual pro-pot rally in the world — it is also one of the largest special…

Why Hemp?
“It is estimated that there are as many as 25,000 different uses for hemp ( aka Industrial Hemp ). Aside from making clothes, Hemp helps clean the soil.
