Oregon Passes Hemp Bill (46 to 11)

Oregon Passes Hemp Bill


Becomes Sixth State in 2009 to Take Action

State Pressure to Grow Hemp Continues to Mount as Business Booms

SALEM, Ore., June 29 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, by a vote of 46 to 11, the Oregon House passed SB 676, a bill that permits production and possession of industrial hemp and trade in industrial hemp commodities and products. "I am glad that Oregon has joined the list of states that have agreed that American farmers should have the right to re-introduce industrial hemp as an agricultural crop," says SB 676 sponsor, Sen. Floyd Prozanski. "By passing SB 676 with strong bi-partisan support, the Oregon Legislature has taken a proactive position to allow its farmers the right to grow industrial hemp, to provide American manufacturers with domestically-grown hemp, and to profit from that effort." The Oregon Senate passed the bill by an overwhelming majority vote of 27 to 2 on June 19. Vote Hemp is optimistic that Governor Kulongoski will sign the bill. Oregon would become the ninth state to authorize regulated hemp farming under state law.

"The time has come for the federal government to act and allow farmers to once again grow hemp, so American companies will no longer need to import it and American farmers will no longer be denied a profitable new crop," comments Vote Hemp President, Eric Steenstra. "Under current federal policy, industrial hemp can be imported, but it cannot be grown by American farmers. Hemp is a versatile, environmentally-friendly crop that has not been grown in the U.S. for over fifty years because of a misguided and politicized interpretation of the nation's drug laws by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). While a new bill in Congress, HR 1866, is a welcome step, the hemp industry is hopeful that President Obama's administration will recognize hemp's myriad benefits to farmers, businesses and the environment," adds Steenstra.

Many businesses in Oregon manufacture, market and sell hemp products, including Living Harvest, The Merry Hempsters, Wilderness Poets, Earthbound Creations, Sweetgrass Natural Fibers, Sympatico Clothing, Mama's Herbal Soaps and Hempire. Living Harvest of Portland was recently ranked the third-fastest-growing company in Oregon, as awarded by The Portland Business Journal's "Fastest-Growing Private 100 Companies" annual award.

"We are looking forward to the opportunity to invest in hemp processing and production locally," says Hans Fastre, CEO of Living Harvest. "This bill represents another step towards heightening the hemp industry's profile within mainstream America and making hemp products more accessible to businesses and consumer

I'm going to venture a guess that the DUmmies don't know that industrial hemp isn't the type that is smoked.  The type that is smoked is a subspecies of industrial hemp, but it is not the same thing.

Where I used to live in Illinois, hemp was grown during the war for rope.

It grew wild all over the place, it was known at "ditch weed" & the county that I lived in was featured on the cover of High Times magazine.

Yep, there is even a "Hemp for Victory" movie that the US government made and has since tried to suppress.  The laws against it are also big government inspired.  The government didn't need all those field agents after alcohol prohibition was lifted, so congress passed laws against marijuana to keep the agents funded.

Except for subspecies indica, you would have to smoke half an acre to "get high".  That's a mighty big blunt.

It still grows wild all over Kansas. Heck of a lot of smokable grown right along side it. Pretty easy to disguise the "get high" stuff when every ditch in the state has hemp growing alongside the road.

 Say's the cotton industry. (Hemp clothes last forever)
Say's the Petroleum industry. (We can make fuel out of hemp, much cleaner than Ethanol)
Say's the timber industry. (Hemp makes excellent paper. When I see pallets full of copier paper, I think trees.)
Say's FOOD Inc. (Hemp is an excellent food source. Healthy and chock full of essential goodness)

In response I say to these entrenched powers.

EAT ME!
 

Steamed hemp with hemp gravy, mmmmm yummy.
And in ancient Hebrew, the word for hemp is "manna".

I don't know whether this hemp can be used as dope or not. But considering that its only ardent constituency is the wacko pothead community, I'd say it likely can.

33. We are very proud of the direction our state is taking in solving the economic issues we face. 
 Not only are we above the federal poverty level, we are 2nd in unemployment, so there is a lot of rebuilding that needs to take place.
We have a lot of farmland here that hemp would be perfect for.

Last Friday Oregon also passed the Oregon Production Investment Fund which increased the tax incentives for filmmakers here from 5M to 7.5M/yr for
the next 2 yrs. This bill initially failed to pass, but we rallied the troops and got the Speaker to bring it back for another vote with the entire House.
The legislators said they had never seen such a response to Legislation in their careers.
We are quickly becoming a go to State for this GREEN industry. A Harrison Ford movie just wrapped and the TV Series Leverage is here until Sept. & hope to return.

Film making is a green industry?  They use electricity, food, and gas to haul all the necessary people around.  They set off explosions that release the dread CO2.  Just what is green about film making?

Actually, industrial hemp is useless as a narcotic. One could smoke a whole field of it and all one would get is dizzy because of the lack of oxygen. For that reason, I have no problem with industrial hemp production.

The reason I do have a problem with it is that it would be used to hide in plain view the other kind of weed. So, there would be the need for tight control and inspection policies.

Ah, the liberals and their hopes for legalized pot. (That's what most of them think the Oregon law is).

Who will profit the most from the legalization of Cannabis?  The government of course, with the massive taxes they will slap on it...and....the BIG TOBACCO COMPANIES.  R.J. Reynolds and Phillip Morris have already trademarked the names "Acapulco Gold" and "Panama Red".  They have the necessary equipment to produce mass consumption pot.

In two years, the libs will be attacking the "evil marijuana industry".
