RON PAUL Statement Introducing HR 1866, Industrial Hemp Farming Act April/2/2009
Statement of Congressman Ron Paul United States House of Representatives *** Statement Introducing HR 1866, Industrial Hemp Farming Act *** April 2, 2009 Madam Speaker, I rise to introduce the Industrial Hemp Farming Act. The Industrial Hemp Farming Act requires the federal government to respect state laws allowing the growing of industrial hemp. Eight States--Hawaii, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Montana, North Dakota, Vermont, and West Virginia--allow industrial hemp production or research in accord with state laws. However, federal law is standing in the way of farmers in these states growing what may be a very profitable crop. Because of current federal law, all hemp included in products sold in the United States must be imported instead of being grown by American farmers. Statement continues: http://www.house.gov/apps/list/speec.../IndHemp.shtml Source: Speeches and Statements: http://www.house.gov/paul/legis.shtml Another link including comments: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/bl...cpg=1#comments Current Co-Sponsors: Rep.
