Legalize Industrial Hemp Farming in Washington

Legalize industrial hemp in Washington.

Why is this important?

The U.S is the leading importer of hemp. Yet, it is still illegal for farmers in the U.S to produce. You can make environmentally friendly fuels for gas and diesel engines. Hemp fiberboard is four-times stronger than plywood. The paper you produce from it is stronger than paper from trees and recycles better too. One acre of hemp absorbs more greenhouse gases than and acre of trees. The Omega 3s from this plant are in the optimal ratio and hemp food products are excellent in protein. There is no way you can test positive from the hemp food products. The list of uses for this incredible plant goes on and on.

In short, our state needs this economic and environmental boost. Let's work together to get this changed.
