Today before the opening bell, Hemp, Inc. announced that it
has become the newest member of one of the most proactive organizations in the
industrial hemp industry, the National Hemp Association. In the press release,
Hemp, Inc. shared that its gold member status will enable it to reach more hemp
businesses with multi-channel exposure. The National Hemp Association (NHA) is
a mission-driven, non-profit organization “dedicated to the re-birth of
industrial hemp in America which helps connect farmers, processors,
manufactures, researchers, investors and policy makers to accelerate the growth
of this important industry in the United States.”
NHA also launched a Federal Campaign on Veteran’s Day to
legalize industrial hemp on a Federal level. An American hemp flag, made of
industrial hemp grown in Kentucky, was flown over the U.S. Capital in
Washington, DC to “celebrate the versatile crop cultivated by our founding
fathers and calls attention to how hemp can provide a significant source of
jobs for veterans and rural farming families.” The Campaign is an effort to
“bring hemp back as the major sustainable crop on which our country was
founded.” Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc., has committed to helping the NHA
with its goal by encouraging other companies and individuals to support the
movement and join the National Hemp Association (NHA).
“It’s time the laws are changed across the board on a
Federal level. I want to encourage others to become a Gold member. This will
help raise the capital needed to make this campaign a success,” said Perlowin.

According to the NHA’s press release on Nov. 9, 2015, “Once
considered America’s most important cash crop, hemp seeds today cannot be
transported across state lines and hemp farmers cannot obtain bank accounts or
get crop insurance. Industrial hemp is legal in 30 countries around the world.
In the U.S., industrial hemp is classified as a Schedule 1 controlled substance
(along with narcotics such as heroin and LSD). Advocates hope to restore the
industrial hemp industry through passage of the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of
2015 (H.R. 525 and S. 134) which will legally define the difference between
hemp and marijuana and will remove hemp from the Controlled Substances Act.”
Perlowin said, “By supporting this campaign and becoming a
Gold member, you will not only help to legalize industrial hemp on a federal
level, but will receive a host of other benefits as well.” As a Gold member,
benefits include but are not limited to: logo listing with active link on NHA’s
homepage; logo and clickable link in NHA’s monthly email newsletters; free
admission to select NHA events; invitations to pre-qualified Hemp business
meetings and opportunities; media referrals; two-hour consultation with NHA
Political Director; inclusion in NHA’s press release; eligible to run for the
NHA Board of Directors; opportunities to speak at NHA Events; and, a featured
story on NHA’s website.
As announced earlier this month, Hemp, Inc. entered into a
definitive 5-year term agreement to sell its industrial hemp fiber from its
decortication plant in North Carolina to Hemp Blue which will purchase the raw
hemp fiber for the production of its hemp denim fabric and manufacture their
hemp denim apparel line in the United States all from hemp grown in the United
States.
The company’s Kickstarter campaign will run through the end
of this week. According to Hemp Blue’s Kickstarter campaign, jeans are not just
a pair of pants and hemp is not just another plant. It’s a movement. “A great
pair of jeans blends comfort, fashion, good looks, and style with a dash of sex
appeal.”
“Hemp Blue, Inc. is a cutting edge and we applaud them for
making a prudent economic decision in signing a long-term contract with Hemp,
Inc. to assure their supply of American grown hemp for years to come,” said
Perlowin. “Support Hemp Blue and Hemp, Inc. by being among the first to own a
piece of Hemp Blue’s current collection from their Kickstarter campaign. I also
encourage you to purchase Hemp, Inc.’s products at Hempify.us.”
