Industrial Hemp fun facts:
- The US is the only country in the world in which industrial hemp is illegal to grow.
- Industrial hemp is the only plant in the US that is illegal to grow, but legal to buy. We are huge consumers of a variety of legal hemp products.
- Industrial hemp is not a drug. Quote from the video: “You’d have to smoke a joint the size of a telephone pole to experience any effect.”
