Farm Bill Dies, but Hemp Gains Strength

Last week was an emotional roller coaster for industrial hemp supporters. On Thursday 6/20 the House of Representatives approved Amendment 37, which would have allowed for the cultivation of industrial hemp on the campuses of colleges and universities. This was a tremendous victory that can not be taken away and brings us one step closer to the solution. Unfortunately, the Farm Bill itself failed. The part that is so ironic is the Farm Bill failed over a food stamp amendment, but if they would just let us grow Hemp we could save the planet, the economy, and solve the world's hunger.

Nevada Medical Marijuana Dispensary Bill Becomes Law

Gov. Brian Sandoval signed SB374 into law last week. "The measure establishes the framework to make pot available to medical marijuana card holders, and imposes fees and requirements for growers, processors and dispensaries. It also contains provisions to continue to allow home-growing until 2016."
