Governor Hickenlooper Signs Hemp Farming Bill
Denver,
CO (May 29,2013)—Governor Hickenlooper has signed SB 13-241 into law. This is the Hemp Farming Bill for the state
of Colorado. Legally, Colorado can now
distribute licenses to farm Hemp.
Farmers
in Colorado can now apply for a 10 acre research plot or they can apply for
larger farms. The research plots are to
aid in forecasting which cultivars are the best for the region and the desired
outcomes.
The
federal hemp farming bill, HR 525 is currently being speared headed by
McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky. The
difference with Kentucky is the Hickenlooper had the courage to sign the law as
Beshear just let it become law without declaration either way.
Steven
Wilson of the Missouri Hemp Network had this to say about the signing, “Colorado
has been leading and now appears to have an advantage. With Hemp farming, you need a certain level
of maturity both as a society and as a government. Colorado farmers are not afraid and Colorado
politicians are listening to the voter.
Colorado is setting a great examples of how to govern in the 21st
century.”
With
Hemp History starting on June 3rd this signing makes it more
significant because now Hemp farming is viable in multiple states. Wilson added, “Being able to tell people that
hemp is viable in Colorado and Kentucky now makes the conversation real rather
than dream. Missouri voters have started
to acknowledge that if America is going to recover it will do so with hard work
not empty promises. If done properly,
Hemp can bring America back”.
Another
glaring realization about these votes on the Cannabis Sativa L family is that
people have started to lose faith in the federal government. It appears to have no utility other than to
justify itself with Federal politicians ignoring the voters while adding value
to their campaign war chests.
Americans
want a safe home, country, and planet.
Farming Hemp is green in your wallet and organic every place else. Hemp is common sense for the every man.
