SB 566 is the California Industrial Hemp farming Act and it is now law. Governor Jerry Brown signed the Bill this past Wednesday. State Senator Mark Leno (democrat) has been on this issue since 2005. The bill authorizes California to cultivate Hemp as soon as the government allows it. But technically it already does.
In 1970, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the federal
Controlled Substances Act of 1970 "explicitly excludes nonpsychoactive
hemp from the definition of marijuana," a decision that the federal
government never appealed.
Several California governors have issued a veto to the Hemp bills in the past, but due to the economic success of Hemp in other countries and coupled with the fact we important Hemp, it seems California is waking up.
Currently more than 30 countries (including Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany and China) and nine states have gone in this direction. Of first legalizing its cultivation and then waiting to see what the Federal government will do with it. Many speculate that with Holder's admission that the Federal government would not pursue states that have legalized Marijuana use through ballot iniatives, this seems to support a sense of security for farmers.
Only time will tell how this will play out but as far as Industrial Hemp is concerned; it is still a no brainer. Sb 566 is a reactionary bill that is dependent on the Federal. But it is still a sign that the fear is beginning to wane.

Senator Nicely of Tennessee plans a Hemp Bill
Next session in Tenneessee state legislative is going to be interesting. This is due to the fact that two state Senators have decided the time is right to join the fight against prohibition and let Tennessee farmers take advantage of the money-making crop called Industrial Hemp.
A knoxville paper is reporting that Senator Frank Nicely of Strawberry plains and Andy Holt of Dresden are sponsoring the Hemp bill for next year's legislative session. They have been inspired by recent events in Kentucky. Both state senators are republican, but in many states there are democrats that also support Hemp farming like in the state of Missouri.
Hemp sales in 2012 reached 500 million in America. Canada is the number one provider for Hemp raw material for American products. The worlds number one exporter is China.

Global Cannabis Summit in the Month of August
IT'S TIME FOR HEMP PROHIBITION TO END
A GLOBAL CANNABIS SUMMIT
THE WHOLE WORLD CAN ATTEND!
Each Friday this August, 'Time 4 Hemp - LIVE' will be hosting 2-hour specials to produce a 10-hour Global Cannabis Summit with some of the most brilliant minds and amazing leaders of the Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Movement. This presentation will be broadcast live on http://www.
The Cannabis Legalization Movement has long wanted
to have Congressional or Senate Hearings
as well as the chance to meet with world leaders to present:
1.) the rational thinking and hard data that verify PROHIBITION as a failed policy which ruin personal lives as well as the future of the following generations;
2.) the most significant scientific studies pertaining to medical marijuana and the need to stop arresting sick people and those who are caring for them;
3.) the hard data that verifies the cost of arresting people for using marijuana (as well as other items found in the black-market) is something society can no longer afford;
4.) the historical evidence (along with the current needs of the world today such as the mess at Fukushima or world hunger) which demand that humans MUST reintroduce industrial hemp back into the global agricultural markets in order for us and the planet to survive;
5.) the steps NECESSARY TO TAKE TO END THE GLOBAL WAR ON DRUGS - which is further complicated by the many anti-drug international treaties.
'Time 4 Hemp' is tired of waiting for the Cannabis Movement to be given such an invitation and has organized this 5 conference series. During each 2-hour commercial free broadcast, moderators will conduct discussions with 6 expert panelist brought together from all corners of the earth to present the most current research and statistics concerning this trillion dollar industry. When all is said and done, over 30 professionals will have addressed their concerns and solutions in a format that makes this material available FREE to everyone - including ALL THE WORLD LEADERS.

Hemp Inc. indicates that hemp crop yield is on schedule
LAS VEGAS, June 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- After the planting of its hemp crop in the Gansu Province of Northwest China, Hemp, Inc. is pleased to report that the cultivation is progressing on schedule. "According to a USDA report, on average, China produces significantly higher yields per acre of hemp. That's the primary reason we chose China to grow our crop," said David Tobias, President of Hemp, Inc. "Hemp seeds, hulled and marketed as 'hemp hearts' or as 'toasted hemp seed', are in high demand by consumers. The actual retail value of this harvest, in seed products alone, could be well over $2,000,000. We are encouraged at the prospects to gain market share as America's demand for hemp foods is on the rise."
Another part of the crop consists of a Hemp cultivar suitable for textile manufacturing. These hemp fibers will be blended with cotton or other natural fibers and made into soft, durable garments such as T-shirts. Hemp clothing is growing in popularity, and celebrities have added to hemp's appeal by wearing designer hemp on the red carpet. Demand for Hemp fabric may become much greater however, as according to a recent release by a leading natural fiber company, EnviroTextiles; "Research has proven hemp's ability to kill surface bacteria, while cotton, polyester, and polyethylene allow bacteria such as staph to remain on their surfaces for up to months at a time. China's military is using industrial hemp fabric for uniforms to fight staph infection. Other tests show hemp fabrics superior resistance to UV and infrared wavelengths, providing multiple applications for military use."
Hemp, Inc. CEO, Bruce Perlowin stated, "These tests show antimicrobial and antibacterial attributes of the hemp plant, that along with the heart healthy Omega fatty acids and protein in the seed, and hemp's soil remediation qualities, make for a sustainable crop that is useful in every aspect."
A value-added part of the Hemp plant is the chaff... the highly absorbent central part of the stem, obtained by mechanical de-fibering after the seeds are removed. The chaff is used for wet process hemp concrete building applications and animal bedding.
"We want all the chaff to use for the hemp adobe bricks that we will be making on our facilities in Arizona," continued Perlowin. "The market for eco-friendly landscape and building materials is huge." Tobias continued, "We are at the beginning of an expanding market. Elite athletes began moving toward vegan protein supplements of which hemp is best. Recently, Hemp has gone mainstream in local markets. Now we're seeing the possibilities in healthcare, construction and even military applications. The economy of hemp is expanding, and Hemp, Inc. is poised to be an important part of it."
Hemp, Inc.'s TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) seeks to benefit many constituencies, not exploit or endanger any group of them. Thus, the publicly-traded company believes in "upstreaming" of a portion of profit from the marketing of their finished hemp goods back to its originator. By Hemp, Inc. focusing on comprehensive investment results—that is, with respect to performance along the interrelated dimensions of people, planet, and profits— our triple bottom line approach can be an important tool to support sustainability goals.
