A Renewal of Common Sense
The controversial subject of why or whether to grow industrial hemp in the United States of America is often debated yet much misunderstood. This document definitively presents the hemp industry’s case.
Illinois chose old stereotypes over economic potential
It is time for us all to replace our association of hemp to drug users with an association to our state’s struggling farmers. The Illinois Senate saw the vast benefits of asking two major universities to study the uses of industrial hemp last April. But Tuesday, the House was two votes shy of what would have been a step forward for Illinois agriculture.
Hemp bill up in smoke
A bill allowing the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale to research potential uses of industrial hemp for Illinois farmers was rejected Tuesday by the Illinois House of Representatives 69-34.
Hemp Study Bill Narrowly Misses Approval
A plan to authorize a study of industrial hemp — a biological relative of marijuana — fell two votes short of approval Tuesday in the Illinois House. But its House sponsor, Republican Rep. Ron Lawfer of Stockton, plans to seek another vote in January. He believes the measure could pass then.
Hemp study fails in Illinois House
The Illinois House Tuesday narrowly defeated a bill that would have authorized a study of hemp as a potential agricultural staple in Illinois. The defeat closed a year of political acrimony over the issue. It has pitted a struggling farm industry looking for a new crop against law enforcement and citizens’ groups concerned that it could open the door to legalization of hemp’s biological cousin, marijuana.
Tribe gets hemp gift
The scene at the state Capitol was a bit strange even by Frankfort standards.

Study of Hemp as Cash Crop Rejected by House
A bill authorizing a study of hemp as a cash crop fell two votes short in the House Tuesday amid fears it would send the wrong message about illicit drug use. Most representatives favored the idea — the vote was 69-45 — but the bill called for it to take effect immediately, so parliamentary rules required 71 votes for passage.
Lakota Indians receive Kentcky hemp
A trailer full of Canadian hemp is on its way to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, courtesy of the Kentucky Hemp Growers Cooperative Association and the Madison Hemp & Flax Company. The hemp will replace thousands of plants seized by federal authorities in August from two test plots on the reservation.
