Thursday, April 15, 2004 Connecticut Senator LeBeau Backs Hemp BillBill Doak, East Hartford Gazette [Excerpted] EAST HARTFORD, Connecticut — Controversial is the senator’s backing of a bill which would allow hemp to be grown in Connecticut. “Delegates from Girls State suggested that to me,” said Sen. LeBeau. They showed Sen. LeBeau, who was East Hartford’s salaried Drug Free Schools Coordinator for many years, that the non-addictive hemp can be grown as a cash product in Connecticut. Fibers of hemp are woven, oils and rope are derived from it and the hemp can be burned as a source of energy. “It has tremendous marketability. It does not look like marijuana, it looks like a grass. But it is in the cannabis family,” said LeBeau. “I promised the girls ‘I’ll put in for you.’ They convinced me that this stuff was safe and it would help the economy in the state of Connecticut. It could replace tobacco.” Copyright © 2004, East Hartford Gazette. All rights reserved. |
