Chris Boucher, Hempstead Company was the first person in over 50 years to plant industrial hemp legally in the USA in 1994. Imperial Valley hemp field, Brawley California. Hemp can grow up to 18-20 feet in this area. Mr Boucher had permits and contract from the USDA research center to conduct this experiment during 1994, March until July. Considered a historical hemp research project. Mr. Boucher was one of the original founders and concept of the HIA, Hemp Industries Of America. He also founded Hempstead in 1991. Currently Chris continues to develop Industrial Hemp Projects for hemp fabric, hemp clothing, hemp seed, hemp protein powder. New hemp products include hempcrete and hemp board.

  • I agree prohibition of this plant is destroying and hurting many people who need the healing of this god given plant!!!!

  • We are now 17 years into the future since we first planted in 1994. Currently There is a California Industrial Hemp Farming Bill on Gov Jerry Brown's desk. We are waiting for him top sign it into law. He has until Oct 9th 2011 to sign it or veto it. We think he will do the right thing and sign it. God Wiling Jah

  • There is a chance that the economy will not be centrally controlled any more. People should be able to grow their own food or energy, but that is essentially illegal by decree (big business would be my first guess). Entrepreneurs.. whatever.. but people should have a right to a stabilizing agriculture. Those seed are extremely good for food. We'd all be healthier for that alone. It might not be the best way to get dollars from sun, but it is one of the best, yet it is disallowed like a taboo.

  • @hypnofan35 California AGRICULTURE HEMP FARMING ACT 2011.

  • Hemp is the fastest growing biomass on the planet. Its' renewable resources are endless. We are being duped by the chemical, petroleum and governmental big bizzzz baby...taking it in the ass hard..while the planet spins into polluted, global chaos. Smoke up johnny!!!!

  • @hempsteader how did that go? gl from norway

  • the more i learn about this, the more sense it makes. i hope common sense will win out over big business and hemp will make a comeback in the future.

  • Save your seeds! National Hemp day is coming soon. On April 20, 2010 plant all your extra seeds around your city outside where they will grow.

  • A mere setback for a true visionary!

    Mr. Hempsteader will you (please) be putting in a new crop and mounting a legal challenge to the feds if Prop 19 passes a week from Tuesday?

  • Same story over and over again since 1937. Someday this stupid law will fall.
