Guests: Jeanette McDougal,
National Alliance for Health & Safety and John Roulac,
Founder & CEO of Nutiva
Foods.
Subject: They say it's a $250,000,000
crop waiting to be planted, but there is one
hurdle. It is illegal. This
leads one to ask, "Should the United States legalize
the
cultivation of 'industrial'
hemp? Topics include what differences exist, if any,
between hemp and marijuana;
why it is legal to import hemp into the United
States, but not legal to farm
it; and what impact the legalization of hemp might
have on the nation's drug use.

LAKOTA
INDUSTRIAL HEMP PROJECT AT PINE RIDGE, SD
United
States vs. Alex & Percy White Plume
On August 10, 2002,
the DEA filed civil suit to stop Alex White Plume from
growing industrial hemp on Lakota sovereign land near
Pine Ridge, South Dakota. It was another example of
ongoing harrassment by the DEA. Check out the links
below for the entire story of why the Lakota have the
right to grow hemp on their land (1868 Fort Laramie
Treaty) and how they plan to use hemp to create jobs
and build housing on the reservation. The Pine Ridge
reservation is one of the poorest places in America.
Why is the DEA continuing to threaten and harass Alex
White Plume and his family for simply growing industrial hemp?
