GROW YOUR OWN.

A. Cannabis/hemp/marijuana growing was legal in parts of the U.S. until the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, so that is the place to start.

"2. This Convention shall not apply to the cultivation of the Cannabis plant exclusively for industrial purposes (fibre and seed) or horticultural purposes." Article 28, U.N. Single Convention on Narcotics Use, 1961.

Even though we signed the above treaty, the United States Government insists on calling the Cannabis plant (English = hemp) by the erroneous name of marijuana and prohibiting its cultivation.

B. HEMP: DEA APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION OR RESEARCH PRODUCTION.

Hemp production for "Industrial uses," which some of us would argue includes the pharmaceutical industries, is tightly controlled under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which placed the issuing of permits in the hands of the Drug Enforcement Administration.

John T. Birrenbach, founder and Director of the Institute for Hemp, wrote an article titled: "How To Grow Legal Hemp," in a Best of High Times issue of 1992. He argued that hemp was legal to grow, but to my knowledge no permits for industrial hemp have been issued by the DEA, through 1998, making this a de facto prohibition.

Birrenbach pointed out both State and Federal permits are required (State permit required by the DEA). On the federal level, DEA form 225 (New Application for Registration Under Controlled Substances Act of 1970) must be completed (under federal law code 21 CFR 1301).

The more you know the better. EDUCATE YOURSELF. FUEL - PAPER - FIBER - FOOD - MEDICINE.
