Currently thirty-two countries, including Canada, Great Britain, France and China, allow farmers to grow industrial hemp. Currently, hemp farming in the United States is not permitted unless you receive a permit from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. In 1999 both Minnesota and North Dakota passed legislation to allow farmers to grow industrial hemp. Hawaii passed legislation allowing for an initial research plot in December 1999. Please understand that if you do plant hemp in the U.S. without a permit, you may be subject to arrest. We encourage farmers and citizens to contact your respective state and federal representatives and ask them to change the U.S. current outmoded policy.

SHIFTING REGULATORY AUTHORITY: Currently, industrial hemp is classified as a Class I substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. NAIHC is advocating that the regulatory responsibility be shifted from U.S. DEA to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL HEMP? Industrial hemp is a non-drug crop and contains less than 1% of the psychoactive substance THC. Unlike marijuana, if you smoke hemp, you get a headache, and if you smoke more, you get a bigger headache.
