I agree that Hemp Inc should have been making at least some decent revenue from 2013 on as that is (as far as I know) the beginning of the pilot programs in the U.S. Why they have not yet made some decent money under the pilot program is a good question and a good point...
The hemp products in the U.S. that you speak of from the past have relied solely on imported hemp from Canada, Australia, China and other countries where it is and has been legal for many years. It was not too long ago that the imported hemp industry was only a $500,000 industry, now a $750,000 industry. Soon to be $0 as it should be.
Some of the products you may have recently purchased may have been from the U.S., but that is only in recent years.
As Dr. Bronner's son David said not too long ago, the Canadians are literally laughing at the U.S and can't believe that they have to sell us hemp for our products because we do not have an established industry here.
Rock On $HEMP!
