Farmers, Hemp Industry Leaders Arrested for Planting Industrial Hemp at DEA Headquarters in Act of Civil Disobedience to Protest 'Reefer Madness'
Fed Up Captains of Hemp Industry Plant Hemp Seed on DEA's Lawn With Ceremonial Shovels
DEA's Continued Blockade of State Industrial Hemp Programs Violates Common Sense as Well as Obama's Presidential Directive to Federal Agencies to Respect States' Rights
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- At approximately 10 a.m. this morning, North Dakota farmer Wayne Hauge, Vermont farmer Will Allen, and fed up American entrepreneurs, who have dedicated their livelihoods to developing
and marketing healthy, environmentally-friendly hemp products, for the first time turned to public civil disobedience with the planting of industrial hemp seed at DEA headquarters (700 Army Navy Dr Arlington, VA 22202) to protest the ban on hemp farming in the United States. Even though the U.S. is the largest market for hemp products in the world, and industrial hemp is farmed throughout Europe, Asia and Canada, not a single American farmer has the right to grow the versatile crop which is used for food, clothing, body care, paper, building materials, auto paneling and more.
Hoping to focus the attention of the Obama Administration on halting DEA interference, North Dakota Farmer Wayne Hauge; Founder of Cedar Circle Organic Farm in Vermont Will Allen; Hemp Industries Association (HIA) President Steve Levine; Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps President David Bronner; Vote Hemp Communications Director Adam Eidinger and Founder of Livity Outernational Hemp
Clothing, Issac Nichelson were arrested while digging up the DEA's lawn to plant industrial hemp seed imported from Canada. At this time, they are currently being held in Arlington County jail and are awaiting charges. They are expected to be released later this afternoon and will be available for interviews upon release.

Take a drive down most eastern Nebraska country roads
Hemp grows wild everywhere you look...this year must have been a bumper
crop with the cool temps and rain ..the buds where huge.
Blows my mind that something that grows wild all over the place is illegal.
I believe Hemp is not the same as Marijuana....
one has THC the Other Doesn't!
yes
makes good money for farmers here in Canada.
Thank you everyone who posted comments on this thread.

similar but not the same,
similar but not the same, you are correct, there is THC in "industrial hemp" but its so minute that consuming it would be the same as trying to get drunk off non alcoholic beer.

I remember Ron Paul said during a rally in Michigan
that you would have to make a joint as big as telephone pole to get some buzz from hemp lol

Its amazing when you think about it. Someone, the government, decided... YOU are not allowed to use marijuana. YOU are not allowed to grow it or to use it.. under penalty of the law. Because if you do... you will not be able to control yourself, and you will go beserk... and society will follow. That is why we need laws against it, and an army of goons who do not think independantly, and strict penalties as a deterrant in case you do decide to use marijuana.
Gosh...the generation who allowed these laws to pass really dropped the ball. Greatest generation my ass... Gen Xers are saving this country

If I remember correctly it
If I remember correctly it was Arnslinger the attorney general at the time.It was him in colusion with DuPont and other synthetic manufacturers so they could take over the textile industry with their fabrics.There's a great book titled The Emperor Wears no Clothes by Jack Herer that explains it all, the why and who conspired to make it illegal.Cannabis being illegal is just a rouse to keep Hemp illegal.

Good for them! I hope they
Good for them! I hope they all dropped their pockets full of seeds on the lawn before they left . . . hope they sprout in the spring. It will take the DEA a while before they realize what's growing in the lawn.
LOL maybe we should all drop a few seeds on government property. Spread it around. Make them eradicate in their own back yard and leave us alone.
