The USA Hemp Museum got this message from the great hemp activist, Dr. Jeri Rose.
"Richard, WE need to get EVERYONE who cares about planet earth to write to their Representative to support HR 1866. It simply allows those states that want to allow their farmers to grow industrial hemp to go ahead and let them.
Please write your Rep and email everyone you know and ask them to email everyone they know. This must become a nationwide avalanche to the House of Representatives."
House.gov has the link where you can share your support for ending hemp prohibition now and restoring sanity to government. Tell them it is not nice to make mother nature illegal.

H.R.1866
"OFFICIAL TITLE AS INTRODUCED: To amend the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marihuana, and for other purposes."
Our most profound thanks and gratitude to the hemp heroes in congress who refuse to give up the fight to end hemp prohibition.

Rep Miller, George [CA-7]
Rep Rohrabacher, Dana [CA-46]
Rep Stark, Fortney Pete [CA-13]
Rep Woolsey, Lynn C. [CA-6]
Please contact your congressional representative and tell them to unconditionally support H.R. 1866, which is in support of industrial hemp.
One quick note. It's time to redefine "industrial" hemp. The term is from the last century when the government was demonizing the hemp plant, a divide and conquer technique. Have the industrial, recreational, medical and religious activists working against each other for attention, rather than working together to achieve a goal. Those days are numbered.
Consider that medicine, recreation and even some religions are also industries, and should be able to qualify for industrial hemp protection when the legislation passes.

H.R. 5842 - A Peaceful Solution - USA Hemp Museum
Thank you Rep. Barney Frank for this bill, H. R. 5842.Here's hoping the 110th Congress can do what the 107th (H,R.1344 & H.R. 2592), 108th (H.R. 2233) and the 109th (H.R. 2087), among other restoring the Will of the People bills like the Industrial Hemp Farming Acts of 2005 and 2007, could not do.
House Resolution 5842 is this year's medical marijuana bill that is once again lost in committee, like all the ones before it. Though in danger of facing the same fate as:
107th Congress: H.R. 1344: States' Rights to Medical Marijuana ActDead
107th Congress: H.R. 2592: States' Rights to Medical Marijuana ActDead
108th Congress: H.R. 2233: States' Rights to Medical Marijuana ActDead
109th Congress: H.R. 2087: States' Rights to Medical Marijuana ActDead
With your help and support, we can get this through, a major step in solving our health care crisis.
"This bill is in the first stage of the legislative process where the bill is considered in committee and may undergo significant changes in markup sessions. The bill has been referred to the following committees according to http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h110-5842:
House Energy and Commerce
House Energy and Commerce, Subcommittee on Health
Please support H.R. 5842.

This webeo (web video) was created by the USA Hemp Museum.
Richard M. Davis, founder and curator of the USA Hemp Museum , a private museum with a virtual wing, is releasing the second book in his series HEMP FOR VICTORY called WONDER HERB this summer. This book is a breathtaking look from doctors, lawyers, patients and politicians on the subject of how to use medical hemp and why.
Davis' first book HEMP FOR VICTORY: A GLOBAL WARMING SOLUTION is the who, what, when, where, why and how to use hemp to solve the problem of global warming.
The World Peace Now artwork used on the USA Hemp Museum logo is by Rasta Artist Sherwood Akuna and is designed to show all religions as one.
