Dear Editor,

It’s time. Hemp History Week is June 3-9. It’s time to celebrate the noble hemp plant and all its possibilities.

It’s time to give accolades for its agricultural benefits. To grow hemp requires no pesticides and this crop with the deep tap root is annually renewable.

Versatility is hemp’s greatest strength. With hemp we can make soap, shampoo, bath gel and cosmetics, we can manufacture hemp components for headliners and door panels in cars, and have industry that supports hempen clothes that are warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
