I encourage you to download, print and share these images far and wide for personal and educational purposes. Please upload photos to our Facebook or Flickr page of any sightings or where you have posted your poster. Let it spread like wildseed...wheat-paste and sticker respectfully please...
It is time to cut away the stigma that has been placed on hemp for many years. Look at the role industrial hemp has played in the history and development of mankind to see how much it has to offer. Please take some time to educate yourself with the facts of the situation, start a dialog, ask questions and help others to learn about this valuable renewable resource. Did your family farm hemp at one time? Please delve into your family farming history and share your stories on our Facebook page.
Hemp has carried humans through the ages and deserves an identity and future based on reality. American farmers deserve to continue this symbiotic relationship that is as old as agriculture itself.
