sustainable hemp
Hemp is a sustainable, versatile plant that could help stimulate the U.S. economy—if it was legal to harvest in the States.  Photo By over the atlas/Courtesy Flickr. 

Last month I wrote about Oregon becoming the sixth state to legalize hemp production. This month, we’ve taken another step toward legalizing production of this great plant! Laura Murphy from Bozeman, Montana, has been issued the state’s first license to grow hemp. Montana’s legislature made hemp production legal in 2001, but Murphy was the first to apply for the two-year license. Murphy told the Missoula, Montana, Missoulian that she plans to lease 160 acres of unused ranch land to grow the hemp.
