HEMP INC 
By LAS VEGAS, June 3, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) today announced its support of the 5th Annual Hemp History Week from June 2 through June 8, 2014. The week long awareness campaign, themed "It's Time to Grow", features thousands of events across the country (including movie screenings of "Bringing it Home" and "The Emperor of Hemp") in an effort to educate and raise awareness regarding the environmental and nutritional benefits of Industrial Hemp and hemp-based products.
Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP), one of the early pioneers in the Industrial Hemp industry, said, "It's all about change. We have to completely end the ban on hemp farming in America. It's time for our U.S. farmers to grow a crop that's versatile, sustainable and profitable ... a crop we know as Industrial Hemp." This year, Hemp History Week has multitudes to celebrate such as: Colorado's Hemp harvest, last fall, motivated farmers to prep their fields for the sustainable, lucrative crop; Kentucky sprouted research fields; and the Farm Bill signed into law allowing farmers to cultivate hemp crops for research purposes.
This month, Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) also purchased a line of Temafa decortication machinery which will, according to Perlowin, "undoubtedly" present many opportunities for Americans to transition from non-sustainable synthetic solutions to more hemp-based green solutions. The purchase enables Hemp, Inc. to position itself as the buyer and processor of U.S. farmers' harvests, so as American farmers begin to grow and cultivate hemp, Hemp, Inc.'s facility will also double as a marketplace for the hemp farmers.
With the only decorticating machinery of this magnitude in the United States, Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) can process raw hemp which can be used to make paper, fabric, cellulose plastics, materials used extensively in well drilling to prevent lost circulation, material for toxic spill cleanup; and, highly insulating building products such Hempcrete, to name a few. The equipment is designed to separate the fiber from the core of the hemp plant, thus allowing hundreds to thousands of products to be made.
On a recent trip to North Carolina, Perlowin was able to meet with the former VP of Operations (David Schmitt) of the kenaf processing plant currently housing the decortication equipment. In a video, Schmitt explained how the raw hemp plant is processed. "Purchasing this decortication machinery puts Hemp, Inc. 4-5 years ahead of any other hemp manufacturing facility. To duplicate this plant will by no means be an easy feat."
Schmitt continued, "Today, it would take over $10,000,000 and 1 year just to build this equipment and another year to ship, house it at a suitable location and install it. Another year, on top of that, would be needed to debug and perfect the operation. After that, you have to create a market with paper mills, the auto industry and other industrial hemp buyers. Hemp, Inc. has all of this already in place so the likelihood of anyone catching up with Hemp, Inc. now is slim to none."
Perlowin also commented, "Due to the continual efforts of hemp activists, the industry has been growing at an alarming speed despite 'outdated and misinformed' laws created decades ago that classified the non-psychoactive plant with marijuana, or cannabis sativa. However, the farm bill that was signed into law by President Barack Obama legalized industrial hemp production in states that permit it. While a major accomplishment for the Industrial Hemp industry, America is still the leading importer and not exporter of hemp products. It's unsettling that millions of dollars are spent in other countries for a crop that America's farmers should profit from."
Still trying to keep a strong foothold in Industrial Hemp industry, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration recently seized a 250-pound shipment of Industrial hemp seeds at an airport in Kentucky. The hemp seeds were intended for the state's pilot program launch. According to Huffington Post article, "House Tells DEA to Leave State Hemp Programs Alone" 5/30/14, Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) said, "Farmers are unable to get the seed they need in order to grow their legal crop ... It's really hard to grow industrial hemp, and the DEA without any clear reason, any argument, any sense, throws itself down as a roadblock to success."
"This year, the national grassroots campaign is encouraging Americans to take action by writing to their U.S. Senator and asking them to co-sponsor S.359. Then on June 4th, droves of hemp supporters are expected to take to Twitter to trend #HempWeek. Ryan Loflin, a known hemp farmer and fellow activist, is also expected to join the "Twitter Party". Collaborative efforts of Hemp History Week and Hemp Industries Association are also expected to organize symposiums on spring planting of hemp," said Perlowin.
While Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) has taken to rallying for the cause, celebrities are also endorsing Hemp Week. Such celebrities include actress Alicia Silverston, musician Ziggy Marley, Grammy award-winning band Ozomatli, and best-selling author Andrew Weil, MD, to name a few.
Hemp, Inc.'s subsidiary, The Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Consulting Company, known as IHMMCC is also comprised of companies that have joined resources to show their support of Hemp History Week. These public companies, which are new to the Industrial Hemp industry, include: Dewmar International BMC, Inc. (DEWM); Resource Ventures, Inc. (REVI); Webxu, Inc. (WBXU); Greene Concepts, Inc. (LKEN); Global Links Corp (GLCO); Strategic Global Investments, Inc. (STBV); Liberated Energy, Inc. (LIBE); Hollund Industrial Marine, Inc. (HIMR); Vapor Brands International, Inc.
