Hemp, Inc. (HEMP) Applauds Missouri Legislature for Passing Industrial Hemp Bill

By a vote of 131 to 6, House Bill 2034 passed Thursday, May 3, after a few amendments were added in the Senate and agreed to by the House members. The bill now goes to Gov. Eric Greitens’ desk. If signed, the bill would become law in August. The bill makes it legal for any person who has received an industrial hemp license to grow, harvest, cultivate and process industrial hemp.

As Missouri legislators on both sides of the political aisle express support for House Bill 2034, states across the United States continue to pass or introduce industrial hemp legislation. Notably, the number of states with some type of hemp program outpaces states with medical marijuana programs. In Idaho, Democrats running in the state’s primary are voicing support for the decriminalization of hemp. Fifth District House Seat B candidate Terry Hardman “is especially fond of hemp’s benefits, which, he said, outweigh the reasons for its illegalization,” according to Moscow-Pullman Daily News.

Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin said, “Policy makers across the country are seeing the incredible potential of industrial hemp programs to transform local communities by providing farmers access to a crop that is in high demand and has a variety of uses. Cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil is one of the fastest growing commodities on the market. Already a $100 million industry, the CBD market is expected to grow over 700% and balloon to $2.1 billion by 2020.”

As more states move toward adopting industrial hemp legislation, companies seeking to enter or further develop their footprint in the industrial hemp marketplace are aligning with Hemp, Inc. for the company’s proven expertise and state-of-the-art hemp processing and manufacturing infrastructure in Spring Hope, North Carolina. Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot hemp processing and manufacturing facility has been operational since August, 2017.

The Company recently announced its signed consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc. (HQGE), a scientific research development company. Per the agreement, Hemp, Inc.  will provide consulting services in an effort to help HQ Global Education, Inc. expand into the hemp CBD industry. In addition, Hemp, Inc. announced on May 1, 2018, that the Company encourages large scale companies to secure their hemp biomass now before Hemp, Inc.’s supply runs out. Hemp, Inc.’s sale price for interested entities will be the market price at the time of harvest.

Hemp, Inc. also provides consulting services in the hemp-CBD market, specifically in the areas of growing high-quality organically-grown CBD rich hemp, harvesting, and extracting, executives say they will also build Veteran Village Kins Communities across the country.  “Our ‘Veteran Village Kins Communities’ is where we will not only grow some of our Hemp, it is a full-blown holistic solution to the multifaceted veteran problems in the USA. Our prototype model is in Arizona about 20 miles north of Kingman and 90 miles from Las Vegas, NV. It’s our way of saying, ‘Thank You’ to our Veterans.”
