The Future Of Industrial Hemp And Biofuels

I first met Ellen H. Brown in 2014 when she came to San Miguel de Allende to work on a conference entitled “Moving Past Capitalism.” The conference was the brainchild of Cliff DuRand, one of the founders of the Center for Global Justice, and others in the SMA political sphere. Ellen Brown was well known for promoting Public Banking, and that’s what she talked about at the conference. A few days ago I read a recent article by her, “The Cheapest Way To Save The Planet Grows Like A Weed.” She published her article in L.A. Progressive, which is where I publish, too.

Dissent – protest, direct action, civil disobedience – these are the manifestations of our power. And they are the only things that the ruling elite truly fear. Which is why we're seeing a wave of legislation being introduced to try and crackdown on that power – to strangle our ability to affect change. Here's the scoop and how we should respond. Next, industrial hemp is now federally legal – but what does that actually mean? What's included in that? And how does this affect conflicting state or local laws? Ministry of Hemp editor-in-chief Kit O'Connell joins us to lay it all out.

The Vast Impact Of Legalizing Hemp

The Empire doesn't understand yet what has happened. Legalizing hemp farming and hemp industries will have a profound impact on our local communities, our soil, our ecosystems and our culture at large. They don't understand that legalizing hemp, part of the new Farm Bill enacted in December, is a tremendous catalyst for change. But we do. Hemp was the first plant under human cultivation, some 10,000 years ago. Hemp farming and production was a staple of Europe and much of the world 1,000 years ago. Without hemp Europeans could not have colonized so much of the world, as hemp sails are durable and don't rot. So we have some history with the plant.

Last May Illinois passed legislation to remove restrictions on industrial hemp, and in August Governor Rauner signed the bill into law. We are grateful to our elected officials who worked to pass the law, and we’ve been waiting patiently for the first draft of the rules. On Friday the rules were made public, on the heels of the Federal Farm bill which removed industrial hemp from the Controlled Substance Act. Industrial hemp and hemp derived products including cannabidiol, “CBD”, are now legal to grow, transport and sell. The federal law prohibits interference with interstate transport of hemp or hemp products.
