The Hemp Report

     Almost five years ago in May of 2002 I started sending out hemp news updates to a Topica list for The Hemp Report. It was a lot of fun, but the list never grew to more than 30 subscribers. In March of 2006 we shut down our Topica hemp news list and partnered with Vote Hemp to put out a new email newsletter, The Vote Hemp Weekly News Update. The first issue was emailed to the 30 subscribers from the shuttered Hemp Report list. I just sent out the latest issue today to 1,003 subscribers as well as posting it to the News Update Archives. Please check it out. If you would like to subscribe and get this timely information in your email In box, please sign up on the Vote Hemp Sign Up page.

     The Hemp Report had similar beginnings. The first issue of The Hemp Commerce & Farming Report came out in May of 1999 and helped chronicle the early beginnings of the Canadian hemp industry. Nearly eight years later the hemp food market in the United States alone is conservatively estimated at US $14-$16 million. The hemp industry continues to grow and change.

     Over the next week The Hemp Report will be moving to new servers to give us additional capacity and services. If you notice any glitches, please bear with us.
