Hemp
Embargo
Continues
10/15/99
Two weeks ago, DRCNet reported
that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and the Customs Service
were sabotaging the legal hemp industry by illegally holding up and ordering
recalls of legal sterilized hemp seed and other products (http://www.drcnet.org/wol/110.html#hempwar).
Two weeks later, the Hemp
Embargo continues. The Hemp Industries Association of America has
posted a web site including ongoing news reports on the situation, action
alerts, evidence the DEA knows the products they're blocking are being
legally imported and further discussion of the issue. Visit http://www.hempembargo.com/
to find all of this information regarding this extremely serious situation.
