CURRENT AFFAIRS The hemp revolution is happening, despite the efforts of politicians and law enforcement agencies to stop it. All around the globe this miracle plant is creating industries for food, fuel, clothing, housing, and paper that are beneficial to humanity and environmentally friendly. Medical marijuana initiatives passed with overwhelming support in California and Arizona. Still, wars of disinformation are being waged against this plant and its industries, and the amazing facts can be difficult to find. The Hemp Manifesto changes all that.

The Hemp Manifesto gives the people their most important weapon in the fight for a healthy future: the truth.
