Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Heat Up Ballot as Election Day 2012 Nears

posted in: Hemp Legislation 0


Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 09, 2012

Amongst the activists in support of industrial hemp, Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), the first and only all-hemp, publicly-traded company in US history, has been relentless at arming people with the facts on hemp, in order for them to make more intelligent decisions.

Armed with knowledge, voters in Montana, Colorado, Oregon, Arkansas, Washington and Massachusetts will have the opportunity to flex their muscles and voice their drug war dissent at the ballot box. Industrial hemp bills were specifically introduced this year in Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New Mexico. More information on the 2012 state legislation can be found on the VoteHemp website. In a nutshell, a YES vote would enact the proposed law eliminating state criminal and civil penalties related to the medical use of marijuana, allowing patients meeting certain conditions to obtain marijuana produced and distributed by new state-regulated centers or, in specific hardship cases, to grow marijuana for their own use, while a NO vote would make no change in existing laws.

Former representative Tom Tancredo and Republican Michael Baumgartner (US Senate) are giving the legalization of marijuana their support. According to Reuters, Baumgartner and Tancredo “could help sway conservative voters.”

Forging a path in the industrial hemp industry, while educating consumers on the many uses of industrial hemp, Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) (http://www.hemp.com), is also producing hemp-based products proven to increase the body’s overall health and performance. The company boasts HerbaGenix™ nutraceuticals (http://www.herbagenix.com); BasicHemp (http://www.basichemp.com), their protein shakes brand; and, custom-branded MJ Lover for Him and MJ Lover for Her (http://www.mjlover.com) which is derived from a blend of organic nutrients, herbs, and vitamins including hemp extract (0.00% THC) and AFA blue-green algae which is known for its healthful effects.

Not only has the company been flooding the market with health products, its CEO, Bruce Perlowin is quite the philanthropist, according to inside sources. “Bruce Perlowin is an interesting character. Very philanthropic. His journey reminds me of the ‘Catch Me If You Can’ movie or an American bad boy gone good,” says David Tobias of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP).

Perlowin donates to Dr. Patch Adams’ of Gesundheit! Institute who is building a 50 million dollar, free children’s hospital in West Virginia. The institute is a not-for-profit health care organization chartered under the Nonprofit Corporation Act of the District of Columbia, and is a project in holistic medical care based on the belief that one cannot separate the health of the individual from the health of the family, the community, the world, and the health care system itself (see http://www.PatchAdams.org). Other efforts in his mission to change the way Americans live, by creating a more natural and sustainable environment, include the Cash Hyde Foundation Fundraiser with Tommy Chong (http://www.CashHydeFoundation.com); The CanDo Kids Project (http://www.CanDoProject.com); C Bar J Horsehaven Rescue (cbarjrescue.wetpaint.com); Spread Peace USA (http://www.facebook.com/spreadpeaceusa); and, Keepers of the Wild (http://www.KeepersOfTheWild.com).

The upcoming election is also prompting savvy investors to invest in solid, substantial companies such as Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP); Rapid Fire Marketing, Inc.; Cannabis Science, Inc.; Medical Marijuana Inc.; and, Grow Life, Inc. (previously Phototron Holdings, Inc.). Two years ago, Prop 19 in California sought to legalize recreational use of marijuana. That caused a feeding frenzy for marijuana company stock from October 11 to 19, 2010. Even Health Sciences Group, that appeared to be out of business during that time, spiked 200% (from .0001 to .0002). The strongest of the companies, Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), bounced from less than one cent to 4.8 cents in that week, a spike of 473% (from .0085 to 0.487) due to the massive publicity surrounding the marijuana issue. Other spikes included Medical Marijuana, Inc. at 480% (from .02 to .1159); Rapid Fire Marketing at 50% (from .002 to .003); and, Cannabis Science, Inc. at 137% (from .092 to .218). If industrial hemp and medical marijuana are legalized, hemp stock may inevitably go through the roof.

Projected Mass Growth Curve on the Rise for Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Stocks

posted in: Hemp Legislation 0


Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 12, 2012

Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) and industrial hemp veteran, whose company led the last pre-election growth curve back in 2009 with a 480% increase (http://www.hemp.com), gave insight on when he thought the spike this month will start and why.

According to Bruce Perlowin, “Two weeks before the election is when all the action starts. We have medical marijuana on the ballot in Arkansas, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, and Ohio. You have industrial hemp on the ballot in Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New Mexico. Then they’re trying to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in Colorado, Washington and Oregon. The activist organizations (Marijuana Policy Project, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, Americans for Safe Access, NORML, Students for Sensible Drug Policy and many other groups) that run the campaigning for legalization have a very particular strategy. Predictable and extremely effective, none-the-less. They wait until 2 weeks before the election and then start a massive media campaign… an all out blitz to educate people so they can vote yes. This doesn’t allow the opposition time to respond with their negative and false propaganda. The opposition can be the prison guard union that can lose 800,000 prisoners a year who are incarcerated for marijuana. Consequently, the massive media campaigning makes people outside our industry aware of this huge industry that’s growing phenomenally. Now you have everyone looking for investment opportunities in an industry that’s soaring.”

How would the legalization of marijuana benefit the American people and the economy? Industry analysts believe there will be a creation of a new and highly profitable agricultural industry, increased trade opportunities, an increase in the gross national product (GNP), improved environmental conditions, new tax resources, and reduced costs with respect to enforcement of current laws. With all eyes on the industrial hemp and medical marijuana industry, coupled with the benefits of legalization, savvy investors are beginning to invest heavily.

Hemp, Inc.’s (OTC: HEMP) CEO, Bruce Perlowin, has accumulated over twenty-two million shares of stock in Rapid Fire Marketing, Inc.; eight hundred thousand in Cannabis Science, Inc.; two million in Grow Life, Inc.; and, twenty-one million shares in Medical Marijuana, Inc. Even though his favorite is his own (Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP)) he has started strategically investing in other marijuana industry stocks. “I know these stocks are going to go through the roof,” says Perlowin.

While the average non-investor may not have a clue, market awareness surrounding the industrial hemp and medical marijuana industries is informative and can be very persuasive. When all the pre-election mass media begins in earnest, entrepreneurs and business people of all kinds want to get into the industry. Some think about opening dispensaries, growing medical marijuana, or getting paid good wages as trimmers. Everyone, from real estate investors to other hard-hit sectors of the economy, starts sleuthing the industry.

While some are courageous enough to open dispensaries and grow, most tend to play it safe and invest in marijuana stocks. Simply put, it is a mature and aged industry reality in the American marketplace. The massive publicity will not only attract the average American investor, it will also attract newbie investors (from your auto mechanic workers to your stay-at-home moms) and foreign interests. “Everybody wants in on ‘the next big thing’. Think of it as another dot.com explosion without the crash for at least another decade or two, if ever,” says Perlowin.

He adds, “The smart investor will start accumulating now before that explosion begins.”

Perlowin’s investment strategy seems to be already paying off. The two million shares he bought of Grow Life, Inc. the first ten days in October increased 39.9% on October 11, 2012 (that was the date the pre-election spike started two years ago when Prop 19 in California was on the ballot). That’s over a $ 10,000 profit from just one stock. Other analysts agree with Perlowin that it’s just the beginning of this particular company’s pre-election spike.

Overall, Perlowin and industry analysts alike are betting the growth spurt will start between October 16 and October 23, 2012 and keep rising… especially if legislation passes.

(OTC: HEMP) (http://www.hemp.com), is also producing hemp-based products proven to increase the body’s overall health and performance.

Last Quarter Growth Curve on the Rise for Industrial Hemp and Medical Marijuana Stocks

posted in: Hemp Farming 0


Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) November 29, 2012

Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) and industrial hemp veteran, whose company led the industry’s 4th quarter growth curve last, gave insight on how the last quarter in 2012 will end.

According to Bruce Perlowin, “So far, the last quarter for the Fabulous Four hemp and marijuana stocks are showing a strong growth curve as the end of the last quarter nears, as they did last year. Massive media campaigning makes people outside our industry aware of this huge industry that’s growing phenomenally. “

With marijuana legalized now, how will it benefit the American people and the economy? Industry analysts are optimistic and foresee a creation of a new and highly profitable agricultural industry, increased trade opportunities, an increase in the gross national product (GNP), improved environmental conditions, new tax resources, and reduced costs with respect to enforcement of current laws. According to http://www.govtrac.us, The Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2012, alone, amends “the Controlled Substances Act to exclude industrial hemp from the definition of marihuana, and for other purposes.” With all eyes on the industrial hemp and medical marijuana industry, coupled with the benefits of legalization, savvy investors are beginning to invest heavily.

Hemp, Inc.’s (OTC: HEMP) CEO, Bruce Perlowin, has accumulated over 500,000 shares in GreenGro Technologies, Inc.; over 5 million in Grow Life, Inc.; and, twenty-one million shares in Medical Marijuana, Inc. Even though his favorite is his own (Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP)) he has started strategically investing in other marijuana industry stocks. “I know these stocks are going to go through the roof this last quarter just as they did last year,” says Perlowin.

While the average non-investor may not have a clue, market awareness surrounding the industrial hemp and medical marijuana industries is informative and can be very persuasive. With Massachusetts legalizing medical marijuana, more people are thinking about opening dispensaries, growing medical marijuana, or getting paid better wages as trimmers. Everyone, from real estate investors to other hard-hit sectors of the economy, are sleuthing the industry.

While some are courageous enough to open dispensaries and grow, most are leaping to invest in marijuana stocks. Simply put, it is a mature and aged industry reality in the American marketplace.

During Prop 19, the stock skyrocketed and then fell. However, this past election, the steadiness of the marijuana stocks signal the industry is here to stay.

Industrial Hemp Legalized in Colorado – EnviroTextiles, Glenwood Springs, CO

posted in: Hemp Legislation 0

Glenwood Springs, Colorado (PRWEB) November 14, 2012

Colorado Amendment 64 passed, allowing for the cultivation of industrial hemp. Most of the current buzz about the amendment is about legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes in the state. What has not made the national headlines is that Amendment 64 also included legalizing industrial hemp.

Some key excerpts from Amendment 64 concerning hemp:


    In the interest of enacting rational policies for the treatment of all variations of the cannabis plant, the people of Colorado further find and declare that industrial hemp should be regulated separately from strains of cannabis with higher Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentrations.
    “Industrial Hemp” means the plant of the genus cannabis and any part of such plant, whether growing or not, with a Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol concentration that does not exceed three-tenths percent on a dry weight basis.
    “Marijuana” or “Marihuana” does not include Industrial Hemp, nor does it include fiber produced from the stalks, oil, or cake made from the seeds of the plant, sterilized seed of the plant which is capable of germination, or the weight of any other ingredient combined with marijuana to prepare topical or oral administrations, food, drink, or other product.
    No later than July 1, 2014, the general assembly shall enact legislation governing the cultivation, processing and sale of Industrial Hemp.

Hemp is truly a wonder plant. There are over 25,000 confirmed uses for industrial hemp that include clothing, paper, plastic alternatives, building materials, and much more. Most products made from plastic, wood, or cotton can be made with hemp.

What does this mean for Colorado farmers? For starters, hemp requires very little water and no pesticides and herbicides. With drought conditions in the state, hemp is the most viable cash crop to plant under these conditions. In addition to ease of growing, one acre of hemp can provide the same amount of fiber as four acres of cotton. While hemp cultivation has been outlawed in the US, manufacturers of hemp products in the US have been thriving in recent years. Given the difficulty of importing raw hemp for manufacturing, our farmers already have immediate demand for their new crops in existing and expanding domestic markets. Simply put, farming industrial hemp will provide the US with manufacturing jobs, expand green initiatives, and provide our struggling agriculture industry with a cash crop that can be grown across the country.

EnviroTextiles is a pioneer in the Industrial Hemp industry, having overseen hemp cultivation and textile manufacturing in Romania, China, South Korea, Hungary, and Poland over the past 22 years. Conveniently located in Colorado, EnviroTextiles is poised to take full advantage of the ability to grow industrial hemp and is currently completing a vertical operation to produce hemp products in Colorado.
