Vote Hemp - Take Action

Please click here to write to President Obama and ask him to allow states to regulate hemp farming without a DEA permit. Industrial hemp does not meet any of the criteria to be scheduled at all in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Take action now!


The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) is a non-profit trade group representing hemp companies, researchers and supporters. We are at the forefront of the drive for fair and equal treatment of industrial hemp. Since 1992, the HIA has been dedicated to education, industry development, and the accelerated expansion of hemp world market supply and demand.

The hemp industry has positioned itself over the past decade to once again become a major global economic force in the 21st century. Hemp is one of
our planet's most important natural resources, and we advocate using it to its full potential.
