Industrial Hemp Q&A

Do you know of any book manufacturers that use hemp paper to print on?  Lisa

Hi. I’m part of my school’s environment club. We are trying to make the school less wasteful. Are there any companies in western Canada that produce and sell bulk hemp paper? Because we are trying to find out if the paper used in our shool can be replaced by something more environmental like hemp paper. Yvonne du Plessis

My father is a farmer in North Eastern Europe and he’s interested in industrial hemp but no one knows much about harvesting or processing the crop. Where is the best place to find information for that, including ways of harvesting and machinery for further processing? Are there any farmers I could ask questions regarding aspects of growing industrial hemp? Indrek Mandmets

Where is Oregon in the line of states to grow hemp, and how do I get started? John Glidewell

I am interested in supporting the industrial aspect of the hemp industry - production of paper, car interiors, upholstery stuffing, carpeting, work clothing, fuel, etc. - by investing in companies which manufacture these things from hemp. I am a  horticulturist who cares deeply about our earth’s health and see this as an opportunity to help. Could you please steer me in this direction? Robert Bourne

A friend of mine would like to use heavy duty hemp rope as an effect at the bottom of skirting board. She would like to treat it so that if she washes the floor, it does not absorb the water. Any ideas anyone? Jane Snell

My name is Kristen Suzanne Makuch. I’m a Raw Vegan chef and author of recipe ebooks. I am sponsored by Manitoba Harvest Hemp Foods & Oils, and it’s my goal to promote hemp foods as much as possible. As a result, I have just released my latest ebook, Kristen Suzanne’s Ultimate Raw Vegan Hemp Recipes.
I am a fan of your NAIHC website and I wondered if you would be interested in adding the link to my new hemp recipe ebook on your website? If so, it’s http://www.kristensraw.com/raw_recipe_books.php#ebook-hemp

I live in British Columbia,  Canada. I am very interested in finding a hemp supplier in India, preferably one that produces and is a wholesaler of T -shirts. Do you  know how I might go about finding such a contact? Any ideas or  suggestions you might have would be much appreciated. Thanks. Andrew Gibbs

I hope this letter can reach the correct party. I am trying to add your website as a source for the fact that the Constitution was drafted on Hemp paper to www.wikepedia.org and am receiving feedback from my peers saying that your website doesn’t cite the source for the “claim”. Could you help me locate the source of the fact that “George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper. Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper.” If so it would be much appreciated? Thanks, Jared
