[dropcap class=”kp-dropcap”]H[/dropcap]ere at CULTURE, there is never a limit on the amount of coverage and praise that can be given to the hemp plant. Every year new innovations allow the country and the world see how versatile hemp is. Hemp-derived medicines help countless people treat their medical conditions, as well as for their pets. It’s many help benefits allow the seeds and oil to be eaten and cooked with. It can be used as an ingredient in concrete, biofuel, and can even be sued to make other unique items such as aircraft and automotive bodies, as well as skateboards.

Multiple U.S. governors signed hemp legislation over the past two months alone, not to mention that there are even more bills in the works to help the U.S. move forward. Right now, history is in the making and there’s no better time to be a part of it because this week, between June 3-9, is the 10th annual Hemp History Week. It’s one of the nation’s largest campaigns to educate citizens about the many benefits of embracing hemp, and everyone is invited to celebrate.

The Hemp Industries Association joins hundreds of businesses and companies participate by hosting educational seminars and hands-on classes to get people more familiar with the plant that’s being promoted throughout the country. Anyone interested in what’s going on in their area can visit the Hemp History Week event page, which details the time, place and information regarding a wide variety of things to see and experience. It includes Farmers Markets, informational seminars, hemp-based fashion shows, cannabinoid processing and so much more.

Interested parties are also invited to reach out to their state legislators, with the help of the Hemp Industries Association’s organized list of government contacts. This allows easy communication between a voter who wants to tell their political representatives why hemp is so great.

It’s more important now than ever before to ensure that the population understands that hemp could play a big part in the future of the U.S.—and the world.
