"Hemp For Victory"
Hemp for Victory is an important marker in the global history of hemp. After the prohibition of hemp in the 1930's, a way had to be found to backtrack, licence the formerly outlawed resource for growing, in order that the war-drive could roll ever on, towards its final victory.

In times of dire resource shortages, there is no crop which grows as prolifically, or has so many uses, as the humble hemp plant. Since WWII, technology and processes have improved immeasurably.

With our advanced technologies, can't we do more with hemp, now? Now, as then, the usefulness of the hemp plant can save lives and help to revitalise production of sustainably manufactured goods, at the local level.
