HELP RE-EDUCATE
Tell you friends and family about the potential of hemp as a sustainable
plant, pass on the address of this web site and teach yourself the subject
(see links)
Print
off pages of this web site and pass amongst friends
Ask your local library to invest in your favourite books and articles
Set up a simple street campaign to help re-educate the public - generate
some simple to the point leaflets.
The CLCIA may be willing to provide you with some leaflets for this purpose
WRITE TO YOUR MP
It would
be better to write about single specific issues rather than asking 'why
on earth is hemp illegal?' You might for example like to write expressing
your concerns about global warming and the risks associated with nuclear
energy. You could suggest that hemp biomass is a much safer and more economical
means of producing electricity and recommend that your MP reads a copy
of the FCDA report by d'Oudney and d'Oudney (1997)
START A PETITION
DEMAND
the re-legalization of non-psychoactive hemp, outlining the main reasons
why.
USE YOUR CONSUMER INFLUENCE
Purchase
hemp products where possible. An increasing demand will stimulate an increase
in supply. (The CLCIA have a long list of suppliers). To similar effect,
try to boycott products produced by polluting industries.
ENTREPRENEURS
Consider
obtaining a licence for growing hemp from the Home Office. There is much
potential for business - there is a huge range of products you could consider
producing (eco-industry).
