He said his firm is considering suing the U.S. government. Pubdate: Thur, 11 Nov 1999 Chatham-Kent -- After a lengthy battle, the United States Drug Enforcement Agency and U.S. Customs will allow a shipment of sterilized hemp seeds across the border. But Jean Laprise of Canadian-based hemp production and processing firm Kenex Ltd. said yesterday the American government had yet to fully release the 18,000-kilogram shipment. In August, U.S. officials seized the seeds in Detroit because they contain minute traces of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. "We now have a guarantee from the DEA and U.S. Customs that they will not seize any future shipments of hemp products from our company," Laprise said."It's a big win for the Canadian hemp industry." He said his firm is considering suing the U.S. government. ======================================== Arkansas Passes Industrial Hemp & Kenaf Legislation Posted by Agro-Tech Communications on October 19, 1999 Arkansas passed a resolution this year calling for the University of Arkansas to study the potential uses of Industrial Hemp and Kenaf.
