From: Coalition to Save Hemp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Please oppose DEA's plan to ban hemp.
October 5, 2000
Dear Friend:
Have you heard that the DEA is proposing to ban certain hemp products in the United States?
If you've already heard enough, please visit http://www.SaveHemp.org right away to make your voice heard.
The DEA and the drug czar claim that hemp products are "confounding our federal drug control testing program." They are claiming that the use of hemp products can cause people to test positive for marijuana, even if they have not used marijuana. This, the DEA argues, undermines the government's ability to hunt down marijuana users.
Under the proposed ban, hemp products intended for human consumption, such as hemp seed cakes and nutritional supplements, would be illegal.
The DEA is also threatening to ban personal-care hemp products -- such as hemp-based shampoos, soaps, lotions, and lip balm -- because they claim that hemp products that touch the skin might convey THC into the human system!
Only hemp paper, clothing, rope, and animal feed (including birdseed) would still be legal, because the DEA expects that people will not eat these products.
Please visit http://www.SaveHemp.org to send a letter opposing the DEA's new prohibition. (You can send one of six pre-written letters with just the click of a button.) If you act now, you can help prevent the proposed ban from taking effect. It will be difficult to reverse the regulation should it actually take effect, so it is important to act quickly.
Thank you for your help on this important matter!
Sincerely,
Coalition to Save Hemp http://www.SaveHemp.org P.S. Would you please forward this e-mail message to your family and friends?
