The Michigan Industrial Hemp Education and Marketing Project has the stated goal of "Working to expand hemp as a natural resource for industrial and private enterprise."
Our mission is to educate the public and state government officials
about Industrial Hemp and try to clear up the myths and teach the facts
through meetings and seminars and setting up booths at public events.
We also will be working to connect consumers and vendors of hemp
products in Michigan and in the United States.
We are a Michigan State non profit organization and funded through membership dues, fund raising events, and donations.
If you are interested in helping out or becoming a member please do not hesitate to contact us.

Interested non-members may also subscribe to infrequent email alerts.
Our Objective in Action » back to top «
Looking to directly work the hall and offices of Lansing, our direct geographically focused action plan involves YOU in the legislative process. With your 9-digit zip code, we will target both who your State Senator and State Representative in Lansing are. When we meet with your legislators, we will alert you with their contact information, allowing you to contact them to voice your support for our efforts.
In addition, we will let your legislators know how many members are in their district (though we never share your information; numerical information only. See our Privacy Policy). Obviously the more members we have in each district, the more powerful our voice can be in making positive change.
Legislative Policy » back to top «
During the next several months we will be pushing forth an agenda to enact legislation allowing for the legal, regulated use of industrial hemp to be grown only for fiber, seed, biomass, etc., and NOT for recreational or medicinal purposes. Remember, the best industrial hemp produces the least valuable medicinal and recreational product, and this organization does not condone the use of such output.
The details of this policy will change over time, and as we communicate with statewide agencies, farmers, law enforcement officials, manufacturers, entrepreneurs and elected officials, details will change. The details -- and thus the text -- are dynamic, so check here often. Members will have access to two forums for their input.
