Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, non-profit advocacy group founded in 2000 by members of the hemp industry to remove barriers to industrial hemp farming in the U.S. through education, legislation and advocacy. We work to build grassroots support for hemp through voter education, registration and mobilization, as well as defend against any new laws, regulations or policies that would prohibit or restrict hemp trade.

Industrial hemp is the non-psychoactive, low-THC, oilseed and fiber varieties of the Cannabis sativa plant. Hemp has absolutely no use as a recreational drug.

Please make a year-end donation to Vote Hemp!

Vote Hemp depends entirely on contributions from supporters like you to do our work. Your contribution to us will help in many different ways.

We had an incredibly successful year in 2009 with Oregon and Maine passing hemp farming legislation, both bills signed into law, and Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota and Vermont all passing resolutions urging the federal government to allow the states to regulate industrial hemp farming. The passage of industrial hemp legislation on the state level is just one part of our multi-faceted strategy to get hemp farmed and processed here in the U.S. once again. With your help we can continue on our mission.

May 17 - 23, 2010 is Hemp History Week!

A joint project of Vote Hemp and the Hemp Industries Association, Hemp History Week is looking for patriotic Americans to anchor and organize events in their hometown as part of a national grassroots, media and public education campaign.
