We learn a few interesting things from this Environmental News Network item on Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoing The California Industrial Hemp Farming Act. Notably:
- “The North American hemp market now exceeds an estimated $300 million in annual retail sales.”
- “AB 684 would have revitalized commercial industrial hemp farming in California, which occurred in the state until shortly after World War II.”
- “The landmark, bi-partisan legislation would have followed North Dakota in establishing guidelines for the farming of industrial hemp which is used in a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including food, body care, clothing, paper, and auto parts.”
Auto parts?
