It is a Great day in History when a Man like Gov. Hickenlooper Stands Strong for his STATE of Colorado! Now I challenge the other Governors to follow!
| SB13-241 | Industrial Hemp Growers Registration DOA | Schwartz & Crowder / Coram & Fischer | Concerning the creation of a program in the department of agriculture to regulate industrial hemp production and making an appropriation. |
DENVER — Tuesday, May 28, 2013 — Gov. John Hickenlooper signed these bills into law today.

Coloradoans were thrilled on Monday after discovering that their state’s House passed SB 13-241, a bill that would legally allow industrial hemp cultivation.
Lifting the federal brand on hemp as being an illicit substance, regardless of hemp containing only less than 1% of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis, is becoming a popular state-level trend recently. Washington State, Missouri, New Hampshire, California, and Kentucky have all been working to legalize industrial hemp.
Colorado’s House vote was unanimous – 34 to 1 and was lightly amended after already being passed out of the Senate. Now the legislation is on its way back to the Senate and considering the Senate already passed its first version, the chances of the Senate turning down the bill are essentially non-existent. It will then be up to Governor Hickenlooper to determine whether or not the bill will be signed into state law.
If it becomes law, SB 13-241 would “repeal the industrial hemp remediation pilot program in the department of public health and environment, enacted by House Bill 12-1099, and replace the pilot program with a program in the department of agriculture that requires a person seeking to engage in industrial hemp cultivation for commercial purposes or to grow industrial hemp for research and development purposes to register with he department.”
Fundamentally, the bill would rename the department’s program regarding hemp and what it can be used for.
The bill specifies that with an appropriate registration issued by the program, growers may “engage in industrial hemp cultivation for commercial purposes or grow industrial hemp outdoors on not more than ten acres for research and development purposes.”
Interestingly, the bill also acts as a creed for the conception of the industrial hemp committee. “The Industrial Hemp Committee is hereby established. The chair of the agriculture, livestock, and natural resources committee in the house of representatives and the chair of the agriculture, natural resources, and energy committee in the senate shall jointly appoint seven members to the industrial hemp remediation pilot program committee which is hereby established,” reads the bill.
It is stipulated in the bill that someone interested in cultivating industrial hemp must first apply to the department for a registration from the committee by the first of May of the year in which they wish to grow.
The applicant wishing to cultivate the hemp also has to inform the committee of specific information including the geographical location of where the hemp is going to be grown and personal information belonging to the applicant such as their home address. Each registration is valid for only one year.
If signed into law, the commissioner will adopt the rules of the new provision to allow hemp cultivation registrations by March 1, 2014.

As a sign of gratitude for how my wife was saved from fibroid, i decided to reach out to those still suffering from this.
ReplyDeleteMy wife suffered from fibroid for more than 20 year of marriage after our first son and it was really tough and heartbreaking for me because she was my all and the symptoms were terrible, she had irregular and painful menstrual flow and the size of it was 5cm, and she always complain of stomach pain. we tried various therapies prescribed by our neurologist but none could cure her. I searched for a cure and i saw a testimony by someone who was cured and so many other with similar body problem, and she left the contact of the doctor who had the natural cure to fibroid. I never imagined fibroid has a natural cure if not surgery not until i contacted him and he assured me my wife will be fine. I got the herbal medication he recommended and my wife used it as instructed by Dr Godstime, and in one months time we went to the hospital for scan and the doctor confirmed that there is no trace of fibroid and now she is fully okay, even up till this moment she is so full of life. fibroid has a cure and it is a herbal cure contact the doctor for more info on: Drgodstimehealinghome@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2349063469910 on how to get his medication.
