Re: HEMP WORLD Newsletter
 
Hello fellow hemp enthusiasts!

I just discovered a newsletter devoted to hemp!
This is not a marijuana/drug related newsletter.
If you want that, get High Times. This is about
the hemp industry, as it is related to fiber, paper,
medicine, oils, fuel, etc.

The International Hemp Journal is published bi-monthly.
The Dec/Jan issue was the first. I just received Feb/Mar
which is the second issue.

An annual subscription, six issues, is $30 (US) and $50 (Intl).
From what I've seen of the first two, it's worth it!

Write to 

HempWorld
P.O.Box 315
Sebastopol, CA 95473

The editor/publisher is Mari Kane.

The phone is (707)887-7508
The fax # is (707)887-7639

Tell her you saw it here on the Internet, in alt.hemp.

I haven't met her yet, but Mari is supposed to be at our 
hempsters' brunch in two weeks and I'm going to introduce
her to the internet, if she isn't already clued in.
She needs to be here. She has many contacts in good places
and has a lot to say.

The latest newsletter has a front page story on the California
Hemp Initiative and it is also printed on a page towards the back.
This second issue is 12 pages long and has some interesting 
articles in it, including one by Ed Rosenthol about Hemp as Biomass.

The next issue is featuring Hemp Fashion! There should be a 
nice spread of stuff in there.

The back page also features a hemp business directory.

It's a very useful resource if youre in the hemp business
or just plain interested in it.

Please support this paper! It looks very good and is getting
widespread distribution even in it's infant stage. It will be
fun to watch it grow.

I should add that I am not associated in any way with HempWorld.

My business is with my wife in Got It Covered, a hemp product
manufacturing business which is also in it's infant stage, but
looks like it will outgrow our house by the summer! Thank you 
all who have supported us. I have posted a couple of times
regarding our postcard mailing going out this week and we have
received hundreds of responses! Yeah! Thank you very much.

Peace, Love, and Hemp...
