Anyone want to start a hemp farm?

its a great idea..

Its going to be the staple to manufacturing within the next 5 years.. Learn it now, then your ready to when its time, but the time is coming, so dont waist it..

Learn, Learn, Learn

awesome!

I would 'invest' with someone serious, who knows what they're doing - because it is a GREAT idea.

The benefits of hemp are so intense that it has led many to believe that the plant has the capacity to reverse the Greenhouse Effect; as well as aid in purifying the air, water, and soil.

Not only does the plant offer an assortment of physical, industrial and economical benefits, but hemp also provides advantages in nutrition, farming and even body care.

Save Trees: A worldwide switch to hemp plant paper could do wonders for the Earth. The planet smiles upon the hemp plant, which allows near-extinct species to no longer worry about losing their natural habitat. Additionally, hemp paper is much easier to make, costs less to generate and lasts much longer.

And it's even easy to grow . . . .

The mind does not like easy, its not profitable to large corporations.

and don't forget the oils, I'm ready!

I'm married.

They say only 6 plants per person in Colorado.

I hear there are counties in Colorado with no building codes. If several people pitched in and bought 40 acres or more... could build off grid... grow your own fuel, food, medicine......

Industrial hemp regulations will allow for fields of (less than .3% thc) hemp to be grown.

Yes! Where I live there are many hemp shops with everything from notebooks to clothing (made in USA).

So some hemp farmers out there are doing just fine.

I'm in

Same here

Only the Natives in N./S. Dakotas can grow it for profit

I am a Washington State resident. Hemp farming would be awsome. We still have to worry about the federal government interfering in our affairs- they have been very silent until now. Over half the US has some kind of derminialized marijuana statute, medical or now, legalized marijuana! The government needs to rescdule cannabis to schedule 2 so the feds can get out of the way. We also have the pesky UN charter- (an arcaic piece that could be used to bring UN troops to our soils).

We are legalizing marijuana up here in 5 days (December 6th). Anyone who is physically on Wasghington State ground can posses up to one ounce. Please come up to visit us and celebrate the new freedom.

Several bills loom to allow hemp farming, though medical marijuana licensed people can grow up to 16 plants at a time. Would that be enough to create commerce?

Oh hey OP! Seems like we're on the same page, this is exactly what I'm doing after I spend Christmas with the family.

Anyone have any ideas how one could proceed? I'm not looking to run things or make a profit.

Where is the place to signup?

There should definitely be an application process to determine who gets in.

We could crowdsource a high-tech cannabis commune!

I already have most of the industry data aggregating into an auto-tagging system, which allows for minimal effort to further organize the valuable data into a collaborative wiki that is consistently up-to-date with industry trends. I created a newsletter that lists all new articles/forum posts/ patent apps / etc. out for you every day - clearly stating which company/products/trends are discussed in the articles. It is definitely the most comprehensive news source for cannabis! (& I have searched nearly everywhere for such a comprehensive system!) I had planned to possibly charge for monthly access due the value of the data, but am not going to do that yet. I would much rather just find some people in the industry who want to collaborate (remotely or preferably on shared land)via pull motivation, driven by the ideas that we create & deploy together, through logical industry trend analysis & proven business methods. The sky is the limit when you have a group of highly motivated people truly driven to do (nearly) the same thing. Lets do this!

If people are serious, continue to post on this thread & I will post an application, though if anybody else has a better method, please speak up now, thanks!

Ya, but they haven't changed those laws yet.

funny you should mention hemp

I saw this article just the other day:


Hemp: Could the US rekindle its love affair?


25 November 2012
By Jon Kelly
BBC News Magazine, Washington DC

Hemp, once a major US crop, has been banned for years because of its close association with cannabis. But several states now want to resume hemp farming, and two states voted this month in favour of legalisation of cannabis. Could change be in the air?

I'm in Ohio and although I cannot help with the financial end of it, I most certainly can help on the production end.

20+ years of experience.

Nice man! I would love to have that in full color!

Another way we could collaborate ----

Crowdsourcing new cannabis businesses!

WEBSITE
Signup for a geographic area & a specific type of product/service that you want to offer
when people in the same geographic area also post similar interests, you will be notified of them.

Helping people driven by cannabis to find each other, be automatically informed about the industry, collaborate on/crowdsource industry data, deploy new businesses (created by the networks formed through our online community), and fund new products through crowdfunding. We could potentially even have a research community that is developing patents that will be open to everyone (to ensure pharmaceutical companies do not have legal control over some of the best variations of cannabis (many of which have yet to be developed!)).

Wow Im in.!

Obviously i am referring to hemp as well as the psychoactive cannabis. Hemp is not as profitable right now since we cant grow it on a large scale, so our best bet would be to focus upon cannabis right now.

So, if a person with a bag of weed jumps up in the air, are they then subject to prosecution until they hit the ground again?

Why can't we grow it on a large scale? You gotta start somewhere.

NOW is the time to do it.

Count me in. Would be a passion of mine and have some experience.
