Background Synopsis
On October 9, 2001, the US DEA published new rules to ban all hemp foods
containing any THC. Nutiva's hemp food products contain no detectable THC
andare thus legal to consume. HOWEVER, with advancing testing procedures that
can check down to parts per billion, hemp food products are at a potential
risk. On 10-19,2001 Nutiva, along with the Hemp Industries Association, Hemp
Oil Canada, Hempola, Kenex, Nature's Path, North Farm Coop, and Tierra Madre
filed in the 9th Circuit Federal Court in SF, seeking to dismiss the DEA's
latest ruling making. Hemp foods would have no legal standing if we do not
fight now to prevent DEA from getting its "any THC is illegal" position
written into the law. The DEA has held no hearings, is violating due
process,and has refused to discuss these issues with the natural foods 
industry.

What you can do to help:
1)  Please keep buying hemp food products to support the hemp industry.

2) Call your US Senator and Congressperson and request that this
unconstitutional DEA attempt to ban hemp foods be stopped immediately.

3) Encourage your local retailer to continue to stock hemp food products.

Future talks will cover more hemp fiber and foods uses.
