Hemp Planting on the DEA lawn...

Two farmers, two activists, a clothing designer, and a soapmaker.

Kudos to these six brave leaders of the hemp industry in the United States for driving up to the lawn of the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency) in Virginia and planting hemp seeds.

They did this to make a statement about the fact that the USA is still the only industrialized nation to prohibit the growing of industrial hemp.

The six men were swiftly arrested by police, but not before snapping some excellent pix and shooting a short video commemorating the historic event. See them HERE.

The Washington Post did a great job capturing the event in a big article that came out today. You can read it HERE.

Super stuff.
