Arkansas Hemp Futures

If it were legal to grow in Arkansas, hemp could be a big cash crop, given rising demand for U.S.-made hemp products ranging from clothing to cosmetics. We examine current hemp laws, with a national industrial hemp advocate, and talk with a state organizer gathering petition initiative signatures to bring hemp to the 2016 ballot in Arkansas.

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
