In 1937, Ralph Loziers, general counsel of the National Institute of Oilseed Products, told the Congressional committee studying marijuana prohibition in 1937 that, Hempseed is used in all the Oriental nations and also in a part of Russia as food. It is grown in their fields and used as oatmeal. Millions of people every day are using hempseed in the Orient as food. They have been doing this for many generations, especially in periods of famine.
That was more than 60 years ago. Today we know hempseed is the plant kingdoms richest source of life-giving essential fatty acids, and may well be the cure for cancer and heart disease.
