HempCar Manifesto
NORML Washington DC
I met Kellie & Grayson
I was vending at the Washington DC NORML event selling Hempzels™ their team had converted a Mercedes Benz to run on hemp seed bio diesel fuel. It smelled like french fries, was noisy but didn't use typical gasoline. They had no idea where they were going to start so I suggested coming up to Hempland Township, they did it better and went to Henry Anslingers grave in Johnstown, Pa first than came to Lancaster, York and toward Philly, New York - 13,000 miles to prove a point.

Working With Steve Groff
Steve & I met prior when I hosted the Hemp Meetings with the Lancaster Farmers earlier in the year. He embraced the idea that his farm would eventually be growing hemp, he is HEMP Innovator
Lancaster Press Conference
I met Steve Groff earlier at my Hemp Meeting with the farmers in Yoder's Restaurant. He was growing a similar plant "kenaf" - people would say some guy in southern Lancaster is growing hemp and we found out it was sun hemp. Years later Steve is now CEO of Hemp Innovators out of Holtwood, PA besides a Cover Crop Farming Guru.
I invited Les to provide a demo which he was happy to participate he is know Executive Director of Keystone Cannabis Coalition. .
