Hemp Study Group Videos

June 20, 2023 by Maureen McC Leave a Comment

Explore the potential of hemp as a viable alternative natural resource—Taking a creative and engaging approach to raising awareness of all the benefits hemp has to offer, we are seeking and promoting ways to embrace hemp in our everyday lives.

We are united in our commitment to educate ourselves, and in turn, share that experience with others in an attempt to destigmatize this sustainable, resilient, diverse, and fundamental member of our ecosystem.
