About The Hemp HOPE Group
Established in 2010 as The Foundation HOPE in Orange County, California, The Hemp HOPE Group has been at the forefront of the hemp and cannabis advocacy movement. HOPE, which stands for "Hemp Offers People Everything," embodies our belief in the transformative power of this versatile plant.
Our Mission
Our journey began with a commitment to educate the world about the myriad benefits of hemp and cannabis. Through our efforts, we aimed to demonstrate how these plants could revolutionize numerous industries, making them more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
A Call to Action
As we delved deeper into our research, it became evident that hemp's criminalization was not due to any inherent danger to humans, but rather posed a threat to the profits of several powerful industries. Big Oil, Paper, Timber, Pharma, Sugar, and Private Prisons colluded to keep hemp illegal, fearing its potential to disrupt their bottom lines.
Taking a Stand
With this realization, we transitioned from mere awareness-raising to active engagement in advocacy and legislative change. Our efforts focused on challenging hemp's criminalization and advocating for its legalization and integration into mainstream industries.
Achievements
In 2013 and 2014, we played a pivotal role in crucial legislative victories. We assisted in getting hemp added to the national farm bill, signed by President Obama, and successfully lobbied for the legalization of hemp for research and development in Virginia.
Innovation and Development
Beyond advocacy, we've spearheaded numerous initiatives in hemp technology and product development. From hemp paper and fabric to wood alternatives, plastics, hempcrete, and even space tech applications, we've demonstrated the incredible versatility and potential of this plant.
Looking Ahead
As we continue our journey, our commitment to harnessing hemp's potential for the betterment of society remains unwavering. We envision a future where hemp plays a central role in sustainable industry, environmental conservation, and human well-being.
Leading the Hemp Tech Revolution
At The Hemp HOPE Group, we are pioneers in hemp technology innovation, driving the industry forward with groundbreaking advancements. Our vision extends beyond mere products; we are building a future where hemp serves as the cornerstone of sustainable solutions across diverse sectors.
Innovative Product Development
Our commitment to innovation knows no bounds. From the textiles in our clothing to the materials used in our packaging, we prioritize hemp-based alternatives for their superior quality, durability, and eco-friendliness. By harnessing the natural strength and versatility of hemp fibers, we are revolutionizing industries one product at a time.
