State Representative Kramer Introduces Hemp Bill
State Representative Jesse Kremer of Kewaskum is introducing legislation legalizing industrial hemp in Wisconsin. Through the end of World War II, state farmers grew industrial hemp that was used to make rope, paper, clothing and other products. Then it was lumped in with marijuana and declared illegal. Kremer says it’s not the same thing. Kremer is looking for other lawmakers in Madison to support the legislation.
