Celebrate Hemp History Awareness with the UIEC

5639405146
Join the University of Iowa Environmental Coalition as we celebrate the power of grass-root campaigning to raise awareness about the history of hemp production in the US! We will be hosting a free screening of the film "Hempsters," a documentary that details the usefulness of hemp as a fibrous plant and natural resource. As the US is the only industrialized country to ban the production of hemp, we must work to advocate for change and foster discussion surrounding what has historically been a clouded issue. Hope to see you there!
