POLISH HEMP LOBBY

Hemp Lobby - Industrial Hemp Association was founded in 2005 by the Gota Project. It is the first independant organisation working on a free will basis. Its object is to create and intergrate a balanced milieau concentrating on industrial, cultural and political hemp matters. Hemp Lobby fascilitates an exchange of information and experience concerning policies of production, retail, as well as promoting hemp articles.

Business aside, Hemp Lobby also works with all unions and initiatives which are developing the growth of the hemp market.

A priority of the association is to create a program to redress the farming industry of hemp fibre, together with the support of the already existing ABC - Hemp Farming project.

In 2006, the founders of Hemp Lobby together with Agency Sowjet, the publishers of the monthly Hanf Journal, conceived a new project. The effect of this project is the first free hemp newspaper Spliff, released earlier this year. It is the first periodical of its kind in Poland, also for the Polish communities living abroad within the European Union.

Additional lobbying relies upon organisations of demonstrations and events - e.g. the yearly Free Hemp March (MMM), which with the help of the above named projects could become the event of the year 2007.
