[{"type":"text","content":"\nSPRING HOPE, NC, June 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today the company applauds Missouri for becoming the fortieth state in the nation to legalize hemp. \n In one of his last official acts in office on June 1, then-Governor of Missouri, Eric Greitens, approved  House Bill 2034, which legalizes industrial hemp farming in the state. “The new law legalizes the cultivation of industrial hemp and all products, including [cannabidiol] CBD, made from it,” according to Hemp Magazine. “The legislation also establishes a state hemp pilot program in accordance with the 2014 Farm Bill.

Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot hemp processing and manufacturing facility has been operational since August, 2017. Hemp, Inc.’s consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc.
