Neither H.R. 5842 nor H.R. 5843 (110th. Congress) were enacted. We are in the 111th. Congress.

Call your congressional representative and tell them you want them to support the Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2009 (H.R. 1866).
Call your senator and tell them you want them to support Senate Bill 714 (S.714).

H. R. 1866 would allow for the commercial farming of industrial grade hemp. Low potency grades would be exempted from federal prohibition and states would be allowed to regulate commercial production of hemp.

S. 714 seeks the establishment a blue-ribbon commission to review the efficaciousness of America's criminal justice policies with particular focus on the criminalization of nonviolent drug possession.
