Hemp: Not Just for Shirts Anymore
No word yet on Whole Foods Market stores in D.C., but lucky longhairs in Maryland and Virginia may soon be able to duck out of the upscale food chain with baggies of...hemp pretzels.
And what better way to improve the taste of dough and salt than by adding a little rope material to the mix? It's not just pretzels. The Pennsylvania company also promises hemp mustard, peanut-butter-and-hemp-filled nuggets, and a bunch of other treats. Personally, I'm looking forward to the hemp-seed baklava.

Hemp pretzels? Better not send any to the White House in case W chokes again.
Hemp is still illegal to grow in the US, but over here in the UK, it is big business. I just did a talk on hemp at the Big Green Gathering - 20,000 camping for 5 days in Cheddar. We could have used some hemp pretzels, but did have 9bars, hemp milkshakes, hemp tea, hemp clothes, hemp bags.
You can get all that now in the US too.
