Wilson, You are becoming quite the hemp authority. Yes, I have heard of the hemp beer. There was an article a few weeks ago about it being served on Air Force One. In fact there is a current story about it (see attached link)http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v99.n240.a07.html

I'm not sure if this is investor quality stuff. There are a lot of potential products that can be made from hemp, but I don't think hemp beer will ever be able to compete for a significant market share of the beer buying public. Perhaps as a small nitch player but I doubt much beyond that.

I think the greater long term potential (at this time) is in CGPR who produces the hemp seed which the beer is made. Many possible products for seed, not just a fad (IMHO) beer.

There is one company developing containers made from hemp. They are to replace the polyfoam containers you get at hamburger stands etc. The advantage being the containers themselves can be flavored and eaten as part of the meal. Should you choose to litter instead, it breaks down to a natural organic soil nutrient and benefits the environment rather than polluting it. What a deal.

I know a couple of other people who are looking at CGPR. We may have others on the thread someday. We have the company, now we just need the patience.
