To Pass A Drug Test Choose Your Level.

Specific Drug Testing Information.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) published regulations regarding industrial hemp products in the Federal Register on October 9, 2001 which were effective immediately. Without any compelling reason or the required public notice and comment period, the DEA issued an interpretive rule banning hemp seed and oil food products that contain any amount of trace residual THC. DEA also issued an interim rule exempting hemp bodycare and fiber products from DEA control.

After extensive meetings and discussions with most of the major hemp food companies, it has become clear that according to the official Health Canada testing protocol, none of these hemp food companies have any detectable THC in their products. These companies feel they comply with the DEA's regulations as written and wish to reassure distributors, retailers and customers that their nutritious hemp foods remain perfectly legal for resale and consumption.

However, since the DEA has not specified a detection protocol and a corresponding de minimus limit of detection, the Hemp Industries Association (HIA) and supporting plaintiffs are filing for a "Stay Pending Review" in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. If granted, the stay would have the effect of invalidating the interpretive rule and force the DEA into formal rule-making process and allow an opportunity for public notice and comment before any rule would take effect.

Hemp seeds and oil have absolutely no psychoactive effect and are about as likely to be abused as poppy seed bagels for their trace opiate content, or fruit juices because of their trace alcohol content (present through natural fermentation). Furthermore, the hemp industry has established the science based TestPledge (http://www.testpledge.com) program. TestPledge companies clean their seed and oil to assure consumers a wide margin of safety from confirming positive in a workplace drug-test even when eating an unrealistic amount of hemp foods daily. The DEA's actions are especially puzzling, as they have not targeted poppy seeds and their trace opiates. In fact, the U.S. government raised drug-test thresholds for opiates in the 1990's to accommodate the poppy seed industry.

Hemp seed is one of nature's most perfect sources for human nutrition. In addition to its excellent flavor profile, the seeds supply all the essential amino acids in an easily digestible form with a high protein efficiency ratio. Hemp oil offers high concentrations of the two essential fatty acids (EFA's) in a perfect ratio of the omega-3/omega-6 acids. This superior nutritional profile makes shelled hemp seed and oil ideal for a wide range of functional food applications and as an effective fatty acid supplement. Not surprisingly, shelled hemp seed and oil are increasingly used in natural food products, such as corn chips, nutrition bars, hummus, nondairy milks, breads and cereals.

The high and balanced essential fatty acid content of hemp oil also makes it ideal as a topical ingredient in both leave-on and rinse-off bodycare products. The EFA's help soothe and restore skin in lotions and creams and give excellent emolliency and smooth after feel to lotions, lip balms, conditioners, shampoos, soaps and shaving products.

Estimated retail sales for hemp food and bodycare products in the U.S. exceeded $25 million in 2000, up from less than $1 million in the early 90's. Hemp foods and bodycare products have penetrated the mainstream marketplace and rapid growth was expected to continue before Tuesday's DEA action, and hopefully still will despite the DEA's scare tactics.

Poppy seeds contain trace opiates, fruit juice contains trace alcohol, hemp seeds contain trace THC. Trace contaminants exist in nature and in our food supply, and our government regulatory agencies set limits to protect consumer health. The hemp industry has responsibly addressed all health, safety and drug-testing issues with a wide margin of safety, and would like to formalize TestPledge standards with governmental sanction. However, the DEA does not want to acknowledge the truth of hemp seed and oil foods: that they are a superior nutritional resource for Americans.

Hemp offers environmental advantages and has a long history of use for paper, fabrics, cordage and birdseed, as well as being a nutritional food and superior bodycare ingredient. Hemp is now being grown in 29 countries including Canada, England, France, Germany and Spain. Each of these countries has adopted regulatory models that allow for safe human consumption of hemp products. Legislation relating to hemp has been passed in 16 states. This past year, the National Conference of State Legislatures adopted a resolution calling for changes to federal laws to allow for domestic hemp cultivation.

The DEA's planned new rules will cause substantial harm to hemp businesses and consumers alike and are not based on any real threat or abuse potential. Like poppy seed, hemp seed is clearly exempted from the Controlled Substances Act by Congress. 21 U.S.C. 802(16), (19) and (20).

We need to let DEA know that their actions are wrong and educate them about the benefits of hemp foods. Please take a moment to write DEA today by clicking here: "Send a Pre-written Fax".
