7 Did You Know? Growing cotton uses about 23% of all the insecticides used globally Growing enough cotton for one t-shirt requires 257 gallons of water Bleaching and dying the resulting cotton fabric creates toxins that flow into our ecosystem Fortunately, we have an eco-friendly alternative

9 Myths about Hemp Myth 1: You can get high off of hemp. Fact: Less than 0.3% THC High amounts of CBD No amount can get a person high. Myth 2: United States law has always treated hemp and marijuana the same.
