Hemponomics

Hemponomics is written by entrepreneur and co-founder of HempStrong Brands, Scott Sondles. Those who pick up this book should expect to learn about all things industrial hemp. Hemponomics does not discuss medical marijuana as this is a separate industry.

This section includes details of the hemp trade between Russia and the European continent, as well as the Kentucky hemp industry of the 18th and 19th century. The second section dives into the details of prohibition and lists the who, what, when, where and why hemp was outlawed. This section also revisits the politics of this era and shows how the political atmosphere during this decade paved the way for hemp prohibition. The third section discusses the versatility of the plant and what industries could benefit the most, they include textiles, bioplastics, paper, food, biofuels,and farming. The fourth and final section introduces HempStrong Brands to the reader and dives into our views, vision, and mission of the HempStrong team.

Countless hours were spent researching the hemp industry and the goal was to create an easy to read book where customers and fans of hemp could get a ton of information in a book that reads quick.
