“The incredible success of Oregon’s first Hemp University and the media coverage that the class obtained shows the incredibly high demand and curiosity around hemp and hemp-derived products,†said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “Through The Hemp University’s media coverage last week, we were able to educate many people in the area, even if they were not able to attend the seminar.â€
With the exceptional response to the first The Hemp University, Hemp, Inc. has announced the second set of educational seminars in Oregon.
