This is pure speculation on my part, but I would bet Frank VanVranken put a little pressure on Peter Meier to get involved with the hemp. I did considerable research on hemp and discovered it is a remarkable product with many worth while uses-nothing to do with smoking dope. Been used by our forefathers for years in a variety of ways. Now Frank is in the MJ world along with his buddy Bruce Perlowin at HEMP, Inc. I don't see HIMR becoming anywhere near a MJ company-some are faltering fast. We are going to harvest exotic trees and lead the world in this industry, with or without the hemp. JMHO
