Although it is illegal to grow hemp in some states in the US, it can be grown in many other places such as Canada, the UK Europe, etc.  It is legal to import the fiber and seed into the US.  And it is totally legal to sell the manufacture and sell hemp clothing in any state in the United States.

Don't worry, you will not get busted for wearing your Hanes hemp undies! 

'The yields per acre are incredible," said Ken Barker, CEO of NAT.  "The plant is extremely hardy."

According to Barker, "The gateway technology that polishes the hemp fiber makes it feel as soft as cotton."
