Hemp Hoe Down planned at campground
Rapid City Journal | Saturday May 8, 2004

The fourth annual Hemp Hoe Down is set for Friday and Saturday, May 21-22, at the Elk View Campground, located off Interstate 90 at Exit 37 south of Sturgis.

Doors open at 4 p.m. Friday, with hemp pizza, quesadillas and breads ready at 5 p.m. The Mad Hats will perform at 6 p.m., "hemp farmer" Alex White Plume will speak at 7:30 p.m., and the Crazy Horse Singers will follow at 8 p.m.

Tone Grown will perform at 8:30 p.m., and Keefe Green, editor of Hemphasis Magazine, will speak at 9:30 p.m. Todd Rigione will provide music from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m.

Saturday's events start with an 11 a.m. hemp pancake breakfast. Hemp information videos will be shown starting at 2 p.m. Hemp pasta, pizza and other foods will be available at 4 p.m., with a product demonstration at 5 p.m.

Evening events include Six Mile Road bluegrass band at 5:30 p.m., South Dakota U.S. Senate candidate Bob Newland at 7:30 p.m. and an open jam/open mic at 8 p.m. DJ4Norml takes the stage at 10 p.m.

Cost is $20 for two days and two nights of camping, or $7 per day and $5 to camp. One-third of all proceeds will go to Alex White Plume, who planted several hemp crops on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Federal agents raided the hemp fields before they were harvested.

[zombienote: Federal agents, of course, means DEA, and they raided Alex twice in two years, actually. It's job 1 you know.]

Hemp is related to the marijuana plant, but is used to make such products as rope, food and paper. Under federal law, it is illegal to grow hemp in the United States, but it is legal to import it. Tribal law allows hemp farming on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.
