An advocate of
hemp farming in Southwest Colorado vows to continue her quest to
cultivate a local economic boom on the back of “the devil’s lettuce.”
“I plan on persevering,” said Sharon Stewart, who owns a coffee shop on Cortez’s Main Street.
Although
interest has dissipated since launching the Hemp Talks group last fall,
Stewart hopes to attract wider support in 2015 via public screenings of
“Bringing It Home,” a documentary on the historical, economic and
political impacts of industrial hemp. Viewings in Dove Creek, Cortez and
Durango are being planned.
