‘Multi-million dollar’ cash crop hemp nearing legal return to Pa.
HARRISBURG, Pa. -- Shawn House stands at the bottom of the Pennsylvania Capitol steps with a smile on his face and an empty bag of pretzels in his hands.
"Hempzel's Pretzels," he says. "It's a mix of hemp and pretzels."
It's also completely legal. House, who runs the Lancaster Trading Company and it's Hempzel's Pretzels brand, uses industrial hemp in his products every day. The hemp he uses comes from the same cannabis species as the more familiar drug, and the plant it grows from looks similar to the drug, but it contains minimal doses of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the substance which leads to the high marijuana smokers feel.
"Knowledge is powerful," Shawn says. "Just because you have seed, doesn't mean you have weed."
