About Our Purpose
Hemp Road Trip was founded in 2015 to raise awareness and advocate for hemp, a once flourishing plant that has been stigmatized by society. Since then we have conducted nationwide tours educating citizens, influencing state senators and representatives, and promoting domestic hemp businesses. Our journey continues as we step on the bus again to promote our cause and change the perception of hemp one stop at a time.
