EKU Students Educating On Hemp
KENUCKY...
An Eastern Kentucky University student group is taking a tutoring role on the difference between marijuana and hemp, a once-popular crop whose roots trace back to colonial times in the region.
Members of the EKU student branch of NORML, a marijuana advocacy group, say they are not trying to promote marijuana smoking.
EKU sophomore Ashley Sharp, president of the campus NORML chapter, says the goal is to educate people about industrial, medical and personal uses.
Membership in the campus group is open to any EKU student, and the group is sanctioned by the university like other student organizations.
The local chapter's vice president, sophomore Kristina Waters, says the group plans to get the community involved by inviting elected officials and others to give public presentations.
