HIP HEMP FLOWS SOUTH

Texas companies looking to up the hip quotient in their corporate wear can
turn to Vancouver-based Hemptown, currently invading the Texas market with
its line of hemp-based clothing.

Lest the authorities confuse Hemptown's hemp with its "colorful cousin
marijuana," as Hemptown notes, remember that George Washington grew hemp.
By the same toke, current users of Hemptown's clothing include the Canadian
Football League's BC Lions, Hyundai, Toyota and the Vermont jam band Phish.

Don't look for the gear in stores; Hemptown's togs are only handed out at
corporate events. So just be mellow. And if you get real weirded out, take
a deep hit from your shirt.
