Hemphasis
Hemphasis was an American hemp legalization activist magazine and published two issues in 2003 - 2004 prior to migrating all of it's publishing activities to its website; hemphasis.net.[1]
History and profile[edit]
Hemphasis was launched in 2003[2][3] [4] as a grassroots zine and distributed over 100000 copies[5] at hemp culture friendly locations all over the world. Published out of South Dakota, Hemphasis campaigned for hemp legalization[6]. Prior to mass adoption of the internet, hemp activist magazines such as Hemphasis provided crucial opportunities for the sharing of information, networking, and maintaining the momentum of the hemp legalization movement. In 2005, Hemphasis migrated all magazine content to its new website[1] and continued to publish hemp articles and information online.

Notable Hemp Awareness and Activism Projects[edit]
Hemphasis, it's staff, and its supporters were involved in several hemp related projects designed to increase awareness of hemp and to test local and Federal laws relating to the possession and cultivation of hemp (Cannabis sativa L):
The first modern American Hempcrete house[edit]
In 2007, Hemphasis founders and staff collaborated with Alex White Plume and the White Plume clan for the construction of the first modern American Hempcrete house.[14] The house was constructed at Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota, part of the Sioux nation, and home to the Lakota People.
The Alex White Plume hemp growing saga at Pine Ridge reservation[edit]
In 2004, Hemphasis magazine and the South Dakota industrial hemp council organized a wild hemp harvesting event at the Pine Ridge reservation.[15] The event was designed to illustrate the versatility and functionality of industrial hemp and to protest at the treatment of Alex White Plume by Federal Enforcement officers.[16]
Bob Newland Enters South Dakota’s US Senate Race[edit]
In 2004, Bob Newland, one of the founders of Hemphasis made a bid for the South Dakota Senate seat.[17] His campaign focused on legalization of industrial hemp, more clear income tax laws, an end to medical cannabis prohibition, adherence to the US Constitution, and adherence to the terms of the treaties between the US government and the Indian tribes.
Hemphasis was founded by hemp activists Bob Newland and Jeremy Briggs who both contributed articles to the zine and website as well as being involved in trying to raise awareness of hemp and in campaigning for the legalization of hemp in South Dakota and Nationally.
