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.
