Hemp, Inc. Partners With The Silver Tour to Expand Its Market Awareness Campaign

LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwired - Aug 27, 2015) - Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMPD) (OTC PINK: HEMP) announced today it will partner with infomercial producer, Robert Platshorn, of The Silver Tour, a non-profit advocacy group that raises awareness of medical marijuana and hemp for senior citizens. The Silver Tour will kick off America's first national cannabis media campaign to educate voters on the real facts about cannabis, medical marijuana and industrial hemp. Through The Silver Tour, Hemp, Inc. expects to further increase awareness of industrial hemp and expand its brand footprint in the market.

The company initially kicked off its market awareness campaign with a full media partnership and public relations campaign with Freedom Leaf, Inc. (OTC PINK: FRLF) whereby Hemp, Inc. will advertise across Freedom Leaf's platforms. Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) and longtime supporter of The Silver Tour, said, "Our Media Advisor, Cliff Perry of Freedom Leaf, Inc., advised us of the unique opportunity to partner with a longstanding awareness organization and urged us to sponsor the first ever nationwide industrial hemp and medical marijuana education campaign."

Robert Platshorn, founder of The Silver Tour, has had massive success influencing senior voters to back the legalization of medical marijuana. According to Platshorn, his TV show, "Should Grandma Smoke Pot?" aired hundreds of times on U.S. TV stations and was featured on Jon Stewart's Daily Show. Surprisingly, no other cannabis organization has ever used traditional national media for public education on marijuana. The Silver Tour is set to air one thousand "Cannabis Facts" every week on America's top news/talk radio stations from September 2015 until the 2016 elections.

"I've always known the re-emergence of America's hemp industry would be tied to ending cannabis prohibition. The Silver Tour has been wildly successful in influencing law makers and voters to take a more rational view of not just medical marijuana but the tremendous potential of the commercial hemp industry," said Perlowin. "Robert is running a total of 3,000 radio ads per month and Hemp, Inc. will be mentioned before and after each ad. We'll be mentioned 6,000 times per month. This is the first time in history anyone has ever done that and we are excited to be a part of it. Robert has been an incredible activist in our industry, very well respected and known throughout the industry."
