The International Hemp Association is a non-profit organization established in 1992 to
promote the beneficial uses of hemp products worldwide. The organization encourages
and facilitates the accumulation and exchange of information on Cannabis, sponsors
projects in several countries and publishes a journal for its members. The IHA is
supported by memberships and by donations from foundations, corporations and individuals.
Although many IHA members may feel that in light of the great economic potential of
Cannabis, the current legal restrictions hampering Cannabis research and hemp cultivation
should be reconsidered, the IHA does not endorse a political stance on Cannabis
legislation, nor will it serve as a forum for the Cannabis legalization debate.

The IHA has three types of membership; Student (US $25/NLG
40 per year), Individual (US $50/NLG 80 per year) and Sustaining/Business (US $100/NLG 60

Sustaining members can direct their contribution toward any specific project they prefer. A financial audit of income and expenditures is available to sustaining members.
