The Hemp Heals Music Festival returns to Philly on September 7 at the Festival Pier! Hemp Heals was founded to spread awareness of Hemp as an industrial product and promote holistic approaches to living & eating healthy. Hemp has a variety of advantages environmentally and is different (and often confused) with its redneck cousin marijuana.

Artists at the 2013 Hemp Heals Music Fest include:

• Rebelution
• Matisyahu
• Collie Buddz
• New Kingston
• Bong hits for Jesus

Former Philadelphia Flyers player Riley Cote founded the non-profit org, The Hemp Heals Foundation after his younger sister, Jaime was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. She found a way to treat and alleviate her symptoms through her diet – specifically through the use of hemp.

Cote & Michelle Miller of The Nouveau Image are planning lots of music, along with a variety of hemp products such as food, clothing, jewelry, and much more.
