Hemp kingpin ditches Amsterdam for Denver - Jun. 22, 2010 (http://money.cnn.com/2010/06/22/smallbusiness/hemp_empire/)
AMSTERDAM (CNNMoney.com) -- When American entrepreneur Adam Dunn moved to the Netherlands at age 19, his first business plan wasn't anything to write home about. He'd crammed 300 Rolling Stones concert T-shirts into his luggage, hoping to sell them for some quick cash.
That was in 1989. Today the 40-year-old native of Woodstock, N.Y., presides over a "hempire" that boasts more than $3 million in annual revenue. With business partner Douglas Mignola, 41, Dunn co-owns three companies, all headquartered in Amsterdam. There's T.H. Seeds, which breeds seeds for marijuana growers; Hemp HoodLamb, a hemp clothing company whose signature jackets feature built-in rolling-paper dispensers; and Hemp Works, a brick-and-mortar store that sells all things -- you guessed it -- hemp.
After two decades of carefully tending his businesses, Dunn is making the most radical leap of his career. He's moving back to America. (continued at link above)
