Who You Will Meet On A Hemp Tour...

What is hemp?

Hemp is legally defined as a cannabis sativa L plant with less than 0.3% THC. In addition to producing cannabinoids like CBD & CBG, it can be grown specific for more than 25,000 uses including construction materials, clothing,  biofuels, bioplastic and more. It provides a sustainable cost effective alternative in these industries.

So why aren't more things made out of hemp right now? Federal prohibition of growing and processing hemp was in place in the United States from 1937 - 2018 making hemp limited to being an imported item.

Passing of the 2018 Farm Bill opened the way for hemp to once again become a valuable crop for multiple supply chains. However, processing of hemp for uses outside of CBD has only just begun. Time will tell how this amazing plant disrupts consumer goods.

What is CBD?

Cannabidiol or CBD is just one of the naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Hemp plants are defined by the USDA as having less than 0.3% THC yet are generally very high in other cannabinoids like CBD.

In the 1990s, the human endocannabinoid system was discovered. Cannabinoids in hemp affect this system in multiple ways.

Studies show CBD works with the human endocannabinoid system [ECS] to regulate multiple body functions. Cannabidiol does this without leaving the user feeling "high" like THC. To read more about studies concerning CBD, visit the links below.

Is Hemp Legal?

In short, YES! The 2018 Farm Bill descheduled hemp from the DEA controlled substance list and opened the way for hemp farming, extraction, manufacturing, and sales in the United States. Other countries including Mexico have followed suit. The USDA regulates hemp farming in the United States. However each state also has the option of adopting their own hemp plan. Check the rules in your state for more information on what is allowed. Because the FDA has not yet approved hemp derived products for human consumption, many products are limited to sales within each state and are not allowed to engage in interstate commerce.

  • Lab Reports:  Labels should contain a link to a Certificate of Analysis [often called a COA or lab report] This report should contain verification of CBD content as well as show there are not heavy metals or pesticides present in the product.
