Let's Talk Hemp Cannabinoids at the Asia International Hemp ExpoIn this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, it's Day 3 at the third annual Asia International Hemp Expo, organized by the Thai Industrial Hemp Trade Association (TITA) and we are broadcasting live. We express our gratitude to all attendees and speakers who have contributed to making this event a success.Today, we delve into the topic of hemp cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, and THC, while also touching on the innovative hemp derivatives emerging in the United States. Our guests include Eben from Maine, who has a decade of experience in the cannabis industry, and Mr. Kattanyu Kamnoi, a pharmacist from Salad Bioceutical Thailand, who is pioneering the cannabis industry in Thailand.A significant focus of our discussion revolves around the importance of lab testing for cannabinoids. Eben highlights the challenges faced in the U.S. regarding inconsistent lab results due to varying standards across different states. He emphasizes the need for standardized testing methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable results, especially for international trade.Mr. Kattanyu shares his experiences in Thailand, where the current lab testing capabilities are limited, often resulting in discrepancies in cannabinoid profiles from different labs. This inconsistency poses challenges for producers seeking to comply with regulations and accurately label their products.We explore the potential solutions to these issues, including the importance of establishing harmonized standards and utilizing reputable labs with a global presence, such as Eurofins and Columbia. The conversation also touches on the role of genetics in cannabinoid production and the emerging market for various cannabinoids beyond CBD.As we wrap up the episode, we open the floor for questions from the audience, addressing concerns about lab trustworthiness and the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure public health and safety. We conclude by inviting listeners to join us for our next session, where we will discuss the environmental benefits of hemp.Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to continuing the conversation about the future of hemp and cannabinoids!

Let's Talk Hemp Grain at the Asia International Hemp ExpoIn this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, I had the pleasure of hosting a second live session from the third annual Asia International Hemp Expo. We delved into the fascinating world of hemp grain and its myriad applications, from human food and animal feed to cosmetics and biofuels.I kicked off the discussion by highlighting the nutritional benefits of hemp seeds, which have been consumed for thousands of years and are rich in protein, amino acids, and essential fatty acids. Our guest, Joe Hickey from the United States, shared insights into the current challenges surrounding hemp in the animal feed sector, particularly the stringent regulations regarding THC levels. He emphasized the absurdity of the two parts per million (PPM) limit set by the FDA, which is not based on scientific evidence and creates significant barriers for the industry.We also welcomed Waris Salah from Thailand, who discussed the burgeoning hemp cosmetics industry in the country. She shared her experiences in developing hemp seed oil products that have already received FDA approval in Thailand, highlighting the potential for hemp in both the cosmetic and food sectors.Throughout the episode, we explored the opportunities for hemp as a superfood and the importance of building a sustainable industry. We discussed the need for collaboration among stakeholders to overcome regulatory hurdles and expand the market for hemp products.As we wrapped up, I encouraged listeners to consider the benefits of hemp and the importance of supporting this emerging industry. We concluded with a call to action for everyone involved to work together to create a thriving hemp market that can positively impact health and the environment. Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to our next episode where we will discuss hemp-derived cannabinoids!

"Empowering Indigenous Voices: Highlights from the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit"In this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, I had the pleasure of attending the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. This remarkable event, organized by Mary Jane Oatman, Rob Pero, and the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA), brought together tribal leaders, industry professionals, healthcare experts, and policymakers to discuss critical cannabis and hemp policy issues affecting indigenous communities.Throughout the summit, we engaged in three days of insightful keynotes, roundtables, and panel discussions that covered a wide range of topics, including cannabis economic development, the legal landscape of hemp derivatives, sustainable cultivation, and the role of cannabis in addressing health concerns like PTSD. A key focus was on tribal sovereignty and the need for cannabis policies that reflect the unique needs of indigenous communities.I had the opportunity to sit down with Rob Pero from ICIA, who shared his thoughts on the event's success and the importance of collaboration among diverse voices in the cannabis industry. We discussed how the summit fostered an intimate environment for meaningful conversations and emotional connections, which is often lacking in larger industry events.Mary Jane Oatman also joined me to discuss the history of the ICIA and the significance of this year's summit. She emphasized the importance of partnerships and the need for indigenous communities to have a seat at the table in the broader cannabis conversation.Additionally, I spoke with various attendees, including Eben Sumner, Mike Lamuto, Hunter Buffington, Alicia Fall from Her Many Voices and Ross Sloan, who highlighted the collaborative spirit of the event and the potential for indigenous communities to lead in the cannabis space. The discussions underscored the importance of unity and shared goals in advancing cannabis policy and creating opportunities for underserved communities.Overall, this episode captures the essence of the summit and the exciting developments in the cannabis industry as indigenous voices continue to rise and make an impact.

This week on the Hemp Podcast we bring you Part One of our coverage of the Lancaster County Hemp Circuit, a two-day, four-farm hemp event that shone a bright light on hemp in Pennsylvania and attracted attendees from all over the U.S. and a few foreign countries. On Part One of our Hemp Circuit coverage on the podcast, we hear from a handful of out-of-state attendees. We'll hear a few impressions of the county. “It's beautiful farmland,” said Larry Smart, a plant breeder and head of the hemp program at Cornell University. “I'll just say the roads here are twisty and turny. We're used to straighter roads in the Finger Lakes, but the landscape is just spectacular.” We'll hear how Pennsylvania fits into the national hemp industry landscape. Bert James, a North Carolina farmer and co-founder of hemp seed distributor KonopiUS, called Pennsylvania a “hemp playground, in the way that they have access to so many different varieties. There's a good latitude. They've got good soil.” “So there's a lot of potential here, but we're going to obviously need to get some processing online to serve this opportunity,” he said. And we'll hear why Pennsylvania might just be the perfect place for the intersection of business, innovation and opportunity. Larry Serbin, from Hemp Traders in California, is impressed with the farmers and Amish machine shops in Lancaster County. He said he is working with some folks in Pennsylvania to develop “green decorticating” techniques. “The hemp would be decorticated in the field, which would result in farmers earning a lot more money for the crop and the cost of the hemp raw materials, like the hurd and bast fiber, to be about half what they are now,” Serbin said. On this episode, we will hear from: Morris Beegle, WAFBA; Eric Singular, International Hemp; Larry Smart, Cornell University; Wendy Mosher, New West Genetics; Larry Serbin, Hemp Traders; Laura Sullivan, University of Vermont; Bert James, KonopiUS; Rusty Peterson, IND HEMP; David Suchoff, NC State; Keith Harvey, UGP Global Energy Upcoming Hemp Events: Sept. 11 Kifcure Hemp Harvest Open House https://kifcure.com/event/kifcure-hemp-harvest-open-house/ Sept. 12 Cornell University Fiber & Grain Field Day https://rchemp.com/2024-hempcrete-workshop/ Sept. 20-22 Right Coast Hemp Hempcrete Workshop https://rchemp.com/2024-hempcrete-workshop/ Thanks to our Sponsors!

On this week's podcast, we continue our coverage of the European Industrial Hemp Association (EIHA) annual conference, this year held in Prague, Czech Republic, June 5 to 7. As Lancaster Farming's friendly neighborhood hemp reporter, I was invited to be part of an American delegation to the conference, funded in part by a grant from the USDA Market Access Program to build overseas markets for hemp as a commodity crop. Last week, I shared a slew of interviews with Europeans in attendance at the conference. This week, I am sharing my interviews with American business leaders, entrepreneurs, policy wonks and processors — plus a handful of Canadians and one Australian who attended the event in Prague earlier this month. Zhaohui Wu is a professor of supply chain management at Oregon State University in Corvallis, where he is an affiliate faculty member of OSU's Global Hemp Innovation Center. He said he was eager to learn from the Europeans, because he said they are further along in developing the industrial applications and supply chains. “For me, this is the first time to come to the EIHA conference and to learn from European folks on how things are done, the best practices, and also to find opportunity to collaborate,” Wu said. Tommy Copeland was part of the American delegation, representing Kentucky-based HempWood, a flooring manufacturer that uses hemp instead of hardwood. Copeland said many attendees were not familiar with HempWood, and he enjoyed watching people's reaction to it. “You get to see the wow factor that they have,” he said. “Their mind is blown that you can do this from hemp.” Copeland described to attendees the HempWood process from whole stalk, pressed with soy-based adhesives with no VOC off-gassing. “It's a clean building material, it's eco-friendly to use, and I think that fits with the European mindset of building in a lot of ways,” he said. Tim McCarthy is a business owner from North Carolina where he runs United Natural Hemp Extracts, USA. “I am currently the chair of the policy committee for the NIHC, so I'm here on their behalf and the USDA trying to promote hemp from the United States to around the world,” he said. Roger Gussiaas is oilseed producer at Healthy Oil Seeds in Carrington, North Dakota, where he produces and processes hemp and flax grain for oil and protein. “We process 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” he said. “We're expanding our business. In the next couple months, we (will) be doubling our production.” Currently exporting to over 25 countries, Gussiaas is always looking for opportunity. “This trip here,” he said, “it's just there's a lot of opportunity. There's always a lot of opportunity in any new country you're in.” He said the key to finding markets is simple for him: “Always produce good quality and you'll have markets.” Keenan Stone, vice chair of the Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance and an owner of Uni Seeds in Ontario, was excited to attend the conference. She enjoyed connecting with people in person, a welcome change from online interactions. She said she was impressed with the research and innovation happening in Europe and, like Gussiaas, was open to opportunity. “There have definitely been some good business prospects,” she said. “There seems to be a lot of interest in trying out new varieties and things like that. Our business is seed supply, so definitely some good interest from Europe there.” Morris Beegle, founder of the annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Colorado, worked with EIHA to plan and execute the event in Prague. On the final day of the conference, Beegle told me he was happy with the overall energy, participation and programming. “It was really good last year, but I think definitely a step up this year, he said. “Great attendance. The conference has been packed the whole time. Networking has been really good. Lots of folks having great conversations. So I mean, overall I'm just very pleased with the way everything's turned out.” 5:49 Robin Destiche, KonopiUS, Pure Shenandoah 21.14 Roger Gussiaas, Healthy Oil Seeds25:37 Morris Beegle, WAFBA29:58 Alicia Fall, Her Many Voices34.55 Zhaohui Wu, Oregon State University 39:24 Tommy Copeland, HempWood42:01 Trey Riddle, IND HEMP; Joe Hickey, Halcyon Technology Holdings; Gregg Gnecco IND HEMP 44:01 Tim McCarthy, Universal Hemp Extracts, NIHC55:09 Hunter Buffington, APS, ASTM 58:10 Beau Whitney, Whitney Economics1:00:30 Peter Dushop, Forever Green1:05:35 Ted Haney, Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance1:14:25 Keenan Stone, CHTA, UniSeeds1:16:14 Ghyslain Bouchard, Askiy, Eko-Terre1:18:19 Sherri Smith-Hoyer, Australian Hemp Council1:24:24 Cait Curley 1:25:27 Morris Beegle Thanks to Our Sponsors!

On this week's hemp podcast we discuss a recent amendment to the House draft of the 2024 Farm Bill known as the Miller Amendment, which was introduced by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill. The amendment effectively bans all hemp products with any amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. The 2018 Farm Bill defined hemp as any cannabis with less than 0.3% THC. But because of vague guidance from the Drug Enforcement Administration and Food and Drug Administration, a cottage market has developed for intoxicating products from otherwise legal hemp, such as delta-8. In March, 21 attorneys general from around the country signed a statement imploring Congress to close this perceived loophole, saying these unregulated, intoxicating products were packaged and marketed to children. In a statement on her website, Miller said delta-8 products were being sold in packaging that looks like candy. “We must stop teenagers and children from being exposed to addictive and harmful drugs,” Miller said. Miller is from a farming background and represents a rural district in southern Illinois. Many in the hemp industry think this amendment will have unintended consequences that could shut down the industry and destroy the livelihoods of people who are making legal and safe hemp products. On the show this week, Lancaster Farming talks to two lawyers serving the hemp industry to hear their perspectives. Justin Swanson, a cannabis lawyer from Bose McKinney & Evans in Indiana and the president of the Midwest Hemp Council, says the amendment is bad for the overall industry, citing harm to fiber and grain sectors and genetics. “In my opinion, it eliminates the genetic seed stock that farmers have built, over the last six years, under the broad definition of the '18 Farm Bill,” he said. Courtney Moran of Agricultural Hemp Solutions is legislative counsel to the National Hemp Association. Moran believes this amendment will have less of an effect on the fiber and grain sector, but still finds the new language troubling for the overall industry. Moran doesn't see it as an “industry-killing” amendment, as it's been presented in online headlines. “I would not uses those words,” she said. “It is a major shift from the policies and language that we've seen in both the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills,” and if it moves forward it will have major consequences. But she reminds listeners that this is only the House draft and there are many more procedural hoops the Farm Bill must go through before being signed into law. Both lawyers suggest that the amendment has Big Marijuana's fingers all over it. The legally murky market for delta-8 and other hemp-derived intoxicants is cutting into the marijuana industry's profits. Also on this episode, we check in with Morris Beegle, founder of the NoCo hemp Expo in Colorado, who tells us more about the June 5-7 European Industrial Hemp Conference and Expo in the Czech Republic.

Attorney David Sergi speaks to us this week about regulation & policy issues in Washington, Ken Paxton and the legal battle for cities to decriminalize low level cannabis possession, and several cases where he is suing counties like Garza county who arestill arresting store owners for selling legal products in Texas. (Civil Right Violation lawsuit).Morris Beegle the host of the Northern Colorado Hemp Expo also talks about the upcoming 10th Anniversary event .10th NoCo Hemp Expo: A Decade of Innovation, Advocacy, and Hemp SolutionsESTES PARK, COLORADO — March 11, 2024 — The NoCo Hemp Expo, the largest hemp-centric event in the world, is gearing up for its milestone 10th annual edition, set to take place from April 11th to April 13th, 2024, at the scenic Estes Park in Colorado. Dankk Edibles CEO John Siegler comes on the show to talk about his hemp-derived THCA within his infused sugar packets. Offering a "traditional" cannabis effects that you're use to while remaining federally legal. His sugar is third-party lab tested with a THC content of less than 0.3% per sugar packet.
This week's podcast guest Mattie Mead competed in a 2013 pitch competition at Hobart College in Geneva, New York. He had just shared his vision for a company that made building materials out of hemp. “One of the judges for the contest said, ‘So let me get this straight, you're looking to build houses out of a Schedule 1 substance?' “And I said, well, ‘Yes.' “Today it's a Schedule 1 substance, but in five or so years it's going to be federally legal,” Mead said. “And I want to be on the forefront of what I believe to be an emerging industry.” Indeed, industrial hemp was legalized with the 2018 Farm Bill and today Mead is co-founder and CEO of Hempitecture, a building materials manufacturing company in Idaho. “We're focused on what we believe are the most truly sustainable building materials on the planet,” Mead said. “And as you could probably guess by our name, our not-so-secret ingredient is hemp fiber.” Hempitecture makes several construction materials from hemp, including HempWool thermal insulation, a plant-based alternative to fiberglass insulation. Another product line is FiberPad, a hemp-fiber-based, non-toxic carpet underlayment. Hempitecture brought a state-of-the-art manufacturing center online in early 2023 in Jerome, Idaho. The company sources hemp fibers from Montana and Alberta, but recently a processor in Idaho — Whitefield Global — has come into operation, providing Hempitecture with fibers produced by farmers in Idaho. “Seeing this kind of movement towards industrial hemp cultivation in the Rocky Mountain West — and seeing it move closer and closer to our manufacturing plant — is really encouraging,” Mead said. He also talks about his company's latest round of fundraising. “We opened up our second round to the public on March 18. And within the first day of going public, we've put $740,000 of reservations in this investment round,” he said. He also speaks about expanding Hempitecture by building a second manufacturing facility in upstate New York. “As we look towards expansion on the East Coast, we want to use our Idaho facility as a blueprint and replicate that blueprint nationally,” Mead said. Also on this podcast episode, we hear from Morris Beegle, founder of the NoCo Hemp Expo taking place in Colorado in April.

The Full Contact Cannabis gang - Mark Stepp and Harold Jarboe aka The Old Hemp Farmer speaker with Morris Beegle about the good, the bad and the ugly of Cannabis Expos, Hemp activism and how Cannabis is still an Industry that still needs to mature.
On this week's show, we talk with Morris Beegle, founder of the Noco Hemp Expo, the largest industrial hemp convention in North America. The tenth annual expo will be held April 11-13 in Estes Park, Colorado. “It's really a beautiful mountain resort location where we can get 2,000-3,000 people up there and basically take over the town,” Beegle said. He expects it to be a good meet-up, full of constructive conversations on how to shape the industry, develop supply chains, influence regulation and do business. The Noco Expo has become an important part of the development of the hemp industry domestically and internationally. Different sectors of the industry have different priorities, and Noco provides the chance industry players “try to figure out our internal issues and how do we move this industry forward and try to position ourselves politically and harmonize our message,” he said. “And also harmonize ourselves with what's going on in Europe and Asia,” he added. Beegle just returned from a whirlwind trip, first attending the Asia International Hemp Expo in Bangkok, Thailand, followed by a cannabis convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, called MJBizCon. On this week's episode, he shares his experiences from both conventions as well as his thoughts on the state of the hemp industry as 2023 winds down, and where the industry is headed in 2024. Looking into his crystal ball, he sees “more support for the industrial hemp side of things through government grants, through the USDA. I think that there is a support mechanism there that will be more beneficial than it has been in the past.” He said his crystal ball is a bit foggy due to the uncertainty around the 2024 presidential election and the sticky political mess we call Congress. “I think that we're going to be in for quite a year next year,” he said, “so everybody better hold tight and stay focused and try to stay as positive as possible.” Buy Tickets for the 10th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Estes park, Co, April 11-13 https://www.nocohempexpo.com/ Apply to become a speaker or presenter at Noco https://letstalkhemp.net/ News Nuggets New York Lawmakers Send Governor Bill To Allow Hemp Seeds In Food For Pets, Horses And Llamas https://www.marijuanamoment.net/new-york-lawmakers-send-governor-bill-to-allow-hemp-seeds-in-food-for-pets-horses-and-llamas/ U.S. commodities platform that traded industrial hemp shuts down as investor pulls back https://hemptoday.net/u-s-commodities-platform-that-traded-industrial-hemp-shuts-down Lower Sioux in Minnesota need homes — so they are building them from hemp https://grist.org/indigenous/hempcrete-lower-sioux-housing/ Rich Folks Import This Building Material.

Last week, the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research held a hearing to examine the USDA Hemp Production Program. The subcommittee heard from a panel of producers, researchers, tribal members, and state ag commissioners that gave an overview of the hemp industry and offered insight toward the 2023 Farm Bill. Noting the absence of representatives from USDA and FDA, ranking member Jim Baird from Indiana said, “I do believe it is a missed opportunity that we don't hear from the federal agencies tasked with implementing provisions on hemp today.” On this week's podcast, we will listen to highlights from the hearing, including testimony from Colorado Ag Commissioner Kate Greenberg, who offers five recommendations for how Congress can provide support to federal agencies to allow for greater flexibility and improve state-run hemp programs. First on her list is removal of DEA requirements for testing labs. “Our state-of-the-art laboratory began the process of obtaining DEA certification in 2019. However, as of this hearing we still await their approval,” Greenberg said. All panel experts expressed the need for clarification from the FDA concerning the regulation and use of CBD. Also on this week's show, we check in with Lancaster County hemp farmer and cover crop coach Steve Groff, who this week used a sickle bar mower to cut 5 acres of hemp on his farm in Holtwood, Pennsylvania. Groff's hemp was direct-seeded in 15-inch rows, roughly 50 pounds per acre, into a cover crop of black oats and hairy vetch on May 18. The crop reached a height of 12 feet in 75 days and had not started to flower before being cut. He will rake the cut hemp into narrow swaths and turn it a few times, allowing the stalks to ret before baling with a New Holland wet baler. Lancaster Farming also talks to Morris Beegle, organizer of the fourth annual Southern Hemp Expo, taking place in Nashville Aug. 18-20.

In addition, a total of 36 states, District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands have approved comprehensive, publicly available medical marijuana/cannabis programs. Texans are hoping that this current 87 Legislature at the very least expands on its current medical marijuana.

Morris also shares the role cannabis plays in his daily life.
Morris discusses his career path from entertainment to hemp, the NoCo Hemp Expo, and the evolution and future of the hemp industry and its uses.
Two of the biggest contributors to climate change are industrial farming and construction. Hemp, on the other hand, is eco-friendly and can be used to build cheap non-toxic fireproof buildings all while literally sucking more carbon out of the air than it's slower growing relative, the tree. Of course hemp only became fully legal to cultivate two years ago with the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill. And between concerns caused by the stigma of cannabis, and costly but necessary regulatory hurdles, like safety testing, it means that we still have some ways to go before industrial hemp becomes fully mainstream, so to speak. Jesse Betend joins Morris Beegle, founder of WAFBA or We Are For Better Alternatives, which is a group of companies and organizations dedicated to advocating for, well, it's right there in the name. Morris's interest personally in hemp was sparked back when he was working in the music industry when he noticed just how much waste was being generated. From there, Morris began a journey that started with him exploring the possibility of creating hemp-based band merch and ended with him becoming a full-blown advocate.

ToddCast Vol. XVIII: You say you want a revolution? Hemp is the answer—that’s right, it can pave the way to better alternatives than many of the problems staring us in the face as industrial, civilized humans – the plastic problem, the climate crisis, the pollution of our waterways, the unsustainable way we have organized our societies. Natural Products Insider senior editor Todd Runestad catches up the hemp majordomo promoter Morris Beegle, co-founder and president of WAFBA—short for We Are For Better Alternatives. Listen in as they dig into: How it’s time for people engaged in the hemp CBD business to go pro—or go home and stop gumming up the architecture of this fledgling industry. The key to the realm of hemp dominance is when “whole plant utilization” comes to fruition—using not just the flower for CBD but the stems, stalks and seeds for biomaterials, biofuels, bioplastics, animal feed and healthy human nutrition. The one entity that can save us from being “f@(#*d” by climate change and lead the way (with hemp, of course) on a more sustainable course

This episode takes a look at how three amazing hemp leaders bring the industry together in an effort to help combat some of the issues resulting from pandemic pandemonium. Hemp for Our Future was the brain-child of Courtney Moran and Shawn Hauser, who brought in Annie Rouse and Friends of Hemp to organize and execute an ongoing campaign to gather supplies and help utilize hemp products to help America fight the war on COVID. From delivering cannabinoids to front line healthcare workers in New England to the donation of hundreds of clothes from companies like Colorado Hemp Company, this campaign has dozens of hemp companies supporting it on a nationwide scale. Go to Hemp For Our Future to see the video, learn how you can donate and support this worthwhile cause. Rick speaks with Kyla DuMont, the Vermont transplant to Los Angeles, that finds her path taking her home as a result of the COVID economic relocation program - essentially leaving L.A. for Vermont to maintain employment consulting for companies in the cannabis space focusing in hemp. She describes the current state of the State of California, how she came up with the idea of MediMaple, combining cannabinoids with maple syrup, and how many folks didn’t realize maple came from a tree! We discuss that as one of her passions, bringing together healthy, high-grade Vermont syrup with healthy cannabinoids -- and trying to expand to CBG so law enforcement and healthcare workers can use it for endocannabinoid issues. "And I think for a long time to come there will be opportunities for hemp to be the most appropriate suitable material for a number of reasons." - Shawn Hauser.

In this episode we discuss the beginning of the Hemp Industries Association, in 1994 in Arizona. Before the HIA was established, there was the True Hemp Industry Alliance (THIA), first established in 1992, who called the meeting where HIA name was created. THIA created a certification program called the True Hemp seal certification - to test and confirm products being labelled as hemp were 100% hemp, and preventing unscrupulous players from mislabeling products. This group pooled together funds to import millions of tons of hemp textiles into the USA. Like any new movement there were competing groups and trying to gather everyone on one platform was not easy. Chris discusses some of the issues in the “beginning” of hemp’s reformation - the difficulty confirming that imported Chinese hemp was truly hemp and not mixed with cotton or other fibers. It wasn’t without obstacles as competing certifications were created, debate raged on using the hemp plant leaf versus those that didn’t want the stigma attached, and police threatened arrest for serving hemp seeds at festivals. For the past 3 decades, Chris has fought to raise awareness of hemp and it’s benefits. His stories provide insight into where the industry started and some of the battles fought along the way. “We wanted to see hemp like Cotton Inc and we wanted to see hemp like the linen council, so we used those as models. This thing was bigger than all of us, we’re like hemp’s gonna save the world!” - Chris Boucher Learn more about this episode of Lets Talk Hemp with Morris Beegle and Rick Trojan at www.letstalkhemp.com/35
