    Hemp is known as Cannabis Sativa L. It is also useful as a source of fiber, oil and molecules. This versatility makes it a useful crop.

    Hemp has a wide variety of phytochemicals, which means that it comes from plants. Plants are natural resources, from which come climatic and economic benefits. Hemp is a sustainable resource which reduces our dependence on petrochemicals. The impacts on our environment are therefore lessened and are cleaner.

    THC can be beneficial for health, when added to CBD to produce an entourage effect, when both substances work together.

    Another option is that delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol is another choice to the delta-9 type. It has less sedating effects, with more alertness, but still helps with anxiety. It has been finding its way into even mainstream medical cannabis circles, and has been used in beverages, gummies, vapes, tinctures, and more products. Delta 8 THC\’s popularity is growing, much like CBD\’s entrance into alternative or adjuvant therapies to prescription medications.

    Also, the THC from the cannabis plant is brought out by adding heat to the compound. This is known as decarboxylation.

    Cannabis in any form is still illegal in the states of Idaho, Nebraska and South Dakota. Nebraska and South Dakota will have a proposition on the November 2020 election ballot for voters to decide on whether or not to legalize cannabis, in these states.

    Those facts are true. Some people may prefer a natural form of THC, the delta 9 strain, but Dronabinol has been used since the 1980\’s for nausea, and to stimulate appetite for those with HIV, and also for those undergoing chemotherapy. Delta 8 can help similar conditions, such as pain and nausea, without causing headaches or dizziness, as the delta 9 THC, can cause.

    Another version of manmade THC is delta 8 THC, which causes fewer headaches and less dizziness than the more potent delta 9 THC. It doesn\’t produce as strong of a psychoactive reaxtion in the brain. Delta 8 THC is harder to produce, and requires more cannabis plants, but it has a greater shelf life, making it optimal for use in place of certain prescription medications.

    Yes, THC can be beneficial for many conditions. There is another, manmade form of delta 9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is called delta 8 THC, and it is about half as potent. For some people, this can be beneficial, because it tends not to cause anxiety or paranoia, as the delta 9 cannabis can cause for some. It is becoming more recognized among knowledgeable cannabis consumers, especially among those who want a lower concentration of the THC.

    In order to increase cannabis production, scientists need to study it further. About ten days ago, on Sept. 15, 2020, the House of Representatives passed legislation that would allow the scientists to study cannabis obtained from dispensaries. These dispensaries are legal at the state level, and back in July of this year, more legislation was passed that allowed scientists to access cannabis grown by cannabis businesses, instead of cannabis grown only on government approved farms.

    Yes, the trade or brand name of the cannabis drug used to stimulate appetite in people experiencing extreme nausea is Dronabinol. This is for patients going through chemotherapy.

    Yes, that\’s true. They were willing to listen to anecdotal accounts by the ASA, but the DEA hasn\’t allowed enough growers to grow cannabis legally. The University of Mississippi is authorized to grow and study it legally, but scientists failed twice in having legislation passed to increase the number of of farms. Hopefully, more agencies will relax their stance to keep pace with the popularity of the use of the cannabis plant for medicinal use, and to allow for further growth and study of the plant, as well.

    Further growth and study of hemp have also been approved by the House of Representatives, on September 21st. This bill will extend its growth from 2014, which was then outlined more in detail in the Farm Bill of 2018, until 2021.

    Hemp oil and other oil based cannabinoids can be transformed into water soluble forms, which can then dissolve in liquids much more easily. The two types of lipid based cannabinoids are CBD isolate powder and CBD isolate liquid.

    Yes, a lot more states, and especially for New York, will have profitability from hemp. By 2025, it is expected to become a 26 billion dollar industry. This growth will be fueled by water soluble hemp, since it will become easier to dissolve the hemp in water and other liquids. The oil from the hemp seeds doesn\’t dissolve well in drinks.

    The legalization of cannabis didn\’t pass in the state of Nebraska. They will submit a new initiative for the 2022 election.

    That\’s good that it helped, and I hope it continues to being relief to her skin. Hemp has been cultivated from as far back as before 300 B.C., and was considered to be sacred and a sign of fertility in Japan. It was grown and farmed there for centuries until 1948, when General MacArthur made it illegal after World War II.
