HEMP INC NOT GOING AWAY. REVS TO STAY.
Industries don't come for free.
Sorry Hemp Inc growth and strategy isn't for everyone.
Booking MILLIONS. Overhead will drop. It always does.
Great excuses, but Hemp still in expansion mode, building an empire.
Projected billion dollar industry, and Hemp booking millions. Soon eating more pie.
Might not be easy for some to watch, Hemp Inc's reach getting bigger and bigger, already coast to coast. International exporting is on deck. Statewide is the hors d'oeuvres.

Hemp, marijuana fight may doom NC Farm Act
Posted 1:17 p.m. today
Updated 1:37 p.m. today
By Travis Fain, WRAL statehouse reporter
RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's annual Farm Act is on the rocks at the legislature as two of the state's most influential policymakers on farming joust over hemp.
Senate Bill 315 is wide-ranging, with sections affecting hog farms, skeet shooting, sweet potatoes and more. But it's the provisions on hemp that threaten to derail the entire measure as lawmakers struggle to balance the interests of a growing industry with concerns from law enforcement that the bill would essentially legalize marijuana.
Sen. Brent Jackson, R-Sampson, and Rep. Jimmy Dixon, R-Duplin, who have shepherded agriculture legislation through the legislature together for years, couldn't even agree Thursday on what the latest version of the bill would do, and both sides have refused to back the other's preferred language on smokable hemp.
Smokable hemp has CBD, which many people believe has a range of medicinal qualities, but only miniscule amounts of THC, which produces marijuana's characteristic high. The problem is that smokable hemp looks and smells like marijuana, and police chiefs, sheriffs and prosecutors around the state have said that, if the legislature keeps smokable hemp legal, marijuana might as well be legal as well.
Law enforcement isn't just worried about it being harder to enforce marijuana laws but about losing probable cause for searches based on the smell of marijuana smoke, or when a drug dog keys in on a vehicle.
Smokable hemp became legal when the federal government loosened its restrictions in an effort to boost the wider hemp industry, which creates a range of products, including rope, clothes, paper, food and CBD oil.
This year's Farm Act is an attempt to regulate and boost the hemp industry that sprouted in North Carolina as a result. The bill once banned the plant's smokable flowers as of December 2019, but that was pushed back in the Senate to December 2020 to give the industry and law enforcement time to find a solution, and potentially time for a reliable field test to emerge that can tell the difference between hemp buds and marijuana.
That delay won't fly for Dixon, and the bill pending now in the House would define smokable hemp as marijuana, subject to the same legal penalties for possession. Jackson said Thursday that he's fully against this change, which would keep farmers from selling one of the most profitable parts of the hemp plant – at least in North Carolina.
"You might as well just throw up a flag to the United States and to the world that North Carolina does not welcome hemp farmers," Jackson said.
Jackson and Dixon also sparred in a morning committee meeting over what the change would mean for CBD extracts, which have become widely available as oils and lotions used for various ailments.
"If you approve this ... you're not only banning smokable hemp, you're banning CBD oil as well," Jackson said.
"That is absolutely, irrevocably, provably false," Dixon replied.
A legislative attorney weighed in, but didn't fully lay the issue to rest. He said the new bill might ban cartridges of inhaled CBD oil, but "I'm not sure about the tinctures and creams."
The House Finance committee adjourned soon after without taking a vote to move the bill forward. Dixon tried, when the full House came into session later Thursday morning, to have the bill removed from Finance and put back into House Agriculture, which he chairs.
He set aside that effort to move the bill after House Speaker Tim Moore delayed a decision on the matter and Rep. Julia Howard, R-Davie, chairwoman of House Finance, promised her committee would meet again soon.
Jackson said he'd rather drop the Farm Act's hemp provisions than pass Dixon's version, which would leave the crop unregulated in North Carolina outside of a pilot project put into law several years back. If that happens, or if the entire bill fails, smokable hemp would remain legal, a reality that gives Jackson's side leverage in the fight.
"Doing nothing is not an option," Dixon said Thursday.
The bill has other controversial sections, including a change in the state open records act meant to protect records filed with soil and water conservation district offices.
Jackson has said repeatedly that he simply wants to bring state regulations in line with federal rules that already exempt the information from public release, but concerns persist that the change will be used to shield nuisance complaints against hog farms from public view.
Neighbors have filed a number of successful lawsuits against hog farms in recent years, with verdicts against industry giant Smithfield Foods in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The legislature has changed state law repeatedly in an effort to rein in these sorts of suits.
There was also language in the bill that to add shooting sports, such as skeet shooting, to the state's definition of agritourism, freeing farms to go into that line of business without worrying about local zoning laws.
That section got a key amendment in House Finance on Thursday that would leave these operations subject to local zoning decisions, potentially allowing neighbors concerned about noise to block shooting sport facilities from farms near their homes.

CVS, Walgreens To Lead $23 Billion CBD Market By 2023
Jul 11, 2019, 08:00am
Bruce Japsen Senior Contributor
Retail chains led by CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance are expected to dominate the emerging multi-billion-dollar U.S. market of CBD, the compound derived from cannabis, according to a new report.
CBD is gaining in popularity among consumers with the legal CBD market projected to surpass $23 billion in annual U.S. sales by 2023, an analysis by market research firm Brightfield Group shows. This year, such sales are projected to be $5 billion - a sevenfold increase over 2018, Brightfield Group said.
“The CBD market has been growing rapidly, but we will see unprecedented growth in 2019,” said Brightfield managing director Bethany Gomez in a statement accompanying the firm’s 75-page report. “The bulk of this growth is coming from large retailers like CVS, Walgreens, and Kroger entering the market and providing that availability to consumers.”
Retailers including CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid have yet to disclose specific sales in their most recent earnings reports, but have said the pilot markets where they have begun sales of CBD products are doing well.
“During the first quarter, we began piloting the sale of CBD creams, lotions and lip balms at Rite Aid stores in Oregon and Washington to better meet the needs and preferences of our customers in those communities,” Rite Aid chief operating officer Bryan Everett told analysts last month on the company’s fiscal first quarter earnings call. “Response from customers has been positive so far.”
It’s unclear how soon the big retailers will expand such CBD sales, which are largely limited to markets where states have legalized sales of hemp-derived products and begun to establish regulations for such sales. Walgreens, for example, is offering “select CBD product” in nearly 1,500 Walgreens stores in Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vermont. And CVS is selling hemp-derived CBD products in select stores in seven states: California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and Tennessee.
"We’re entering slowly into this new category, and continue to actively monitor the regulatory landscape for CBD products and will expand product availability as appropriate and in compliance with applicable laws," CVS spokesman Joseph Goode said. "The hemp-derived CBD products we are selling . . . include topical products such as creams, sprays, roll-ons, lotions and salves. We are not selling any CBD-containing supplements or food additives."
Brightfield projects retail chains to control 54%, or $16.2 billion, of a $23.7 billion market legal U.S. CBD market in 2023, according to its five-year analysis of CBD distribution channels. “Though they entered the market only this year, mass retail chains will eclipse all other channels in 2019, hosting 57% of sales this year,” Brightfield said in a statement accompanying the report.

USA will surpass Canada in hemp production THIS YEAR.
It's over for Canada. Their number one customer now makes their own hemp thanks to the farm bill. Anyone with eyes and ears and attention to current cannabis reform knows this.
Dimes on the way
Most likely converting kenaf storage or possibly former extractor area.
Not sensible to move the machines, unless it's a quick and inexpensive forklift maneuver.
Of course, all this SPECULATION could have EASILY been avoided with a quick and simple reach to company reps, either the plant itself of IR.
Requires an email address or phone number, which perhaps some don't have.
Most likely the kenaf storage, which should have opened up a little with more orders shipped.
Either way...
Next Meeting:
Friday, July 12, 2019

$HEMP STILL PRODUCING MILLIONS IN SALES.
AND WILL BE CURRENT REPORTING WITH PAY-TO-PLAY OTC MARKETS ONCE SEC JOKER COMPLAINT IS SQUASHED.
COMPANY REPORTS TO PUBLIC ONLINE AT HEMPINC.COM, JUST LIKE OTHER COMPANIES MAKING FINANCIAL INFO AVAILABLE ON THEIR OWN SITES.
DILUTION IS APART OF IT - NON ISSUE.
CEO COMMENTS:
CIVIL case opened June 2016. It's July 2019...
and still awaiting FACTUAL MATTER aka EVIDENCE presented on behalf of plaintiff to support basis of original complaint. NOT an open and shut case. SEC still twiddling everyone's thumbs as case crawls to a stuporous jury, wasting everyone's time and money on a weak, bogus tip my disgruntled whistleblower.
It's baked in to the price.
Carry on...
We take a breather and leave meat on the bone for the next few days/weeks. IMO this could move to 5 before harvest. Past 5 if harvest is good. Even higher when numbers come out.
BUCKLE UP!
GO HEMP!

HARVEST SEASONS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
This could be the ground floor folks. Shorts hope it isn't, but it very well could be.
The FIRST harvest under the newly revised FARM BILL signed by Trump in the finals days of 2018 will be going into FULL EFFECT.
COAST TO COAST, hemp will be growing in over half the nation's states.
Last year, almost 80,000 acres harvest.
This year.... WWWWWWWWWHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAA! Get ready. Two states alone (Oregon and Kentucky) are slated to grow nearly 100,000 acres!!!!
THAT'S RIGHT - NOT A TYPO - 100,000 ACRES!!!!
Throw in the other 35+ states growing hemp, like Colorado, Montana, Pennsylvania, and new states like Texas, Florida, and Kansas, US hemp could VERY LIKELY become the #2 country in hemp production ON THE PLANET, behind only one - CHINA.
Harvest is only weeks away...
Next Hemp U is scheduled for Sept 5th...
With 24 MORE greenhouses and now a state-of-the-art drying machine...

Farmers Meet with Lawmakers About "Farm Act" and the Inclusion of Hemp
By Spectrum News Staff Raleigh
PUBLISHED 10:30 AM ET Jul. 10, 2019
NORTH CAROLINA -- Hemp Farmers are gathering at the State Capitol Wednesday.
-Hemp farmers are meeting at the State Capitol Wednesday to talk to lawmakers about the Farm Act.
-Supporters say the proposal could make North Carolina a national leader in hemp production.
-On the opposing side, there is a push to ban hemp due to concern about how officers could prove the difference between hemp and marijuana.
They're meeting with lawmakers to talk about the Farm Act and how hemp is being included.
Farmers in support of bolstering hemp production will talk to lawmakers today about the potential to generate hundreds of millions of dollars at a time when many farms are struggling to stay afloat.
Some state lawmakers are throwing their support behind those farmers and the "Farm Act" to further develop North Carolina's fast growing hemp industry.
Supporters say the proposal could make North Carolina a national leader in hemp production.
There's meanwhile a push that would ban smokeable hemp and mounting concern about how law enforcment officers could prove the difference between hemp and marijuana, especially with state's strict possession laws.

Nice pop in progress!
Must be lots of news in the works, starting with $10M projections.
EXCEPT CEO ALREADY COMMENTED
We can see shares conversions in the 10Q and 10K's. If CEO thought that the conversions were the result of the sharp decrease in share price, he would have stated so. Otherwise he would have known the conversions were the cause, and provided false or misleading information to the public, a VERY daring thing to attempt while SEC has eyes all over insiders.
Why would he say "shorting"?
Seems to me the ones providing the misleading and false info are the ones behind the naked shorting. Like the Jedi mind tricks, and such. Surely they wouldn't want their scheme to end, right? Stay behind the curtains, yada yada...
Names and numbers. Counter suit awaits....
HOW ABOUT A FACT CHECK, SHALL WE?
Hemp growing in the desert - CHECK
(Some) felons in hemp - CHECK
HEMP (like other pennies) can and are shorted - CHECK
HEMP actually DOES have something to do with hemp - CHECK
Crop harvest success for multiple years - CHECK
Third party news coverage like CBS, NBC, ABC, and the other MAJORS - CHECK
HEMP with REVENUES - CHECK
Man, where were all these WRONG CALLS coming from? Kinda sounds like Alan Brochstein's ghost still lingers. Probably changed identities, can't show face in public after the last TOTALLY WRONG call prior to 2014.
FACTS, YOU SAY?
FACT: Quarter over quarter revenue generation for at least 8 QUARTERS TRIALING
FACT: HEMP EXPANSION, in three states, bi-coastal, and not slowing.
FACT: WORLDWIDE experience and recognition.
FACT: CVS, WALGREENS, RITE AID, WHOLEFOODS, KROGER, just the late-stage early adopters. More to follow. Ben and Jerry's, Coca-Cola, Lego, General Motors, Levi's, the list does not end, but I cannot type to infinity.
FACT: HEMP INC helping local and regional farmers with EXPERIENCED farmers and industry EXPERTS, some carrying PhD's in their respective fields, adding to recognition and credibility to company and leadership.
FACT: TRUCKLOADS. Truckloads, truckloads, and more truckloads. Ongoing and NEVER stopping.
Felon? For what? IMPORTING CANNABIS TO THE AMOUNT OF "WELL OVER A BILLION DOLLARS"?
Guess what... it's about to happen all over again, and this time, IT'S LEGAL. Guess what... FELONS IN HEMP. Not just any felon, but the KING OF (LEGAL) CANNABIS.

Might be hearing it differently elsewhere... like how HEMP can't be shorted, because it has been confirmed, confirmed again, and reconfirmed that HEMP and other pennies can and ARE being shorted all the time.
The Jedi tricks almost as good as Capital Hill.
But HEMP INC already making millions... and MILLIONS MORE to come.

Arizona Police Board Clears Cops to Use CBD Products
STEVEN HSIEH | JULY 8, 2019
The rise of CBD products has sparked a new question in law enforcement circles:
How should police departments treat aspiring cops who admit to using or test positive for CBD (cannabidiol), the active ingredient in cannabis is known for its soothing qualities?
CBD, unlike THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), is not psychoactive. Read: It does not get you high.
Nevertheless, the board that regulates police certifications in Arizona has historically regarded the use of over-the-counter CBD products — such as balms for aches and pains — the same as pot you'd find in a medical marijuana dispensary.
Until last month.
On June 19, the Arizona Peace Officer Standards and Training Board (AZPOST) issued a statement clarifying that it "does not view the use or possession of over-the-counter products containing CBD as constituting the illegal use or possession of marijuana, a dangerous drug, or a narcotic drug."
Matt Giordino, the executive director of AZPOST, said CBD has been widely discussed since he started his job in 2018. In a memo explaining the policy directive, Giordino said would-be officers using CBD products aren't trying to get blitzed.
"Police agencies have seen an increase in the number of applicants that have disclosed the use of products containing CBD during their backgrounds," he said. "What we are finding is someone who might rub a product containing CBD oil on their elbow or knee before going out for a run."
CBD products containing more than .3 percent THC that were purchased at a dispensary would not fall under the exemption. AZ POST will continue to prohibit medical marijuana products above that threshold.
It's the same amount of THC allowable under a 2018 Farm Bill signed by President Donald Trump, which effectively legalized hemp production and led to the proliferation of over-the-counter CBD products, from gummies to lotion to dog treats.
In an email, Giordano said his office could not locate any cases in which a cop was denied certification for CBD use.
Haziness over CBD has also raised questions on the other side of law enforcement in Arizona. In October, Phoenix New Times published a report revealing that the Yavapai County Attorney's Office charged two people with marijuana possession in 2017 for having CBD oil.
One of those charged, Robert Stapleton, tried to explain to the Prescott Valley officer who pulled him over how the CBD vape pen in his car was different than a product containing a higher concentration of THC.
The officer phoned a deputy attorney and asked how he should handle the case.
"Treat the CBD as marijuana instead of a narcotic," the prosecutor told the cop.

FDA PROVIDES UPDATE ON CBD POSITION
By Danny Reed -July 8, 2019
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has provided an update regarding its stance on hemp and CBD. Although hemp containing less than 0.3 percent THC has been removed from the Drug Enforcement Agency’s list of controlled substances, the FDA is still expressing a bit of skepticism when it comes to CBD.
Interest in CBD has been growing rapidly and many seem to be under the impression that its production is legal. Officially, GW Pharma’s Epidiolex, a medication designed to treat seizure disorders, is the only cannabinoid-based treatment approved by the FDA.
“Other than one prescription drug product to treat rare, severe forms of epilepsy, the FDA has not approved any other CBD products, and there is very limited available information about CBD, including about its effects on the body,” the agency said on its consumer website.
The FDA is specifically expressing concern when it comes to CBD infused edibles and beverages. In fact, some CBD producers have received warning letters from the agency even after passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 (farm bill), which legalized industrial hemp.
Another concern cited by the agency relates to possible links between CBD use and liver damage. In a recent study, high doses of CBD were found to cause damage to the liver in lab mice.
“The FDA is working to learn more about the safety of CBD and CBD products,” the agency said. “More specifically: The effects CBD could cause in the body, such as toxicity to the liver, when someone ingests CBD regularly over a long period of time…”
Without clinical trials to definitively prove CBD’s benefits and risks, there have been cases where certain producers and retailers have made unsubstantiated claims about the cannabinoid’s medicinal potential. The FDA is concerned with the impact these claims can have on public health.
“Misleading and false claims associated with CBD products may lead consumers to put off getting important medical care, such as proper diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care,” the FDA continued.
The FDA held a recent hearing on hemp and CBD to gather information and eventually finalize regulations. The agency is still seeking input through a public docket. The docket will remain open until July 16.

"Hempathon" contest planned for Golden Valley
TERRI HARBER, The Daily News
7/8/19
BULLHEAD CITY — After decades, hemp no longer is illegal to grow. Licenses are being issued to farmers in Arizona interested in producing the multi-use crop.
Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc., said he wants to see part of Golden Valley become a productive agriculture operation focusing on hemp. It’s supposed to be a place that provides those who work the land an opportunity to benefit financially and better their lives.
“What we didn’t do in the ’60s, we’ll do in our 60s,” Perlowin said about the land. Portions will be used to benefit segments of the population. Some also will be devoted to helping Keepers of the Wild.
He created a contest on 300 acres of land devoted to growing hemp to produce products made with cannabidol (CBD). The contest, expected to last about six months, has been named the “Great American Hempathon.”
“This is an opportunity for those who are directly involved or would like to be involved in the hemp industry to get seen, be heard and get started,” according to Perlowin.
Water pipes will provide plenty of water for the plants. RV sites are being prepared so people can stay on the land during the grow.
And “our live streaming video cameras will allow the world to watch the ‘The Great American Hempathon,’ in real time,” according to a news release about the event.
Entrants are asked to pay $10,000 to enter. People who demonstrate outstanding products and processes will receive prize money from a $100,000 purse.
The revenue split will be 60% to the grower and 40% to Hemp, Inc.
Each grower gives a dedication to a veteran or veterans group as a way of showing gratitude for veterans’ service to the country.
Each team should have a master grower “with the knowledge and experience to grow CBD-quality hemp cannabis” and be responsible for installing the irrigation systems, preparing the soil, and maintaining their five-acre contest site.
There will be weekly seminars to help the teams learn about best practices.
Perlowin noted that farmers will grow hemp during Hempathon that is much different from the plants that grew wild in some parts of the country decades ago.
Growing and cultivating hemp first was criminalized in the late 1930s, but the U.S. government later encouraged its growing during World War II due to shortages of other fibers. Hemp ultimately was banned once it was added to the list of Schedule I drugs — along with other forms of cannabis — as a result of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970.
The federal government delisted hemp as a Schedule I drug through the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018.
Arizona legalized hemp in May for cultivation of industrial hemp for experimental purposes.
Perlowin said that, overall, Arizona state licensing is slower than originally anticipated. The start date for Hempathon will be announced once the location is fully licensed.
Hemp grown for today’s CBD products isn’t as easy to bring to harvest “as corn or rye,” he said. “It’s a very complex plant to grow.”
And once harvested, indoor space is needed to prepare the buds for oil extraction. That oil will be used for such products as the many pain relievers now sold that have CBD as the active ingredient.
Hemp and marijuana plants are closely related but far from identical. Hemp has virtually no tetrahydrocannabinol, which is the active ingredient in marijuana. It does produce more CBD than marijuana, however.
Most people who can farm hemp obtained their experience by growing marijuana, Perlowin explained.
The Hempathon effort includes Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona Inc. The Hempathon grow site is within that group’s 500-acre Eco-Village.
Veterans Village Kins Community is going to provide veterans with 2.5 acres of property. These kin domains are based on a book series, “The Ringing Cedars of Russia,” by Vladimir Megre.
Anastasianism, a religious movement that began in Russia during the 1990s, sprang from Megre’s writings.
Ringing Cedars also describes what these kins have within fruit trees that provide each property with a “living fence,” Perlowin said.
The sites will be designed and used the way the occupants see fit with items such as a pond, organic garden, material for a house and one acre to grow hemp. The kins are meant to provide fully sustainable living situations. A support system geared toward veterans’ needs will be available to those residents, Perlowin said.
Once referring to himself as the “King of Pot”, Perlowin was imprisoned for nine years for marijuana smuggling.
Publicly-traded Hemp, Inc. was started about a decade ago. It has two processing sites: In Spring Hope, North Carolina, there is an industrial hemp processing plant, and in Medford, Oregon, there is a processing center.
Perlowin, Barry K. Epling and two entities he controls, Ferris Holdings, Inc. and Hobbes Equities, Inc., are accused by the Securities and Exchange Commission of a “comprehensive, years-long scheme to defraud investors and evade securities law by selling restricted shares of Hemp without registering the sales,” according to Forbes.com.
Perlowin asserted that he did nothing of the sort. The specific accusation against him for gifting stock to someone, that person selling the stock and then loaning those proceeds to the company isn’t true, he said.
That matter should be in court next year.
If he ends up being found guilty it’s a civil offense. He won’t end up back behind bars.
“If we lose, we get a fine,” he said. “But we won’t lose.”
