Takes money to make money.
I know that wasn't me. I stated this; Exactly. It's Summer, people are getting ready for a long 4th holiday (I know I am)and the whole sector is down.
Also, not much about the farm bill in the news, there's news but, not the coverage you would think the farm bill would be receiving especially, with the impressive bi partisan support from the senate.
IMO, trade tariff scares, yesterdays shooting, general discourse going on in this country right now, those news topics are flooding the news right now.
Next week, IMO, will be the same. Good news though, we will see a pop, it's a coming!
GO $HEMP 2018!!

I wish I had millions $$ to pull off a scam but, I like any other smart person, I wouldn't pour millions of my own $$ into the scam, I would take and use the rubes $$, like all good con-men do.
Con-men using their own $$ on a scam, you just don't here that "anywhere" else but, here.
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Because, I was under the impression, by comments on here, that the HEMP scam would be trading in the low 3's last week and surprise, it didn't. I tried to give the doom and gloom it's due respect but, as usual, I was mislead.
Oh well!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
My buy order didn't go through at .035. Can you tell me when this hemp scam will be at my buy order pps? Thanks in advance!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Well, I had a buy order in for HEMP shares at .035 all week and it didn't fill. I guess the gloom and doom predictions are baseless nonsense.
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Here's some news from another otc company that just visited Nipton.

Very nice! Nice Green Hemp Day!
HEMP was one of the few in this sector that was Green and had a large volume, I'm not worried in the least!
Have a Great weekend to everyone, see you all after, next week!
Have A Happy 4th
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Exactly. It's Summer, people are getting ready for a long 4th holiday (I know I am)and the whole sector is down.
Also, not much about the farm bill in the news, there's news but, not the coverage you would think the farm bill would be receiving especially, with the impressive bi partisan support from the senate.

GO $HEMP 2018!!
I would be concerned about HEMP's performance today if it weren't for the fact the whole sector isn't doing well.
Welcome to the market in the Summer time!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Looking like a nice slow climb. Once this gets more media attention, this should take off, IMO.
GO $HEMP 2018!!
That's more than likely true but, unlike the last r/s, the pps would sky rocket and maintain those gains making the r/s more bearable, unlike the last r/s, IMO.
Agreed! I've been saying for a while now, that as soon as hemp is legalized, I see HEMP being bought out.
Probably not right away but, I do see it happening.
I'll hold on to "some" long shares. I've been flipping HEMP for 5 yrs, during those flips, I try to hold a small position after everything is said and done.
It's just something about the ticker symbol HEMP that keeps me coming back!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
My hope, before the end of July.
Realistically, by the end of Summer, IMO.
I think the SNAP amendment might be the issue that holds up the bills passage in a timely manner.

Senate passes $428 billion farm bill, setting up fight with House over food stamps, subsidies and conservation
The Senate bill, which passed with bipartisan support, now requires reconciliation with a House measure passed last week.
The House-passed version imposed work requirements for food-stamp recipients and largely eliminated a popular conservation program. Those provisions are not included in the Senate version, setting up a struggle between House conservatives who pushed the provisions and Senate Democrats and some Republicans who oppose them.
The current law expires Sept. 30. If a new measure isn’t passed before then, some farm programs could expire or lose funding.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
It's a news driven sector at this point.
Look at the jump in pps when Mitch introduced Hemp legislation in April.
Then, another boost in pps when the senate announced having a vote on their farm bill, with Hemp legis, before the 4th of July holiday.
During this time, HEMP's pps has stayed fairly consistent, IMO, when the senate passes the Farm bill (hopefully this week) we will see another pps boost.
With the presidents signature, we should see a "very" nice boost in pps, especially with "heavy" media coverage, once again, IMO.

In 2015, just over a year later.
HEMP has been maintaining a consistent pps through out the day.
Then, towards the end of trading day, while the blowhards keep talking, it starts to spiral down.
I've run out of walls to bang my head on. lol! Out of here today, too nice outside! GLT All!
GO HEMP 2018!!
It was about 2.5 billion o/s in 2014.
Well, I just spent the past 10 minutes banging my head against the wall, came back and she is still talking. Back to the wall.
These senators just keep going on and on and on.
Just get to the point. Blah Blah Blah.
I would not make a good politician. LOL!
Thanks for the link!
It will be the Hemp news after, this is passed, that sets the tone for how high HEMP's pps will go, IMO.

New rules for Vermont’s industrial hemp program will take effect July 1
New rules for Vermont’s industrial hemp program will take effect July 1, according to a WCAX report. The state-level changes seek to reduce the likelihood of federal interference among the state’s hemp farmers.
Specifically, Vermont’s new industrial hemp rules set up a lab certification standard under a cannabis quality control program through the Agency of Agriculture. It also gives access to out-of-state seed supplies for Vermont farmers.
“[The] Farm bill gave states and universities the authority to do research on hemp, whether that was market research (or) genetic research. Just exploring the option of growing hemp as a viable crop.” — Cary Gigeure, Director of Public Health Agriculture Manager
Vermont hopes to encourage state businesses to incorporate more hemp products as a part of this shift, including beer, but officials are in some cases still uncertain how they will regulate and enforce the state’s new hemp laws.
Also on July 1, Vermont’s adult-use cannabis regulations will take effect. This policy shift will allow citizens to cultivate their own cannabis plants and gift up to an ounce of flower between adults; although the rules do not create a taxed-and-regulated marketplace, they are expected to establish a thriving gray market for cannabis products.
Wilmington start-up’s hemp-based prosthetics could be cheaper for users, safer for manufacturers
WILMINGTON—Prosthetic limbs have come a long way, allowing not just mobility but athleticism that would have been impossible 20 years ago. But current prosthetics aren’t cheap, and they aren’t easy on the people who manufacture them either.
Kyle Trivisonno, a Wilmington-based entrepreneur, is developing methods at his start-up Eco TEK Industries to build prosthetic limbs from the fibers of the hemp plant.
Once processed, Trivisonno said the resulting material has the strength and lightness you would want from carbon fiber, but offers the possibility of a much less expensive prosthetic.
Trivisonno, who currently works for Atlantic Prosthetic Services in Wilmington, also knows firsthand how tough carbon fiber can be to work with.
“I love what I do, I love being a technician–you get to see real tangible change in people’s lives. But the materials we work with are very caustic. Carbon fiber is really bad for–breathing it in, getting in on your skin,” Trivisonno said. “Carbon fiber is about 100 times as bad of a skin irritant as fiberglass. You’re supposed to, really, wear a (full-body) Tyvek suit.”
Trivisonno has worked with carbon fiber for almost five years and shared legitimate concerns that carbon fiber can enter the bloodstream through pores, possibly causing cancer or other organ issues.
Carbon fiber alternatives exist, Trivisonno said, but many of them are synthetic and the production process can produce toxic byproducts not unlike GenX.
Trivisonno’s innovation is using industrial hemp fiber to manufacture prosthetics. While Eco TEK Industries is in its infancy, he hopes to eventually use renewable bio-based materials like hemp to “dramatically” reduce the cost of prosthetics.
A new hemp manufacturing boom?
The technology isn’t limited to artificial limbs, either.
“I’m really hoping to apply this technology and material to making boats, RVs, whatever people would build from fiberglass,” Trivisonno said. “I’m really excited to get into trying this material on other materials–right now I’ve built a skateboard and, it works pretty well. It’s sweet.”
Eco TEK Industries recently won $10,000 “micro-grant” from NC IDEA, a private North Carolina Foundation that helps get “high-growth entrepreneurial endeavors” off the ground. NC IDEA’s micro-grants range from $1,000 to $10,000.
For Trivisonno and Eco Tek Industries, that means being able to afford laboratory time and services at NC State, which has partnered on the program, as well as materials and other overhead.
Ultimately, Trivisonno sees Eco TEK Industries as part of a new manufacturing boom in North Carolina, utilizing the wide range of textiles that can be created from hemp.
Video: A preview of the Eco Tek Industries prototype.
In the short-term, however, he’s already produced some working prototype prosthetics. Trivisonno’s friend and test subject, Marc Dunshee, has served as the model for Eco Tek Industries’ first hemp-based artificial limbs.
So, how well do they work?
Recently, Dunshee took fourth place in the Emerge Orth 5k run several months ago, sporting Trivisonno’s hemp-based prosthetic. And, although Trivisonno’s plan is a marathon, not a sprint, it’s an auspicious start.
Instead of waiting for a bunch of blowhards, here some more promising advancements with hemp!
Australian Company Plans Construction of 3D-Printed Hemp Homes
Amid the flurry of headlines about cannabis legalization, new products, and innovations, the humble hemp plant doesn’t get much press. But this often unremarked sector of the legal cannabis industry is a major part of the “green revolution” going on around the world.
Legal cannabis means many companies are turning with renewed interest to the wide industrial applicability of hemp. And one company, the Australia-based Mirreco, is working to make hemp the home-building material of the not-so-distant future.
From Farm To House: Company Envisions Environmentally Sustainable Homes Made From Hemp
Australian company Mirreco is emerging as a leader in the country’s rapidly developing hemp industry.
Mirreco says that it has developed a specialized machine for processing hemp plants. The machine can separate plant components, like the fibers, seeds, and hurd.
The Perth-based company wants to create a fleet of such machines that, once mobile, could travel to farming locations and process hemp on site.
The company recently announced its plans to take hemp processing much further. Mirreco has developed a way to manufacture building panels from hemp biomass.
Coupled with 3D-printing technology, builders would be able to custom-design hemp biomass panels to make livable residences and other structures.
Inside the New 3D-Printed Hemp Homes
To demonstrate the capabilities of its innovative hemp biomass building panels, Mirreco partnered with Australian architecture firm Arcforms.
Mirreco describes the hemp biomass panels as “structurally sound, easy to produce” and claims that they “provide superior thermal performance” compared to typical building materials. Of course, industrial hemp companies have known about the merits of hemp building material for some time.
But Mirreco’s innovation stems from their use of 3D-printing technology to shape their hemp biomass panels into fully livable homes. “Just image living and working in buildings that are 3D-printed and available to move into in only a matter of weeks,” Mirreco said in an announcement.
In an Instagram post showcasing the latest images of the hemp home prototype, Mirreco describes the homes as carbon negative, “off the grid” living solutions. The homes sport ground-breaking technology, including windows that convert sunlight into electrical energy.
Hemp Homes Could Offer An Important Solution To Major Environmental Challenges
Greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide, are rapidly rising around the world due to human activity. Finding ways to reduce those emissions and remove them from the atmosphere are major environmental challenges for a planet hoping to stave off the worst consequences of climate change.
And hemp can help. Before they even become industrial products, hemp crops help to sequester and store carbon dioxide. In other words, hemp crops remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
Furthermore, hemp biomass materials leave a much smaller environmental footprint than synthetic building materials. And thanks to innovations across the industry, hemp-based bio-composite materials are already besting the performance of their synthetic counterparts.
Livable 3D-printed homes are already planned for construction in the Netherlands. Project Milestone will build five sustainable, 3D-printed homes made of concrete. Residents of the Dutch town of Bosrijk could move into the first ever livable 3D-printed homes by next year.
Rather than using concrete, Mirreco hopes building projects like Milestone will employ hemp biomass like the Arcforms prototype.
The senate to finally vote on it. What a bunch of wind bags!
HEMP is the only company that it's CEO isn't allowed to make money and not allowed to finance their company through shareholder support, even though that's how the otc and the stock market works, I thought until, I started reading posts on this board.
GO $HEMP 2018!!
Sorry, that shows you making $$ in HEMP. We have been told on here that no one makes $$ on HEMP, everyone is in the hole.
So, even though you supplied proof, I believe what I'm told, not what I can see with my own eyes. lol!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
It passed a procedural vote. It will have 5 hours of debate, if needed.
The procedural vote was 89 in favor and 3 against. A very good sign of bi partisan support for the senate version of Farm bill.
Grassley wanting more of that pharma money. But, many politicians see the $$ that hemp will bring in and even the pharma industry won't change their minds on that fact, IMO.
lol! I know I don't!
GO $HEMP 2018!!
They still need to reconcile the house and senate bills. There might be an issue with the houses SNAP provision but, IMO, I don't see it being a major set back at this point.
Yes, senate moves forward with (limited) debating of the 2018 Farm bill!
It appears that there is strong bi partisan support at this point. That's a great sign, IMO.
GO $HEMP 2018!!
The cloture vote is occurring now.
Procedural vote,
1. to see if further debate and
2. to gauge the support of the bill. Looks like a strong bi-partisan support at this time!
So far, 85-3 good sign!
So far, 79-3
So far, 71-2
