Good News for Hemp! Bad News for Medical MJ businesses, everywhere, ouch!
Marijuana Growers Turn to Hemp to Fight Oversupply
Some countries ban possession and use of the drug marijuana, but it is legal in parts of the United States.
Nine states and Washington, D.C. have measures legalizing recreational uses of marijuana. The drug is approved for medical purposes in a total of 29 states.
But in Oregon, an oversupply of marijuana has driven down prices of the drug. This has led some worried growers to start moving towards to another product – the hemp plant -- to keep their businesses profitable.
Marijuana comes from the dried leaves and flowers of the Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica plant. Hemp is another kind of cannabis. It does not have the same intoxicating effects as the widely known drug.
Hemp contains less than 0.3 percent of THC, the substance that gives marijuana its powerful effect. Growing industrial hemp is legal under federal law, and the plant can be sold for use in things like cloth, food, seed and building materials.
In Oregon, the number of requests for permission to grow hemp is 20 time what is was in 2015. That makes Oregon second only to Colorado among the 19 states with active hemp farming.
The changing market comes at the same time as demand is rising for a chemical that comes from hemp. That chemical is cannabidiol, or CBD, which some people see as good for human health.
CBD oil flows into a large container during the extraction process from hemp plants at New Earth Biosciences in Salem, Oregon.

In its purer form, CBD oil can sell for thousands of dollars per kilogram. Farmers can make more than $100,000 on less than half a hectare of land by growing hemp to produce it.
That purified substance can also be made into crystallized particles.
Jerrad McCord grows marijuana in southern Oregon. He just added 5 hectares of hemp to his land. He told the Associated Press that many people see it as a new way to get rich quickly.
“This is a business,” he said. “You’ve got to adapt, and you’ve got to be a problem-solver.”
But there is a problem few people predicted when Oregon voters approved a measure to legalize marijuana four years ago.
The state’s climate is perfect for growing marijuana, and growers produce unusually large crops. And under state law, none of it can leave Oregon. That, combined with a decision to not limit the number of permits for growers, has created an oversupply.
The total amount of marijuana stored in Oregon is shocking for a state its size. Many people smoke the flower of the plant, and there are nearly 450,000 kilograms of usable flower in the state. There is an additional 159,000 kilograms of other forms of marijuana, including products one can eat or drink.
The Oregon Liquor Control Commission supervises the state’s marijuana industry. The commission says some of the flower is used in specialty products, like oils, which have increased in popularity. But the agency cannot say how much.
A detailed study of the market is currently taking place.
Falling marijuana prices
The price for a single gram of marijuana has fallen about 50 percent since 2015, from around $14 to around $7. That information comes from the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis. Growers and sellers alike have felt the effect.
Trey Willison changed his farming business from marijuana to hemp this season. Now, he says, he is considering destroying some of his crops instead of selling them at low prices.
“Whoever would have thought we’d get to the point of destroying pounds of marijuana?” Willison said.

This difficult choice is driving more of Oregon’s marijuana growers towards hemp. The crop is already popular in states like Colorado and Kentucky, and gets a lot of attention in the cannabis industry.
In Oregon, the number of government permits to grow hemp rose from 12 in 2015 to 353 by early May 2018. And the state is now second nationwide in terms of approved, licensed hectares.
Colorado is the U.S. leader in hemp production. It and Washington were the first states to widely legalize marijuana. Both have seen prices drop for marijuana, but not as much as in Oregon.
Growing interest in CBD
In Oregon, people are increasingly interested in the gold-colored oil CBD. Its popularity has risen sharply among self-described cannabis experts and is quickly being seen as normal by the general public.
At least 50 percent of hemp nationwide is being grown for CBD extraction. And Oregon is riding the top of that wave, said Eric Steenstra. He is the president of Vote Hemp, an independent organization that fights for pro-hemp laws.
“There are a lot of growers who already have experience growing cannabis, and when you’re growing for CBD, there are a lot of the same techniques that you use for growing marijuana,” he said.
CBD is appearing in everything, from beauty products to bottled water to animal food.
Supporters say CBD offers a number of healing effects, from easing pain to calming nerves. However, scientists warn that there have been few wide-reaching studies of how CBD affects humans.
That is mostly because the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration still considers cannabidiol a Schedule 1 drug -- meaning it is illegal to buy or sell. And the government requires special approval to study it.

Cooper says small studies involving animals have shown CBD could be helpful in treating pain, drug dependency and other conditions.
Next month, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could approve the first medicine made from CBD. It is used to treat people with epilepsy.
Following the House Agriculture Committee action on marking up its farm bill, soon it will be the Senate's turn to see what changes might be ahead for farmers. Although the Senate has not produced its farm bill draft, it is expected to do so in the next few weeks. Beyond the overwhelming differences likely on the nutrition title, some of the changes House Agriculture Committee Chairman Mike Conaway, R-Texas, made may not find their way into the Senate bill.
Senate aims to finish bipartisan farm bill in June
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Senator Amy Klobuchar said on Tuesday that the U.S. Senate expects to finish a bipartisan farm bill sometime in June.
With 2018 midterm elections looming, Congress could fall back on a similar stop-gap extension this year. But the Senate isn't giving up.
As a senior member of the Agriculture Committee, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky takes a strong personal interest in the issue. And because the farm bill won't be considered under special "reconciliation" rules requiring only a majority vote, Senate passage will require support from at least nine Democrats to surmount an opposition filibuster.
That assures the Senate farm bill won't include the sorts of food stamp restrictions that helped sink the House proposal today. Which means, in turn, that Congress will have at least one more chance to patch together a bipartisan farm coalition once again.

Industrial hemp being used to build home in Bellingham
BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- If you’re thinking of remodeling your home, using hemp likely didn’t come to mind. However, a company remodeling a home in Bellingham is hoping to change minds, by using what's called "hempcrete."
The use of industrial hemp actually dates back to Roman times, when builders would use the strain of Cannabis sativa, a flowering plant, to build. This particular strain of hemp requires it to be grown outdoors and is longer than a different version that is used for pot.
A handful of companies, like Hempitecture, are giving hemp a resurgence as a building tool.
“What we’re trying to do is look at how hempcrete can be applied into more custom homes, more larger-scale homes,” said Matthew Mead, founder of Hempitecture.
RELATED STORY
First hemp harvest in U.S. in about 55 years
Idaho-based Hempitecture has used hempcrete for projects in that state, but now they’re working on an addition/renovation off Highland Drive in Bellingham. They’ve called it the Highland Hemp House. According to Mead, there are several reasons why hemp makes a sustainable and strong building substance.
“It’s derived from three things. It’s derived from the wooden core of the industrial hemp plant, a lime-based binder as well as water,” he said.
According to Mead, industrial hemp is commonly used for making rope, clothing or for nutritional supplements. For construction purposes, its wooden core is broken down and shipped in bales.
“We can combine a half bale of this hemp herd into the mixer with our lime base slurry,” said Mead.
Once it's mixed, the workers pour it and then tamper it down in between a wooden frame. And then, a couple of hours later, you have the finished product, hempcrete.
“You get a highly insulating, energy-efficient wall system that's also non-toxic,” said Mead. “Hempcrete is a green building strategy that’s healthy, breathable. It’s fire resistant."
Only a handful of buildings across the country were built with hempcrete. And according to Mead, there are several reasons why. For one, different states have different regulations on the use of hemp. For Mead, that means educating each state and each county on what hempcrete is.
“It really ends up being this repetitive process where we don't have a governing code that allows hempcrete,” he said. “So, we have the same conversation with each county that we work in.”
Another is production of industrial hemp itself. There just isn’t enough of it in the U.S., Mead said. For the project in Bellingham, hemp fibers had to be shipped from Europe.
“The more people that get into the processing industry, the more farmers will be confident that they can have that grown product turned into something that's sellable,” said Mead.
Only a few states are growing industrial hemp, with Kentucky leading in production, according to Mead. Another issue is breaking the stigma of “hemp” itself.
“One of my favorite ones is, 'If my house burns down, will I get high?' And the reason why I love that one is because clearly you don't know that much about industrial hemp because hempcrete is fireproof,” said Mead. “Hempcrete and industrial hemp doesn’t have THC in it, it doesn’t have the intoxicant that marijuana has.”
For Mead, he believes the future of industrial hemp is growing. He thinks with more open regulation and a better classification of industrial hemp, that will help the industry grow.
“Once you tell people what the building material is, they start to understand it. They get it. Why wouldn`t you use this strategy?” said Mead.
Right now, hempcrete costs about 10 percent more than traditional building methods, said Mead. He believes the cost will go down once production increases.

Once again, why is this being allowed on the HEMP board?
so What is a Brand ambassador exactly?
A Kannaway Brand Ambassador is a person who signs up with the company for the
opportunity to promote its products and/or to get wholesale pricing for their own
purchases. It is similar to what some companies call a distributor.
You already read the list of criteria you should look for in a business or income opportunity
(above). Kannaway’s program meets all those criteria. There are many other benefts you’ll
enjoy when you become a Kannaway Brand Ambassador.
You get wholesale pricing on all of their products. If you’re a regular user of the products,
the discounts will more than pay for your membership, sometimes within a month.
You get two $50 gift cards to share with friends and family with the value pack. This beneft
also pays for itself.
You get your own website to promote the Kannaway products and the opportunity. You

Hemp and the farm bill making strides!
Once again, the farm bill is stuffed with food stamps
Every five years Republicans and Democrats somehow reach across-the-aisle — however farfetched this may seem — to reauthorize the gargantuan “farm bill.” The deadline to craft the latest version of this mammoth, multi-billion dollar farce-er-farm bill is September 30.
A new Congressional Budget Office report estimates the House-proposed 2018 farm bill, clocking in at 641 pages, will cost $868 billion over the next ten years. Like its 2014 predecessor, this year’s farm bill is a smorgasbord of farm subsidies, rural development, environmental conservation, and crop insurance. Fortunately, the infamous Obama-era Christmas Tree Promotion Board is unlikely to be reauthorized, but it appears Christmas will continue as scheduled — thank goodness.
The colloquially named farm bill conjures up visions of Uncle Sam helping small family farmers toiling in their fields with their non-GMO-fed animals grazing on wide, open pastures. Truth is, it could not be further from this idyllic scenario.
In reality, roughly 80 percent of the bill’s annual budget is earmarked for food stamps, officially called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Most of the other 20 percent is dedicated to pork barrel spending and crony capitalism. The bill is rife with million-dollar subsidies for corporate farmers courtesy of the good old American taxpayers.
Apparently things haven’t changed all that much when one compares the current iteration of the farm bill to the first version, the Agricultural Adjustment Act, which passed during the Great Depression under President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal. The original, like the present, was chock-full-of wealth distribution and government goodies, such as subsidies to farmers for not growing crops and government purchases of livestock for slaughter.
Eighty-four years later, the farm bill has grown enormously in size and scope —so much so that it is a source of contentious debate between urban and rural lawmakers. For instance, SNAP, created during President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society in 1964, initially appropriated $75 million in benefits to 350,000 Americans. Fifty-two years later, SNAP doled out benefits to approximately 44.2 million people at a cost of $70.9 billion to taxpayers. The United States is more prosperous and the standard of living has increased dramatically over the last five decades, yet government handouts for food has skyrocketed—what gives?
SNAP’s ballooning costs, coupled with a surging economy and record-low unemployment rate, has put the program under intense scrutiny from many who believe lax eligibility guidelines should be strengthened to increase self-reliance and decrease government dependence.
Fortunately, the proposed farm bill addresses this basic concern by streamlining and increasing work requirements on all able-bodied adults, except those who are pregnant or care for children under age six. The bill would mandate adults aged 18–59 work or participate in a job training program for at least 20 hours a week to receive benefits. Beginning in 2026, the work and job training requirements would increase to at least 25 hours a week. Currently, adults over age 50 and those who have a dependent child are exempt from work mandates.
So-called “lock-out provisions” would also be strengthened. For example, recipients who fail to meet work requirements one time would be ineligible to receive benefits for 12 months and then ineligible for 36 months for subsequent violations. The House estimates these reforms would affect between five million and seven million food stamp recipients and about one million of them would move off the program over a decade.
Of course, a law is only as good as its enforcement. The farm bill would remove existing loopholes states use to waive their residents from work requirements and revoke any states’ SNAP federal funds if they fail to comply with minimum service requirements. Right now, state officials can request these waivers from the federal government if they have an average unemployment rate above 10 percent or can demonstrate labor surplus.
There has been overuse of waivers that allow able-bodied adults without dependents (ABAWD) to receive food stamps even without meeting basic work requirements. These waivers are especially inappropriate in an economy with 18-year low unemployment and strong gains in full-time job creation. Five states (Alabama, California, Louisiana, Nevada, and New Mexico) and the District of Columbia have active state-wide waivers for their ABAWD population. Another 28 states have partial waivers approved for ABAWDs residing in certain areas within their borders.
In typical fashion, several Democrats have lambasted the proposed farm bill, calling it “a cynical Trojan Horse” purposefully designed to inflict harm on vulnerable starving families. Wrong. Taxpayers are not ATM machines. Several states, including Alabama, Georgia, and Maine, have implemented SNAP reforms similar to those in the bill with great success. Requiring work or training as a condition of receiving welfare benefits encourages self-sufficiency and ensures SNAP and all other welfare programs are serving only those truly in need, without unnecessarily burdening American taxpayers.

A glut of legal marijuana has driven Oregon pot prices to rock-bottom levels, prompting some nervous growers to start pivoting to another type of cannabis to make ends meet — one that doesn't come with a high.
Applications for state licenses to grow hemp — marijuana's non-intoxicating cousin — have increased more than twentyfold since 2015, and Oregon now ranks No. 2 behind Colorado among the 19 states with active hemp cultivation. The rapidly evolving market comes amid skyrocketing demand for a hemp-derived extract called cannabidiol, or CBD, seen by many as a health aid.
In its purified distilled form, CBD oil commands thousands of dollars per kilogram, and farmers can make more than $100,000 an acre growing hemp plants to produce it. That distillate can also be converted into a crystallized form or powder.
