  1. Every hemp farmer seems soooo relaxed. I am in the southeastern U.S. I grow soybeans, corn, cotton, and winter wheat every other year. Approximately how much would I need to spend on equipment to harvest hemp? Would I need any other specialized equipment such as in the planting of it? I think it needs drying, much like tobacco. How do you dry it, store it, and what would be the approximate cost of investment in that area?

  2. Lol 1000 pounds per acre that sucks. Corn last year our average yeld was 197 bushel per acre. 56lbs per bushel comes to 11,032lbs per acer. They don't tell the sale price or the ware on the machinery

  3. Make sure you never let Monsanto into hemp production.
    I never use Canola as it is GM garbage.
    GM food is bad due to the over use of herbicides.
    Hemp is the future for so many reasons.

  4. i would like to know if cannabis and hemp mixed together makes a strong medicine with a larger amount of all the chemical ingredients that make up the bio-matter.
    also if the old putrifiying 'plastic' hemp can eat away bad petrol based plastic, thus a invention in the making of cleaning up plastic and landfills. maybe that mixed with that mushroom that eats up plastic from the amazon, and hemp and mushrooms and other cleansing plants can clean up pollution. 
    i think that there is many free energy devices and inventions, compounds, chemicals, and medicines still not widely known, we should all consider all the magnifing possibilities that awaits the seeked truth and blessing for humanity.
    just think, hemp cannabis infused oil clay type of mask that heals wounds, band aids infused with aloe vera and cbd rich hemp, cannabis juiced tonics to cure internal health deficiencies, oil moisterizers with hemp cannabis oil and other supporting medicinal plants to treat any problem. the alternative route does not end there with sacred plants. many other types of plants that are just as interesting as cannabis, just learning of the different type of plants, trees, flowers, nuts, and fungi make me interested in projecting it globally, a healing cloth, toilet paper that is made from hemp and cbd rich eye, nose, mouth drops, new types of plan on the way yall.

  5. I smoke the chewy like a nut for pain and pleasure and studied hemp for the last 3 to 4 years, its the most incredible plant on the earth,, so now look at the profit and enviro benefits ok back to the $ its worth billions. legal in several states but hemp is safe in only a few..legalize weed , and regulate it ,,and tax it like alcohol …$$$ fo the debt..Hemp West

  6. 30 barrels of OIL per acre ! ! ! More fiber than wood (from TREES ). hemp seed the most nutritious food on the planet.ect. . . Fantastic rotation crop for putting nitrogen back into soil. Grows fast. Soaps, shampoos, medicines, ON & ON & ON….. WHAT are we waiting for ! Oh I know, some stupid law past in 1937 ! !   W H AT ! !    W.T.F !   Grow up, you IGNOREANT Americans..

  7. It's not just THC, it's the Cannabinoids. Many studies (Harvard Medical School included), have shown the cannabiniods killing cancer cells, "anti-tumoral". Why don't more 'dopers' have cancer? If a joint is like smoking a pack of cigarettes? Cough, cough.

  8. While cannabis has wonderful anti-nausea properties to help fight the radiation therapy side effects, their are also many studies that point to the possibility of cannabinoids directly reducing tumor size

  9. THC doesn't "cure" cancer… *(facepalm)* it helps treat the horrible side-effects that are caused by the poison that is chemotherapy. Whilst being poison, chemo has undeniably cured millions of peoples' cancer. The active ingredient of THC in sativa has been evaporated, and encapsulated to be sold by pharmaceutical companies: Marinol & Sativex.

    So what's the difference? A vile of marinol costs about $1000 (much cheaper than chemo btw) BUT… a joint costs about $10 here in the south. So yah…

  10. USA still classifies cannabis as a class 1 'drug'. This means it has no medicinal value (according to THEM) and is classified as dangerous as heroin, meth, cocaine etc…YET, in 2003 PATENT # 6630507 USA PATENT on cannabinoids. THE USA GOV declares it has no medicinal value but the Gov has a patent on cannabinoids and declares the plant is able to cure all kinds of illness. Just shows what 'THEY' are all about = creating revenue through imprisonment,lying,sickness etc…the Gov is sick.

  11. The reason why it is kept illegal is because 'they' know it is the best medicine in the world. THEY know that it will wipe away the pharma industry, the plastics industry, paper industry etc. if they legalize it. This is the reason why it's 'illegal'. Cannabis oil does work, trust me. ENDO CANNABINOID SYSTEM…..CANNABINOID RECEPTORS…..cannabis is full of cannabinoids = perfect fit for our health = this is why it is illegal. THEY want us sick and to go through their 'death system'.

  12. Phoenix Tears is a product that calls itself "hemp oil" which is chock full of THC from distilled bud. Producers claim it is highly medicinal, good for curing everything from burns to cancer. They distinguish their product from hemp SEED (pressed) oil, which has no THC. Probably that's why your package was opened. Someone wanted to ensure you were just receiving hemp seed oil, not something illegal.

  13. It is so sad that folks feel a desperate need to stop folks from enjoying THC, like it is evil to enjoy things. I'm glad some people are beginning to see the idiocy in damning the unbelievably useful non-potent hemp plant along with it's psychoactive brother. But why, really, is it so fundamentally sinful to use a substance that makes you feel peaceful and happy when it does no harm to self or others? It's like folks hate anyone to enjoy life. Sour grapes, or something.

  14. People inclined to use hard drugs at all are usually folks trying to deal with pain, either emotional or physical. Folks who become addicted to drugs are those with the most pain, like abusive childhoods. Did the researchers in the twins study account for factors like that, or did they just assume that twins are always identical people with identical lives?

  15. Hemp is cannabis. Cannabis is the plant species. Hemp is the bi-product. Marijuana is slang for the high-THC "drug" that is completely illegal in most states in the U.S.
    Cannabis growth is illegal in the U.S.
    Hemp products are mostly legal to be sold.

  16. @MrMarijuanaKills well, that was their choice to do the harder drugs. i would never take anything that can kill me. Weed doesn't kill… So i am gonna keep on doing it

  17. The last time i ordered some hemp oil from Canada the package came opened.Bottles were still sealed though.I put this stuff on my dog where they took out some stiches and the scar vanished in less than a week.I had to put a cone on the dogs neck though so he wouldn't lick it off.

  18. The FACT is HEMP/MARUJANA/CANNABIS are the SAME THING just different NAMES, THEY ARE ALL HEMP/MARUJANA/CANNABIS

    Its just that people WRONGLY call street weed MARUJANA
    And Industrial weed HEMP

    WHEN IN REALITY

    Street weed, is HIGH THC – HEMP

    Industrial Weed is LOW THC and EXTRA FIBRE – HEMP

  19. The argument that farmers could sneak in THC-producing plants among the hemp plants is silly. The vast majority of farmers I know are very conservative, Republican-voting people. And besides, they could just as easily be running illegal alcohol stills from their corn and barley crops. So it makes us in the U.S. look rather silly: We don't trust our farmers, but we trust Canada's farmers?

  20. Where can Americans buy hemp straw, hurds, or shiv in bulk or even small quantities for building construction and other endeavors? Are any of your paper manufacturers using hemp to make paper yet? Thanks. (~);?)~

  21. Ford made a hemp car in the early 20's///the body of the car was indestructible…most farmers make money on other crops because the crop is subsidized by the government…hemp is not subsidized in Canada
