What does rescheduling mean for this industry?

Now that cannabis is being rescheduled from 1 to 3, what does it mean for the industrial hemp industry? Can we deregulate it now? It's such a versatile and beneficial plant. We should all be allowed to farm it now, right?

Hemp Hurd?

Anyone know someone in the southeast with mass hemp hurd? (found a marketplace ad already for 38 pallets).

Any growers? Is there a repository to look up industrial hemp growers?

Need hemp hurd, or ground up hemp hurd.

Hemp Webbing/strap as Ratchet Strap's Strap Material?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to build a greenhouse in my landlords agricultural lot, and I ran into this building by Overtreders W as an inspiration.

https://www.overtreders-w.nl/en/stapelopveenhuizen

I am fascinated by the concept and the design, I would love to try the principle out myself on not-my land :). I really like this idea of deconstructibility because if I move out, the landlord can either deconstruct it really quick and use the materials for whatever shed he needs to build, or I can bring the materials to where I am moving to and reconstruct it there.

One problem is,,, I do not like the polyester or polypropylene straps they are using for "strapping" everything down, and I would love to use hemp webbings as the strap material. It would be biodegradable (the strap/webbing will stay dry under polycarb roof, so it should not decompose), and is more UV resistant and durable without plastic fibers fraying and failing due to long UV exposure.

I have yet to find any available academic resources regarding their break strengths, etc. All I can find of the use for the webbing are dog collars and other minor load cases. Assuming from their historical use as ropes for ships and stuff, I would not doubt that it can be used to hold down a roof or a floor from flying away in the wind. But who makes them that strong anymore? Does anyone have any insights into this use of hemp webbing? Anyone who sells heavy duty hemp straps/ropes that are flat? IF anyone does, I would love to ask about it.

Thank you so much for reading!!!!

The cheapest cannabinoid?

Which cannabinoid is the cheapest, but at the same time such that I can feel its effect? (I bought a CBG oil that is supposed to give energy, but I don't feel any change.)

I don't want anything downright psychoactive (like THC). Rather, I'm looking for a cannabinoid that I can feel, and at the same time, it's not too expensive.

Thank you

Recommended brands for men’s hemp clothing?

I’m looking for hemp boxer briefs and tank tops/undershirts for my boyfriend, who has fallen in love with the hemp tshirts and sweats that I got him for Christmas. The brands I bought from (Onno and Marcel Hemp) don’t sell underwear or tanks and I can’t seem to find any other brands that do. Any suggestions?

Texas hemp white/private labeling, retest needed?

Texas DSHS (department of health services) CHP (consumable hemp product manufacturing) license covers when “The retailer white labels or private labels the CHPs, which is when a business places its own label (name and address) on a product physically manufactured by another business.”

If a business had this license, and were to white/private label unchanged hemp flower, would it be required to be lab tested again?

Hemp Definition?

Someone recently told me (sales) that a young cannabis plant is called hemp, and is called cannabis when it is mature?

How widespread is this understanding? Someone also told me that hemp is what is being sold at stores these days and not cannabis???

What’s your understanding on this?

Hemp gummies for sleep?

Do these work? I desperately need some sleep. I’m also concerned about allergies, I have a lot of crazy ones. I’m allergic to all fruits and beer. I’m not sure what from the beer I’m allergic too, but I’m allergic (so if my dad). Is it possible to have an allergy to hemp? I just want to sleep

Need Help From Our Group

I will loose my lot and processing facility after April. There was a death and the property is being sold. I have 15lbs of Berry Blossom seeds and many pounds of hemp in different states of processing.

What the hell do I do with it now?

I'd like to sell it but don't know where to start.

I'm in Pennsylvania. It was legally grown and tested at 2% THC. The new owner intends on occupying and using the land. So, my lease will be voided and I will have only 30 days at some point per PA law.

Hemp Seeds & Growing question?

So I am about to recieve my hemp license and I want to make sure I am compliant and I have been trying to do as much research as possible. I am understanding you can use any mariuana seed cause hemp & thc are all the same. At first I thought I needed specific seeds. Now, next problem how do I prevent it from turning into thc. I read that it can happen in the curing process and obviously I know about if you decarb it. But if I just grow out a regular crop and cut it down, how do I prevent it from converting, so I don't have to destroy the whole crop?
