The Benefits of Hemp Clothing
Hemp has had such a bad rap over the last few decades because of its association with illicit drugs, however, industrial hemp is one of the most useful and environmentally friendly materials found. In years gone by hemp was an essential and its cultivation was encouraged by governments. It was use for sail, ropes, military uniforms, parachute webbing and canvases of all kinds. Today it has had somewhat of a revival being used in a variety of products such as jewelery, furnishings, paper, body products and increasingly in the construction industry. However, it is as a fabric in the textile industry that hemp has it most obvious use.
Industrial hemp has many advantages over other crop fibers such as cotton.
Hemp
matures in one season
requires considerably less water than cotton
is resistant to pest thus requiring not herbicides
has deep roots which assist in controlling soil erosion
produces 250% more fibers per acre than cotton and some 600% more than flax
Hemp is classified as an Eco textile meaning it requires less energy, produces less carbon and, therefore, creates less pollution than other forms of fabric manufacturing.
Hemp fibers are very much like cotton fibers only three times stronger and far more absorbent making them perfect for infants and adults. Hemp fibers have a natural resistance to mold and mildew and tests have shown that hemp material, with a close weave, repel up to 95% of U.V. rays while other materials such as cotton, repel between 30% and 90%.
Hemp fabric is more course than cotton but can be blended with other natural fibers such as cottons and silk to produce a soft, durable and fashionable material. Hemp clothing is wrinkle free with the ability to retain it shape after years of use.
When compared to cotton hemp’s porous nature allows it to be cool in summer but its insulation qualities mean that hemp clothing is also warm in winter. Its ability to absorb moisture means that dyes are more effective and are resistant to fading.
It seems like hemp has it all. It’s good for the environment, it’s good for your health and it’s good for your pocket. So why not clothing made from hemp?

MMJ Business Academy Introduces Cannabis Boot Camp
posted in: US Hemp Co

Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) January 23, 2015
The MMJ Business Academy, a Colorado Springs-based organization dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed in the medical marijuana industry (MMJ), today announces the launch of Cannabis Boot Camp. The Cannabis Boot Camp is an in-depth, two-day program designed for individuals wishing to start a successful MMJ business or expand their existing operations. The program is led by accomplished advisors well versed in MMJ law and best practices, as well as investors and seasoned entrepreneurs. The Cannabis Boot Camp, held at the Mining Exchange Hotel in downtown Colorado Springs, will start on Saturday, January 31, 2015 and will be followed by an investor pitch event on Sunday, February 1.
Speakers will include the following:
KC Stark, Founder and CEO of Medical Marijuana Business Academy
Charles T. Houghton, Esq., Owner of Charles T. Houghton, P.C., a law firm dedicated to providing business, compliance, licensing and regulatory advice to the recreational and medical marijuana industry.
Alina Lekser, Venture Capitalist, keynote speaker.
“The medical marijuana sector is exploding,” said Stark. “MMJ is currently a $ 2 billion market that’s projected to grow to $ 10 billion by 2018. It’s a land of opportunity, with the potential of becoming a big economic driver, that’s also fraught with pitfalls. We created the Cannabis Boot Camp to help entrepreneurs avoid common mistakes and significantly increase their chance of success.”
“Starting a company is easy; running a successful MMJ business is an entirely different story,” said Houghton. “This is a complicated, highly regulated, ever-changing market. Cannabis Boot Camp provides entrepreneurs with relevant, up-to-date information—everything from regulatory compliance, to day-to-day operations, to key business decisions — that helps them start and grow best-in-class businesses. The event also makes it possible to connect with experts who can answer questions and help entrepreneurs make key business decisions. ”
Stark and Houghton, both members of City of Colorado Springs Medical Marijuana Task Force, that assisted the City in developing its regulatory framework, have helped hundreds of entrepreneurs create thriving companies.
“KC was instrumental in helping us open our business and getting our marketing going,” said Gina Haynes, Manager of The Herb Shoppe. “KC is very knowledgeable about the industry and passionate about helping entrepreneurs create premier establishments.”
“The 18th Amendment of the United States Constitution turned martini-consuming but otherwise law-abiding citizens into criminals, and caused legitimate businesses to be replaced with illegal ones that paid no taxes,” said Perry Sanders Jr. Esq., owner of the Mining Exchange Hotel. “It took years for the United States to come to its senses and end prohibition of alcohol. Repealing the current version of prohibition makes a lot of sense. Not only will it take the black market profit out of marijuana and reduce the funding of gangsters and terrorists, it will also stop the obvious hypocrisy of putting people in jail for choosing one drug over another—wine over marijuana, for example—and bring an evenhandedness to the process of taking away a person’s freedom. I’m very pleased with the progress that the State of Colorado and people like KC Stark are making in reforming marijuana laws and establishing legitimate, taxpaying businesses.”

Hemp Oil: A Super Food
For all of you who are still on the “Just Say No” bandwagon, you might believe that hemp seed oil, which is derived from the seeds of the cannabis plant, is just another way for those dang hippies to get high. However, while the flowers this controversial plant are capable of bringing about mild hallucinations and making everything on FOX News seem hilarious, the seeds and the beneficial fatty oils that they contain, will do no such thing. In fact, hemp seed oil is thought to be one of the most beneficial supplements a person can take in order to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Once upon a time before politicians and business interests got involved, hemp was an important crop with any industrial and medicinal uses. On the health front, the seeds of the hemp plant were found to be an almost perfect food source, containing 80% of the essential fatty acids that our bodies need as well as globule edestins which is a rare protein that is similar to globulin. Hemp oil is easily digestible and contains pretty much all of the essential fatty acids that the body needs in order to stay functioning properly. Modern Research studies have found that taking hemp oil on a regular basis can help repair a damaged immune system and even reverse wasting making it an important natural supplement for both cancer patients and people with AIDS
Taking Internally Hemp Oil Can:
Increase vitality Help with motor skills Ease Arthritis Pain Strengthen the Immune System Treat Tuberculosis Decrease Sun Related Damage to the skin
People with conditions caused by deficiency in LA (Omega 6) and LNA (Omega 3) can be treated by taking hemp oil because it has those essential fatty acids (EFA) in balanced, ideal proportions.
Hemp seed oil has a low level of Stearic acid (18:0) which is beneficial for health because high levels of Stearic acid form flow-impeding clots in blood vessels and work against the healing qualities of the EFA’s.
How much to take:
On the daily basis you can take 2-4 dessert spoons (up to 50 ml) per day. In the case of therapy you can increase the dose up to 150 ml per day for approximately 7 days, then return to the regular daily amount.
Hemp Seed Oil has a nutty flavor that most people find pleasant. It is an ideal additive to salad dressings, dips, or cold pasta. It is not suitable for frying, since excess heat will greatly reduce many of its life giving benefits. It can also be used externally to treat skin conditions such as eczema. You can find it many health food stores.

Los Angeles, California (PRWEB) December 24, 2014
On January 10th in California the Cannabis Career Institute will be hosting a business seminar. The class will be in Los Angeles at the Universal Hilton running 9-7. With law changes and endless opportunities in the industry coming to late there is no better time to invest in the green rush.
The Institute offers state specific training courses ranging from the unique laws and regulations in your area to the completely history of cannabis in the United States. As seen on the Huffington Post, Fox, NBC and more this school is one of the first and most successful of its kind. CCI has been seen at various national events such as the East Coast International Cannabis Associate’s Business Expo in New York and Las Vegas.
California is known as one of the first states to legalize medical marijuana working with NORML back in 1996. Regulations continue to change and progress, yet this state has the biggest market for the industry with endless companies. According to Sacbee.com the 3rd District Court of Appeal reversed a case after a medical patient was wrongly tried for possession on cannabis concentrates. The acceptance of concentrates under the Compassionate Care Act open many more doors in the industry.
Cannabis Career Institute has been teaching entrepreneurs in the ever-growing marijuana industry for years and continues to offer classes nationwide. Thousands of attendees have begun their own businesses from dispensaries to entertainment companies all based around the cannabis plant.

Founder of Marijuana Investment Group Interviewed by Ganjapreneur
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 31, 2014
As public support for the legalization of marijuana has grown, so has the speculation that the cannabis industry could be poised for a major boom if the US federal government changes its policy toward the drug. Like any other emerging market, the cannabis industry has piqued the interest of many venture capital and investment firms around the globe. Recently, Ganjapreneur, a website dedicated to the growing industry, published an interview with Douglas Leighton, founding partner of Dutchess Capital, an investment group which has recently focused its investments on cannabis start-ups.
In the interview, Leighton discusses how Dutchess Capital came to view the cannabis industry as an opportunity and what led to their eventual decision to invest in several start-ups. “It took us about 10 months of due diligence before we were comfortable to make the first investment,” he states. “We joined ArcView, the angel network for the cannabis industry, in the summer of 2013 and met Isaac Dietrich of MassRoots and subsequently made the first investment.” MassRoots is a popular, pseudo-anonymous social network for cannabis users. Leighton elaborates, “They are largest social networking site for the cannabis community and have grown over 2,000% year over year. They are anonymously collecting a tremendous amount of data from their user base such as a user’s strain preference, time of day they consume, consumption method among other key data collection points. They will be able to monetize this data via sponsored posts of either localized merchants and/or national brands.”
Leighton also discusses his predictions for the future of the industry as more and more states begin to legalize cannabis. “The largest market will be pharmaceutical marijuana. This will be a genetically modified version of what is used today for medicinal purposes. The power of this plant is not fully understood; once big pharma understands it, they will get involved.”
Beyond a thriving medical market, Leighton believes that every niche associated with cannabis or hemp will likely see major growth over the next several years. However, this doesn’t mean that every business will prove to be successful. Leighton explains, “investing in this industry is like playing chess without being able to see the board. Eventually ignorance will abate, the banking issue will be fixed and the drug will be rescheduled.”
The full interview can be found on Ganjapreneur’s website, or via their Android app which was launched on the Google Play market earlier this year. Ganjapreneur has announced that their app will also be available in the Apple App Store in the near future. The site launched over the summer, and has since published a large volume of business-related articles and interviews pertaining to cannabis.
