This is my new discovery! Hemp seed oil is now my most favourite EVER skin care. It has a comedogenic rating of 0 (so will NOT clog your pores), is green in colour (so great a hiding that redness) and has a high linoleic acid content which makes your sebum softer and smoother and therefore easier to become unplugged.

Cannabis Now Magazine Celebrates the Return of American Hemp

posted in: Hemp Farming 0


Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) June 03, 2014

Cannabis Now Magazine featured the historic first hemp crop grown in the U.S. in decades on the cover of its latest issue. Photographer Kim Sidwell’s cover image, showcased in the publication driven to enlighten and educate the public on the legitimate and beneficial side of cannabis, demonstrates a celebration of cannabis’ long demonized cousin and a return of the industrial hemp industry in America.

“It’s all about job creation, that’s the whole point of this industry,” Colorado hemp cultivator Ryan Loflin said. “To get small town America back to having jobs that are profitable. The end result in rural America is going to be pretty outstanding. It has so many uses … everything except glass can be made from hemp, it’s a special crop.”

The latest issue of Cannabis Now also includes an article on hemp plastics and the future of the hemp marketplace in areas such as fashion, topical creams, nutrition and building materials.

During World War II American farmers harvested more than 150,000 acres of hemp promoted by the USDA’s Hemp for Victory propaganda film. Growing hemp was banned in the U.S. in 1957; however, non-psychoactive hemp products have remained available domestically, as the industrial hemp itself is grown and imported from countries where it is legal. A provision included in the passage of this year’s Farm Bill now allows colleges and state agencies to grow hemp for research purposes.

Ed Rosenthal’s Marijuana Growers Handbook clarifies that while hemp is a common name for plants in the entire genus of cannabis, the word typically refers to cannabis strains cultivated for industrial (non-drug) use as they contain minimal amounts of THC.

“Featuring hemp on our cover showcases the return of a fiber truly engrained in fabric of America’s history,” Production Manager Ellen Holland said. “At Cannabis Now Magazine, we promote every aspect of the plant including cannabis as a medicine and hemp for oil and fiber. We push for a full understanding of the cannabis plant.”

Cannabis Now supports Hemp History Week‘s efforts to advocate for further federal policy change and supports their 2014 campaign “Hemp: It’s Time to Grow.”

Cannabis Now Magazine is the only cannabis magazine available in iTunes. The bi-monthly print edition is also nationally distributed in Barnes & Noble, 7-Eleven, dispensaries, head shops, smoke shops, bookstores, and numerous other newsstand outlets including the U.K. and Canada.

Vegetarian Body Builder Power Lifting champion Bill Pearl – Plant Based Protein Muscle Diet as in The China Study – Non Paleo – You were saying
How to grow Hemp
Image by Vegetarian-Vegan-Bodybuilding-Info
Vegetarian Body builder Bill Pearl. "The Original" PowerLifter. Five-Time Mister Universe. Huge massive strength using higher-quality tougher plant based human muscle.

Vegetarians are stronger and have higher-quality tougher muscle. Think about it, a Lion is your typical carnivore yet lions are "feline" which is feminine. Lions get tired easily, become exhausted under the slightest effort, and then have to sleep up to 20 hours a day. Male lions don’t even mainly hunt, hunting is done by ladies. When it comes to carnivores like lions, hunting is the job done by women, the job of female lions. The males are too exhausted and grow fatigued and then get tired and fall asleep after eating. Think about it, their eating meat makes them tired and they fall asleep, the food doesn’t make them have more Energy.

Lions slink around, they’re cats, which are carnivores. When it comes to muscle, lions are large in terms of cats, but are soft. Their muscles are soft, not ripped, or packed solid. Hardly any definition like a horse. Yes, even a horse has more definition and muscle than a lion. And remember, to give you an idea, what do we use to measure when we think of something with a lot of Power today? What do we use as the prime defining measure of a car engine that is immensely powerful? HORSE-POWER. Yes, that’s right! We don’t say how many ‘lion powers’ is your engine? It’d be silly. Because lions, which are carnivores aren’t very strong or powerful.

Rhinos are vegetarian. A rhinoceros can lift up and flip an entire jeep! A lion can’t even lift a car. Ever see one? Picture it. You probably can’t even see how it would even do it. It’d probably sniff it, paw pat it, or bite at it. Then lope away. Whereas a Rhino has 100% plant-based muscle and is so strong it could bull-ram that entire vehicle and dent it, and lift it and flip it over.

Even a cow is stronger. Bulls are cows. Even a bull’s neck muscles are so strong it can lift up a car or truck. The strongest land animal on the face of the earth is the Elephant. It grows to 12-24,000 pounds on plant based protein. Pretty good for the myth that there’s no protein in plants. There’s protein in plants. In fact, plants have more protein in them, than meat. This often dumb-founds lesser-educated steak eaters. Somehow this fact stupefies the meat-eaters brain. They falsely believe that meat is ‘a protein’, that steak contains protein, and that there’s no protein in plants. It’s funny! So they have no idea what to do when you tell them that an elephant grows to 12 to 24-thousand pounds full of protein, from the protein in plants. It eats plants. It eats protein. It has muscle. Not only some, but it’s the very definition of the most-powerful animal on the face of the planet. And every ounce of its muscle protein came from plants. Meat-eaters often get dumbfounded by this.

What happens next, is they try to come up with *something*, some reason concocted to explain it, like there must be some way the elephant is inventing protein though some magic ability it must have, like 4-stomachs. You’ll see that excuse given often. It’s funny but no. Elephants aren’t ruminants. Elephants have 1 stomach, like us! You can’t use the phony 4-stomachs, ruminant, herbivore, whatever excuse here. These are merely dreamt up false dead ends thought up by meat-eaters because they can’t figure out for the life of them that plants contain huge amounts of protein, even more than meat!

And it’s REALLY funny, when you get them to say that they think steak is the utmost, highest, best, most ultimate form of protein!….And then you point out Thanks! You just admitted the best source of protein is Plants! – This is usually followed by…"Huh?? What?". You see…every molecule of that protein, in that steak that the meat-eater just praised himself was the ultimate, came from plants! Cows don’t eat meat! So all that protein in a steak originated in plants to begin with!

The only difference is, steak-eaters are simply eating vegetarians’ "sloppy-seconds". Vegetarians are getting it fresher, and with more nutrients, in its original form. Meat eaters are eating things that have been in an animal’s mouth first. Essentially they put their food into the front of an animal, mixes it with the animals spit and whatever germs and bacteria are in its saliva and chewed up brownish green slime, then it sits in a stomach pouch where it smells awful, afterall, the stomach is the repository of vomit, then it comes out brown and semi-liquid from the other end. That’s what a meat and steak eater is doing. Vegetarians are simply getting the same protein, but more fresh, more original, cleaner, and more pristine, with all the original nutrients and enzymes that are destroyed by meat.

This is why a chimp has the power and 10-times the strength of a man. And think about it, think if you took the biggest human meat-eater bodybuilder, which currently stands around 200-300 pounds or so, and do this…Put them in a cage. And send in a SILVERBACK GORILLA. A Silverback Gorilla weighs upwards of 400, 500, 800 pounds! A Gorilla could beat the living tar out of any human in a natural fight. It’s far more muscular. It could rail and flap that meat-eater around like a rag-doll. Gorillas are vegan! They eat fruit! And…they aren’t herbivores or grass-eaters, they have 1 stomach, they are not ruminants, they are primates, with digestive systems just like us, they have so-called canine teeth inches longer than ours (which are used for Defense, not eating meat), and they are far stronger, bigger, weigh more, and more physically athletic, they share more than 98% DNA identical to us, and they get all their protein from fruit and could mop the floor with any bragging meat-head that thinks you have to eat steak to obtain protein.

Meat-eaters don’t know what to do after this. And then when you point out that virtually every single protein supplement in bodybuilding nutrition stores is vegetarian, they deny, refuse to believe, scoff, hem & haw, and then it’s pointed out to them that all of the protein powders for building muscle are made from WHEY (which is lacto-vegetarian), ALBUMIN (which is ovo-vegetarian) and SOY PROTEIN (which is vegan!). There’s also even Flax protein, Hemp protein, and more! There’s no pork-shakes, jugs of blood, beef flavored protein bars, chickenpills, or protein drinks with pieces of fish floating in it. At about this point, a meat-eating bodybuilder who always believed that the best protein for building muscle came from meat, gets a look on their face like when a dog tilts its head and looks confused when it hears a funny sound. Then they get mad, because they just found out that virtually ALL of the very top ultimate protein sources even those used by nearly every bodybuilder…are VEGETARIAN!

Think about it.

Hemp Medium Density Fiberboard

Hemp Medium Density Fiberboard

In the early 1990’s, C & S Specialty Builder’s Supply (namely Bill Conde, Dave Seber, Barry Davis, and Tim Pate) in Harrisburg, Oregon, imported regulated bales of hemp and began working on a medium density fiberboard (MDF). The evolution of hemp MDF as a viable building supply option began when Bill Conde of C & S took their hemp fiber research and ideas to Paul Maulberg, the head of Washington State University’s Wood Engineering Laboratory.

Conde explains in a 2005 Mycotopia blog, “We asked if [Maulberg] would consider trying some hemp fiber to make some experimental hemp MDF, and his reply was, ‘You bet, hemp is the King Cong of fiber. I would love a chance to work with some.”

Excitedly, Conde and team began the process working with Maulberg on creation and testing of the hemp MDF. It was soon discovered how strong the hemp fiber truly was, as the full-length hemp fibers jammed both of the processing machines and brought things to a standstill. The process for breaking down the fibers was redesigned and restarted with ultimate success.

Explaining the process in his blog, Conde says, “The shortened fiber was worked through their two mills and was made ready to be pressed into MDF.” After being fluffed hemp fibers are dropped into a spinning drum where glue is sprayed to mix with the fibers. Glue and fiber are then placed into a hot press under high pressure. According to Conde, within two attempts they had exceeded all world standards for other types of MDF that used tree fiber.

“It proved to be two and one half times stronger than wood MDF composites, plus hemp composite boards have three times more elasticity than wood composite boards,” said Lynn and Judy Osburn of the North Coast Xpress in 1994, regarding this subject. The hardened hemp boards were considered stronger than steel, with superior water, rot, insect and fire resistant properties.

“The industrial hemp entrepreneurs at C & S Specialty Builders Supply have concluded that the best alternative to wood in construction products is hemp,” said Lynn and Judy Osburn. “They believe hemp has the potential to be vastly superior to wood for everything from lumber to plywood to particle board or any other composite construction material.”

“In fact, the hemp fiberboard met or surpassed every standard industry test by Washington State University Wood Materials and Engineering Laboratory (http://www.wmel.wsu.edu/ ) in Pullman,” stated Tim Pate, when discussing the testing with Hemp News. The WSU laboratory has a long and illustrious history in wood composite materials, design and construction. Since its founding in 1949, the scope of the research, outreach and education programs of the laboratory has expanded beyond wood materials to include other natural fibers, polymers, inorganic cements, masonry and steel, according to the WSU website.

The Oregon Cannabis Tax Act of 2012 feels it is time to take this collaborative work one step further and develop hemp within the industrial community to help stimulate Oregon’s struggling economy. Over time, hemp will add thousands of jobs within the building industry and reduce the deforestation currently taking place across the Pacific Northwest.

The OCTA 2012 will allow farmers to grow cannabis hemp for fuel, fiber and food. OCTA 2012 will also raise an estimated 0 million a year by taxing commercial cannabis sales to adults 21 years of age and older, and save an estimated .5 million in law enforcement, corrections and judicial attention so they can refocus on violent crimes and theft.

Ninety percent of the proceeds from OCTA will go into the state general fund, seven percent for drug treatment programs, one percent each for drug education in public schools, and two new state commissions to promote hemp biofuel, fiber and food.
