Hemp Industry is Hampered by THC Testing and Asking Congress to Step In
The 2018 Farm Bill was a big win for the hemp industry as a whole. The bill made it legal to grow industrial hemp in the United States. It was a big step forward but it was still farm from perfect in the eyes of hemp farmers. As part of the Farm Bill hemp farmers across the nation are required to pass THC tests. The current THC limit is only 0.3%. The 0.3% mark can be difficult to manage depending on many factors but the restrictions on testing sites are even more problematic for some. Hemp farm...[Read More]

Legislative Update: A Flurry of Hemp Bills from Several States
As we were informed by the US Hemp Roundtable, seven states have taken action on hemp bills varying in status from newly proposed to passed, and as usual, it’s a mixed bag. A rash of bills introduced in Florida over the past several months sought to impose an age restriction on ingestible hemp sales in the state (21 to buy), but all were defeated by the Roundtable, including one that tried to sidestep the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, which oversees hemp regulation in the stat...[Read More]

Shining a Light on the Thailand Cannabis Community
Thailand hasn’t always prohibited cannabis; it’s part of the culture. Ganja plants were typically grown on the side of the house and used in traditional Thai medicine and Thai massage.

The U.S. illicit market fueled Thai Stick exports, which came from U.S. soldiers based in the Kingdom during the Vietnam War. At the time, there was no legal or moral taboo surrounding the pla...[Read More]

Cannabis Legalization in New Hampshire Is Dealt Another Setback
It looked like there might be hope for progress to be made on legalizing cannabis in New Hampshire. Two bills were passed by the New Hampshire House of Representatives earlier this year. On April 28th the New Hampshire Senate voted both bills down. One of the bills would have allowed possession of cannabis and also allowed individuals to grow cannabis at home. The other bill was poised to legalize adult-use cannabis within the state. With this most recent setback, it seems likely that New Hamps...[Read More]
USDA Floats Idea of 2nd Survey of Hemp Farmers in 2022
The first time around the USDA sent out 20,000 surveys to hemp farmers across the United States.

Differences Between Indoor and Outdoor Weed
We’ve looked over a few of the main aspects of indoor and outdoor growing. How you grow relies largely on which part of the world you live in but also on why you are growing.
