Colorado Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) Spotlights Hemp-based Building Materials

All of hemp supporting interest s are applauding all efforts to expand cultivation and use of industrial hemp in the United States.

With the recent disclosure of Western Sierra Resource Corp.’s intent to purchase a 44-acre multi-use property in the Hemp Agro-Industrial Zone (HAIZ) of Northwest Colorado, there is opportunity for all stakeholders in the hemp industry.

According to a recent news release, Western Sierra Resource Corp. has signed a Definitive Agreement with Global Hemp Group and plans to “attract and showcase industrial hemp and related green/carbon neutral-negative building technologies to the world.”

Beginning this year, approximately 30 acres of the HAIZ will be seeded with up to five different strains for the initial hemp cultivation test. The focus will be on environmentally-friendly construction materials, nano-fertilizers and enhanced extraction from hemp.

Hemp Has Become A Viable Competitor with Lumber.

The site is expected to utilize and showcase hemp-based building materials and as many green economy technologies as possible in order to “attract and support green community stakeholders, and government and industry support and partnerships,” the release stated.

COA’S – Don’t Pay Without the COA for Your CDB

What is a certificate of analysis?

A certificate of analysis (COA) is a lab report on the chemical make-up (e.g., contents) of a product. In the context of Industrial Hemp extracts, the COA reports on the cannabinoid, terpene, and contaminant profile of CBD products. COA’s are used to verify that the contents of the product are matched to how it is advertised. These reports are important for verifying that hemp extracts have less than 0.3% THC by weight, as determined by the definition of Industrial Hemp in the law. OUR Premium, THC-Free products are supported by COA’s such as the one shown below, which indicate ‘non-detect’ levels of THC. Also, tests are carried out to check for dangerous compounds such as heavy metals or pesticides and reported in the certificate to ensure the safety of the consumers.

Why are COAs important? A study conducted in 2017 found that almost 70% of online CBD products are mislabeled, either having substantially more or less CBD than advertised. For nutraceutical applications, knowing the exact potency and ingredients is extremely important. For example, manufacturers could claim a CBD product contains no THC, or claim a certain potency in their product, but since there is little oversight, the opportunity to “fudge the numbers” is compounded. This could be a major issue for people who are choosing products without THC in order to avoid its psychoactive side effects or pass a drug test because of a job. In an unregulated industry, with new CBD companies popping up everywhere, it is difficult for customers to know exactly what they are paying for. Labeling alone is not reliable, especially when products are sold online to customers who do not fully understand the ins and outs of the industry. This is the reason COA’s are standard practice for reliable, law-abiding CBD manufacturers. They create transparency for consumers as well as regulators to clearly identify exactly what is and is not inside a given hemp extract.

How do I find the COA for my CBD product?

There are a few ways to find COAs. Most companies will include them on their website, or provide them to customers upon request. Make sure they are up to date and match the batch number listed on your product. Indiana, Texas, Utah, and Florida have passed state laws that require QR codes on all CBD products. Although other states have not yet passed similar laws, most CBD companies are transitioning to include QR codes on their packaging to increase transparency and make it easy for customers to find this information. Customers can use their phones to scan the code on the package and link directly to the COA specific to the product that the code is printed on.

How do I read a COA?

CBD hemp third party certificate of analysis COA for hempSmart

Certificate Of Analysis (COA) Page 1 of 8 Be sure all pages are represented. This page shows company and product description.

The first thing you want to check on a COA is that the company who performed the lab test is not the same company who is selling the product. This is called a ‘third party’ test and it is to ensure transparency in the results. If it was only tested by the company selling the product, there could be bias in the report. *This description is specific to the example COA provided by this third-party lab. COAs may vary from lab to lab, but all of the elements described should be present, regardless of format. On the top left, there is information to identify the sample and batch which it came from. On the top right, the address and contact information of the company selling the product is listed. The QR code in the top center can be scanned by anyone to verify the authenticity of the report. It links to the lab that performed the analysis so consumers can cross check to make sure the COA was not fabricated.

The bottom half of the first page shows the cannabinoid profile of the sample, listing the cannabinoids which were detected as well as their concentration. This is probably the most important section of the COA because it tells consumers exactly which cannabinoids are present and at what potency. The ID column of the chart indicates which cannabinoids were tested for. D9-THC is the psychoactive component which must be lower than .3 weight % (middle column) in order for it to be legal. ‘ND’ stands for ‘non-detect’ meaning there was such a miniscule amount, if any, in the sample that the laboratory instruments could not detect it.

Essentially, this means it is not present in the product.

Our products which are all labeled THC-Free are tested to have ND levels of THC. This specific report is analyzing a CBD oil said to have no THC, which is reflected in this table. CBD, CBDV, and CBG were detected in the analysis and their concentration is reported in milligrams per gram of the product. This ‘Conc.’ column is the potency of the tested CBD oil, which should be compared to the CBD concentrations advertised on the label of the product.

On the right of the chart is a bar graph corresponding to the relative amounts of the various cannabinoids in the product sample.

Page 2 of this COA
Showing the Major and Minor Findings

THC-Free broad spectrum hemp oils should have CBD, other cannabinoids such as CBG or CBN, but non-detect levels of THC. Full spectrum hemp extracts should have many cannabinoids including D9-THC, as long as the THC weight % is below 0.3%. Heavy Metal Analysis hemp derived CBD oil third party certificate of analysis for pesticide analysis The heavy metal analysis chart indicates which metals were tested for with the chemical symbol and name. ‘Conc.’ is the concentration of the metal measured in the sample. ‘Units’ refers to the measurement size, in this case micrograms per kilogram (1,000,000,000 micrograms in 1 kilogram). MDL is the lower limit of detection for the lab instruments. ‘Use Limits’, the most important of which being ‘Ingestion’, is the amount determined by the state Department of Public Health and U.S. Pharmacopeia that is safe to ingest per day. In the case of this report, lead is the only metal detected and it is well below the allowed limit. 11 micrograms per kilogram were detected while the standardized safety limit is 1000. Pesticide Analysis hemp derived CBD oil third party certificate of analysis for pesticide analysis.

Another report in the COA is the pesticide analysis, which lists a number of common pesticides tested for in the sample. The unit in this case is ‘ppb’ or parts per billion. LLD is the “lower limit of detection” based on each specific pesticide, and the ‘Limits’ column is the maximum amount allowed for consumption based on safety regulations established in the State of California (these values may vary slightly depending on the specific state or federal guidelines identified in the report). The ‘Status’ column indicates PASS if the sample is under the legal limit or NO PASS if the levels are above the limit. In this report, no pesticides were detected.

The terpene profile analysis shows which terpenes were detected in the sample and the relative amount of each by weight percent. Terpenes are what give hemp products their unique flavors and aromas. The variation in kind and abundance can give consumers information on how it may smell or taste.

Don’t Pay Without the COA

In an industry that is quickly expanding with limited regulation, it is extremely important that as a consumer, you know exactly what you are purchasing.

Certificates of analysis provide transparency and assurance to consumers so they can be confident in what they are buying.

Although COAs vary in appearance depending on the lab, the basic information presented in this article should be present on any third party

COA. Dates and product batch numbers should be listed so consumers can make sure that the report is up to date and specific to the batch that their product is from. The cannabinoid profile should match the product description, including the type of extract (broad spectrum, full spectrum, etc.) and potency of the product.

Heavy metal and pesticide analysis can be used to ensure that the hemp was grown safely and its extract is safe to consume.

Companies which do not provide up to date certificates of analysis should be avoided.

COA fraud also exists in the industry and precautions should be taken in order to make sure your COA has not been fabricated.

CBD – Daily Dose – How To Begin and Do Your Research

CBD has many health benefits that you have probably heard about. Many claims have been made, while others say that that they did not seem to have any benefits at all. Many variables enter into the equation of how much to take, the method you take CBD and even IF it is CBD. Assuming that you have done your homework and the 3rd party testing shows a true Broad Spectrum CBD, then the question is, how much should you take to feel those benefits??

Use This Link To Be Directed To Our Story For Mother’s Day and Learn About The Various CBD Products And What Is Really In or Not In Them!!!

Cannabidiol Molecule is absent the THC Addition and thus Legal at Federal Level. HempSmart Product Line is THC Free

CBD isn’t psychoactive — meaning it won’t get you “high.” Instead, research suggests that it may help: reduce anxiety and depression improve sleep soothe pain and inflammation improve heart health improve symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)

No matter what condition you’re trying to treat with CBD, giving yourself an adequate dosage is key — or it might not work for you.

It can be tough to figure out how much CBD you should take, as CBD isn’t currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and there are no official recommended dosages.

Here’s what you need to know about figuring out how much CBD to take.

What the research says about CBD –

CBD has been the subject of a lot of discussion and research over the past few years. As current review shows, a great deal of research has found that it’s a relatively safe treatment.

The studies analyzed in that review didn’t show that there’s one universal dosage of CBD that everyone should take. Instead, it underscored the fact that different people (and, in the animal studies, different animals) respond to different dosages of CBD.

Most of the human studies use dosages anywhere between 20 and 1,500 milligrams (mg) per day.

It’s worth remembering that there’s still a lot about CBD that we don’t know. As the cannabis industry grows, researchers will likely conduct more studies on cannabis, including marijuana and hemp, and its derivatives.

Figuring out the right amount for you The amount of CBD you should take depends on a range of factors, including: your body weight the condition you’re treating your individual body chemistry the concentration of CBD in each pill, capsule, drop, or gummy.

In other words, there are a lot of variables that go into deciding how much CBD to take.

Note to those unsure: Before trying CBD, be sure to talk to your doctor about an appropriate dosage and any potential risks. If your doctor tells you how much to use, stick to their recommendation. This is especially important if you’re taking a prescription medication that contains CBD, such as Epidiolex, a form of seizure medication.

If your doctor doesn’t provide a recommendation, it’s best to start with a smaller dosage and gradually increase it.

This could mean starting with 20 to 40 mg a day.

After a week, increase this amount by 5 mg. Continue this until you feel that it’s effectively treating your symptoms.

For example, you might start off with 40 mg to treat severe pain. You can take 40 mg on days when you’re in a lot of pain. After a week, you increase it to 45 mg, and after a second week, you use 50 mg. At this point, you might feel that your pain is bearable. It might be wise to keep track of how much CBD you’re taking and whether your symptoms are getting better. Write it down on paper or in a notes app on your phone.

SUMMARY Start with a small dosage of CBD and increase slowly until you reach your desired effect. Your ideal dosage of CBD depends on a lot of factors, like your body weight, body chemistry, the condition you’re treating, and the concentration of CBD in the product you’re using. How to calculate dosage Some products, such as CBD gummies, capsules, or pills, tell you how much is in a single serving. For example, the packaging on a bottle of CBD capsules might indicate that there are 5 mg of CBD per capsule. If you’re using CBD oil, it’ll likely come in a dropper bottle. The packaging might specify how much CBD is in a single drop. From there, you can figure out how many drops you need to use.

Sometimes it’s harder to figure out how much CBD is in one drop because the packaging specifies the total amount of CBD in the entire bottle, but not the amount that will be in a single drop.

One drop is about 0.05 milliliters (mL). That is, not a full dropper — just a single drop. This means that a 10-mL bottle of CBD oil contains 200 drops. And if the packaging for that 10-mL bottle says that the bottle contains 1,000 mg of CBD, each drop will contain about 5 mg of CBD. So, to have 20 mg of that type of CBD oil, you should take four drops.

Is it possible to take too much CBD?

A 2017 review on the safety and side effects of CBD found that continuous use of CBD, even in high doses like 1,500 mg a day, is tolerated well by humans. An update to this review also confirmed this. However, a 2019 study done on mice did raise some safety concerns about CBD’s potential for liver damage and its interactions with other medications. If you’re currently taking medication and would like to try CBD, it’s essential to discuss that are very few known side effects of CBD. When side effects do occur, however, they may include diarrhea, appetite changes, and fatigue. Possible side effects fatigue diarrhea changes in appetite changes in weight. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to buy CBD, you can find many CBD brands online.

But make sure you research each brand before purchasing.

100% Happiness Guaranteed by Inspirational Technologies

While pure, genuine CBD is considered safe, fake and low-quality products can be dangerous. CBD isn’t regulated by the FDA, so it’s up to you to make sure that you’re only using high-quality products. Look for products from a reputable brand with third-party testing, and avoid companies that have a history of inaccurate labeling.

A 2018 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) noted that 52 Utah residents had bad reactions to certain CBD products. It turned out that most of them used products that included synthetic CBD.

Some products contained no information about the manufacturer or its ingredients.

Want to learn more? Is CBD Legal?

Hemp-derived CBD products (with less than 0.3 percent THC) are legal on the federal level, but are still illegal under some state laws. Marijuana-derived CBD products are illegal on the federal level, but are legal under some state laws. Check your state’s laws and those of anywhere you travel. Keep in mind that nonprescription CBD products are not FDA-approved, and may be inaccurately labeled.

Hemp, “The Crop of the Future”. Florida Hemp Market Surge to $30B Industry?

Florida hemp market could surge to $30B industry.

This week marks the one year anniversary of Florida’s state hemp program. as the Company continues its massive expansion in the state. in order to build numerous hemp growing and processing facilities in Florida due to its booming hemp market estimated to surge to $30 billion.

Some are even calling it “the crop of the future”.

Overseen by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (FDACS), “the department and its Office of Cannabis manage and regulate Florida’s hemp program and cannabis products, including CBD.”

According to a news source, “hemp has given a boost to the Sunshine State.”

Florida’s prime climate is right for hemp so it’s really just a matter of ensuring that there are proper processing facilities once the hemp has been harvested. There is a need in equipping Florida hemp farmers with the infrastructure they need to ensure the success of hemp in the state.

Using Hemp As A Rotational Crop Can Detoxify The Soil, Provide Stability, Hemp Helps Florida 2021

Thus far, “hemp in Florida has created an estimated $370 million economic impact, supported over 9,000 jobs, and generated over $17 million in federal, state, and local tax revenue.”

Florida’s Agricultural Commissioner expects this year to have an increase in multicultural public education and outreach on the benefits of hemp.

There will be support needs in the state of Florida in order to support their hemp producers, processors, and retailers as demand continues to expand.

Hemp Leading Companies are becoming players in Florida that will help hemp farmers avoid a lot of the pitfalls they’ve faced in other states.

Nikki Fried -Florida Agriculture Commissioner 2021

“We will also advance research and testing, ensuring Florida hemp products meet the rigorous quality and safety standards that the law requires and consumers deserve. I’m proud of our department’s work on this new green economic driver, and I believe that Floridians will enjoy the benefits of this commodity for generations to come. The sky’s the limit for Florida hemp and we’re very excited about year two,” said Commissioner Fried.

This infrastructure is important for Florida hemp farmers, as the FDACS has approved more than 800 hemp cultivation permits for farmers in 65 of Florida’s 67 counties, with more than 30,000 acres approved for planting.

Cannabidiol (CBD) Inhibits COVID-19 Replication and Promotes the Host Innate Immune Response, Study Says

In a study undergoing peer review, the CBD compound from cannabis has been found to stop COVID-19 replication in lung epithelial cells, suggesting the plant medicine holds yet another astounding quality.

Furthermore, observational data from patients who were taking CBD before they were tested for coronavirus showed that its use was associated with a significantly lower infection incidence rate than those not taking CBD.

Measured together with its metabolite 7-OH-CBD, cannabidiol (CBD) inhibited the expression of certain genes within the viral cells, and reversed changes in gene expression within the lung cells resulting from the presence of COVID-19—

in other words it had both a protective and a therapeutic role.

It was also found to block viral RNA expression, including the coding for the spike protein, the tool with which the virus enters our cells.

Another crucial finding was that CBD “effectively reversed” the triggering of a hyperinflammatory response—the so-called “cytokine storm” brought on by the presence of the virus, restoring cells not to a previral level of inflation, but a state as if the cells had been treated with CBD alone.

Cytokine storm is one of the principal causes of death resulting from a COVID-19 infection.

A range of other cannabinoids were also tested, but by trial’s-end only CBD was found to have any effect at all on COVID-19-infected cells.

“We advocate carefully designed placebo-controlled clinical trials with known concentrations and highly-characterized formulations in order to define CBD’s role in preventing and treating early SARS-CoV-2 infection,” the authors recommend.

A preprint of the study is available in the journal Bio RXIV while it goes under peer review.
