Many farmers in Colorado will be expanding their list of planted crops this Spring after groundbreaking legislation was passed last November that allowed not only for the legalization of marijuana, but hemp as well. Now in case youre not familiar, hemp is actually a multi-purpose substance that does not produce the high effects of marijuana. In fact, its mainly used as a super cheap and highly efficient building material at least in other nations where ridiculous bans are not enforced on the high-free material.
Colorado farmers like Michael Bowman will be planting 100 acres of hemp to be harvested and sold off as not only building material, but a highly nutritious superfood. While marijuana is considerably high in the substance known as THC (delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol), which of course is the compound that produces the high effects, its also significantly low in whats known as CDB (cannabidiol). Thats where hemp comes in. Both THC and CDB are known as cannabinoids, but hemp is particularly high in CDB while lacking in THC.
Hemp as a Superfood, Industry Transformer
These cannabinoids have actually been promoted by many first hand sources as not only a health optimizing substance, but a serious solution to cancer. One popular documentary titled Run from the Cure by Rick Simpson, which is available for free on Youtube, focuses on the use of hemp oil to conquer cancer.
