Cannabis is natural but not all natural substances or plants are safe... think about lead, tobacco, and poisonous berries as examples. If you are using cannabis to treat other medical conditions during your pregnancy, talk to your prenatal health care provider about alternative treatment options. There is no known safe amount of cannabis use during pregnancy. Cannabis can reach your baby in Any form of cannabis may be bad for your three ways: baby. This includes, but not limited to: through your bloodstream edibles and drinks during pregancy creams or lotions applied to skin through your breastmilk smoking/vaping through secondhand smoke dabbing that enters the baby's lungs Experts such as the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend against using any type of cannabis (including CBD and hemp products) while pregnant or breastfeeding. Research is ongoing, but studies show that cannabis use during pregnancy may be harmful to a baby's health. This may cause a variety of problems including, but not limited to: fetal growth restriction (when a baby doesn't gain the appropriate weight before birth) greater risk of still birth preterm birth (being born before 37 weeks of gestation) low birth rate long-term brain development issues affecting memory, learning and behavior Pumping & Dumping does not work. THC is stored in fat and breast milk contains a lot of fat. Any amount of THC in your system can enter your baby’s body through your milk. THC has been found in breast milk for up to six days after the last recorded use. This can lead to health problems, and even harming their brain development..

Sunn Hemp Shines in New England
Sunn Hemp Shines in Massachusetts Sam Corcoran & Masoud Hashemi Foreground: Testing out sunn hemp as mulch and fertilizer for garlic, fall 2017; Background: a field of flowering sunn hemp before winterkill, early November. Sunn hemp is a new, summer crop for us in the Northeast. Despite its name, Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) is not related to the industrial hemp you may be familiar with (Cannabis sativa). The Sunn Hemp plant bears only a mild resemblance to Cannabis, and is actually a legume in the same family as peas and beans. As a legume, Sunn Hemp has a relationship with bacteria that convert atmospheric nitrogen into plant-available nitrogen. It is believed that this tropical crop has been grown for hundreds of years, and it remains popular in India, Bangladesh, and Brazil. Sunn Hemp can be used for for- age, fiber, or as a green manure to provide nitrogen to subsequently planted crops. Modern interest in Sunn Hemp in the U.S. surged in Hawaii in the 80’s. Research spread across the southern U.S. in the 90’s through present, with Mid-Atlantic States also taking a recent research inter- est. Within just the past 2-3 years, a few seed companies have start- ed readily supplying Sunn Hemp throughout the U.S. Four years ago, we tried planting this crop at the UMass Research Farm and discovered we can grow Sunn Hemp, too. Despite our cooler climate, the hot summers in Massachusetts are sufficient for this tropical crop; in the 2016 drought, Sunn Hemp remained high performing while other crops suffered.

Hemp Testing Guidelines Issued January 15, 2021
Laboratory Testing Guidelines U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program Issued January 15, 2021 Purpose: 1. Standard testing procedures are specified for samples taken in accordance with the Sampling Procedures for the USDA Hemp Production Program to measure the total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration levels of samples on a dry weight basis. 2. The results are intended to measure the total THC concentration of composite hemp samples collected from a “lot” of hemp crop acreage designated by a hemp producer and as reported to USDA as required under the USDA Hemp Production Program. The purpose of the measurements is to determine whether the total THC concentration of the tested material is within the acceptable hemp THC level. Scope: 1. Hemp grown under a USDA, State, or Tribal hemp production plan is subject to sampling and compliance testing for THC concentration. Certain producers, including research institutions and facilities growing immature plants may have different testing requirements depending on the applicable State or Tribal plan and regulations. 2. Tests shall measure the total THC concentration in a sample submitted to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory will perform chemical analysis on the sample using post- decarboxylation or other similarly reliable methods where the total THC concentration level considers the potential to convert delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) into THC. 3. The total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration level shall be determined and reported on a dry weight basis. 4. Laboratories shall calculate and include the Measurement of Uncertainty (MU) when they report THC concentration test results. “Measurement of uncertainty” is defined as “the parameter, associated with the result of a measurement, that characterizes the dispersion of the values that could reasonably be attributed to the particular quantity subject to measurement.” USDA does not establish or standardize an upper or lower boundary for general use by laboratories to calculate a measurement of uncertainty.

Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD) and Related Hemp Extracts
Updated June 21, 2019 Hemp-Derived Cannabidiol (CBD) and Related Hemp Extracts Cannabidiol (CBD) is a plant-derived compound from through a variety of channels, including specialty retailers Cannabis sativa, the species of plant that includes both (e.g., natural grocery stores, tobacco shops, yoga studios), hemp and marijuana, but from different plant varieties or direct-to-consumer online sales, farmers’ markets, herbal cultivars. CBD is the primary nonpsychoactive compound practitioners, and large retailers. in cannabis, whereas tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is cannabis’s primary psychoactive compound. CBD is Figure 1. U.S. Hemp-Based Product Sales, 2017 promoted as treatment for a range of conditions—including epileptic seizures, post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and inflammation—despite limited scientific evidence to substantiate many of these claims. In the United States, CBD is marketed in a range of consumer products—food and beverages, dietary supplements, personal care products, and cosmetics—subject to regulation by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Consumer products containing plant-based CBD are either hemp- or marijuana-derived. Market for Hemp-Derived CBD The 2018 farm bill (Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, P.L. 115-334) included a number of provisions intended to facilitate the commercial cultivation, processing, marketing, and sale of hemp in the United States, expanding on policies enacted in the previous farm bill. It expanded the statutory definition of what constitutes hemp to include: Source: Hemp Business Journal estimates. Percent of gross revenues. Figure 2.

A Bottom up Proposal for a Regulated Cannabis Market
A BOTTOM UP PROPOSAL FOR A REGULATED CANNABIS MARKET By Joep Oomen, European Coalition for Just and Effective Drug Policies Wellcome and thanks for the invitation…. Encod is convinced that a Europe with peace, prosperity, personal rights and freedoms, effective governance, policies aimed at solving problems and not at creating them, is a Europe where the drugsmarket has been regulated. The lack of a legal framework with regards to drugs is one of the pillars of a system that essentially denies human beings legal access to products (some of them even natural products) which are benefitial to their health, physical or mental. Among the many disasters that prohibition of cannabis and other drugs has produced, maybe the worst is that it has destroyed this access, and instead established a market that is almost entirely driven by economic reasons, without taking into account the rights of consumers and producers. This lack of framework is deliberately maintained so on the one hand, power structures can continue to feed themselves with money gained from desperacy, while on the other, power structures can continue to justify fargoing control and intrusion in people’s private life. Drug prohibition is serving the needs of the elite, and therefore it will not be the elite that will be able to stop it. If we want to replace this policy with a sound and healthy alternative, we need to build it ourselves, bottom up. Since more than a decade, citizens allover Europe have started to use the loopholes in the absurd drug law to create this alternative. Wellcome to the Cannabis Social Club! Cannabis Social Clubs organise the collective cultivation of an amount of cannabis that is exclusively meant for the private consumption of their members.

Various oriental and Asian cultures kept records of its production and numerous uses. Due to the similarities between industrial hemp (fiber and grain) and the narcotic/medical type of Cannabis, the production of industrial hemp was prohibited in most countries, wiping out centuries of learning and genetic resources. In the past two decades, most countries have legalized industrial hemp production, prompting a significant amount of research on the health benefits of hemp and hemp products. Current research is yet to verify the various health claims of the numerous commercially available hemp products.
