CBD Tips: Dosing, drug complications and more Christina: 01:10 Hi, I am just researching this now. My cousin has been a nurse, she’s just retired, a nurse all her life, and she’s taking CBD oil or tincture. I’m not sure what the difference is yet, but she’s taking 3.3 milligrams a day I believe, or per serving. So as I’m going through your bottles, I’m seeing that, 300 to a thousand, to 2,500 whatever in a 30 milliliter bottle. So in a 30 milliliter bottle, is that to be taken twice a day and how many days would that last? Would that be a 30 day amount? Christina: 02:11 Anyway, I’m just kind of trying to figure out the difference between tincture oil, how many servings a person normally would take. I had to quit taking naproxin, which was helping me from arthritis in my back and neck and that’s mainly what I was trying to find something for sur

Speaker 2: 00:10 Hemp For Victory. Matt Baum: 00:18 It was one of those World War 2 propaganda films. it’s up on Youtube right now if you search for it. World War II was coming to a close and hemp was looked at as a miracle crop that made fire hoses, it made parachutes, it made shoes for troops, it made rope for battleships, it was going to win the war. And shortly thereafter, the same miracle crop that the US government said was going to help us win World War II, would up and vanish from American farm fields. Matt Baum: 00:49 The history of hemp in America, this is the Ministry of Hemp podcast, my name is Matt Baum. Matt Baum: 00:54 The FDA has been holding some meetings to hear from people and how different states are going to handle their plans for growing hemp. In doing so, there’s been a lot of discussion. And namely, how are you going to make sure that American farmers are protected. Protected in the sense that there’s a lot of hemp that’s imported from overseas, mainly Europe. And American farmers want some reassurances that we’re going to do this the right way, and make sure that no only are we taking care of the plant, but taking care of the people that are growing the plant. FOCUSING ON AMERICAN GROWN HEMP Matt Baum: 01:41 I sat down for a talk with the senior editor for GreenEntrepreneur.com, Peter Page, who wrote an article about farmers trying to make sure that only CBD from American grown hemp is legal.

Matt Baum: 00:17 Today on the show we are going to get into some more science; we’re going to talk about extraction. First we’re going into what we’re trying to extract, and then we’re going to talk about one of the ways to extract it.

More About the Hemp Supply Chain Here are some articles which explain more about the hemp industry: CBD Supply Chain: How the Hemp Industry Is All ConnectedThe Challenges Of Growing Hemp in AmericaFull Traceability — From Seed to Shelf: The Key to Finding the Best Hemp CBD Product Episode Transcript Matt Baum: 00:01 How often do you think we go to the grocery store a week? If you had to guess? Casey: 00:05 Three times. Matt Baum: 00:05 Three times. Because we don’t have kids, and we don’t plan that well. Right? Casey: 00:09 We’ve been better. We usually go on Sunday. Matt Baum: 00:11 That’s true. Casey: 00:11 And then maybe once… I would say, okay. Yeah, once during the week and the farmers market. So yeah three times. Matt Baum: 00:16 Okay. So what do you think at the grocery store produce wise, what do you think is the hardest thing to get to the grocery store from the farmer? If you had to guess. Don’t say Brussel sprouts. Casey: 00:32 I was going to go with beets this time. Matt Baum: 00:33 Beets? I would have said something like avocados. Casey: 00:37 Oh yeah. Okay. Matt Baum: 00:38 Because avocados come from- Casey: 00:40 Mexico. Matt Baum: 00:40 Mainly from Mexico and drug lords were controlling it. What if I were to tell you that even with drug lords controlling avocados coming in the United States there was a product that’s even harder to get to market and it’s grown right here in the United States, and it’s not illegal. Casey: 01:00 I’d believe that. Matt Baum: 01:01 You’re terrible. I’m talking here with my wife, Casey, and she works for a local university medical school. She works in science outreach and public relations. I’m not mentioning the name of the school because hemp is still a touchy subject in Nebraska. It’s legal, but we don’t really have a state plan for it yet. So let me ask you this. Casey: 01:30 Yes. Matt Baum: 01:30 Would you believe me if I told you that it was easier to get marijuana, which is still completely illegal than it is to legally get hemp in Nebraska? Casey: 01:41 Oh yeah. I believe you 100%. Matt Baum: 01:43 It’s ridiculous, right? Casey: 01:44 Yeah. That seems really silly. Matt Baum: 01:50 This is Matt Baum and you’re listening to the Ministry of Hemp Podcast.

On March 29th, I was in Colorado for the two day Northern Colorado Hemp Expo, the largest hemp expo in the United States. The NoCo Hemp Expo started about six years ago, this was NoCo6. And just like anything else, it started pretty small. NoCo was put on by the Colorado Hemp Company, which is a division of WAFBA which stands for We Are Better For Alternatives, which I’m assuming means alternatives to wood, alternatives to plastic. Matt Baum: The basic idea was to get people that are excited about hemp and what you can do with it under one roof. To show it off, not just for industry people, but for people that want to know where this is going. It started very small, and now it has grown to huge size. 10,000 people plus attended NoCo6 this year. I was one of them, and today we’re going to explore my NoCo audio [inaudible 00:01:48]. Let me tell you, I was not prepared for what I walked into. Matt Baum: This year’s NoCo Hemp Expo took place at the Crown Plaza Hotel, just next door to Denver International Airport. As we walked in, we had to check in to get our media badges and whatnot, and there was this really long hall we walked down with a ton of people.Okay we made it we’re in Colorado. Everyone seemed really nervous. I struck up this conversation with a very nice woman while I was walking down the hall. Matt Baum: There is a ton of people here. Are we going the right way? Speaker 1: The expo hall’s this way. I know it’s really confusing. Matt Baum: Like what’s that huge line for? Do you know? Speaker 3: To get registered for the conference passes. Speaker 2: When I went to buy my conference pass they were sold out and I booked my arrangements at the end of February. Matt Baum: Who you with? Speaker 2: Black River Hemp Company.

Matt: Last time on the show we were talking about eating hemp and how to introduce it into your diet, but that hemp has got to come from somewhere. So today on the show we are going to look at hemp farming and the challenges that American hemp farmers face. Matt: Now, I’m sure you’ve heard that recently the 2018 Farm Bill passed, and that Farm Bill allowed farmers to start growing industrial hemp. The Farm Bill defines hemp as cannabis that contains less than .3 per cent THC. I’d love to tell you that was it and farmers everywhere are rejoicing, but there’s not quite hemp gold in those fields yet, son. Matt: Now that the government is involved, that means Uncle Sam has some rules and regulations that he’s going to need farmers in all 50 states to follow if they want to get in on growing hemp. Towards the end of last month, the FDA and the USDA made some announcements that they were going to open the floor to listen to representatives and their plans for how their states would like to grow hemp, sort of like the meeting of the committee to form a committee if you will. Matt: Of course there’s going to be lots of rules and regulations coming down, now I am not a lawyer, I only pretend to be one on my comic book show every once in a while. Not here, this is serious stuff. So I found the next best thing. Jen Price D.C.: Hi, I’m doctor Jen Price, D.C., I am the director of state compliance at Golden State Government Relations and I work with people on regulatory compliance for cannabis, and as hemp has become the big hot topic, we are transitioning towards helping folks with hemp as well. Matt: Jen is great, she is a super passionate cannabis activist, she is a doctor of chiropractic, and she knows her way around these legal rules and regulations pretty good, so I have made her the official Ministry of Hemp legal consultant. Bad news Jen, I’m afraid it doesn’t pay well. Jen Price D.C.: I just want to say, before I go into any of this, I am not a lawyer. I work in regulation and compliance so we are following all of this, I do work with all of this, but nothing I’m saying here is legal advice. Matt: Okay, so unlike lawyers you’re not full of B.S. is what you’re saying? Jen Price D.C.: Right, I’m just going to give it to you straigh

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Matt: 00:04 Hey this is Matt with the Ministry of Hemp podcast welcoming you to episode two. Matt: 00:10 Now today you might notice I sound a little bit different because we’re going to be talking about hemp in food. So it only seems right to maybe start this show in my kitchen. And that’s where we are. Matt: 00:21 I’m here with my sous chef, a little black pug named Mable and we are making a hemp scramble for breakfast. It’s Sunday morning, super cold outside and I’m putting off shoveling. So why not make a protein packed scramble with some CBD goodness, to get the day started? Matt: 00:39 So we’re starting with a shallot. If you don’t know what a shallot is, a shallot is like an onion, times two. They’re amazing. They’re purple. I’m going to use half of one because I’m only making food for me today. Although, this little pug tends to get a little bit every time too. Matt: 00:54 From there, got some spinach that we’re going to chop up. This is a scramble so we’ve got some fresh, washed spinach. I’ve got some green onions. And I’m just going to rough chop this spinach. Do sort of a rough chop on the shallots as well. I like having big pieces of shallots in there. Matt: 01:20 Always wash your spinach. Even if you wash it when you first bought it, wash it again. It’s just a safe thing to do. Matt: 01:26 From there, I’m going to crack our eggs. Using three of them. Crack your egg on a flat surface, that’s going to prevent you from getting shells into your scrambled eggs. Matt: 01:42 And then another little trick I learned back when I was working in a hotel. You know how hotel eggs are always yellow and fluffy and huge? The trick is fat. So we are going to add just about a tablespoon of sour cream into our eggs. And then from there, we’re going to whip them up real good. And this is an important step because not only are we whipping the sour cream into the eggs, whipping air into the eggs too. And that’s what’s going to make them fluffy. Matt: 02:17 Get them good and whipped. The sour cream isn’t going to completely break down in there, but you will see it start to mix with the eggs real well. Just about ready here. I’m going to put a pinch of salt directly into the eggs. Matt: 02:42 And now we’re going to get into the action. So now, we head over to the stove. And this is where the hemp oil comes in. If you’re making eggs traditionally, you need butter. I’m using one tablespoon of melted butter. I’ve got my pan on the heat, just about medium. You don’t want to go too hot. Matt: 02:59 And because I am using full spectrum hemp oil, this

EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Matt Baum: Hi, my name’s Matt Baum, and I’m excited to welcome you to episode number one of the Ministry of Hemp podcast, brought to you by America’s leading advocate for hemp, ministryofhemp.com. If you’ve been to the site, then you already know how cool it is. It’s full of all kinds of information, recipes, interviews, news, virtually anything that you want to know about hemp is there. It’s curated by my buddy Kit, who is an amazing journalist and does a wonderful job. Kit is going to be a frequent guest on the show. In fact, he is going to talk a little bit about what is hemp in a few minutes here. Before we get to that, with this being episode number one, I thought we should introduce some very basic things, starting with me, the host, and how I came to bring hemp into my life. Matt’s story My name is Matt Baum. I’m 43 years old. I’m also the host of the Two-Headed Nerd Comic Book podcast. If you’re a nerd, check that out. You’ll probably dig it. For the last 30 years of my life or so, I’ve been playing drums as a musician, I’ve been working professionally in kitchens as a cook, and taking side gigs as a copywriter and freelance journalist. What do all those things have in common? Repetitive motion, basically. Now I played in a lot of very loud bands, punk rock bands, hardcore bands. I also played in some much quieter bands, but the point being I was always hitting drums, hitting cymbals, and injuring myself. I never learned how to play. I never took lessons. I sat down at the drums and just started playing one day. And in doing so, some of my favorite musicians were guys like Keith Moon, Tommy Lee, guys that hammered their drums. I just thought they put on an amazing show, so that’s what I did. I beat the hell out of my drums. I put on a show every time. With that, I beat the hell out of my hands, too. When I wasn’t drumming and touring in bands, I was at home working in kitchens, cooking. The good things about being a musician and a cook is whenever you’re not touring, there’s always cooking jobs available. But with those cooking jobs comes a lot of chopping, a lot of peeling, a lot of hand work, a lot of small, minute, finger work that really wears on you, not to mention the cutting, the burns, and the myriad of other injuries you can sustain while cooking. Needless to say, my hands weren’t getting any better. And then one day, I got into a car accident. I got hit head-on by a woman that crossed four lanes of traffic. It would turn out that she was a cab driver that had had a stroke behind the wheel while driving. She side-swiped a cop car in front of me which probably saved my life and slowed her down a little bit before plowing into my tiny, little Honda Civic. I was young and I was stupid, so I didn’t have a safety belt on at the time. My head hit the windshield. My right hand went through the dash, and my knee went into the lower part of the dash. I was supposed to leave and go on tour two weeks later with the band and had to canc
