Of course, a billion or two is a droplet in the tank of our national economy — and the new spending on that industry is diverted from spending elsewhere, so it is really not a great net creator for other than the individuals in that particular business.

Of course, we get so much Omega-6 elsewhere in our diet that a higher Omega-3 would be better coming from hemp oil, or any other addition to what we eat.

I live in Kentucky and I was always led to believe hemp, when legal, would be a large cash crop here. My father-in-law had a hemp quota in WWII. I have seen or heard zero about hemp or hemp start ups in rural Kentucky.

Hemp is not psychoactive.

Thanks for the recipe! I will try it for sure. At this point I’m willing to try almost anything.

I highly-recommend bone broth and a high-quality collagen supplement to aid in your healing.

Ironically, hemp is doing better than marijuana. Weed is selling wholesale for about $35 an oz in Oregon and there is a tremendous amount of supply.

Hemp must have less than .3% THC or it gets destroyed.

You do realize that the ALA profile for omega 3 means that there is only about 5% available for absorption, don’t you?

There are so many falsehoods used on foods and drinks with flax and chia it’s become an urban myth that humans can digest ALA like animals. It’s false labeling that remains unchallenged.

To the contrary, it’s expensive fiber . Hemp is in this category, as with its seeds with a compromising profile of omega 6.

Thank-you! I’m discouraged with it but the doctor said healing would be slow. I’m so active that it’s been really difficult trying to stay in shape with a bad foot.
