Grind and mix to your desired effect.

I'm wondering how hemp would work for people who juice.

Trucker, I think ditchweed is VERY valuable. But, obviously, not for getting high. I suspect the ditchweed gene pool is a lost treasure that needs to be recovered. Fortunately, Cannabis, is a remarkable survivor plant. It adapts to almost anything. Ditchweed is feral which means it escaped from cultivation and has learned to get along without human intervention. The genes are all still there. I think it is mostly descended from the legendary Kentucky hemp of the 19th century which was improved through the 1920s and spread all over the midwest.

I want seeds. Send me seeds and lets see if we can revive Kentucky hemp and improve it. I want to make a strain good for fiber uses, food uses, and high CBD for medicinal uses.

Seeds, I want ditchweed seeds. Screw THC. You can get that anywhere.

Right on oldchuck, although I still like My Thc, just not that nessacary for the medical use's I am seeking.

Peace; 1TT

I have spoken with these guys in the phone. If you can get through the chick that answers the phone, and talk to one of the techs, or the owner, he's a pretty sharp guy.
I spoke with him last month, and at the time, he was working out an agreement with one of the major shipping companies, to have samples sent to them 100%, on the up and up.
I don't know how that translates to crossing state lines, but they should be able to tell you.
These guys do all the testing in Wa., as far as I know.

I'm off in the mountains near the East coast and very much looking forward to having some nearby lab access. Soon I hope. Hemp is now legal here and I fully intend to grow it. I'm working on building a seed stock right now. It is very easy to get a hemp grower license here. You go down to the Agriculture department, tell them where you will be growing, allow them to inspect and test if they want to, and pay $25. That's it. Minimal bureaucratic BS.

I ran across this article yesterday:

https://tokesignals.com/wild-hemp-gro...braska-photos/

Some great pictures. The writer, Steve Elliott, says:

Wild, or “landrace” strains of hemp continue to flourish beautifully in Nebraska to this day, and these hardy cultivars, bred for fiber production and adaptation to the Midwestern climate, would make some great breeding stock for tomorrow’s inevitable strains of American-grown hemp, once the insanity of our current prohibition becomes a historical footnote.

There is so much potential within the genetics of these plants, not only for future industrial fiber production, but also because many of them contain high levels of cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its medicinal and healthful effects.

Who knows how many great new medicinal and recreational strains could be produced by crossing these hardy, pest- and disease-resistant varieties with their high-THC cousins?

What are some respected labs that do Mj. testing, and what does this kind of testing cost?

$120 to $160 @ Steephill Labs, near Harborside in Oakland, CA, around 2009.

Josh has since left & started SC Labs, not sure what they charge.

Thx 4 Tha info RoadRash.

When hemp was made illegal most KY hemp seeds were lost. When WW2 broke out the govt. brought in hemp seeds from Brazil. So who knows what's growing in KY ditches to this day.

Citation needed, Hank.

After this year's harvest I collected some industrial hemp from the fields, the plants the harvesting machines left alone.

I am preparing RSO which is high in THC and low (close to zero) in CBD.
As I wanted to add-in some CBD I prepared RSO from the industrial hemp.

In my experience the yield is very low.
Between 1 and 2% of the dried buds is converted to RSO, as opposed to a yield of between 10 and 15% for cultivated strains.

I tested the RSO (using a DIY TLC testkit).
I found the CBD content in the RSO to be around 40%, THC was approximately 20%.

Interesting stuff, if only the yield would be higher it would be a promising alternative for medicinal use.....
