The high cbd strains on the market are crossed with industrial hemp. That's how they worked it into the lines. Fact. I've talked to breeders in the know.
For qualitative tests it is OK.Does it seem pretty accurate?
I would think so.Can a technically challenged old guy figure out how to use it?
No, I don't.One other question, do you happen to know the variety of hemp you extracted.
Agree 101%!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.
You can buy high CBD oil on Ebay.

and lots of other places, too.
The strange thing about CBD is that it only annihilates THC when taken before (or simultaneously) but not afterwards. Don't ask me why, I couldn't find any scientific answer to that question. I have some suspicions though...If you smoked good weed after you take that stuff will you get high?
Could be used as an "antidote" for one toke over the line.
Yes exactly.
Industrial hemp doesent produce that many cannabinoids in its trichromes. While some plants can have decent frost coverage the cannabinoid content is very low and the "high cbd" is only in comparison to the thc content high...
The overall cannabinoid content is around 1-5% with cbd being the most common one.
Grind and mix to your desired effect.
I'm wondering how hemp would work for people who juice.
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:

Some great pictures. The writer, Steve Elliott, says:
THCA and CBDA are bioavailable and have pharmacological effects . These effects are not entirely identical with the decarboxylated products, though. Like THCA which is for instance not psychoactive whereas CBDA still has good activities on the immune system...While there are people who extol the properties of raw hemp juice, it's not medication, per se. First of all, I'm not even sure if the juicer extracts the cannabinoids in the plant material at all. And, even if it does, they are in an organic acid form which is not used by the body. That's why hemp extracts/oils have to be heated to about 300 degrees (Fahrenheit), or raw material smoked or baked, in order for the cannabinoids to be available to the body.
Read the law of your state thoroughly and you will almost certainly find some small print that reflects that Federal "trumps" state law and you will need Uncle Sam's approval, waiver or oversight, in some way. In other words, it's not "a done deal" or there would be dozens, if not hundreds, of farmers growing hemp.
Now, this fellow just has to find someone who can process it into fiber! You have to wonder how many hemp "decorticating" machines, that strip out the inner hurds or other worthless parts of the plant from the fiber, are still in existence (or working condition) after not having had any use for over 50 years. It would be like expecting a '57 Chevy to be operable after not being started since it was manufactured!
