Pioneering Hemp in Africa: Insights from South Africa's Hemp Leaders Welcome back to the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, Volume Up! I'm your host, Morris Beagle, and today we're diving into the vibrant hemp and cannabis scene in Cape Town, South Africa. After an enriching experience at the Kenya Hemp Conference, I spent nearly three weeks in Cape Town, exploring the local industry and meeting some incredible people. Highlights from Cape Town Hemporium and the Hemp Hotel I had the pleasure of staying at the Hemp Hotel, the tallest hemp structure in the world, with my colleague Paul Benham from the Hemp Plastic Company. The hotel used over 60 tons of hemp in its construction, offering a unique and sustainable experience. Hemporium, a hemp retail shop located in the same building, has been a pioneer in the industry since 1996. Tony Budden, the founder, shared insights into the versatility of hemp and the importance of creating a sustainable market. Key Conversations Tony Budden, Hemporium : Tony discussed the challenges and opportunities in the hemp industry, emphasizing the need for local hemp genetics and the potential of biophilic design in creating natural living spaces. Trenton Birsch, Chiba Africa Hemp and Cannabis Training Academy : Trenton's academy is a government-approved and accredited school, providing essential training in hemp and cannabis cultivation. Natie Ferreira, Daga Pharmacy Cannabis Farms : Natty, an ornamental horticulturist and agronomist, shared his expertise in hemp and cannabis genetics, highlighting the importance of local adaptation for successful cultivation. Tanya Clarke, Invigrow : Tanya, who recently relocated from Malawi, has been a significant player in the hemp and cannabis industry. She discussed the regulatory landscape and the potential for regional markets in Africa. Regulatory Insights South Africa is making strides with new regulations, including a proposed 2% THC limit, which is more lenient than the current 0.2-0.3% in Europe and the US. This change could significantly benefit local farmers and the industry as a whole. Future Prospects The conversations I had in Cape Town were enlightening and inspiring. The local industry is poised for growth, with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. I look forward to spending more time in South Africa and continuing to amplify the message of hemp's potential.

Let's Talk Hemp Cannabinoids at the Asia International Hemp Expo In this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, it's Day 3 at the third annual Asia International Hemp Expo, organized by the Thai Industrial Hemp Trade Association (TITA) and we are broadcasting live. We express our gratitude to all attendees and speakers who have contributed to making this event a success. Today, we delve into the topic of hemp cannabinoids, including CBD, CBG, and THC, while also touching on the innovative hemp derivatives emerging in the United States. Our guests include Eben from Maine, who has a decade of experience in the cannabis industry, and Mr. Kattanyu Kamnoi, a pharmacist from Salad Bioceutical Thailand, who is pioneering the cannabis industry in Thailand. A significant focus of our discussion revolves around the importance of lab testing for cannabinoids. Eben highlights the challenges faced in the U.S. regarding inconsistent lab results due to varying standards across different states. He emphasizes the need for standardized testing methodologies to ensure accurate and reliable results, especially for international trade. Mr. Kattanyu shares his experiences in Thailand, where the current lab testing capabilities are limited, often resulting in discrepancies in cannabinoid profiles from different labs. This inconsistency poses challenges for producers seeking to comply with regulations and accurately label their products. We explore the potential solutions to these issues, including the importance of establishing harmonized standards and utilizing reputable labs with a global presence, such as Eurofins and Columbia. The conversation also touches on the role of genetics in cannabinoid production and the emerging market for various cannabinoids beyond CBD. As we wrap up the episode, we open the floor for questions from the audience, addressing concerns about lab trustworthiness and the need for regulatory frameworks to ensure public health and safety. We conclude by inviting listeners to join us for our next session, where we will discuss the environmental benefits of hemp. Thank you for tuning in, and we look forward to continuing the conversation about the future of hemp and cannabinoids!

"Empowering Indigenous Voices: Highlights from the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit" In this episode of the Let's Talk Hemp podcast, I had the pleasure of attending the National Indigenous Cannabis Policy Summit in Washington, D.C. This remarkable event, organized by Mary Jane Oatman, Rob Pero, and the Indigenous Cannabis Industry Association (ICIA), brought together tribal leaders, industry professionals, healthcare experts, and policymakers to discuss critical cannabis and hemp policy issues affecting indigenous communities. Throughout the summit, we engaged in three days of insightful keynotes, roundtables, and panel discussions that covered a wide range of topics, including cannabis economic development, the legal landscape of hemp derivatives, sustainable cultivation, and the role of cannabis in addressing health concerns like PTSD. A key focus was on tribal sovereignty and the need for cannabis policies that reflect the unique needs of indigenous communities. I had the opportunity to sit down with Rob Pero from ICIA, who shared his thoughts on the event's success and the importance of collaboration among diverse voices in the cannabis industry. We discussed how the summit fostered an intimate environment for meaningful conversations and emotional connections, which is often lacking in larger industry events. Mary Jane Oatman also joined me to discuss the history of the ICIA and the significance of this year's summit. She emphasized the importance of partnerships and the need for indigenous communities to have a seat at the table in the broader cannabis conversation. Additionally, I spoke with various attendees, including Eben Sumner, Mike Lamuto, Hunter Buffington, Alicia Fall from Her Many Voices and Ross Sloan, who highlighted the collaborative spirit of the event and the potential for indigenous communities to lead in the cannabis space. The discussions underscored the importance of unity and shared goals in advancing cannabis policy and creating opportunities for underserved communities.

Modern day hemp advocates have been touting the fantastic fiber applications of the cannabis plant for decades citing historical documentation spanning thousands of years. We now know with science by our side that hemp stalks are no ordinary plant stalk and that the bast fiber and hurd(shiv) have some truly remarkable qualities that can provide large industries better ingredient/input alternatives that are environmentally advantageous. In this episode of Volume Up, host Morris Beegle and co-host Joy Beckerman of Hemp Ace International interview Ed Lehrburger of PureHemp Technology and Madison Sexton of Hem Mills to discuss future opportunities for hemp fiber in the USA and abroad.

This episode takes a look at how three amazing hemp leaders bring the industry together in an effort to help combat some of the issues resulting from pandemic pandemonium. Hemp for Our Future was the brain-child of Courtney Moran and Shawn Hauser, who brought in Annie Rouse and Friends of Hemp to organize and execute an ongoing campaign to gather supplies and help utilize hemp products to help America fight the war on COVID. From delivering cannabinoids to front line healthcare workers in New England to the donation of hundreds of clothes from companies like Colorado Hemp Company, this campaign has dozens of hemp companies supporting it on a nationwide scale. Go to Hemp For Our Future to see the video, learn how you can donate and support this worthwhile cause. Rick speaks with Kyla DuMont, the Vermont transplant to Los Angeles, that finds her path taking her home as a result of the COVID economic relocation program - essentially leaving L.A. for Vermont to maintain employment consulting for companies in the cannabis space focusing in hemp. She describes the current state of the State of California, how she came up with the idea of MediMaple, combining cannabinoids with maple syrup, and how many folks didn’t realize maple came from a tree! We discuss that as one of her passions, bringing together healthy, high-grade Vermont syrup with healthy cannabinoids -- and trying to expand to CBG so law enforcement and healthcare workers can use it for endocannabinoid issues. "And I think for a long time to come there will be opportunities for hemp to be the most appropriate suitable material for a number of reasons." - Shawn Hauser.

In this episode we discuss the beginning of the Hemp Industries Association, in 1994 in Arizona. Before the HIA was established, there was the True Hemp Industry Alliance (THIA), first established in 1992, who called the meeting where HIA name was created. THIA created a certification program called the True Hemp seal certification - to test and confirm products being labelled as hemp were 100% hemp, and preventing unscrupulous players from mislabeling products. This group pooled together funds to import millions of tons of hemp textiles into the USA. Like any new movement there were competing groups and trying to gather everyone on one platform was not easy. Chris discusses some of the issues in the “beginning” of hemp’s reformation - the difficulty confirming that imported Chinese hemp was truly hemp and not mixed with cotton or other fibers. It wasn’t without obstacles as competing certifications were created, debate raged on using the hemp plant leaf versus those that didn’t want the stigma attached, and police threatened arrest for serving hemp seeds at festivals. For the past 3 decades, Chris has fought to raise awareness of hemp and it’s benefits. His stories provide insight into where the industry started and some of the battles fought along the way. “We wanted to see hemp like Cotton Inc and we wanted to see hemp like the linen council, so we used those as models. This thing was bigger than all of us, we’re like hemp’s gonna save the world!” - Chris Boucher Learn more about this episode of Lets Talk Hemp with Morris Beegle and Rick Trojan at www.letstalkhemp.com/35 Morris Beegle morris@morrisbeegle.com @morrisbeegle @LetsTalkHemp @NoCoHempExpo @ExperienceHemp @WAFBAofficial And a new day will dawn for those who stand long and the forests will echo with laughter Produced by PodConx Sound Designed by Jamie Humiston - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamie-humiston-91718b1b3/

In this episode, you'll hear how the future of hemp can impact our farmers throughout the country. Today we talk with Patrick Flaherty from P F Design Lab , who is studying the entire supply chain of hemp in the United States to better understand where hemp can replace traditional materials. With the progress over the past five years, no one is denying that the hemp market is making strides. At each event we attend, we sell out every seat, every venue, every time. But while the hemp market in the United States continues to grow, there is still a disconnect between the farmers growing the hemp and the manufacturers who can make use out of it. Patrick Flaherty is interested in closing that gap. Where do these gaps in the hemp market exist? Which everyday products could benefit from a hemp upgrade? And how many acres does it take to justify a processing plant? This is an amazing story of the versatility and opportunity that remains largely untapped in the emerging hemp market. "The issue is not the value of the material, it's moving the hemp around." - Patrick Flaherty Learn more about this episode of Let's Talk Hemp at www.letstalkhemp.com/24 .

We've got a great program setup to speak about current events, bring in leaders and politicians, promote what's happening with domestic hemp companies and continue to set the record straight on this plant and its potential for ourselves and our country. We've got some new characters setup and intend to expand our message through our growing coalition of companies, associations, networks and strategic partners. One of the main focal points of this first episode is CBD and cannabinoid supplement industry. We will be covering the challenges from 2017 that we've overcome, the obstacles facing us in 2018, and thoughts on the Industrial Hemp Farming Act (HR3530) of 2017. Our guests include Dani Billings Fontaine from Nature's Root, Stuart Tomc from CV Sciences, Tim Gordon from Functional Remedies and Lex Pelger from Bluebird Botanicals.

Episode 5 invites Hunter Buffington, executive director of COHIA, the Colorado Hemp Industries Association, to discuss current legislative initiatives taking place that address the waste and recycling issues that currently plague Colorado's cannabis industry.

S1 E3 · Thu, January 25, 2018
This week we delve into the recent autoposy from Tom Petty and the fact that opioids are killing nearly 100 Americans A DAY! Cannabis, meanwhile, has NEVER recorded an overdose! However, the drugs Tom Petty, Prince, Michael Jackson and others have taken are PRESCRIBED AND 100% LEGAL. A prescription for death vs an opportunity at life… with cannabis. We also cover the latest news, update on the crop report from Vote Hemp showing over 25,000 acres of hemp cultivated in USA in 2017, upcoming travel to Iowa and Mexico for hemp advocacy and education, the IndoExpo Trade Show this weekend in Denver, and meaningless banter and nonsense to fill in the gaps.
