CannaSafety Crys CannaCanary

Here is yet another CannaGuru mentioning CannaSafety with 4:29 suspect test results.

Need for standards
“One common thread when speaking to brands and industry observers is that there are no industry-wide standards,” said Marc Lewis, Executive Editor of Remedy Review. “Consumers need to be careful in a space where demand is dramatically outpacing oversight.”

4 in 29 samples equates to 13.8 % of the samples tested for suspect materials. 

It's a failure to not address Canna-Safety and it's no help the Politicians are creating a Harm Not Help industry; instead of a Help Not Harm- thriving CannaBiz circular economy. 

Supportive Laws and what should be the baseline S.O.P. procedures for all Cannabis Industry:

 Guidelines, Rules, Regulations, and Talking Points. 

One of the future Canna-Safety talking-point discussions needs to include:  Cannabis plants ability to absorb toxins by phytoremediation. 

DID YOU HEAR THE CANARY IN THE CANNABIS COAL MINE?

IT MATTERS NOT WHETHER BY IGNORANCE OF WHAT THEY'RE DOING OR WHETHER THESE UNSCRUPULOUS BUSINESSES ARE ATTEMPTING TO BOOST AND PEDDLE THEIR WARES TO UNSUSPECTING BUYERS…
while operating under the guise of Selling Medicine. These blatant actions of the greedy industry players who are only focused on financial gain is plainly obvious.

Authors opinion: The ignorance, lack of foresight, improper testing procedures, and botched research; should never jeopardize a cannabis consumers health.


The Cannabis Canary has been sounding off and attempting to alert everyone to the dangers that unscrupulous Canna-Industry Players who are focusing on capitalization and exploitation of cannabis.

Cannabis Cash Cow

Cannabis Cash Cow https://t.co/zR4mmwtnsS #CannaSafety that too many DO NOT realize.

Helping or Harming

in the Cannabis world of Media Manipulation and Political maneuvering where it sure looks: Canna-Safety comes last on the list.

It's a failure to not address Canna-Safety and it's no help the Politicians are creating a Harm Not Help industry; instead of a Help Not Harm- thriving CannaBiz circular economy.

Supportive Laws and what should be the baseline S.O.P. procedures for all Cannabis Industry Guidelines, Rules, Regulations, and Talking Points.

One of the future Canna-Safety talking-point discussions needs to include:  Cannabis plants ability to absorb toxins by phytoremediation.

Arthur proposes, to safely use Cannabis Sales for the $monetary$ cash cow it is becoming. With baseline: guidelines, rules, best growing practices, etc.  The entire cannabis industry can easily be proactive vs reactive to known problems and by sharing truth.

It's plain to see the authors fears are justified when observing the actions around the fledgling industry by being an objective outsider (who is also working on a cannabis startup- MOhemp Energy) that monitors what so many of the Cannabis Industry Players, Federal- State- Local government agencies, the short-sighted Politicians, and other Canna players- and everyone else who is just greedily anticipating the future Millions of Dollars in income and The TaxMan scheme's the income generation that will be coming into their Bank accounts and political coffers.

Lack of Canna-Safety oversight, is basically- throwing everyone's Personal Health and Safety under the bus.

Unfortunately many of the unaware and uninformed cannabis consumers who may feel Cannabis is Mother Nature's gift to mankind. fail to realize the products they're using and the techniques used in the production of cannabis consumables are full of chemicals, toxins, and contaminants that are known hazards and detrimental to people's health. How is the Cannabis industry helping and not harming?

Recently 3 cannabiz gurus left clues in the article: How to Buy the Best Safe and Effective CBD Products

• Hemp is a powerful phytoremediation crop, which means it cleans the soil. Stanley (It's also referred to as a bioaccumulator.)

• You'll want to ensure the hemp in your product is grown using responsible farming practices in soil that is pre-tested for toxins. Reeves emphasized this, saying the way hemp is grown is tantamount to its safety as a consumer product.

• Look for CBD products made with American-grown hemp because they're generally safer than hemp grown overseas, Melany Dobson, chief administrative officer at Hudson Hemp advises.

Did you hear the Canary in the Cannabis Coal Mine?

It matters not whether by ignorance of what they're doing or whether these unscrupulous businesses are attempting to boost and peddle their wares to unsuspecting buyers…

while operating under the guise of Selling Medicine. These blatant actions of the greedy industry players who are only focused on financial gain is plainly obvious.

Authors opinion: The ignorance, lack of foresight, improper testing procedures, and botched research; should never jeopardize a cannabis consumers health.


The Cannabis Canary has been sounding off and attempting to alert everyone to the dangers that unscrupulous Canna-Industry Players who are focusing on capitalization and exploitation of cannabis.

The blessing and curse of Cannabis Plants Phytoremediation abilities

In the 3 examples above it matters not to a cannabis plant where the toxins come from. A cannabis plant will naturally bioaccumulate and absorb both pollutants and helpful minerals from any soil, water, or air it comes in contact with. These under reported Cannabis Phytoremediation abilities are creating health risks to people who are consuming canna-products that are grown in environments that are full of toxic chemicals.

The blessing and curse of Cannabis Plants Phytoremediation abilities. Toxins Contaminants or pesticides Was the hemp grown in pesticide-soaked soil? Did it get into the product? Was the CBD extracted using solvents? Are they in the product? "Request batch testing [results] to make sure there's no issue of contaminants, toxins, heavy metals, etc.," says Stanley. "Every company should not only have in-house testing but also verify through credible third-party laboratories that the product has the right concentration of CBD and is free from contaminants, residual solvents, and pesticides."

Save yourself: Don't let lack of Canna-Safety oversight, throw you under the bus and jeopardize your health.

Is the Missouri Government really trying to help Missouri Farmers who want to grow Hemp or just catering to big business interests?
The Fees alone I feel are enough to discourage anyone from partaking in this opportunity that will help all Missourians.
Using the example above for MOhemps plan of offering a service to process farmers Missouri grown hemp into sources of income from the following help products:

1. Clean String Fibers
2. Hemp Hurds
3. Hemp Lignin
4. Seed Separation and cleaning 
5. Biodiesel Production
6. Livestock Feed 

Will have a Fee Charge of: $1,500 before ever touching a Hemp plant. Add this costs to the required other Missouri Business Fees, Labor Costs, Required Record Keeping, and Insurance, etc.  Are more than the income potential that a 40 acre pilot study plot of land will net. 

• Handler registration fee: five hundred dollars ($500) plus—
• 1. For processing the grain component of industrial hemp: five hundred dollars ($500);
• 2. For processing the fiber component of industrial hemp: five hundred dollars ($500);

Hemp Energy Pellet New York style

MOhemp Energy blog readers have already been clued in on why and how Hemp Energy Pellets and other things mentioned in this Hemp Today Article is the most economical way to get in the Hemp Business.  

MOhemp Energy Hemp Pellet infographic example done for a Kenya Africa exploratory Hemp business plan to reverse desertification by saving trees.

Has CNY or someone working with them been reading this blog? My blog stats have previously shown lots of traffic from Toronto and New York.  Glad I could help out!

Kudos to CNY Hemp processing in New York for also recognizing how Hemp Energy Pellets are a viable solution to the growing sustainable energy business, Scotty MOhemp Energy

No Pellet stove but still want to burn Hemp Biomass here are MOhemp Energy Hemp Biomass Examples that do not require a Pellet Stove!

Not all Hemp Machines Require Millions of investment capital that many of these Hemp articles which are grabbing everyone's attention require.

Do the Financial Investors who are now spending and investing millions in the future Hemp Industry understand this?  

MOhemp has previously shared:

This inspired me to figure out a way to do what huge multi-million Hemp factory machines do in the field and per David Bovis: 

• Processing Hemp in the field could be the Holy Grail needed in the Hemp Industry. During a conversation David and I were having with Zev Paiss past President of the National Hemp Association, Mr Bovis shared this: 

Scotty has ideas in principle that would, without exaggeration, revolutionise post-harvest processing and reduce the production costs by such a margin they would become almost negligible by comparison to current processing methods common in the industry

Scotty's Hemp Farming Invention I have been working on adds one more income producing step of removing the valuable Lignin from the Hemp plant. MOhemp Blog Article Invention Link

 Scotty provides yet another example of how and why Hemp Energy Pellets are low investment and can use existing Farm Machinery to turn fields of Hemp into cash money in this 5 step process.

MOhemp Energy Field to Energy Pellets in 5 steps

The above examples are just a few ways that MOhemp Energy takes into consideration their future customers finances. Below are the reasons why:

1. Investors of Millions of Dollars will want a return on investment (ROI) plus interest. These increased costs are passed on to the end users and buyers in the products we buy. 
2. Multi-Million dollar factories are not required to decorticate or separate the various parts of the Hemp plant. 
3. The total acres needed to keep a large scale Hemp Decortication Factory in operation will number in many thousands of acres. Is it feasible to spend that amount of money when the total USA acres planted in Hemp was below 30,000? 2017 US Hemp Crop Report. 25,713. Acres of hemp grown in. 19 states.

These 3 examples above are why MOhemp Energy when in operation will have a competitive advantage over the big money investors!

why not build with hemp

Article Repost: Hemp Fiberboard Poised To Replace Plywood By Monocle Man
 https://www.hcmagazine.com/hemp-fiberboard-poised-to-replace-plywood/?
by Skyler Cannabaceae
Images Added to blog post: MOhemp

Want to support legal hemp production, but not sure how? It can be as simple as choosing hemp fiberboard over plywood for your next building project. Take a few tips from the experts into consideration.

Ryan Loflin, 41, is Colorado’s hemp farming pioneer. He saw the potential in hemp last year when he used his dad’s farm in southern Colorado to grow hemp after Colorado legalized the practice. 

THC caught up with Greg Flavell last week in New Zealand where he is building houses. 

Flavell owns Hemp Technologies, a hemp building company based in Asheville, North Carolina. He points out that hemp not only saves trees, but it is more efficient.

“Trees take 10 years to grow. Hemp only takes four or five months.” Flavell said. So there it is, in a nutshell – the first advantage of hemp fiberboard over wood.
Other Great Points in article:
A Congressional Research Service (CSR) “Industrial hemp production statistics for Canada indicate that one acre of hemp yields … an average of 5,300 pounds of straw, which can be transformed into about 1,300 pounds of fiber. “

 U.S. Department of Agriculture reveals that a single acre of trees produces less than one-fourth the amount of fiber from an acre of hemp.

“The longest bundle of fibers in an old-grown Douglas Fir is three-quarters of an inch.” Tim Pate explained. “If you take a hemp plant, that bast fiber on the outside is going to be as long as that plant is tall.”

Pate was a member of the company that teamed up with Washington State University to create “medium-density fiberboard” (MDF) from hemp, so he knows his stuff.

Not only is the fiber longer than wood, but it is higher quality. C & S Specialty Building Supply, a now-defunct Oregon-based business that included Pate, Bill Conde, Dave Seber and Barry Davis, brought the idea to a Washington State University researcher named Paul Maulberg. Together they created a hemp MDF prototype that met or exceeded all tests.

“If you can find a non-toxic way to create building materials, you could win a Nobel Peace Prize.” Pate said. The MDF project closed in on that goal, showing just how well non-toxic hemp was suited for building.

“That fiber doesn’t break down after just a few seconds,” he said, referring to hemp fiber in a steam exploder. This is important because the extraction process is used to bond the strong hemp fiber with other materials to create composite materials such as hemp MDF.

The hemp fiberboard created at WSU proved in tests to be stronger than steel and a report issued by the Boulder Hemp Initiative Project shows that not only does hemp stand up to force, but heat and water as well.

“Hemp hurds can be pressed and injected with phenolic resin to make a particle board that is resistant to fire and water,” Pate said. “The board also makes a good insulation and thermal barrier.”

With all of these benefits, why not build with hemp?

NC Kenaf Plant Fire

FRANKLIN CO., N.C. (WTVD) -- A large warehouse full of Kenaf, a fiber plant, caught fire Friday. The warehouse is located on Highway 98 near Bunn, North Carolina.

Farm Filter Phytoremediation Strips

The US Dept Ag offered these Suggestions for the design, intended uses and definitions on Filter Strips

Phytoremediation is the key part of filter strips to filter and remove farm chemical runoff. Scotty, MOhemp 

  USDepartment of Agriculture on Filter Strips:

• Primary Purposes: To remove sediment and other pollutants from runoff by filtration, deposition, infiltration, or plant uptake.
• Design Elements: Strips are planted cross-slope or on the contour downhill from the source of sediment or pollutants. They must be sufficiently wide to achieve primary purposes.
• Vegetation Requirements: Adapted to the soil and climate of the planting site. Tolerant of sediment deposition and pollutant-laden runoff. Moderate to aggressive development to occupy the site quickly.

Filter strips, also referred to as buffer strips, are small, edge-of-field tracts of vegetated land that are used to reduce the contamination of surface water.

A grass filter strip and forested riparian buffer used to protect a stream from agricultural non point source pollution. Wikipedia

They are primarily used in agriculture to control non-point source pollution, however, they may also be used to reduce sediment in storm water runoff from construction sites. 
There are several types of filter strips including:

• vegetative filter strips, 
• forested riparian buffers, and 
• wind buffers. 

In agriculture, they [Filter Strips] are highly effective in reducing the concentration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in runoff into surface water and are also effective in reducing sediment erosion and removing pesticides.

1. This helps to prevent eutrophication and associated fishkills and loss of biodiversity. 
2. The use of filter strips is very common in developed countries and is required by law in some areas. 
3. The implementation and maintenance of filter strips is inexpensive and their use has been shown to be cost effective.

FARM Conservation Buffer Strips - PhytoScience

 Farmers let's grow Hemp Phytoremediation Buffer Strips and let the USDA split the financial costs!

Scotty MOhemp

USDA shared: Conservation buffers are small areas or strips of land in permanent vegetation, designed to intercept pollutants and manage other environmental concerns.

Buffers include: riparian buffers, filter strips, grassed waterways, shelterbelts, windbreaks, living snow fences, contour grass strips, cross-wind trap strips, shallow water areas for wildlife, field borders, alley cropping, herbaceous wind barriers, and vegetative barriers.

Strategically placed buffer strips in the agricultural landscape can effectively mitigate the movement of sediment, nutrients, and pesticides within farm fields and from farm fields. When coupled with appropriate upland treatments, including crop residue management, nutrient management, integrated pest management, winter cover crops, and similar management practices and technologies, buffer strips should allow farmers to achieve a measure of economic and environmental sustainability in their operations. Buffer strips can also enhance wildlife habitat and protect biodiversity.

Benefits of Buffers

Conservation buffers slow water runoff, trap sediment, and enhance infiltration within the buffer. Buffers also trap fertilizers, pesticides, pathogens, and heavy metals, and they help trap snow and cut down on blowing soil in areas with strong winds. In addition, they protect livestock and wildlife from harsh weather and buildings from wind damage. If properly installed and maintained, they have the capacity to:

• remove up to 50 percent or more of nutrients and pesticides.
• remove up to 60 percent or more of certain pathogens.
• remove up to 75 percent or more of sediment.

Conservation buffers reduce noise and odor. They are a source of food, nesting cover, and shelter for many wildlife species. Buffers also provide connecting corridors that enable wildlife to move safely from one habitat area to another.

Conservation buffers help stabilize a stream and reduce its water temperature. Buffers also offer a setback distance for agricultural chemical use from water sources.

Like the trim on a house makes the house look better, well-planned conservation buffers improve the appearance of a farm or ranch. If used as part of a comprehensive conservation system, buffers will make good use of areas that often should not be cropped.

Key Messages
1. Conservation buffers work environmentally because they:

• Control soil erosion by both wind and water.
• Improve soil quality.
• Improve water quality by removing sediment, fertilizers, pesticides, pathogens, and other potential contaminants from runoff.
• Enhance fish and wildlife habitat.
• Reduce flooding.
• Conserve energy.
• Protect buildings, roads, and livestock.
• Conserve biodiversity.

2. Conservation buffers work economically because of financial incentives available through USDA conservation programs--

• Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) 
• Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP)
• Wildlife Habitat Incentives Program (WHIP)
• general CRP, Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP)
• Conservation Stewardship Program (CSP).

3. Conservation buffers may help you meet Federal, state, or local pollution control requirements.

4. Many state and local governments--and even some private organizations--offer additional financial incentives to install conservation buffers.

5. Conservation buffers are a visual demonstration of your commitment to land stewardship.
