Canna Safety and CO2 Extraction

With all the reports of contaminants and toxins from pesticides, heavy metals, etc that are in Cannabis products these days- where some are caused by cannabis phytoremediation abilities.  I requested information from a CO2 Extraction equipment manufacturer in re to contaminants and toxins and what happens during the CO2 extraction process.

 Here are the first round of questions I submitted:

1) can or will the CO2 extraction system separate and remove these somehow or will the contaminants get concentrated by the system?

More proof #CannaSafety is needed. https://t.co/FC97xhdMjF

2) could the CO2 Extraction system be used to remove the Lignin in hemp plant stalks? 

#CannaSafety: 4 in 29 samples equates to 13.8 % of the samples tested for suspect materials. https://t.co/N5pa24WUdX?#cbdoil #CannabisNews

3) in the case of my planned phytoremediation project where I'll be using plants to clean up a Superfund full of Nuclear Waste and Heavy Metals and your equipment is used how would you suggest the system be "decontaminated"  or would I have to have 2 CO2 extraction systems- one for phytoremediation project and one for normal cannabis grow op?

If any MOhemp blog reader has additional info or suggestions please let me know.  It's plainly obvious canna-safety should be addressed.

Scotty, MOhemp Energy.

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

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.

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.

Who performs independent testing on your Hemp and Cannabis CBD and Hemp Oil products? Do you test for Pesticides, Heavy Metals, Fungicides, and other contaminants? 

With the great phytoremediation and phytoextraction qualities of the Cannabis Plant see [ElectroHemp Bio Rad] it is better to be safe than sorry.

Peering into my crystal ball on the future of Cannabis for Human Consumption. Lack of testing could hurt the Cannabis Industry as a whole.

I would feel safer if more Canna business used an Independent Testing Services for the Cannabis products they sell. Scotty 

Certifying CBD products to be authentic, clean and green

This new service, to be launched by CWC Labs, is designed to help consumers recognize safe, high quality hemp extract products that are independently verified by a third party laboratory to be authentic, clean and green. Product certification involves multiple tests on three different mass spec instruments, including ICP-MS and HPLC-MS-TOF.

As one of the pioneers in cannabis quantitation and validation, I am the co-author of a science paper published in the LC/GC science journal entitled, “Liquid Chromatography–Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry for Cannabinoid Profiling and Quantitation in Hemp Oil Extracts.” Since that science paper was published, my lab has developed even more precise mass spec analysis techniques that allow us to validate the following properties of CBD oil / hemp extracts:

• Accurate quantitation of CBD, CBDA, THC and other compounds typically found in hemp extracts.
• Molecular verification of accurate molecules, eliminating any possibility of counterfeit chemicals. (Using a combination of accurate mass, ion fragmentation, isotopic abundance, etc.)
• The absence of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and other agricultural chemicals. (This is a huge issue, as many hemp products sold today are derived from cannabis plants that are heavily sprayed with toxic pesticides.)
• The absence of toxic solvents and extract chemicals that are frequently used in the industry even though they may pose a very real danger to consumers. Some hemp production companies, for example, are currently extracting hemp products using isopropyl alcohol (IPA), which is extremely toxic to the human body when ingested.
• The absence of toxic heavy metals, and the presence of nutritive minerals such as zinc and magnesium.

In other words, we are testing CBD products for not just CBDs, but also for pesticides, industrial chemicals and heavy metals as well.

Governor to attend the West Lake candidate forum and was moved by the testimonials we heard. This WWII era waste from the Manhattan Project cannot be swept under the rug any longer. Thank you to the Moms group for building the coalition to finally get this addressed so that public health is not sacrificed to private profit. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead. Please like and share my FB page below with others who feel the same and please vote for candidates that will join the right side of this fight. https://www.facebook.com/RussforMissouri/ Just Moms STL held the second forum last night and we had an amazing turnout. We would like to say thank you to all the candidates from both the first and second forum that took the time to come out and personally address this issue or send a video. We heard every candidate indicate they support the efforts and platform of Just Moms STL. For the last four years, we have worked so hard to educate leaders of the community, and elected officials across the board, both Republican and Democrats. We had a great candidate turnout between both forums and we are very proud of that. It is a good feeling to hear these candidates profess their commitments to the landfill issues. When Dawn and I first started this movement most people looked at us like we had two heads. We have built a strong coalition of GREAT people that are dedicated to doing everything in their power to save and protect this extremely abused community! So much goes on behind the scenes to organize these events including our monthly community meeting. We want to say a special thanks to CA Glis,Meagan Beckermann, Christen Commuso and Robbin Ellison Dailey! We couldn't do any of this without these amazing ladies! These moms move mountains to make sure things go smoothly for Dawn and myself to be able to do the things we do. They are definitely our rock!! Next time you see them, or maybe here on facebook let them know how thankful this community is to have them!! We also would like to say a special thanks to Missouri Coalition for the Environment,Ed Smith& interns, Lois Marie Gibbs & Center for Health, Environment & Justice Laura Eliza Barrett & interns International Brotherhood of Teamsters Matteo Colombi, Gale Thackrey Franciscan Sisters of Mary for their helping hands, love, prayers and support for the Just Moms STL group. Thank you to all of the community members that attend the meetings, watch the livestream, make phone calls, email and tweet about this issue. If you haven't ever been to a community meeting, I hope you will join us on September 15th at the John Calvin Presbyterian Church of Bridgeton at 6:30pm. Bring a friend, or family member.
