Introduction Paragraphs

The 3-D view of all aspects of the hemp flower covers the growing and selling aspect then what hemp is for the consumer and lastly how the medical profession has accepted hemp as a viable part of the pharmaceutical arena. This is unusual because hemp is an alternate method of treatment, and the medical industry is usually resistant to all things not drug related. Mention some alternate options to your primary care provider and he or she will chuckle and pass it off as nothing. From the farmers to the vendors, consumers and on down the line, hemp gained by leaps and bounds so much so the medical professionals had to take notice.

Introducing the Farmers & Vendors

When hemp was legalized with the 2018 Farm Bill, the farmers jumped on board with vigor as they saw revenue and a need from the consumers. They also realized that their farms could be converted with only a few changes to their existing set-up. Because there was a green light for hemp research, the breeders and researchers already had laid the foundation so the farmers could kickstart their planting of this amazing plant. Then almost simultaneously, the vendor saw an opportunity to sell a product that was instantly in demand.  Many consumers already knew the power hemp held over pain, anxiety, insomnia and so much more.

Introducing the Aspect of the Consumers

Some say that the consumer is fickle.  One day he wants one thing and the next day it is something else. This may be partly true but also true when the consumer finds something that works and makes their lives better, they will stick with that product. It is this type of consumers that are making the vendors successful.  Vendors have several hoops to jump through with testing so that the product is what they say it is when they put it on the shelf.  This testing is also to safeguard that the product is truly without pesticides and other chemicals.

Why the Medical Professional Jumped on Board 

In the beginning, the medical industry tossed hemp in with all the other alternative medicines. But something changed when it rose to the level when scientists started conduct clinical trials and saw significant changes in levels of pain their patients suffered with.  Then Charlotte’s Web hemp flower strain made huge differences for children suffering with seizures. They had to take it seriously.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower — It Starts with the Farmers

So many things we owe to all our farmers throughout America.  Hemp is the latest feather in their hat. As soon as hemp was legalized in America, the farmers revved up their tractors and went to work.  They did some revisions on the harvesting equipment and started planting their dormant fields in hemp. The farmers are the hardest working of the blue-collar workers in America and sometimes they feel like they are chasing their tail for enough profits. But these farmers are smart, and they immediately looked at the mad dash of consumers towards hemp products.

The 3-D view of all aspects of the hemp flower caused the farmers also realized the environmental benefits of hemp.  There is no waste to the hemp plant because after the hemp flower is harvested, then the rest is dried, cured and sold as hemp biomass.  The hemp biomass is then used to make fabric, shipping supplies like canvas for sails and rope. Hemp fabric is very salt water resistant and that is why the sailors prefer using it.

The farmer has multiple markets to sell hemp to because the hemp products are multiplying faster than we can count.  The successful vendor will want all the products he or she can get their hands on so that the customer will return to your shop because it is well stocked. Dr. Strains CBD excels in keeping a variety of hemp flower strains as well as hemp topicals, vape disposables, hemp gummies and so much more.

Going Deeper with the Hemp Farmer

Both the news and the top financial advisers are pointing towards hemp if you want to make a difference in your life and in the lives of so many people who have suffered for years with chronic conditions like pain, anxiety, insomnia and much more. If you are a farmer already in the business, you may find that there are few changes to farm equipment and a slight learning curve.  By and large, with minimal investment you can be ready to plant your first crop of hemp.

The 3-D view of all aspects of the hemp flower shows us that hemp is one of the most lucrative crops for a couple reasons. There is a high demand for all parts of the hemp plant but maybe the most in demand is the hemp flower atop the plant.  That nug sits on the shelf at the vendor’s shop for the consumer to purchase and enjoy smoking or grinding it up to make your own hemp edibles.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower Goes Deeper with the Legality of Hemp

Hemp has been through a long legal battle through the last 100 or so years but finally prevailed. Since hemp strains and CBD and all the other cannabinoids and the terpenes are entirely legal on a federal basis to be grown and sold.  So, today hemp and all that goes with it has become a billion-dollar industry.  As a side note here, there are some states who have decided that they will leave hemp as an illegal substance in their own state.  The states where hemp is illegal to grow and to sell are as follows:

Iowa
Idaho
South Dakota

In other states there are significant restrictions in regard to what is legal and the labeling of the products. Main has a law that requires all hemp products made from only hemp grown in Maine. There are many states that say they do not allow CBD to be infused into any food or drink.  If you want to grow or sell hemp in your state, it is best to inquire to the laws pertaining to your state.

Going Deeper into Hemp Biomass

If you have been following all things hemp, you are well aware of the value of hemp biomass in our environment.  It is best for preserving the future of our environment because of its lack of negative impact on that environment.  For all the environmentalist trying to “save the planet” should put hemp biomass on their radar because there is nothing better. When a farmer plants 10 acres of hemp, there are a couple things that must be considered.

When the hemp plant matures, absolutely everything on the plant can be utilized for something.  The hemp flower on the top is what the vendors want in their inventory. The hemp flower also is what the manufacturers want to make all the various hemp products like edibles, capsules, topicals and any number of other products.

The rest of the hemp plant is eligible for hemp biomass. The farmer then must devise a place in a barn when the hemp can hang to dry sufficiently for the manufacture who converts the biomass into concrete, canvas, rope, fabric and any number of other materials. The number of products that the manufacturers are making with hemp biomass are growing as fast as the productions infused with CBD and other cannabinoids. Just like the farmers saw an opportunity for a new stream of revenue that was good for them and for the consumers, the vendors saw the same opportunity.  They saw a stream of revenue that was only going to grow and multiply in products for those having suffered for years with chronic conditions.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower — It Continues with Vendors

Even before the 2018 Farm Bill liberated hemp, vendors started making a place in the retail locations for this legalized product of hemp.  Researchers were already doing their work so long as they were working under the umbrella of a state university. These researchers were ready to launch a number of products as soon as President Trump signed the 2018 Farm Bill. The flood gates opened because vendors and consumers alike already knew the massive benefits of, primarily CBD.  That is the cannabinoid that the most research was done on so it rose right to the top of desirable products.

The 3-D view of all aspects of the hemp flower grew from only tincture to gummies and on to other products.  These other products blossomed to a great many edibles and CBD-infused topicals, gum and hemp pre-rolls.  The other big difference was the flavors that the manufacturers came up with to overcome the natural bitter of the tincture. Today tinctures have a variety types and flavors as well. The flavors of peppermint, vanilla, raspberry are some of the many flavors available. Dr. Strains CBD also has in their inventory THC-0 Tincture and Delta 8 Tincture. Then there are gummies and Delta 8 cereal that simply give alternate ways to dose with hemp.

The Aspect of Testing and COA’s

Different from other products, hemp edibles, hemp nugs and hemp topicals all go through a specific set of tests.  These tests are to be sure of the purity of the product and to also make sure that the cannabinoid profile and terpene profile is what the vendor is claiming. The testing results are listed on the Certificate of Analysis (COA).  With each product, there is an accompanying COA available for the consumer to review.  It is important for the consumer to review the COAs because then they will know exactly the purity and cannabinoid and terpene content percentages. This is how the vendor can prove to the consumer that he or she is an honest and reliable vendor.

Unfortunately, when a revenue producing opportunity presents itself, there are those who want to cash in.  However, they do not want to do the hard work or pay for the product that is purely tested. When I first started using CBD tincture, I purchased from a variety of places before I made a connection with Dr. Strains CBD. I purchased a bottle of what was sold to me as CBD hemp tincture. A few days later, I wondered why I was not realizing the benefits of pain, anxiety and depression like I had before. Finally, I took out my magnifying glass to see what the ingredients really were. What do you think I found out? This vendor had sold me hemp seed oil tincture. Hemp seed oil has a great many health benefits, but it has not CBD in it.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower Considers Product Line Up

Dr. Strains CBD has an inventory that is varied all up and down the spectrum.  With the amazing growth of hemp products and methods of dosing, the consumer expects a lot. Another reason why Dr. Strains CBD keeps such a wide range of products is because different people like different methods of dosing.   Also, CBD-infused topicals may work for some and smoking a hemp pre-roll works best for another person. Then there are some who like a hemp pre-roll but others prefer to make their own hemp cigarette. Dr. Strains CBD provides hemp pre-rolls, and they also have all the equipment and product to make your own in your home with friends.

I use hemp products because of my osteoarthritis in several joints. You may be the same but there are some who simply enjoy smoking hemp or dry vaping it or vaping Delta 8 carts in a vape pen. Dr. Strains CBD makes sure that your needs are met no matter why you decided to get involved with the hemp community. Or you may be using hemp pre-rolls to break your addiction to nicotine or Delta 9 prevalent marijuana. Dr. Strains CBD purchases all their hemp flower nugs from small farmers.  This is important because they prioritize hands-on with the cultivating and harvesting of their hemp plants.  This matters because some hemp flowers mature better indoors others do better outdoors.

The small farmer has his thumb on the pulse of each hemp plant and how they best mature. This means that the terpene profiles and the cannabinoid profiles will be better. What does this mean to you?  It means that when you smoke your hemp flower nug you will have better aromas and savors.  You will also have the best cannabinoid profile.

The Aspect of Hemp Flower Types

There are principally two types of hemp flower — Sativa and Indica.  Then the third category is that of Hybrid.  As breeders continue to create better and more potent hemp flower strains, the Hybrid is created. Sativa type is energizing and the Indica is calming, relaxing and moderately of a sedative nature. When you pick a Bubba Kush hemp flower strain, you know that you will be smoking it or dry vaping in the evening. Why? Because it is an Indica type hemp flower.  If you choose the Electra hemp flower strain, this is best for the morning to give you that energy to get out the door to work.

Dr Strains CBD has all options available for you to purchase and we also have Hybrids.  So, you ask, “What is the Hybrid, then?”  The Hybrid is a newly bred flower where one of the flowers is Sativa and the other is Indica. The Hybrid flower could be an evenly divided 50%/50% hemp flower strain.  If so you will experience energy and relaxation.  The percentages vary between 30/70% or 40/60% or other combinations. The vendor will have a report on these percentages in the accompanying COA.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower — From the Point of the Consumer

You and I are the consumers that have received amazing results in our journey through pain, anxiety and insomnia. There are many other health conditions that respond to hemp and all the cannabinoids and terpenes involved. The hemp flower breeders who are busy creating new strains that have what members of the hemp community want and need. CBD is the first cannabinoid that the consumer heard about. CBD stills holds its reign as king of the cannabinoids even though others are starting to ascend to the throne.

Some hemp flowers have up to 15 to 25% CBD in them.  CBD mitigates pain, anxiety, insomnia, lack of appetite or nausea and generally balances the body from disease, etc. Dr. Strains CBD puts great emphasis on adding hemp flowers with high CBD content because that is what the consumer needs and wants. In recent times, research reveals that terpenes are also involved with health benefits. So let’s take a look individually at cannabinoids and terpene impact on our health.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower Looks at Cannabinoids & Terpenes

Terpenes are the compound in the hemp flower that provides the amazing savors for those who smoke or dry vape. And they still do that, but recent research shows they do more than that. So, in this section we are looking at the other side that is not as well known — how terpenes are for health as well.

Those Terpenes for fatigue & depression:

Limonene – The citrusy terpene
Pinene – The fresh pine, earthy terpene

Terpenes for insomnia:

Myrcene – the fruity, aging mangoes, bay leaves and lemon grass terpene
Linalool – The floral terpene
Trans-nerolidol – The Little-Known terpene

Other Terpenes for anxiety are:

Caryophyllene – The spicy terpene & the “honorary cannabinoid” (it interacts directly to the ECS CB2 receptors.) Temporarily dampens anxiety signaling.
Limonene – The citrusy terpene
Phytol – The green tea terpene

Terpenes for pain:

Caryophyllene – The spicy terpene & the “honorary cannabinoid” (it interacts directly to the ECS CB2 receptors.)
Bisabolol – The chamomile floral terpene.
Humulene – The spicy happy terpene.

Now let’s look at how the cannabinoids come to the rescue of consumers who are suffering from pain from depression, from imbalances in their organs and systems. The hemp cannabinoids are uniquely similar to our own cannabinoids and that is why they can “step in” and take of the slack in our “out of balanced” body.

CBN is particularly helpful to those suffering from insomnia.  CBC is generally in the sativa type hemp flower strains. The CBC cannabinoid is also effective in interacting with the CB2 receptors and can also reduce inflammation. CBG, nicknamed “Mother of Cannabinoids” has risen to the top for benefits almost to compete with CBD. CBG offers the following benefits to mitigate fatigue, inflammation, lower back pain, migraines, headaches and muscle spasms.

The 3-D View of All Aspects of the Hemp Flower — The Medical Profession on Board

Medical professionals and CBD flower are two phrases being talked about as the health benefits their patients are growing for pain, seizures, anxiety and many other conditions. There are clinical trial going on as that is the only way the medical profession “sanctions” a substance for safety and effectiveness.

Baylor University Medical Center, Jennifer Clay Cather, MD and J. Christian Cather, MD says: “Emerging research and clinical data are demonstrating potential benefits of cannabidiol for multiple medical conditions. …… [Medical Professionals] are building their medical knowledge as the risks and benefits of CBD in various diseases are further evaluated over time.  “As of April 2020, 629 clinical trials have been registered on clinicaltrials.gov investigating cannabidiol (CBD).

Answers for Epilepsy Found in CBD

Northwestern Medicine says:  While also derived from the hemp plant, hemp oil is different from CBD oil. “There is a specific difference between CBD oil and hemp oil,” explains Integrative Medicine Specialist Melinda R. Ring, MD, executive director of Northwestern Medicine Osher Center for Integrative Medicine. “Hemp oil comes from the seeds and contains very little CBD oil. Meanwhile, CBD oil or extract has a variable amount extracted from the flowers or seeds.” For that reason, she strongly suggests reading labels carefully.

 “The benefits include a couple very rare types of seizures,” says Chief Medical Officer and Senior Vice President of Northwestern Medicine James G. Adams, MD. …….. To date, the most significant research supports the use of CBD oil for those who experience seizures. Epidiolex, a CBD oral solution, was approved by the FDA in 2018 to treat people with one of two rare forms of epilepsy – Lennox-Gastaut and Dravet Syndrome. “…….. It’s important to talk to your medical provider before beginning to use CBD oil, because it can interact with other medications you may be taking. Dr. Ring also advises looking at labels carefully and buying quality products. The lack of regulation means anything online can be easily compromised, and quality can vary widely. She suggests that you “read the reviews to ensure it has been tested, the ingredients are verified and there aren’t any contaminants.”

“Round Up All the Facts”

From the hemp farmer to the consumer and the medical professionals, hemp continues to make its mark in the world and for individual men and

women. There is so much information out there which is hemp related but some of it is not accurate and that is sad because it means people will not have the benefit that comes with the truth. We attempt to tell accurate information here and provide consumers the best product available.

From terpenes to cannabinoids to various strains of hemp flowers, we now have a smorgasbord of options.  One thing in common all the options have is that they bring health benefits by tackling stubborn illnesses and conditions. It may seem like hemp is a miracle compound, but it is not.  It is effective because it is uniquely combatable to the Endocannabinoid System (ECS) to balance the body no matter where the imbalance is. CBD hemp and all the products it represents health and wellness and freedom from addiction. Hemp brings fullness of life rather than destructive additions. It has solutions for chronic conditions like pain and anxiety for which pharmaceutical options have failed or have too many side effects.

Dr. Strains CBD provides an inventory of variety and well-tested hemp products which meets your needs for pleasure and for health.  It has options for best effects and savors as well as benefits for best health. The 3-D view of all aspects of hemp flower is amazing and it is real.
