    Every person is different and therefore the effects they feel after consuming cannabis are different too. For some, marijuana is a lovely getaway from reality; for others, it's nothing more than a source of side effects like paranoia, cognitive problems or an increased risk of developing schizophrenia.Until now, it wasn't clear as to which specific regions of the brain were responsible for these highly divergent effects of cannabis. However, a new study -- led by Steven Laviolette, Ph.D., Professor at Western's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and Christopher Norris, a postdoctoral fellow -- reveals critical new insights into how marijuana can produce such highly diverse psychological effects in different individuals.The researchers wrote in their study that translational rodent research helped them identify specific target regions in the brain that 'apparently' independently control rewarding, addictive properties of marijuana versus the psychiatric side-effects associated with its consumption.What exactly did the study find?The researchers noted that THC -- the psychoactive chemical in marijuana -- produced highly rewarding effects in the front-most part of an area of the brain called the nucleus accumbens. Furthermore, it was seen, the cannabinoid amplified the addictive properties of opioid drugs such as morphine and "increased reward-related activity patterns in the neurons".On the other hand, THC in the posterior area of the nucleus accumbens region produced highly adverse effects which included schizophrenia-related emotional and cognitive symptoms, and patterns of neuron activity similar to those found in people suffering from this serious mental illness.The researchers concluded: "Since the reward and aversion are produced by anatomically distinct regions, the different effects experienced by individuals is likely because of genetic variation leading to differential sensitivity of each regions."Here's the link to the study published in the journal Scientific Reports

What is Hemp?

Hemp is a plant from the famous cannabis species, which is purely cultivated for industrial uses. The plant can be modified into various commercial uses such as the manufacture of paper, paints, plastic, biofuel, food and animal feed etc. the plant shares the same family of Marijuana which makes it controversial for usage however it is quite distinct from each other. This plant species holds a powerful blast fibre, which is used to make threaded commercial products such as rope, paper clothing textiles etc.

Are Hemp and Marijuana the Same?

Hemp and Marijuana both, are a derivative of the cannabis plant but their placement and biology are different. Although their appearance is quite similar and an untrained eye can hardly notice any difference but the two plants are held responsible for carrying different ecologies. Another strong distinction is the intensity of THC properties in these species. Reportedly Marijuana holds THC concentrations of up to 15 to 40%. However, Hemp only carries 0.3% to cause minimal psychological effects. Such THC difference in the two species changes the manner in which they are used.

Marijuana is mostly produced to meet recreational purposes and Hemp fulfils the industrial requirements. The estimated domestic market value of Hemp comprises 425 US million dollars, on the contrary, the market value for Marijuana is much elevated reaching a 120 billion Us dollar estimation. Not only does the percentage of THC properties in the two plants make it different of usage but also the legality of their sale.

The Hemp plant is much welcomed due to its low THC content as it is a different story for Marijuana and places where the THC concentration is only allowed up to 0.2%. Hemp holds fewer consequences for illegal characteristics. Considering the medical usage of Hemp and Marijuana, according to American society, Hemp carries CBD which is quite beneficial in relieving seizures and anxiety. A new study also reveals that hemp holds properties to relieve ovarian cancer symptoms however Marijuana can be used to calm down pain and traumas.

Can you get “High” off, Hemp?

The simple answer is No. As mentioned earlier, Hemp carries THC concentration up to 0.3% which makes it entirely impossible to create any sort of psychological activity. It is quite an amusement to learn that the plant also carries CBD properties which reacts opposite to the THC amount it holds. Consumption of hemp in recreational purposes such as smoking, in the form of beer or seeds, will not get you high. In fact, the hemp is a viable candidate to brew some THC free beers.

What does Hemp seed incorporate?

The hemp seed also known as Hemp’s hearts show variation in color from light beige to dark brown. They are regularly compared to chia and flax seeds due to their rich properties. Hemp hearts are purely free from any mind-boggling effects and are purely edible. They hold nutritious values such as omega -3s and omega 6 and they are highly rich in antioxidants which improve skin and joints conditions. One tablespoon of hemp seed holds 45 calories and 3 grams of fat, 1 gram fibre 150 grams potassium, 25 grams of proteins, covers 7.5% of Vitamin A and 12 percent of iron daily body requirement. The seeds can also offer you a wide variety of Vitamin B, C, E and K. Fatty acids from hemp heart are quite beneficial to reduce inflammation, fight heart diseases and strengthen the immune system. Just sprinkle some hemp vegan protein on your salad, which will give a nice crunch and taste.

How Hemp can make you healthy?

Not only is Hemp’s heart used in salads as a crunch but can also provide you with oil, cheese, and milk to boost your energy.

Next is the presence of Phytosterols in hemp hearts, this helps to lower the cholesterol levels in the body and clear up the fatty blockages in arteries.

Hemp has a lot of health benefits and research is being carried out to confirm its applications. It improves digestion, is anti-inflammatory, improves skin condition (combats acne). It acts as a deterrent to heart diseases and actually improves the immunity system and strengthens walls of blood vessels. It can take various forms like seeds, oils, capsules etc. and hence administration into the body is very easy. The presence of low THC means that it has no side-effects and hence can be used easily. Overdosage is also not a typical problem and there are numerous guidelines to assist consumers.

Some commonly used household product, which encompasses hemp:

After the publication of an article in 1938 that ignited controversy of hemp as it was touted as a new billion dollar crop, legal authorities ended up banning the product without investigating any beneficial properties the plant may hold. Thus, people instead of utilizing the plant in a variety of ways, never grew up even learning about it. Even though this act clearly killed 80% of its industry hemp is still seen in a variety of products such as foods and drinks, clothing, facial products, automobiles, pets, household, industrial and agricultural products etc.

Hemp seeds

Top brands promise visible hair growth and strong nails use hemp oil as the main ingredient in their compositions. The zinc, vitamin A, B, E, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, and phosphorus combines up to make amazing skin care products.

Coffee:

Hemp coffee beans are raising more in demand due to their less caffeine and high vitamin and mineral saturation. Fresh coffee beans plus hemp seeds create a fantastic boost to taste buds and a vibrational frequency.

Beer:

Nonalcoholic beer is frequently brewed with this component as the CBD proposition in the hemp plant beats THC content of any form. The Humboldt brewing company won a silver prize in the Great International Beer & Cider Competition 2014.

Textiles:

Hemp is also used for the fiber it holds, which requires 50% less water than cotton to grow. The fibre it produces allows the skin to breathe and holds no pesticides. Textile to be made manufactured for the purpose of clothing holds 60% hemp and is mixed with 40% cotton.

Shampoo and conditioners:

A quick look at the back of your shampoo will show you the ingredients it is made up of. You won’t be able to recognize half of the products but products from’ The wonder seed’ are made up of natural ingredients and add hemp as a nourishing agent.

Medicine

Hemp can also be used for its medicinal purposes to treat gout, constipation and menstrual illness. The plant has been used as a medicine since ages in Egypt, China, Persia and early days of the USA but got a ban in 1939.

Why Hemp Could Become the Next Biggest Cash Crop and How to earn Profit from it?

Hemp contains an abundance of benefits and its varied uses, mean it’s a fantastic crop. The natural question is that isn’t it dominating the headlines. The reason for the Government ban is because of its relation to its cousin marijuana. Its growth was stifled till the turn of the millennium when organizations like The Hemp Industry Association fought a legal battle to get it legalized again. Canada started benefiting from the product in 1998 when growing industrial hemp was re-legalized. Thus Canada is one step ahead of US because it can extract Cannabidiol (CBD) while its neighbour can only use it for research and development.

Naturally, Splendid Enterprise Inc. has banked on hemp products and it would be interesting to keep a closer on its stock. The company has a growing hemp-based product portfolio and has employed state of the art technology in operations. The company’s Hemp Omega product paired with encapsulation technology proved to be a breakthrough as it enables the combination of CBD oil with normal products. Naturally, Splendid’s hemp-based powder passes food and drug manufacturing standards and is set to revolutionize the industry.

The Canadian manufacturer’s NATERA and ElevateMe products are present in 1200 stores including Whole Foods, Costco and Sobeys. The future is bright because the company has a significant opportunity to boost its exports by focusing on countries like Australia where hemp legislation has been relaxed.

Do you have an inclination towards cooking? Prepare to make your CBD Edibles and kick start your earning.

You might be wondering how you can make CBD edibles that pack the right combination of taste and nutritional benefits. CBD is found in marijuana just like THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), but THC has high potency while CBD oil contains minor traces of THC. This is the reason that you don’t experience an intense high while consuming CBE oil, unlike THC consumption. However, you do benefit from the pain relief and relaxation benefits. CBD oil’s richness in Omega 3 oils means it can contribute to a healthy diet.
