Best new franchise yet.

   Franchises are the safest bet for a new business in the country.  Add a new idea, or a new product "that is hot" and you have a recipe to make some large cash. 

One new and hot idea is the green rush and hemp products.  Marijuana is making some new wealthy people in Colorado, and California.


Another hot item that is sweeping this nation is the vaporizer movement. Vaporizer stores are popping up all over the United States.  "And the customers are buying". I deal with vaporizer stores every day in my business and they are reporting very large sales.  They make the majority of their profits on the vape kits. The E juice is very cheap and the margins are not there for huge profits on that end.  All that is now changing with the newest trend (Hemp CBD Oil) for vaping.

There is profits in the Hemp CBD Oil. Vape stores can buy the oil as a base vape and add to there own juices.  Now they are making a  200 to 500 percent markup. This markup is much larger then the markup on the vape kits that they are already cashing in on.

A franchise that is just getting started is putting both the profit machines together, and allows folks without big money to get into this booming business at a low cost.  Hempies CBD has a concession trailer franchise called "Hemp CBD Station".   Roll up with one of these to any outdoor event and open the "cash doors"! 

Hemp CBD oil is a legal product in the united sates since there is no THC. Hempies CBD has CBD oils that are highly concentrated and can be used to help with a number of ailments.  Pain, anxiety, depression, seizures, post traumatic stress, and so much more.

Hemp CBD products, vaporizers, and a vape station go very well together for huge profits.               

Check this one out! If you are thinking a franchise might be the way to great financial gain.

Hemp CBD Sation Franchise.

Hemp movement, and the vaporizer movement is coming to your area.  Looks like a company has rolled all into one. Hempies  CBD has rolled out a Hemp CBD Vape station to be sold as a franchise.

It really is an awesome Idea. The cost for these concession trailers are far less then a set up for a brick and mortar store. Franchise owners will be able  to lock in an area and pull in the cash. These are concession trailers that carry hemp products.

The way the law works is that hemp products can be sold anyplace in the 50 states as long as there is no THC, or at least .03.%.  The stores will carry vaporizers, CBD vape oil, and medicines that are loaded with CBD, and CBDa.

I think this country is tired of the doctors who set up and sell their strong narcotics that make people sick just taking them. Instead of going to the doctor, maybe we should go to a hemp station and get something that will work better, and with far less side affects.

I for one think this is the way of the future. 

South Carolina First on Hemp Wagon

A man who was issued the first state permit to grow industrial hemp said he and a nonprofit group of growers and activists hope to plant a 25-acre field in Southwest Oregon this spring.
Edgar Winters, of Eagle Point, Ore., who describes himself as director of the Oregon Agriculture Food & Rural Consortium, acknowledged there are problems obtaining seeds for planting and other complications, but said he is optimistic. Winters also said warehousing and processing facilities will be ready to go when a crop is harvested in late summer.
“We are in position to do 40 tons a day at our processing mill,” Winters said. “We’ve got our ducks in a row.”
Getting seed to plant is one of the major hurdles. Importing it requires the approval of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, and the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon State University are working with the DEA on that process. In addition, Winters said a major Canadian hemp company, Hemp Textiles International, has breeders’ rights to its seed and will not allow Oregon growers to retain seed for planting. Meanwhile, the existing state statute requires hemp seed produced in Oregon to be replanted.
“We’re at a standstill,” Winters said.
He said hemp seeds might be available from Russia, Hungary, Australia or New Zealand.
“We have to import to get started,” Winters said. “We don’t want our farmers to sit around another year.”
Winters’ LinkedIn profile lists him as self-employed and the chief operations officer for Natural Good Medicines. It also lists him as a master gardener and involved in research and development services for industrial hemp. He said people often hear his name and mistake him for Texas rock and blues musician Edgar Winter.
Ron Pence, who oversees the industrial hemp growing program for the state agriculture department, said the seed issue is one of three tweaks the Legislature may want to make it the 2015 session.
As written, a 2009 state statute says hemp seed collected in an Oregon harvest can only be used to produce a new crop — not crushed for oil or other high-value products, for example, or used as livestock feed. Pence said the restriction appears to be an oversight.
Another issue is the requirement for a three-year growing and handling license and a three-year seed handling permit, each of which cost $500 a year, or $1,500 for the required three years.
“A person could easily invest $3,000 in a license and permit before spinning a wheel to produce hemp,” Pence said. The fees may be restructured to an annual basis, at $500 each, so a person could try his or her hand at it for a year at less expense.
A provision that requires a minimum production area of 2.5 acres also may be reconsidered, Pence said.
The Oregon Legislature legalized hemp cultivation in 2009, but the law was never implemented because the U.S. Department of Justice classified hemp the same as marijuana. The federal classification remains, but the justice department has said it won’t interfere in states that have legalized hemp production if they adopt a robust regulatory system. Industrial hemp was included in the November 2014 ballot measure that legalized recreational marijuana use, possession and cultivation.
Hemp is related to marijuana but has a much lower concentration of THC, the chemical compound that makes pot users high. Industrial hemp was widely grown and milled in the Midwest especially through the 1940s, but faded. Supporters of hemp’s revival note that it has multiple uses, including for fiber, fabric, food, oils, cosmetics, plastics and many more.
Russ Karrow, former head of the Crop and Soil Science Department at Oregon State University’s College of Agricultural Sciences, has said hemp grown for fiber would do well in the Willamette Valley. But hemp grown for seed, probably a more valuable crop, would require summer irrigation, Karrow said. Hermiston and Treasure Valley, in Eastern Oregon, have warmer growing days than the Willamette Valley and would be the best places to grow hemp, Karrow said in interviews with the Capital Press.

Is Hemp the same as Marijuana?

There is some differences of the two.

The difference is in its use. Hemp and Marijuana both come from the same plant - Cannabis Sativa L. The term 'Hemp' commonly refers to the industrial/commercial use of the cannabis stalk and seed for textiles, foods, papers, body care products, detergents, plastics and building materials. The term 'marijuana' refers to the medicinal, recreational or spiritual use involving the smoking of cannabis flowers. Industrial hemp contains only about 0.3% - 1.5% THC (Tetrahydrocannabinoids, the intoxicating ingredients that make you high) while marijuana contains about 5% - 10% or more THC. Hemp fibre is the longest, strongest and most durable of all natural fibres. Hemp cultivation requires no chemicals, pesticides or herbicides. Grown in rotation with other crops such as corn and legumes, hemp farming is completely sustainable. Hemp produces four times as much fibre per acre as pine trees. Hemp tree-free paper can be recycled up to seven times, compared with three times for pine-pulp based papers. Hemp is easy to grow, and actually conditions soil where it grows. The seed and seed-oil are high in protein, essential fatty and amino acids, and vitamins. Hemp would be an ideal source of biomass for fuel, and hemp Ethanol burns very cleanly.
Hemp and humanity have been linked for over 10,000 years. Hemp was our first agricultural crop, and remained the planet's largest crop and most important industry until late last century. Most of the non-Western world never stopped growing hemp, and today hemp for commercial use is grown mostly by China, Hungary, England, Canada, Australia, France, Italy, Spain, Holland, Germany, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine, India and throughout Asia.

Differences Between Industrial Hemp and Marijuana

   Industrial hemp is a variety of cannabis sativa that has a long history of use in the United States. 

However, since the 1950s it has been lumped into the same category of marijuana, and thus the extremely versatile crop was doomed in the United States. Industrial hemp is technically from the same species of plant that psychoactive marijuana comes from. However, it is from a different variety, or subspecies that contains many important differences. The main differences between industrial hemp and marijuana will be discussed below.

   Industrial hemp has low THC levels compared to marijuana specifically cultivated for personal psychoactive use. Whereas marijuana that can be smoked usually contains between five and ten percent THC, industrial hemp contains about one-tenth of that. In order to get a psychoactive effect, one would need to smoke ten or twelve hemp cigarettes over a very short period of time. 
The reason for the low THC content in hemp is that most THC is formed in resin glands on the buds and flowers of the female cannabis plant. Industrial hemp is not cultivated to produce buds, and therefore lacks the primary component that forms the marijuana high. Furthermore, industrial hemp has higher concentrations of a chemical called Cannabidiol (CBD) that has a negative effect on THC and lessens its psychoactive effects when smoked in conjunction. 

   Compared to cannabis sativa indica, cannabis sativa sativa (industrial hemp variety) has a much stronger fiber. This fiber can be used in anything from rope and blankets to paper. Marijuana fiber has a low tensile strength and will break or shred easily, making it a poor fibrous plant when compared to industrial hemp.

   Industrial hemp also grows differently than THC-containing cannabis. Hemp is typically grown up, not out, because the focus is not on producing buds but on producing length of stalk. In this way, hemp is a very similar crop to bamboo. The stalk contains the fiber and hard, woody core material that can be used for a 
variety of purposes, even carpentry. Generally, THC-producing marijuana plants are grown to an average of five feet in height. Industrial hemp on the other hand is grown to a height of ten to fifteen feet before harvest. Also, it is fairly difficult to grow concealed marijuana within industrial hemp crops as the DEA 
alleges. Since industrial hemp is grown so close together and is generally a very narrow, vertical growth crop, any THC-producing marijuana would stick out like a sore thumb. Its wide growth would require a large amount of space to itself in order to get adequate sunlight from beyond the tops of the competing industrial hemp plants. 

   The two also differ in the areas that they can be effectively grown. THC-producing Marijuana must be grown in generally warm and humid environments in order to produce the desired quantity and quality of THC-containing buds. However, since industrial hemp does not contain these buds, and the hardy parts of the plant are the more desired, it can be grown in a wider range of areas. Generally, industrial hemp grows best on fields that provide high yields for corn crops, which includes most of the Southwest, Southeast, and Northeast United States. Furthermore, since industrial hemp can use male plants as well as female plants (since the object is not THC production), higher crop yields can result.

Hemp also has little potential to produce high-content THC when pollinated. As long as industrial hemp plants are pollinated by members of their own crop, then the genetics will remain similar with low levels of THC. 

One would have to place several marijuana plants in close vicinity in over several generations order to alter the genetics substantially of the offspring.

   Since there are so many differences between industrial hemp and high-THC marijuana, it seems to make sense that it would be a fostered, rather than demonized crop. Although technically hemp is not illegal to grow, it requires obtaining a special permit from the DEA. These permits are rarely given out and require that the crop be surrounded by security measures such as fences, razor wire, security guards, or dogs. For a crop that has little-to-no potential to get people high, the current attitude is both irresponsible and draconian. 

Industrial hemp could transform the economy of the United States in a positive and beneficial way, and therefore should be exploited to its full potential.

Why CBD and not THC?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, and it is a compound which has shown remarkable benefits in children with severe epilepsy. However, CBD is just one of the estimated 66 cannabinoids which work in conjunction with over 400 additional compounds each and every time someone uses marijuana.
There indeed has been a significant amount of CBD legislation which has been enacted in the past year. In fact, 11 states currently have laws on the books which allow only for marijuana with a high CBD concentration as an option for medical marijuana patients.
What is important to understand about the marijuana plant is that each plant has a particular chemical profile, and the percentage of cannabinoids found this profile vary from plant to plant. Marijuana cultivators can increase or decrease the cannabinoid percentages in each plant through selective breeding.
In addition to cannabinoids, the chemical profile of the marijuana plant contains other compounds including terpenoids, amino acids, proteins, sugars, enzymes, fatty acids, esters, and flavinoids, just to name a few.  All of these compounds work together through a process called “entourage effect,” which is responsible for the therapeutic benefits of the marijuana plant.
First described in 1998 by Israeli scientists Shimon Ben-Shabat and Raphael Mechoulam, the basic idea  of the entourage effect is that the cannabinoids within the marijuana plant work together, or possess synergy, and affect the body in a mechanism similar to the body's own endocannabinoid system. This theory serves as the foundation for a relatively controversial idea within the pharmacology community, that in certain cases whole plant extractions serve as better therapeutic agents than individual chemical extractions.
Or to put it more plainly, the therapeutic effects of marijuana work better when the whole plant is used rather than when any of the compounds are used by themselves.
In addition to helping maximize the benefits of the plant, the entourage effect plays a role in helping to minimize the side effects of various cannabinoids. The most fitting example of this is CBD’s ability to modulate the potentially negative side effects of THC.
Many cannabis users are familiar with the side effect of increased anxiety and paranoia sometimes associated with cannabis consumption. Thanks to the entourage effect, research has shown that CBD can be effective in minimizing the anxiety associated with THC, lowering users’ feelings of paranoia. 
Ultimately, these new CBD medical marijuana bills are an attempt to acknowledge the medical benefits of marijuana in states where the politics of marijuana is otherwise untenable. However, by highlighting the benefits of one particular cannabinoid over another, lawmakers are continuing to perpetuate stigmas associated with marijuana use and denying many people the benefits of whole plant medicine.

Is Hemp CBD Legal?

As the news of the positive outcomes for some children with uncontrollable epilepsy who have been given a marijuana strain rich in cannabidiol (CBD) - the major non-psychoactive ingredient in marijuana - has spread, desperate parents of children with epilepsy have been clamoring for more information and a chance for their children to try the treatment.

Despite the fear that CBD-rich marijuana extracts can increase the risk of serious psychiatric disorders and long-term cognitive problems, we believe that the serious long- term effects that accompany the use of anti-epileptic drugs and a lifetime of intractable seizures cannot be ignored. The positive results that some people with epilepsy have been seeing from CBD-rich marijuana extracts are giving so many parents what they have been lacking for so long – hope.
Many people with severe epilepsy have tried a myriad of mind-numbing medications, brain surgeries, invasively implanted electrical stimulation devices, diets and alternative therapies, with little to no relief of their symptoms. While there may be some harmful effects from these CBD-rich marijuana extracts, they must be weighed against the very real dangers and challenges a constantly seizing child faces every day – a child who has no other treatments left to try.
Scientists and physicians have been quick to warn of the dangers of the marijuana extract because CBD use in people with epilepsy has yet to be clinically evaluated, due in part to the tight restriction the FDA and DEA have placed on marijuana and its compounds. It is currently classified as a Schedule 1 drug – the strictest level of regulation for a controlled substance. (see sidebar)

The United States Controlled Substances Act

Under the United States Controlled Substances Act, Schedule I substances are those that have the following findings:

A.	The drug or other substance has a high potential for abuse.
B.	The drug or other substance has no currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States.
C.	There is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision.

At CURE, we believe that there must be more research done on marijuana rich in CBD. At the present time, regulatory hurdles make it difficult for researchers to gain access to marijuana rich in CBD, but it is not impossible. There is no debate that the hoops researchers must jump through to obtain access to marijuana, or any chemical found in it, are hindering scientific advancement, and CURE is committed to helping researchers overcome these obstacles to advance research in this important area.
CURE recognizes that CBD and/or medical marijuana are not an answer for all children with epilepsy. Much more needs to be done to find treatments and a cure for all forms of epilepsy, which affects more people than multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy and Parkinson's combined – yet receives fewer federal dollars per patient than each of these. But parents and researchers are cautiously optimistic that this may be a promising new treatment on the horizon for some people. In fact, in true scientific spirit, scientists would no doubt desire to test not only pure CBD, but also high CBD/low THC cannabis, pure THC and other types of medical marijuana in epilepsy in order to clearly define the efficacy of these and other combinations on seizure control and the genesis of epilepsy.
Unfortunately, time is not on the side of many of these children with unrelenting seizures. Of course parents are going to do anything they can to help their children, even face the unknown, because the effects of long term, uncontrolled seizures are known – continued regression, intellectual disability, and even death. Safety and efficacy studies will take years to complete, and rightly so, but until then, compassionate use should be made available to the families suffering from severe, intractable epilepsy.

Hemp CBD (what can it do?)

Looking for answers about hemp cbd?  If your suffering from some type of pain, seizures, or anxiety then hemp oil may be your answer. I am certainly no doctor and would never try and diagnose or indicate that hemp cbd is a cure.

What I have found since I got into this business is this... I  receive phone calls from customers re-ordering their hemp oil that tell me there amazed at the way they feel now. A man in North Carolina explained to me it has completely stopped his anxiety attacks.  I got a phone call from a 21 year old man that was having  seizures 3-4 times a week and now has only had one seizure since using our products for a month.  One call was from a guy with pain in his back like me and now says he can get on the treadmill after years.

I started this business to make money.  Not knowing that the products would help so many. Its way more rewarding for me to know I am helping.  To my customers..... Thank you  for allowing me to help.     www.hempiescbd.com
