Canna Products USA Will Work With Colorado Hemp Farmers To Promote Domestic Hemp Crops

Canna Products USA's actions will create jobs for America's small farmers.

2014-03-25

GRAND RAPIDS, MI, March 25, 2014 (Press-News.org) Canna Products USA (CP USA), global manufacturers and distributors of industrial hemp, will work with America's industrial hemp farmers to legally grow and manufacture domestic hemp crops for its Tommy Chong, Yellow Emperor and Bluegrass Natural food, cosmetic and herbal hemp-product lines.

"We currently import 100% of our oil because federal laws have previously prohibited domestic hemp farming," says Bluegrass Natural Remedies CEO Adam Benge. "Since industrial hemp can now be legally grown in the U.S., we have an industry that will create well-paid employment together with a quality product. Federal officials have stated publicly that they will not pursue criminal charges for industrial hemp production and conservative lawmakers have approved research and development for universities in hemp-approved states such as Kentucky. We plan to create no fewer than 50 American jobs over the next 24 months as a result."

CP USA, a division of industrial hemp leader Bluegrass Natural Remedies, is now working with cannabis advocate Tommy Chong to produce his hemp cannabidiol (CBD) health and wellness line. Half of the CP USA product line is packaged and labeled with hemp materials. With a corporate mission to utilize hemp for all its business needs, Tommy Chong will also endorse CP USA's own product lines: Yellow Emperor supplements and Bluegrass Natural CBD-infused products.

CP USA plans to launch its all-natural one-ounce Tommy Chong hemp balm in the U.S. market in the second quarter of 2014, with additional products being introduced later. CP USA has also partnered with Canna-Saver, who will be its main wholesale distributor in Colorado.

"Company founder Joe Brown will tour with ComfyTree's Cannabis Academy, a traveling cannabis entrepreneurship conference hosted by ComfyTree Consulting," says Benge. "As a lecturer-partner in the academy, Joe will educate people on the medical uses of cannabidiol, a derivative of industrial hemp, and on starting a legal hemp business."

Cannabidiol is a non-addictive, non-psychoactive, medicinal component of industrial hemp with a wide range of therapeutic benefits. CP USA prides itself on being the first company in Michigan to legally manufacture industrial hemp products since 1937.

These statements have not been evaluated by the food and drug administration (FDA). These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Paleontologists assemble giant turtle bone from fossil discoveries made centuries apart

2014-03-25

PHILADELPHIA (Mar. 25, 2014)— "As soon as those two halves came together, like puzzle pieces, you knew it," said Ted Daeschler, PhD, associate curator of vertebrate zoology and vice president for collections at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University. That surprising puzzle assembly occurred in the fall of 2012, when Jason Schein, assistant curator of natural history at the New Jersey State Museum, visited the Academy's research collections to better identify and describe a recently-unearthed fossil. The discovery linked scientists from both museums to their ...

Recreational drug users who switch from ecstasy to mephedrone don't understand the dangers

2014-03-25

Contrary to popular belief among recreational drug users, mephedrone has several important differences when compared with MDMA, commonly known as ecstasy. These differences mean that mephedrone could leave a user with acute withdrawal symptoms and indicate that it may have a higher potential for developing dependence than MDMA according to a study published in British Journal of Pharmacology. "Although users report that mephedrone produces similar psychoactive effects to MDMA, these two drugs produce different changes in the brain and the adverse effects they produce, ...

Mentally challenging jobs may keep your mind sharp long after retirement

ANN ARBOR—A mentally demanding job may stress you out today but can provide important benefits after you retire, according to a new study. "Based on data spanning 18 years, our study suggests that certain kinds of challenging jobs have the potential to enhance and protect workers' mental functioning in later life," said Gwenith Fisher, a faculty associate at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research and assistant professor of psychology at Colorado State University. The research analyzed data on 4,182 participants in the U-M Health and Retirement Study, ...

New discovery finds missing hormone in birds

2014-03-24

How does the Arctic tern (a sea bird) fly more than 80,000 miles in its roundtrip North Pole-to-South Pole migration? How does the Emperor penguin incubate eggs for months during the Antarctic winter without eating? How does the Rufous hummingbird, which weighs less than a nickel, migrate from British Columbia to Mexico? These physiological gymnastics would usually be influenced by leptin, the hormone that regulates body fat storage, metabolism and appetite. However, leptin has gone missing in birds - until now. University of Akron researchers have discovered leptin ...

Research reveals new depths of complexity in nerve cells

2014-03-24

Research from the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation reveals a new complexity to nerve cells in the brain that could affect future therapies aimed at altering mood and memory in humans. OMRF scientist Kenneth Miller, Ph.D., studied the function of a common protein (known as CaM Kinase II) in tiny roundworms called C. elegans. His research appears in the latest issue of the journal Genetics. "CaM Kinase II is very abundant in the brain, so it has been heavily studied," Miller said. "But this is the first time anybody has seen results like this." Using a method ...

Life lessons: Children learn aggressive ways of thinking from violent video games

2014-03-24

AMES, Iowa – Children who repeatedly play violent video games are learning thought patterns that will stick with them and influence behaviors as they grow older, according to a new study by Iowa State University researchers. The effect is the same regardless of age, gender or culture. Douglas Gentile, an associate professor of psychology and lead author of the study published in JAMA Pediatrics, says it is really no different than learning math or to play the piano. "If you practice over and over, you have that knowledge in your head. The fact that you haven't played ...

Obamacare: 42 percent of Americans can't explain a deductible

2014-03-24

The week before open enrollment closes for new health care exchanges, a study by researchers at the USC Schaeffer Center for Health Policy and Economics and the USC Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research shows that those who might potentially benefit the most from the Affordable Care Act — including those earning near the Federal Poverty Level — are also the most clueless about health care policies. The opening of health care exchanges last year was roiled in controversy over technical glitches. Obamacare has since enrolled more than 5 million people, according ...

One in 10 male, same-sex Craigslist ads seek men who don't identify as gay

2014-03-24

March 24, 2014 -- Online sexual hook-ups present a unique opportunity to explore many factors of decision-making that inform sexual health. A study conducted by Eric Schrimshaw, PhD, at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health and Martin J. Downing, Jr., PhD, of the National Development and Research Institutes, found evidence that men having sex with men use the Internet to find sexual partners who do not identify as gay, either to fulfill a fantasy or because it allows anonymous sexual encounters without discovery. The findings are online in the journal, ...
