Hempire

Today on Hempire Dr. Mitch Earleywine is joined by Eric Steenstra, President of Vote Hemp. Vote Hemp is a national, single-issue, nonprofit organization dedicated to the acceptance of and free market for industrial hemp, low-THC oilseed and fiber varieties of Cannabis, and to changes in current law to allow U.S. farmers to grow the crop.

While it will take years to research all the potential medical applications of cannabinoids, there are thousands of anecdotal stories of people using cannabis to treat a variety of conditions. Tune in to hear personal stories from people positively impacted by the use of cannabinoids. Kim Clark is the parent of a child who uses cannabis for medicinal purposes and she has an amazing, inspirational story to share.

Today on Hempire Dr. Mitch Earleywine welcomes back Joel Stanley, Founder of CW Hemp to discuss the possible avenues of cannabis development. A great debate is emerging around whether naturally occurring cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant should be developed as pharmaceutical drugs or dietary supplements. Just how far will special interests go to control these compounds in the cannabis plant?
