But, some of us like our trichomes intact

I saw the caption and knew I had to share what I believe to be known by some but not by enough. CBD ISOLATE HAS ALMOST NO THERAPEUTIC VALUE. I have made so many CBD isolate products for people and the ONLY ones that have worked are the full spec products a buddy helped me out with. Now, I am only willing to work with full spectrum cbd oils and for the many people who don’t use cannabis that ask me about CBD use - I tell them full spec of bust. Products with isolate aren’t worth it IMO
Wholesale CBD isn’t my market. I buy CBD oil by the ounce and its always reasonable around 20/g. What are yall paying for full spectrum cbd isolate?

If you properly set up the t4, it doesnt butcher up the buds. You loose about the same trich as dried hand trimming.
…at least the way I’ve been doing it the last 6+yrs.
Yall with arthritis/joint pain conditions may find a remedy in the combination of the following:
1TBLSP Opti-MSM
1tsp Magnesium Citrate powder
1/4 tsp Coral Calcium powder
1/2 tsp Camu Camu powder
6-8 oz. orange juice
Add powders to juice, shake for about 15 seconds, then down in a few gulps… wont take long for results…only about a week, maybe less. Drink once daily.

Enjoy having less or no discomfort!! Maybe you can mix in some CBD isolate for fun.

it rubs the lotion on it’s skin?
That seems like it would have distinct benefits over huffing ones meds

And absolutely no hate- I’ve had more people than I can count tell me this. Have yet to see anyone deliver on these claims over the past 2 or 3 years. I was processing anywhere from 50 to 100lbs a week for almost 3 years. Not a lot but definitely not a small amount either. Machine trim biomass NEVER delivers what I see with hand trimmed material. Everyone says they don’t use lubricant on their spinner, that their specific spinner doesn’t beat up buds, that their machine trimmed buds look/smoke the same but the quality of extract and/or bud smoking experience with machine trimmed material says otherwise.
If it works for you and your customers, keep doing you. I just cannot agree until I see better results

Funny heard this concept today
This is in the Netherlands so no competition
For 9.95€ you get a 30 ml bottle of 5% cbd full spectrum every month in the mail you subscribe for 6 months minimum

This right here. Folks are straight up hoodwinked regarding pricing. I have heard countless anecdotes from extended family and friends who have paid over $100 for a 15ML bottle of "full spectrum hemp oil and felt absolutely zero effect. Most times the tinctures they purchased contained significantly less than advertised cannabinoid content, and some companies even refused to provide COAs. They are obviously turned off by the painful cost slanted outcome.
In my personal experience and with customers, tinctures containing more than just CBD and microdoses of D9, are myriad more effective. One that I do has amounts of CBC, CBG, CBN, CBDV in additon to CBD. I still think we are still in for the next wave of fadscam from companies that are all profit no passion regarding hemp/marijuana. **deep sadness.

End product liability insurance is incredibly expensive for those of you who haven’t researched it. A lot of our growers had considered retailing their own products but abandoned that tract when they encountered the liability costs.
We can appreciate that this article created buzz and generated a predictable balance between worry and engagement. We think that is where our appreciation ends.

1- CBD and hemp- As an industry, it is no secret that we operate among many peers who practice questionable ethics in business. Hemp is medicine when it is grown to be medicinal. What is done with hemp in production is human, and this is where the moral hazard exists. Some producers pursue quality and work to market products that are truly holistic medicine. Others bottom-feed, riding the coattails of the well-intentioned among us, and selling so-called snake oil because the majority of consumers cannot tell the difference. Is that an issue of quality or tactics? And more importantly, what allows for this to happen? The answer is broken politics, and bent capitalism.
2- Broken politics- That two opposing definitions of hemp exist is 2020 is a reminder of how far the industry still has to rebound from nearly 100 years of misinformation and legal purgatory. That the Federal lawmakers allow this status quo to exist and to cause as much bent capitalism as is taking place in the interim is even crazier. The mentality of the Federal Government seems to be to wait and see what happens. Food products are being sold for human and pet ingestion. Smokable and vapable products are being sold for consumption. And the FDA cannot even find the time to embrace high quality producers to formulate quality standards for consumer protection. There is not enough scientific data in existence to prove or disprove the content of this Vice article, therefore, it is an opinion piece by a publication that monetizes clicks to exist. Rolling Stone would like its game plan back… Pfizer and Astra Zeneca love this… wake us up when this is over, please.
3- Bent capitalism- Most of the blame lies in our collective mirror. We as a group have a responsibility to police ourselves. We, industry leaders, should form a self-regulatory authority, similar to FINRA for finance and investments. developing quality standards that exceed what will be asked by the Feds and states, holding the door to the industry for new entrants to have a compliant path to participation in CBD and hemp, and blasting offenders so the world can see. We should start this here and now by pointing the other finger at Amazon for a) allowing the sale of snake oil CBD products by their barriers to participation and entry, and for turning away medicinal producers by the same policies and procedures that willfully let the snakes among us market to their audience. Their audience is 55% of e-commerce. Yikes!
Our opinion: keep pushing, and contact us if you have interest in partnering up to clean up our industry.

#3 - Yes! I’ve been an advocate of self-policing via that model for some time. To date, the industry has been more about feeding on itself vs. working together towards a common goal. That needs to change.

Relatively cheap retail prices. I think i can offer cheaper prices just cuz im doing it alone, and using my own personal space and time to store and fulfill orders.
Many others get way too big and end up having a bigger overhead than the product is actually worth.
I started cuz i was honestly tired of directing people to stuff that was available but 3x the price that it should be, didnt feel good knowing that cbd is so cheap.

Just curious do you have end product liability insurance?
I was considering doing the same but after reading the post above that @Estokha made I’m wondering if that’s something I should really be considering.
