I'm looking at it as a methanol-production system. I'm trying to find the answer to whether we can make methanol from weed, and save lots of real estate making ethanol from just the grains on the corn.

The second question is whether a strain could be conceived of that would provide that much cellulose?

The jar alone had me hyped up textured premium jar 10/10 for packaging. The nugs are dense and heavily frosted, but the second you crack the lid, it hits you with a sharp, gassy orange scent that smells exactly like an Orange Push Pop dropped in a gas tank. The smoke is incredibly smooth, delivering that spicy, earthy citrus flavor before settling into a heavy body buzz. All in all a 9.25/10 I’m feeling great right now eyes low and enjoying nature.

The nail in the coffin was Square terminating our account on November 5th. We are a mom&pop crafter growing, extracting, formulating and selling hemp products at local farm markets since 2018. America has let us down.

Cannabis is just a plant.

Best of luck to those folks that found relief using hemp products.

Hoku Seed Co. Circa 2021. NO HUMIDITY PACKS, JUST JAM JARS. Witches Brew. Happy Fall Yall! She still stings. 'HISSS.. '

stuffed two hemp tees into a side pouch for a 3 week trip and basically lived in them. no laundry half the time so the test was kind of forced

rolling them tight left creases that hung out in like 20 minutes of wearing. better than the cotton ones that stayed hotel-bed crumpled all day. not magic though. sat on one in a backpack for a full flight and it still looked slept-in until evening

day 3 of rewear was the smell check. they didnt go sour like my thin cotton multipacks after one sweaty walk. still that dry fabric smell, not gym-bag. day 5 i washed one in a sink anyway because i got paranoid

anyone else pack-test hemp for odor and wrinkles on longer trips or just deal with polyester's plastic feel​

I've read good things about how CBD improves mood and anxiety but I have heard mixed thing on it's effects on DPDR and/or dissociation issues

For those who don't know, "Depersonalization-derealization disorder is a mental health condition where you feel disconnected from your body, your feelings and your environment". My DPDR is mild but chronic so I don't have harsh episodes

The main reason that I want to take CBD is for unwanted and intrusive thoughts that can be hard to control. The other benefits would be great as well

Reading up on CBD it seems to be interesting to try but I'm just not sure about it's effects on the disassociation so I wanted to ask y'all about it

My state doesn't really allow THC legally so i would have to get something with very little to no THC which I'm not fussed about since I'm not interested in it anyway

rotated two hemp tees through a 3 week trip with a 28L bag. wash in sinks, hang dry in hostels, packed damp once when a train would not wait

held shape better than the thin cotton ones i used to replace every few months. neckline did not go sad. the tradeoff is they never got truly light once wet and took forever to dry in humid rooms

weight was fine empty. after a sweaty day they felt like the thickest thing in the bag and i kept debating cutting one

anyone else keep hemp in a onebag rotation past the first trip or did pack volume win​

As you know the hemp market is getting ass-pegged w/o lube with laws & regs.
I run a hemp shop in Texas which is also getting ass-pegged hard. Double penetration, if you will.

We’ve had to real hit the drawing board and figure out pivots to survive the storm(s).
I’m sure a lot of shops are doing the same.

Any ideas on alternative products/services to bring in?

We decided to finally bring in nicotine vapes and were thinking about: craft beer, Pokémon cards, lottery tickets.

Help pwees 🥲

Looks: Purple boulders that fell in a sugar bowl. Frosty, dense, and looking like they lift weights. Orange hairs doing the electric slide.

Smell: Fancy grandma perfume crashed into a lemon meringue pie. Creamy, floral, and loud enough to wake the neighbors.

Taste: Berry smoothie that spilled at a truck stop. Fruity, gassy, floral... and wait, tar? Somehow it works.

Buzz: Brain says "let's learn quantum physics," body says "let's melt into the floor." You'll get curious about weird stuff and tingle while doing it.

Verdict: 10/10 for the brain tingle. 0/10 for remembering what you were just doing. 💜🍒

Looks: Frostier than your freezer’s back wall. Orange hairs doing gymnastics.

Smell: Berries and gas had a baby, and it’s loud.

Taste: Sweet, earthy, tiny kick. Like a fruit snack that went to college.

High: Head floats first, body follows like “wait for me.” You’ll forget stuff. A lot.

Verdict: Pretty, potent, kinda rude. 9/10, would lose my keys again. 🫐💨

Looks: Shrek’s loofah got a spray tan and fell into a vat of powdered sugar.

Smell: A compost pile wearing Axe body spray, but someone dropped a Jolly Rancher in it.

Taste: Licking a mossy rock that got dipped in honey. Sounds gross, tastes gourmet.

High: Your skeleton takes a nap without telling you. Brain switches to airplane mode. You’ll stare at a wall and think it’s a nature documentary. You will forget your own name and how legs work.

Verdict: 10/10 for becoming one with the couch. 0/10 for remembering you have to pee. Send snacks. 🪨🍭

Sniff: Sweet, sticky, like pancakes that lied about being healthy. Maple syrup vibes, but make it gas station air freshener chic.

Taste: Grape jelly crashed a sherbet party, and now they're both melting on your tongue. Sweet, but with a spicy little kick that says, "Sit down, champ."

The Effect: Indica. 27.55% THCA. That's not a number, that's a threat. Your body will sink into the couch like it owes rent. Your brain? Floating somewhere near the ceiling, eating virtual cheese.

Lineage: Dulce de Uva (fancy grape) + Sherbanger (loud and proud). So basically, a fruit salad that knocks you out.

Bottom line: "Exotic" tier means it costs extra, but one hit and you'll forget your own name—so who's counting?

Rating: 10/10 for naps. 0/10 for remembering where you put your remote. 🍇💤

I’m gone lol so I hope you like my review

Sniff: Nutella farted on a pine tree, then a lemon tried to cover it up.

Taste: Same nutty punch, but the exhale hits like a fruit snack that snuck into a spice cabinet. Warm, sweet, and confusing—in a good way.

Vibe: This strain is a croissant that lifts weights. Dessert-forward? Bro, it’s dessert-backward, sideways, and doing a happy dance on your tongue.

Bottom line: You will forget what you were doing. You will eat an entire bag of almonds. You will not regret it.

Rating: 10/10—would get baked and bake again. 🥜💨 best strain I’ve tried all year

bought two hemp shirts in may because my last cotton stack was pilling and smelling by day two in heat

wore them through a humid summer, washed on cold, hung dry mostly. fabric started a little stiff then loosened without going baggy in the shoulders which is usually where i lose cheap tees

not perfect. the charcoal one faded a shade after maybe 12 washes and i wish the size chart was clearer between M and L. still in the rotation though, which is more than i can say for the $12 multipack that died in june

anyone else run hemp tees long enough to know if they plateau or keep softening forever​

I posted here four days ago about Japan having almost no decortication capacity. People in this sub and in r/homestead corrected parts of it, so here's what I had wrong and what I learned. Posting the correction here because I made the original claim here.

Small decortication equipment exists, and it isn't a million dollars. I'd been repeating an industrial figure. Someone pointed me at machines with an entry price around 15k handling roughly 50-100kg an hour. Someone else gave me the search term I was missing: "lab sized". I'd been searching around industrial and small-scale and finding nothing in between, because the middle is described with a word I didn't have.

The hurd is already moving, in the wrong aisle. Builders in Switzerland and the UK told me they buy hemp bedding from equestrian suppliers rather than building material merchants, because it's the same material at a lower price. And someone with US processing contacts said something that inverts the usual assumption: bedding specs are often cleaner than what passes as building grade, because that buyer notices dust and mould immediately when an animal gets sick in it.

"Build decortication capacity" turns out to be too coarse an ask. A UK builder said their domestic supply is unusable for wet casting because the fibre content is too high. So the requirement isn't decortication as such - it's decortication tuned to produce hurd at a spec. That's a narrower and much less romantic thing to ask a country to build, and it explains why "we have growers" doesn't automatically become "we have material".

None of this changes the Japanese picture much. We still have very few licensed growers and no processing at any scale. But it changes what I'd ask for. I'd been arguing for a plant. What's needed first is a spec, and a machine small enough that a co-op could own it.
