I bought some hemp oil this weekend

[Angry Dragon]

is holder coming to get me??

[tridim]

1. Hemp oil is legal.

So no, Holder isn't coming to get you.

[Bandit]

2. Hemp oil is a by product of marijuana and while many states may say it is legal

The Federal Government does not...

[Lars39]

3. Hemp oil isn't hash oil.

It's made from hemp seeds. Totally different.

[1-Old-Man]

5. And that my friend is what we call "a god damned shame".

Alas ...

[tridim]

6. And Home Depot sells hemp seed bird food.

But I think the seeds are sterile, like DEA brains.

[Bandit]

9. Hemp is marijuana.

Hemp is marijuana that has been fine tuned for its fiber and oil instead of the THC factor but make no mistake it is the same plant...

[Lars39]

12. Having sat thru Biology lectures

from a professor who at that time held one of only six licenses in the US to grow and study marijuana, I'll disagree.

[tridim]

15. Hemp and Marijuana are both varieties of Cannabis.

One variety is grown for fiber and other materials, the other is grown for medicine and recreation. The Cannabis genus is very diverse.

I wouldn't say "hemp is marijuana", though both raw crops are Cannabis.

4. Maybe they should tell Amazon.com

because they have about a dozen different kinds for sale.

[Angry Dragon]

8. That seems strange

A product of an illegal crop is legal ..............

21. Hem farming passed THREE times

in California and was vetoed all three times by three different governors. The last time was by Gov. Jerry Brown.

10. Well what else are ya sposta do

when ya got a squeaky hemp?




If holder had to stay up all night listening to that racket he'd probably come over and oil your hemp himself!

[jwirr]

11. What are you using it for?

[Angry Dragon]

17. I plan to try it for cooking

I happened to see it and thought i would give it a try

[green for victory]

20. Don't heat it very hot or use it for frying- salad oil or low heat baking only

Hemp oil smoke point (...) is under 330°F, 165 C

[Angry Dragon]

22. bottle says use like an olive oil

[green for victory]

23. Don't believe me, search "hemp oil" + frying or some such thing

I don't know a lot of things but I do know about hemp oil.

Maybe that label on the bottle is referring to extra virgin olive oil, which has a similar smoke point. Virgin olive oil shouldn't be used for frying either. Heating any oil past the smoke point and then eating it is not healthy. Look up "oil smoke point"


Olive Oil - Extra Virgin 320°F

Grape Seed 485ºF or 252ºC
Avocado 480ºF or 249ºC
Sesame 410ºF or 210ºC
Canola 400ºF or 204ºC
Macademia 385ºF or 196ºC

Most people fry things at 350-375 degrees.

"Hempseed oil has a relatively low smoke point and is not suitable for frying."

24. Never said I did not believe you

[RandiFan1290]

13. Manitoba Harvest?

They have some damn fine hemp oil and seed hearts.

[Angry Dragon]

18. Braham & Murray ....... UK

[Comrade Grumpy]

14. The DEA refuses to make any distinction between hemp and marijuana.

That's why we can't grow industrial hemp here.

The DEA also tried to block the import of hemp products that could be ingested, but got knocked down in the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals a few years back.

The ban on growing low-THC industrial hemp is perhaps the single stupidest thing about pot prohibition, and that's saying something.

[Angry Dragon]

19. I keep on calling my Senators and rep to have them draft a bill

to allow the growing of hemp

create jobs
reduce the use of oil
increase tax revenues through more jobs
thousands of uses for hemp products
