Hemp, Inc. Signs Lucrative Consultant Agreement With HQ Global Education, Inc.

Spring Hope, NC, March 13, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —
Hemp, Inc. (OTC:HEMP) is pleased to announce that it has signed a consulting agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc. (OTC:HQGE), a scientific research development company, to provide consulting services in an effort to help HQ Global Education, Inc. expand into the hemp-CBD industry.  According to the agreement, HQGE will receive professional, ongoing, consulting services in the hemp-CBD market, specifically in the areas of growing high quality organically-grown CBD-rich hemp, harvesting, extracting and creating a variety of high-end CBD products for its business and partnerships in the industry.

Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) said, “This agreement with HQ Global Education, Inc. is a natural fit for both our companies and the timing couldn’t be better. The hemp industry is projected to grow 700% and hit $1.8 billion by 2020.” This statistic includes the all-natural, non-psychoactive supplement cannabidiol (CBD) that is derived from the industrial hemp plant. Cannabidiol helps boost both human and animal endocannabinoid systems. With CBDs taking America by storm due to its medicinal and health benefits, HQ Global Education, Inc. executives feel this is the perfect time to enter the market.  The enormous growth potential of the CBD market will provide HQ Global Education, Inc. with a pipeline of opportunities they can take advantage of by using their extensive industry research and voluminous body of information on specific CBD combinations through their Educational and Extraction divisions.
CBD is one of the more than 85 cannabinoids so far identified in marijuana and hemp. Unlike the better-known compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t cause a high. However, thousands of studies have demonstrated that CBD clearly possesses a potent array of therapeutic benefits, including antioxidant and neuroprotective properties.

CBD that is derived from hemp is legal to import and purchase in all 50 U.S. states, without a prescription. Additionally, cannabidiol itself isn’t listed in the Controlled Substances Act like THC and marijuana. With the recent influx in competition and a lack of regulation, consumers must educate themselves to ensure they are buying high-quality CBD. Hemp, Inc.’s NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor, housed in its 85,000 square-foot multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility, in Spring Hope, North Carolina, utilizes a super extraction process to extract the purest, healthiest oils.
The overall plan from this signed consultant agreement is to eventually joint venture with HQ Global Education, Inc.  whereby Hemp, Inc. will house and operate a HQ Global Education, Inc. CBD extractor in its 85,000-square foot facility. Now that Hemp, Inc. has created its Industrial Hemp Manufacturing and Processing Infrastructure (Division One), the company is now focusing its attention on its Hemp Oil Extraction Infrastructure (Division 2), thus creating a perfect time window for the two companies to combine their strengths and assets.

“Hemp, Inc.’s Division One is up and running strong.   We are producing and selling Spill-Be-Gone, fiber, and LCMs and we have hundreds of thousands of pounds of LCMs in inventory on top of the millions of pounds of Kenaf that we are processing on a daily basis.  Going forward, we are now focused on building out the hemp CBD extraction infrastructure.  Our strategy is to build the world’s largest Hemp Oil Extraction Infrastructure by using multiple companies… the first of which is HQ Global Education, Inc.  (OTC: HQGE) We’re creating an infrastructure comprised of a network of joint ventures by housing HQGE’s future extractor at the largest multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North America.  This allows the timeframe to manufacture and market CBD products to be greatly reduced and we expect to see product and revenues for HQ Global Education, Inc. in record-breaking time. With experts already on hand, this makes perfect sense to benefit all of our stakeholders involved.” said Perlowin.

Hemp, Inc.’s five key infrastructure divisions, through which steps have been taken thus far, are:
Industrial Hemp Manufacturing and Processing Infrastructure – Division One
Hemp Oil Extraction Infrastructure – Division Two
Hemp Farming Infrastructure – Division Three
Hemp Education Infrastructure – Division Four
Marketing Infrastructure – Division Five

“We continue to drive home to our shareholders that we have very lucid infrastructure divisions in action. While always adhering to our discipline on transparency with our shareholders and the public, we are resolutely committed to these infrastructure divisions,” said Perlowin. “We believe these first core infrastructure divisions outline Hemp, Inc.’s operations and allow us to allocate time and capital strategically, to drive long-term shareholder value.”

Hemp, Inc. is one of the most respected, recognized leaders in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, and is an ideal partner for companies looking to forge new paths in the industrial hemp-CBD market.  What separates this joint venture from all other CBD producers/growers/extractors is the vast amount of scientific research and education HQ Global Education, Inc. will be doing on the CBD market. They are especially focused on the educational component. According to Perlowin, HQ Global Education, Inc. is in the final stages of building a library of all published scientific research done on CBDs and other cannabinoids from all over the world over the last 50 years.
“This type of thorough research allows them to custom design CBDs with different cannabinoid and terpene profiles based on the enormous amount of scientific research they’ve been compiling. In essence, we are positioning them to become a leading CBD producer,” says Perlowin.

Luis Proetta, CEO of HQGE added, “HQ Global Education is positioned to enter into the CBD arena very quickly. Working together with Hemp, Inc., will allow us to impact the marketplace even sooner than originally anticipated. With the completion of this agreement, we are confident that we have created a winning combination that will enable us to help lead the industry to realize the many medical and economic benefits of cannabinoids.”

According to Perlowin, this venture follows a handful of earlier consultant agreements under which Hemp, Inc.’s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC consulted with public companies looking to expand in the industrial hemp industry.  However, the joint venture announced today, and future joint ventures, is designed to provide companies with a keen focus on the industrial hemp and CBD industry, and to provide a world-class source of supply to meet the growing demand faster than would be possible through either company’s individual efforts.

After the media frenzy of Sessions’ decision to rescind the Cole Memo – a 2013 Department of Justice document – which increased some legal protections for businesses operating in states that allow and regulate cannabis sales, HQ Global Education, Inc. wanted to ensure the industrial hemp industry was a safe bet. And, indeed it is.

“Sessions’ decision to rescind  is an incredible opportunity for the hemp industry, because hemp is the safe bet,” a point Perlowin made in the recent Marijuana Business Daily article, Sessions’ Marijuana Antagonism Spooks Hemp Industry, But Some See Silver Lining.  “Hemp’s legal status has nothing to do with Sessions’ announcement.”  It’s important to note that hemp production “has been enshrined into law by Congress through the 2014 Farm Bill.”  This means “the Department of Justice can’t go after hemp growers or processors abiding by the terms of state hemp rules.”  It’s the “public’s perception” of hemp that was affected, not hemp’s legal status.  “Hemp’s inclusion in the 2014 Farm Bill means its legal status can’t be usurped by an agency memo.”  Hemp entrepreneurs “believe the industry could even capitalize on Sessions’ antagonism to marijuana” because “it underscores hemp’s legal certainty.”

Hemp, Inc. executives have been reinforcing that its company is a “safe bet” for investors.  Hemp is NOT marijuana.  Hemp, Inc.’s huge inventory of approximately 18,000,000 pounds of kenaf, plus approximately 2,000,000 pounds of kenaf to be harvested early this year, has created a well-established supply chain and will not be affected by any potential marijuana pushback by the federal government.

Sessions’ obsession with marijuana may have put a temporary damper on the marijuana/THC marketplace, but hemp, from which you can extract CBDs, is a safe haven from any potential federal pushback.  HQGE corporate executives are being more scientific and specific in their approach and are narrowing in on specific conditions.  “While Hemp, Inc. has done very lucrative contracts in the past (2014) we have now become much more discerning in who we will work with and HQGE meets all our criteria,” says Perlowin.

As Hemp, Inc. provides consulting services in the hemp-CBD market, specifically in the areas of growing high-quality organically-grown CBD rich hemp, harvesting, and extracting, executives say they will also build Veteran Village Kins Communities across the country.  “Our ‘Veteran Village Kins Communities’ is where we will not only grow some of our Hemp, it is a full-blown holistic solution to the multifaceted veteran problems in the USA. Our prototype model is in Arizona about 20 miles north of Kingman and 90 miles from Las Vegas, NV. It’s our way of saying, ‘Thank You’ to our Veterans.”

Hemp, Inc. Announces Strategic Hemp Growing Partner “Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.” Completes Final Site Plan Blueprints
Hemp, Inc. has announced that its strategic growing partner, “Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.,” has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid, renewable, energy system. The remainder of the solar equipment is expected to arrive in the next few days, completing the site’s solar power operation.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager for the “Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.,” said, “We are very happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come together.” In anticipation of planting to begin during the spring, 300 acres have been fenced, 16 overnight trailer park sites are under construction, and six 40×40-ft organic vegetable gardens are ready for seasonal planting, according to Jory. As for the 6 geodesic domes mentioned in an earlier press release, 1 is structurally complete with only the electrical and plumbing to be completed. The rest are on site awaiting final site plan approval. “We are now accepting volunteers who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for our veterans,” said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing CBD-producing “Veteran Village Kins Community” become a reality should contact Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).

One thousand trees, on 36 of the 500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The “Veteran Village Kins Community” site plan also includes a 100,000-square foot GMP compliant, central processing plant, CBD testing laboratory, and various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have psychological, emotional or health issues.
Hemp, Inc. and “Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.” began development on the “Veteran-Village Kins Community in Arizona” approximately 6 years ago. Kins Communities are designed to grow hemp and produce cannabidiol (CBD) products to benefit veterans and to generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village, and the individuals living on the land. Each 2.5-acre lot is designed to be self-sustainable, with 1 acre allocated to grow hemp and other areas for an organic garden, natural bee-hives, a living fence, a pond, a family tree and other elements that make up a “Kins Domain.”

“As Hemp, Inc. positions itself on the forefront of America’s industrial hemp revolution, we see our partnership with ‘Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.’ being paramount in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape the American landscape,” said Perlowin. “As we work toward getting our eco-village up and running in Arizona, we are also aggressively scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It’s a big part of our mission to give back.”

According to Perlowin, seven “master hemp growers” from Oregon, Colorado, California, Kentucky, North Carolina, Nevada and, of course, Arizona have expressed an interest in pursuing a joint venture with Hemp, Inc. to each grow industrial hemp on the 300 fenced acres in Arizona. Perlowin says he’ll call this “The Great United American Hemp Project.”

ABOUT HEMP, INC.
With a deep-rooted social and environmental mission at its core, Hemp, Inc. seeks to build a business constituency for the American small farmer, the American veteran, and other groups experiencing the ever-increasing disparity between tapering income and soaring expenses. As a leader in the industrial hemp industry with ownership of the largest commercial multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in North America, Hemp, Inc. believes there can be tangible benefits reaped from adhering to a corporate social responsibility plan.

WHAT IS HEMP?
Hemp is a durable natural fiber that is grown as a renewable source for raw materials that can be incorporated into thousands of products. It’s one of the oldest domesticated crops known to man. Hemp is used in nutritional food products for humans and animals, such as hemp seeds, hemp hearts and hemp proteins. It is also used in building materials, paper, textiles, cordage, organic body care and other nutraceuticals, just to name a few. It has thousands of other known uses. A hemp crop requires half the water alfalfa uses and can be grown without the heavy use of pesticides. Farmers worldwide grow hemp commercially for fiber, seed, and oil for use in a variety of industrial and consumer products. The United States is the only developed nation that fails to cultivate industrial hemp as an economic crop on a large scale, according to the Congressional Resource Service. However, with rapidly changing laws and more states gravitating towards industrial hemp and passing an industrial hemp bill, that could change quickly. Currently, the majority of hemp sold in the United States is imported from China and Canada, the world’s largest exporters of the industrial hemp crop.

9 GREAT REASONS TO INCLUDE HEMP AS PART OF A HEALTHY DIET (Source)
HOW HEMP CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Fuel – While the industrial, medicinal and commercial properties of hemp have been known to mankind for a very long time, its benefits to the environment have just been realized in recent years. One of the compelling things hemp offers is a ready and affordable supply of fuel. Reserves of petroleum are being depleted at an alarming rate, and the U.S. is depleting our reserves of petroleum and buying it up from other countries. What we need is a fuel source which is reusable and which we can grow right here, making us completely energy independent.
Industries in search of sustainable and eco-friendly processes are realizing hemp as a viable option. Hemp can provide an alternative, more efficient source of energy for the fuel industry. “The woody hemp plant is low in moisture; it dries quickly and is an efficient biomass source of methanol. The waste products produced by using hemp oil are a good source of ethanol. Both methanol and ethanol are produced from hemp through the efficient and economical process of thermo-chemical conversion. One acre of hemp yields 1,000 gallons or 3,785 liters of fuel. Hemp allows a lesser reliance on fossil fuels, which are non-renewable sources of energy and will not be able to meet the increasing global demands for long.”
Petroleum fuel increases carbon monoxide in the atmosphere and contributes heavily to global warming and the greenhouse effect, which could lead to global catastrophe in the next 50 years if these trends continue. Do you want to find out if they are right, or do you want to grow the most cost-effective and environmentally safe fuel source on the planet? Using hemp as an energy and rotation crop would be a great step in the right direction.

HEMP, INC.’S NORTH CAROLINA INDUSTRIAL HEMP HUB
Hemp, Inc.’s 85,000 square foot industrial hemp processing facility, on over 9 acres in Spring Hope, North Carolina, is the only one of this magnitude in North America. It is on its way to becoming a mecca of America’s new clean green agricultural and industrial revolution. Based on a variety of factors, Perlowin believes North Carolina is strategically positioned to be the largest hemp producing state in America by 2018. However, Kentucky and West Virginia will soon join this industrial hemp hub, followed by Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Georgia. Most of these states were historically considered the hemp hub of America and will be again this time next year.

THE HEMP UNIVERSITY
The Hemp University has been established to be the blueprint for farming, navigating and thriving in the industrial hemp revolution. Classes will cover such topics as planting and harvesting schedules, soil temperature, conditions and amendments, proper PH watering, the different life cycles and stages of the hemp plant, cloning, flowering, seed production, greenhouse growing, converting chicken houses to grow rooms, indoor lighting requirements, a big FOCUS ON BRINGING BACK THE SMALL FAMILY FARM TO THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE, organic certification, licensing fees, what’s happening with industrial hemp in different states around America, high CBD strains and different CBD extraction technologies (which will also be installed and showcased at Hemp, Inc.’s processing facility) and marketability of the crop. The seminars started in March of last year. The next seminar will be Saturday, March 10, 2018.
The goal is to educate its attendees on key topics such as transitioning from traditional farming to organic farming, different hemp cultivar strains, how and where to get certified seeds, planting and harvesting industrial hemp, an in-depth history of hemp and its many uses, agronomy, permaculture, ecological advantages and many more courses with an ever-expanding curriculum. Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) has been securing an outstanding lineup of experts from at least a dozen states all over the country, including New York, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon, Kentucky, Illinois and more for the 2018 season.

Hemp retail products from all around the country will be showcased at The Hemp University. Attendees will also be able to connect with potential industrial hemp distributors and product manufacturers. Our new “Hemp Hub” will be a one-stop shop for every aspect of industrial hemp from seed and soil to sale, providing as many resources as possible to our American farmers and landowners to successfully grow hemp and have sales channels for the potential 25,000 products our hemp industry can produce, once again with a big FOCUS ON BRINGING BACK THE SMALL FAMILY FARM TO THE AMERICAN LANDSCAPE.

“The Hemp University vision is simple. We accompany you on developing your strategic objectives all the way to successful and sustainable implementation, regardless of whether you are new to the hemp industry or just want to enhance your existing product range. We support you during set-up at all stages over the life of the company and assist in the handling of important operational processes,” concluded Rainbolt.

For those interested in attending, teaching, touring the hemp field and hemp processing facility or showcasing your company’s hemp products, at The Hemp University, contact Rick Rainbolt via phone or text at (704) 965-8935 for additional information.
