Las Vegas, NV, March 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NEWMEDIAWIRE — Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers, including the largest multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today that it is supportive of the research around the antiviral capabilities of cannabis compounds. More information can be found in this 420 Intel article: “Cannabis And Hand-Washing: Can Weed Eliminate Bacteria?”.
Please see the 420 Intel article below:
“Given the pandemic America now faces, could CBD or cannabis offer help in alleviating future bacterial outbreaks?
Scientists have long thought that cannabis had remarkable powers. Recently, it’s come to light that cannabis is a far more capable cleaner of bacteria than was first realized.
A January 2020 study published in the Cureus Journal of Medical Science found that cannabis cleaned plaque better than over-the-counter hygiene products. (We covered the story here.)
The study found:
“Cannabinoids have the potential to be used as an effective antibacterial agent against dental plaque-associated bacteria. Moreover, it provides a safer alternative for synthetic antibiotics to reduce the development of drug resistance.”
This isn’t the first time that research has notated that cannabis has antiseptic properties. The University of Queensland’s Institute for Molecular Bioscience’s Centre for Superbug Solutions in Australia noted that cannabis is not only an anti-inflammatory, but they believe it has potential to be an antibiotic.
Their research team recently unveiled research showcased by Dr. Mark Blaskovich that illuminates the potential around cannabis therapy. Focusing on skin conditions, the team involved found that cannabidiol was, “remarkably effective at killing a wide range of Gram-positive bacteria, including bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotics, and did not lose effectiveness after extended treatment.”
Brandon Novy, a microbiology researcher at Reed College in Portland, believes the findings warrant more attention. He’s also presented a CBD-focused study that found the compound had potential to fight “gram-negative infections.”
Given the pandemic America now faces, could CBD or cannabis offer help in alleviating future bacterial outbreaks, especially given that a recent report by the World Health Organization (WHO) believes antibiotic resistant bacteria may claim over 50 million lives by 2050?
Companies have added hemp and CBD to body products for years. With bans being slowly lifted on cannabis as well, companies are looking into research around effective use of THC and CBD in other hygiene products.
While cannabis has been shown to help strengthen the immune system and allow for better sleep, so far it doesn’t appear cannabis or CBD can help against viruses like COVID-19 — at least topically. But perhaps, given the incredible push to wash hands, that cannabis and CBD can both help with skin health and moisturization in these difficult times. The answer appears to be a resounding yes.
Known for helping with dermatitis and decreasing inflammation, hemp can offer relief from water-chapped hands. Maybe its integration into hand-washing products isn’t too far off after all?”

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HEMP AND MARIJUANA
Hemp is completely different from marijuana in its function, cultivation and application. In cultivating marijuana, the plants are spaced far apart, and the male plants are destroyed to assure that they cannot seed the female plants, which would result in undesirable, less potent and less marketable, seeded marijuana buds. Hemp, on the other hand, is planted close together and commonly hermaphrodites, which creates an abundance of seeds, the main component of Hemp foods and supplements. The Hemp stalks are processed and used for fiber, composite, and other hemp based end products.
Hemp is used in variety of other applications that marijuana couldn’t possibly be used in. These include healthy dietary supplements, skin products, clothing, and accessories. Overall, hemp is known to have over 25,000 possible applications. Hemp products such as Hemp Milk, Hemp Cereal, and Hemp Oil are used by consumers every day.

HOW HEMP CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Fiber – Hemp fiber can be used to make fabrics and textiles, rope and paper. The word ‘canvas’ actually derives from the word cannabis.
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 fuel. With reserves of petroleum being depleted, it would be nice if we could have a fuel source which was reusable and which we could grow right here, making us completely energy independent.
Food – Hemp seeds are very nutritious and were first thought to be eaten by the Ancient Chinese and Indians. Hemp seeds have a nutty taste and can be eaten raw, ground up, sprouted, or made into dried sprout powder. Hemp seeds also contain a very beneficial oil that is high in unsaturated fatty acids, including an optimal 1:4 ratio of omega-3 to 6.
Building Material – Hemp can be made into a variety of building materials. These include concrete-like blocks called ‘hempcrete’, biodegradable plastics, and wood replacements. These materials have been used in the manufacture of many things, including electronics, cars and houses. In fact, the first American home made of hemp-based materials was completed in August 2010 in Asheville, North Carolina.
Biofuel – Remarkably, the oil from hemp seeds and stalks can also be made into biofuels such as Biodiesel — sometimes known as ‘hempoline’. While this biofuel can be used to power engines, it does take quite a lot of raw material to produce a substantial amount.
