People Keep Stealing Hemp, Don't Get High..

I always thought Hemp was grown "real tight" without much space between the plants - but not up here.

cultivation method depends on the goal---
fiber types - tight
seed, oil - spaced

In the article they have a picture of a bud the guy grew. Doesn't look half bad, especially for Pennsylvania.

Some of the Farmers here in Vermont grew fields of Hemp this year. All Female plants too. I always thought Hemp was grown "real tight" without much space between the plants - but not up here. They grow it spaced out in rows... I used to bring my Mother to a Hydroponic Tomato Farm but it was sold & converted to a Hemp Farm. I've seen hundreds of hemp plants this year in my travels & I can't tell the difference between Hemp & Marijuana. I think it would have to "Lab Tested"...

Funny you mention that because i can see cdb folks cringing because the thc infused market is about to JUMP THE FUK OFF HERE in vermont!

Extracted CBD oil is as expensive as THC oil, and can be sold anywhere for health purposes. It is as good for pain as opioids.

I'm sorry to disagree but in the U.S.A., CBD oil is much much cheaper then THC oil, even more so now because of the flood of hemp on the market, but mainly due to it's more benign legal status (even before it was a legal grey area to my understanding). To say it works for pain is also a bit of a misstatement. It will not work in a direct pain relief way but will only relieve pain caused by the symptoms it treats (like inflammation). THC on the other hand does have direct pain relief.
The rules for hemp (in other words, the new definition of hemp) in the U.S.A. say it has to have below 0.3% THC and can have any amount of CBD. This means the hemp everyone saw and is seeing this year is almost all "hemp" grown for smoking or extracting CBD and terpenoids. In other words they are attempting to grow very low THC marijuana. They are not the close planted scraggly monoecious hemp that most associate with the word hemp. For the purpose of this conversation, hemp ≠ industrial hemp.

Hoo boy. Not too far from me, there's a field of industrial hemp right behind a well-frequented gas station. No fence, but literally every sixty feet, they've posted small white signs around the perimeter that basically say "Please, please don't steal our crop: we promise it won't get you high." I wonder whether the pleas have made any difference?
