Envisioning A Hemp Based Future - 2024 and Beyond
In this new era of fear and divisiveness, CHEA members are staying focused on a positive and constructive course of action that everyone can agree upon and work together to achieve...building the industrial hemp industry. This low THC variety of Cannabis sativa may be the one thing with the power to actually unite us enough to make real, positive change in the world.
We like to say that hemp can't make you high, but it can make just about everything else. From food, clothing, medicines, to fuel, plastics and building materials, hemp is the world's most useful plant. It also sequesters carbon from the air and replenishes the soil and water. Hands down, The Most Sustainable Raw Material on the planet. So, let's get united (on this one important issue) and make it our mission to build a brighter future utilizing hemp!

Field Notes
In our eight years of working with the industrial hemp plant, we've learned a lot. Bees, for instance, love the pollen from male plants. Now an Oxford University study has officially confirmed what we've known for years. Birds also love the seeds. It can grow in poor to medium soil. Seeds require moist conditions to germinate, but once established water requirements are medium to low. Some varieties are thin and spindly while others are thick and bushy. Lot's of diversity in the Cannabis family. Also, unfortunately, some diseases and pests that hemp is not yet immune to. Cannabis Disease Syndrome, CDS, is a mysterious multi-symptom vascular disease spreading around the globe. For any new farmer, our best advise is to start small. Get acquainted first.

Creating the New Hemp Based Economy.
Developing Hemp Processing, Manufacturing, Distribution and Sales Systems in the U.S.A.
While it seems we've taken a deep dive down the rat hole and our democracy hangs in the balance, please remember that we're also making great strides forward, even in the midst of these historic times. Women's rights, gay rights, rights for people of color, and the right to grow and build a sustainable future with industrial hemp, are all movements that are making history and taking us to greater heights. While the political dramas play out, people everywhere are waking up and saying, "time for something different". Time for an economy based on healthy raw materials like hemp that can reduce and eventually replace our consumption of trees, fossil fuels, harmful chemicals,etc, while at the same time helping our environment by restoring Bee populations, depleted soils and sequestering carbon from the air. The time is now for a peaceful hemp revolution! We've been working hard to envision how that can happen.
Going Mobile is a concept inspired by our passion to have fun while making both a living and great change. Our Viahemp Vans will be fully outfitted to be multi-purpose Mobile Work and Short Term Living Spaces that can transform any location into a unique party experience. Great for almost any event. We provide an array of unique hemp products including our delicious Choco Hemp Cake and Vanilla Hemp Ice Cream, CBD Coffees and Teas, CBD Energy Drinks, CBD Tinctures and Salves, even a masseuse. Add your music play list and our lighting displays for a truly special experience that is not just fun, but is actively helping to build a healthier future for everyone. "Sustainability never felt or tasted this good", is a motto we'd love to see spread far and wide. We'll also create additional revenue streams utilizing our rigs as part of an ever expanding country wide hemp distribution system. We hope to have our first, fully equipped van and pop-up trailer purchased and designed by 2023.
Start Your Own State CHEA Chapter
We've now developed the marketing materials, products and know how to help you start your own Chapter of CHEA in whatever state you're from. No matter what level of involvement - from volunteer to entrepreneur - we are here to help you succeed in building the industry in your area. Contact us for details.
Where do we go from here? Like most hemp organizations and companies in our new era, just staying afloat amidst such uncertainty has gone from tough to near impossible pretty quick. The CBD craze has waned and money is suddenly tight for millions of Americans so sales are slow to none for many small CBD businesses. What's urgently needed is more affordable CBD oil processing for farmers and capital investment for the equipment to utilize other parts of the plant. We must build the infrastructure and machines that can hull the seeds and turn the stalk of the plant into thousands of everyday necessities.
Because of hemp's anti-fungal, antibacterial, and health promoting qualities hemp should be utilized to make our masks, hospital scrubs, linens, towels, clothing, etc. Enviro Textiles in Glenwood Springs, Colorado is leading the way in the hemp fabric arena. Visit their website at: www.envirotextiles.com. In the Medicinal Sector, while we haven't heard much from the ongoing studies at Tel Aviv University, Letheridge Univ.in Canada, or Univ.of Nebraska, exciting news from Oregon State University has just been published in the Journal of Natural Products (published Jan.2022) that identifies CBDa and CBGa as having the ability to prevent the covid19 virus from entering human cells. Other studies also confirm that cannabinoids and even terpenes are Cytokine inhibitors that will reduce inflammation and even help prevent the onset of Covid-19. Stay tuned for updates.

In addition to Vote Hemp, The National Hemp Association, NHA, with roots in Boulder, is another great resource for up-to-date hemp information.
