THE SECRET HISTORY OF HEMP

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE WAS DRAFTED ON HEMP PAPER?


E. Gordon
08/23/21



You may have heard of hemp — a variety of cannabis that is distinct from
marijuana. While it does produce THC, unlike marijuana, hemp doesn't produce
enough THC to actually get you high. But it does do a whole lot more.

Hemp is the main source for CBD, a product you may have heard of thanks to its
usage in everything from sleep medication to lip balms to dog treats and beyond.
For example, brands like High Falls Hemp produce CBD skincare, pet treats,
gummies, tinctures, and much more.







Like High Falls Hemp's products, which are all grown in the Hudson Valley, Hemp
has a long, long history of being grown in the United States, and it has a much,
much longer history around the world.

Hemp may actually be one of the oldest plants cultivated by humans, and it may
have first been cultivated as early as 50,000 years ago.







Archaeologically, hemp dates back to the Neolithic Age in China, with hemp
imprints found on pottery dating back to the 5th millennium BCE. Ancient hemp
was used to make clothes and early forms of paper.

Hemp seeds and woven fibers have also been found on Japanese artifacts dating
back to 10,000 BCE, and some ancient Japanese cave paintings appear to show
cannabis plants, identifiable by their distinct leaves. Hemp was also used
across Asia as a form of medicine, as nutritious food, and as a tool for making
clothes, ropes, and other important items.

Cannabis was praised in ancient Japan for the strength of its fibers and the
tallness of the plant itself, and it also has spiritual significance in ancient
Shintoism, the indigenous religion of the nation. Cannabis was revered for its
cleansing abilities and was also used to ward off evil spirits.


Hemp and cannabis were also praised in Taoism, with their dioecious nature —
meaning that the plants can be separated into male and female parts —
complementing the Taoist philosophy of Yin and Yang.

Between 2,000 and 800 BCE, hemp was praised in India as one of the nation's five
sacred plants, and was referenced as "sacred grass" in the Hindu text
"Atharvaveda." It also appears in ancient Egyptian records, where it was
apparently used as an eyewash.

According to Greek historian Herodotus, ancient Scythians used to smoke hemp
vapors for their own pleasure and entertainment. Hemp was also found at many an
Ancient Greek burial site, indicating that ancient Greeks believed it could help
with the transition to the afterlife. Villagers in ancient Mesopotamia used hemp
in their pottery, and hemp seeds and oil were popular in foods found around the
ancient world. Eventually, hemp spread around the world and became integral to a
variety of industrial projects.

Hemp fiber was used on most of the ships used by the British to colonize the
world, and it was an integral part of British life; in the 1600s, all English
colonists were mandated by the government to grow an acre of hemp on their
properties.

The history of hemp in the United States dates back to the 17th century, when
George Washington cultivated hemp at his Mount Vernon estate and praised it as a
cash crop with a greater potential for profit-making than tobacco. (Fun fact:
The Declaration of Independence was drafted on hemp paper).

So what happened? How did hemp go from a central facet of life since ancient
times to something met with a giggle or a stern glare? In 1937, the Marijuana
Tax Act regulated hemp in the United States, largely due to confusion about its
distinction from marijuana. A year later, Popular Mechanics declared hemp the
next billion-dollar crop, and in 1942, the US Department of Agriculture launched
a Hemp for Victory campaign encouraging farmers to grow hemp to support the war
effort.


However, 1970's Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act declared a
zero tolerance policy on any type of THC, making hemp essentially illegal. The
plant is still trying to reclaim its image, with many still associating the
plant with marijuana's highs while ignoring its ancient history, durability, and
health benefits. But as the CBD business booms, its future is immensely
promising.

HOW TO KEEP YOUR SKIN HEALTHY DURING THIS HEATWAVE



Mackenzie Cummings-Grady
31 August

Let's get one thing straight: August is always unbearably hot.

August is a bittersweet month, as it represents the end of summer, yet it's
always one of the hottest months of the year. It's especially true this year, as
record-breaking heat waves sweep throughout most of the country, thanks to the
doings of climate change.







With that in mind, the muggy, sweaty month of August can do some real damage to
your skin. Your pores will no doubt get greasier, and your acne may flair up.
All of it is completely normal, but why should you have to suffer through your
last month of summer? Luckily, there is one skincare brand that you can always
rely on to keep your skin in check. One skincare brand is always filled with
natural, organic ingredients that you can feel good about: Burt's Bees.

"Burt's Bees? Aren't those the guys that make that chapstick?" It's true that
the company's Original Beeswax Lip Balm is one of their most legendary products,
curing chapped lips everywhere since 1991 with its antioxidant Vitamin E
moisturizer, and Peppermint finish.







But upon closer inspection, you'll see these guys do a lot more than just lip
balm. Born in the early 1980s, creators Burt Shavitz and Roxanne Quimby created
Burt's Bees in the backwoods of Maine. Burt settled into his life as "bee man"
and combined with Roxanne's groundbreaking recipes created a bounty of goods,
from candles to lip balms. Now, the company has exploded to include face wash,
makeup, shampoo and conditioner and so much more!

Burts Bees

But let's get back to the task at hand. For those with serious acne flair-ups
this time of the month, you should go ahead and cop yourself the Sensitive
Facial Cleanser. Meant for sensitive skin, the Burt's Bees formula relies on
Cotton Extract and throws in a dose of soothing Aloe for the gentle treatment
your face desires.

Burt's Bee's also has a wide range of moisturizers and creams, such as their
Truly Glowing Gel Cream, which is made from an intentional combination of
proteins, humectants, and oils, and serves as the perfect finishing touch after
a good washing. Maybe your bad skin is caused by excessive makeup, or from a
poorly designed makeup remover. In which case, Burt's Bee's wide range of
towelettes are perfect for you. They have towelettes meant for hydrating,
towelettes meant for sensitive skin, and even towelettes made from White Tea for
those looking for an extra splash of moisture.


Are you not sure which skincare product is best for you? No worries! Just head
over to Burt's Bees website, and you can shop for products "by concern." Are you
suffering from fine lines and wrinkles? Burt's Bee's has a perfect routine for
that. Or maybe you have an uneven skin tone, or maybe just plain dry skin. They
even have a perfect list of recommendations for those with small blemishes.

Look, the point is that just because summer is ending that doesn't mean you need
to end it with bad skin. As these heat waves continue, head into the fall
confident and sexy, and take control of your bad skin. Burt's Bees' organic
ingredients really work, and they're so wholesomely made that you can feel good
about everything you buy.

OVERWHELMED BY THE NUMBER OF CBD BRANDS? LET US HELP



Mackenzie Cummings-Grady
31 August

THERE IS NO DENYING IT: CBD IS HOTTER THAN EVER.

There is no denying it: CBD is hotter than ever.

There are so many things that CBD products can help with. Aside from being a
reliable sleep aid, CBD can provide relief for anxiety, depression, and
post-traumatic stress disorder. In "nonpsychoactive" blends, CBD oil is
THC-free, and it won't get you high, or give you the munchies, but you'll be
able to get all the health benefits that come from marijuana.







But with an endless array of CBD brands out there, how can you be sure you're
getting the highest quality? A lot of the lower-budget CBD brands cut their CBD
with olive oil or other additives, diluting their effects. You don't want that!
So that's why at FindKarma we recommend CBD for Life.

CBD For Life should be considered merely because it is one of the OG CBD-infused
wellness brands that kickstarted the whole movement. Launched five years ago,
CBD For Life and its founder, Beth, knew early on about the health benefits that
come from using CBD oil. So they set out on a mission: to craft the highest
quality CBD products to help users look, feel, and act like their best selves,
mixing soothing essential oils with plant-based actives to help soothe and
comfort you.







So what is at your disposal? CBD For Life offers rub-on ointments, sprays, hand
sanitizers, and even bath bombs. That's right, bath bombs. They come in
Lemongrass Kiwi, Eucalyptus and Peppermint, even Fresh Bamboo. Or, you could
even get a combo pack and try them all out.

They also offer a wide array of beauty products. For example, the Eye Serum is
lightweight and fast-absorbing, blending phytonutrient-rich CBD with plant
extracts to help your skin smooth, soften and brighten. Or maybe you want some
foot cream, in which case why not get foot cream infused with CBD? Or pick up a
tube of their hand and body lotion to keep your skin moisturized and healthy.

CBD For Life

But how do we know that all of these CBD products are even safe, let alone work?

It's true that the performance of each of these magnificent products relies
strictly on the purity and potency of CBD For Life's CBD. But fret not — The
company performs extensive testing at every stage of the development of a
product. CBD For Life's independent ISO/IEC accredited third-party lab tests for
potency, microbial, heavy metals, and pesticides to make sure that the CBD going
into their goods is of the highest and purest quality.

The final tests results performed on your goods can also be accessed. All you
need to do is locate the batch number that's stamped at the bottom of CBD For
Life's jars, or on the crimps of their tubs, and match them with the
corresponding number located on their website.

Keeping safety in mind? Where does the company's CBD even come from? Pulled from
hemp grown on a USDA-certified farm in Colorado that relies on sustainable
farming practices. CBD For Life has a longstanding relationship with that farm,
and the company has maintained a healthy and fulfilling relationship with them
since their early days.

So why are you waiting any longer to hop on the CBD bandwagon? There are so many
reasons why you should find a CBD brand that's right for you. As one of the
longstanding pioneers in the industry, CBD For Life remains a go-to for
countless CBD users, and is responsible for kickstarting a movement that has
only grown in size and in popularity.
