But for real it’s ridiculous!
$10,000 annual license to manufacture help products
$5,000 annual license to sell hemp products
$600 product analysis on every batch
Combined THCA and THC measurements eliminating people from accessing products that actually work.
🤔sure seems like they are aiming to eliminate the small businesses!

You guuuuuys!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us clear our inventory and be able to reinvest in the state requirements Texas has implemented for Hemp businesses now.
I will keep y’all in the loop with product updates as they come back in stock.
Hemp360 has been around since 2008! That’s 18yrs of business we aren’t just throwing away. We’ve managed to stay open through many other set backs over the years. This is just another bump in the road we will navigate.
We love you Hempbuds!!
The Texas government has lost its mind over Hemp but my customers are the best! 💚
I awoke to so many online orders this morning!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Companies like HempFlax in Europe produce hemp-based insulation and automotive panels, demonstrating the crop’s versatility in reducing environmental impact.
Hemp is sustainable!!
Beyond food and soil repair, hemp offers a range of ecological, economic, and industrial benefits that support global sustainability.
• Fiber: Hemp fibers are used to produce textiles, paper, bioplastics, and construction materials like hempcrete, which is carbon-negative and energy-efficient. These products reduce reliance on resource-intensive materials like cotton or timber.
• Biofuel: Hemp biomass can be converted into biofuels like ethanol or biodiesel, offering a renewable energy source that reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• Composites: Hemp-based materials are used in automotive parts, packaging, and insulation, providing eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic materials.
In the U.S., states like Kentucky have seen a resurgence of hemp farming, with farmers reporting improved soil health and reduced input costs when rotating hemp with corn or soybeans.
Hemp supports biodiversity!!
And is water efficient!
• Hemp’s minimal pesticide needs and ability to attract pollinators (like bees) support biodiversity.
• Its dense growth can act as a buffer crop, protecting adjacent ecosystems from runoff from conventional agriculture.
• Hemp requires significantly less water than crops like cotton (which uses up to 10,000 liters of water per kilogram of fiber produced) or rice, making it ideal for water-scarce regions.
Hemp can save our soil!!
Hemp is a natural soil remediator and can improve agricultural land quality, making it a valuable tool for sustainable farming.
Phytoremediation:
• Hemp is a bioaccumulator, meaning it can absorb and sequester heavy metals, pesticides, and other toxins from contaminated soils. For example, hemp was used near Chernobyl to remove radioactive isotopes like cesium and strontium from the soil.
• This ability allows hemp to clean polluted agricultural land, making it safe for future food production.
• Soil Structure Improvement:
• Hemp’s deep taproot system (reaching up to 6–8 feet) breaks up compacted soil, improving aeration and water infiltration.
• The roots also prevent erosion by stabilizing soil and contribute organic matter when left to decompose, enhancing soil fertility.
• Nutrient Cycling:
• Hemp returns nutrients to the soil through its fallen leaves and plant residue, which decompose and enrich the soil with organic matter.
• It requires fewer chemical inputs than crops like corn or wheat, reducing nutrient depletion and the risk of soil degradation.
• Crop Rotation Benefits:
• When used in crop rotation, hemp suppresses weeds (due to its dense canopy) and reduces soil-borne pathogens, decreasing the need for chemical herbicides and pesticides.
• Studies suggest hemp can increase yields of subsequent crops (e.g., wheat or corn) by 10–20% due to improved soil health and reduced pest pressure.
• Carbon Sequestration:
• Hemp absorbs significant amounts of CO₂ during its rapid growth, with estimates suggesting it can sequester 8–15 tons of CO₂ per hectare, more than many other crops or even forests in the same timeframe.
• By improving soil health, hemp enhances the soil’s capacity to store carbon, contributing to climate change mitigation.
In regions like sub-Saharan Africa, organizations are exploring hemp as a protein-rich crop to combat malnutrition. For instance, pilot projects in Kenya have integrated hemp seeds into school feeding programs.
Hemp can feed the world!!
Nutritional Value:
• Hemp seeds are a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, making them a valuable plant-based protein source for populations with limited access to meat or other protein-rich foods.
• They are rich in essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6 in an optimal 3:1 ratio), vitamins (e.g., E, B vitamins), and minerals (e.g., magnesium, zinc, iron).
• Hemp seed oil, flour, and protein powder can be incorporated into various foods, such as bread, pasta, milk alternatives, and snacks, providing a scalable food source.
• High Yield and Efficiency:
• Hemp grows quickly (maturing in 90–120 days) and produces high yields per acre compared to other crops. For example, hemp can yield up to 1,500 pounds of seed per acre, depending on conditions, compared to soybeans at around 1,000–2,000 pounds per acre.
• It requires minimal water, pesticides, and fertilizers, making it suitable for cultivation in diverse climates, including arid or marginal lands where traditional crops struggle.
• Versatility in Food Systems:
• Hemp seeds can be processed into shelf-stable products like oil, protein powder, and meal, which can be distributed to food-insecure regions.
• The crop’s adaptability allows it to be grown in small-scale or community-based agricultural systems, supporting local food production and reducing reliance on imported goods.
• Livestock Feed:
• Hemp seed meal, a byproduct of oil extraction, is high in protein and fiber and can be used as feed for livestock, poultry, and aquaculture, reducing pressure on traditional feed crops like corn and soy.
Hemp creates jobs!!
• Hemp cultivation can create jobs in farming, processing, and manufacturing, particularly in rural or economically disadvantaged areas.
• Its low input requirements make it accessible for smallholder farmers, supporting livelihoods in developing regions.
