You make some valid points, thanks for your feedback. Two things come to mind on this for me. First, you'll see on the lab analysis that there is an amazing amount of CBDA on the lab results, which goes back to my original point of why all the emphasis on 1 hemp cannabinoid (CBD) when hemp has CBDA and many others. Could it be that CBDA for example may be a more beneficial cannabinoid? With further investigation, possibly this could be determined. But again, CBD is the only point of reference being provided to people re:hemp so that seems to be a very narrow focus. Also, if you look at the hemp sourced CBD sold all I have seen is colorless, odorless etc but hemp of course is green...so that is how it is ending up by the time it is sold to the public, having been transformed from its natural state and decarboxylated it into something different. So, does that necessarily give you a product that is better for you? I'd be interested in hearing what people think on that, and I am of course not qualified to give a definitive answer. One could say it's more 'potent' as a result but couldn't you also say it is a much less 'natural' product at that point? It would seem producing CBD in the way I described or doing so in the commercially common way both have different advantages and drawbacks, and it would be interesting to see which way folks would prefer if given the chance to have it one way or the other. Above all I think it is exciting for more thought to be given to cannabinoids other than CBD with regard to hemp, since that area seems ripe for further investigation. Looking forward to hearing more comments!

Here is a demonstration of pressing of hemp flower material, mixed with coconut as a carrier oil so that it presses easily: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbwNZjScG3M One of our customers using this equipment submitted the extracted liquid for analysis which you can the report of on the attached file. All done with 0 use of solvents on a cold press oil press from Oil Press Company in Wisconsin, for which I sell equipment.

In talking about Hemp, I think all would agree that there are many things still unknown about it as it represents a learning curve for all of us. And, in this regard, one of those things almost no one yet knows is that it is absolutely not necessary to use solvents to cold press hemp in order to obtain various cannabinoids. That is what I would be glad to discuss that with you via email...it just seems more appropriate to limit posts here to shorter comments and use email for longer discussions, that's all.

Sure, I will glad to provide info on that; my email is henlone@yahoo.com.
