It's more than just a box membership. We are a movement seeking to restore cannabis therapy which takes a community of like-minded people. We want to ensure we are able to serve every member for their best experience and for the movement.

Hemp, or Cannabis Sativa L., is grown on an industrial basis for many uses from food to cloth, paper, and fuel. Hemp seeds have long been a beneficial supplement for human consumption due to their balanced ratio of unsaturated fatty acids (including omega 3 and omega 6, which are ideal for human metabolism).

Since the 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act, the term "industrial hemp" has become the unsexy practical name for hemp grown by enormous commercial farms. Think of it like you would Budweiser or Natty Light, but in the hemp world.

On the other side of the coin is the small-plot hemp grower. This is someone who grows craft hemp as a point of passion, all while nurturing sustainable hemp plots to cross genetically-diverse strains to create enticing new hemp offerings. This is the craft hemp grower. Think of craft hemp like you would craft beer.

Industrial hemp is more commonly farmed for the fibers and seeds used in fabrics, building materials and the like. Craft hemp is the high-quality hemp used for human consumption.

YES! The 2018 Agricultural Improvement Act ruled that hemp would no longer be a controlled substance. Its growth is still regulated, and farmers must have a permit for it, but this change to the political landscape was a huge step in the right direction. For generations, this miracle plant had been stigmatized despite its rich benefits and versatile uses.

Unfortunately, in many ways, yes. Thanks to out-of-date perspectives and a LOT of misinformation, this war still thunders in the background. Our society continues to reel from 100 years of manipulation and lies aimed at oppressing targeted populations. With the passing of the Agricultural Improvement Act, however, hemp education has been on the rise, including undoing many of the knots of misinformation that used to cast doubts on its utility.

The Craft Hemp Club is as much about education and righting these wrongs as it is about sharing our craft hemp products. What was wrong about the war on weed and hemp is still wrong, and there continues to be a lot of bad information out there.

We built the Craft Hemp Club to give hemp enthusiasts and the hemp-curious a space to get real answers to their questions, and also to encourage people to connect and build more steam as we push forward into a new normal.

Hemp seed is a highly nutritious food providing loads of protein and essential fatty oils. Some populations grow hemp specifically for its seed, which is often eaten in a form similar to oatmeal. The leaves can be consumed, too. Hemp seeds do not contain THC, and therefore do not give you a sensation of “high.”

The oil from hemp seed provides us with omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty oils. It’s also the only seed that contains these oils with almost no saturated fat. By limiting saturated fat, hemp oil also reduces the risk of heart disease.

The stalk of the hemp plant is used to create hemp cloth. The most fibrous part of the stem (the “bast”) can be woven into almost any kind of fabric and is known for being particularly durable. Compared to all other natural fibers available, hemp’s durable nature makes it the most suitable for several specific applications.

Hemp cloth is typically less soft than cotton, but it does not stretch, it’s stronger, and it’s longer-lasting. Hemp is also superior to cotton in an environmental sense because it’s an easier crop to grow and requires zero pesticides.

Hemp is also being used increasingly in construction materials, especially in the manufacturing of press boards and composite boards. This is where hemp stalks are glued together under pressure to produce aboard that is more elastic AND more durable than hardwood. The nature of hemp fibers makes it perfect for this kind of press-board technology.

Another new development in the use of hemp is in making plastics. The other part of the hemp stalk, the “hurd,” can be turned into plastics.

Hemp seed oil is also being used in many varnishes and lubricants.

The Craft Cannabis Club is about you living your most vibrant life. But it’s also about something even bigger than any of us. We support the hemp community and those who believe in the power of this incredible plant. We also cultivate more conversation and connection for those who can help shift the public discourse.

We believe the landscape of hemp and all its applications can be more just, more inclusive, and more ethical.
