Hemp for the Holidays
With the holidays quickly approaching, I’m sure there are still those who have gifts to buy. Giving the gift of hemp this holiday season is sure to excite any Cannabis lover and any environmentally or health conscious person! If you’re already a hemp supporter like me, asking for gifts made from hemp could promote conversations for those that may not be aware of the many items made from the plant! If you’re already finished with your holiday shopping and would still like to include hemp for the season, you could make a food dish that introduces hemp for your next holiday get together! With the hemp industry growing rapidly, there are more and more ways to get creative and support this industry all over the world!
Asking for, or giving the gift of a hemp-made products is an excellent way to spread awareness and support this amazing plant. The options are expanding rapidly as hemp proves to be a more sustainable and less toxic option for making fabrics and clothing, paper, plastics, body care products and even home construction materials! Because products made from hemp do not contain enough THC to have any sort of psychoactive effect, products such as CBD oils derived from hemp are legal to buy and ship to all 50 states. CBD oil supplements are benefiting thousands of people and even improving their pet’s health and wellness, but are still unknown or new to many who could benefit from these products, which is why I think it makes a perfect gift for anyone this holiday season!

It can also be a great way to showcase how versatile this miraculous plant can taste and how it can be incorporated into daily meals.

Whichever way you decide to include hemp this season, from hemp flour cookies to hemp skincare or clothing gifts, you’re ultimately supporting a game changing industry that is altering the world as we know it.
