The DPHHS announced its notice of intent to begin

The DPHHS announced its notice of intent to begin enforcing Emergency Rules that temporarily restrict the sale of flavored e-cigarette products in Montana. DPHHS is proceeding with the enforcement of the rules, citing that the Temporary Restraining Order preventing enforcement expired by operation of law in October.
•
On October 8, 2019, the Montana Department of Public Health and Human
Services issued Emergency Rules to temporarily restrict the sale of flavored e-cigarette products in Montana. On October 18, 2019, the Court issued a Temporary Restraining Order and Order to Show Cause which temporarily suspended enforcement of the emergency rules. The Court set a hearing on Petitioners' Application for a Preliminary Injunction. The hearing was held on October 30 and November 1, 2019.
•
Citing Mont. Code Ann. § 27-19-316(4), the department claimed that the October 18 Temporary Restraining Order expired after ten days. Since the Emergency Rules were first announced, DPHHS has confirmed five additional cases of E-cigarette or Vaping Product Use Associated Lung Injury (EVALI) in Montana. Though the State has thus far declined to enforce the Emergency Rules pending resolution by the Court, it reasons that imminent threats to public health and safety that precipitated the rules are ongoing and demand a public health response.

With the huge volatility in the hemp market, many

With the huge volatility in the hemp market, many farmers are being left out to dry. A mixture of plummeting hemp prices and a lack of possessors has led to a very unstable market where many are losing thousands. A combination of sketchy buyers and unfulfilled deals has lead many hemp growers and brokers to become very wary of who buys their flower. Unpaid deals and hostile LEO sniping transcontinental shipments of hemp has caused some farmers to declare bankruptcy. So what can we do to help?

With the new year right around the corner, and unt $With the new year right around the corner, and untethering coming soon, many providers are quickly ramping up their capabilities. Having the right equipment for the right job is is incredibly important, and whether you are building out your grow or extraction facilities, Planet-3 can help identify the equipment you need and can source and even help install any specialized equipment needed. • Whether you are looking to revamp your grow and are looking for a new plant watering system or if you are building your own extraction facility and need help with ordering and finding the right fractional or simple distillation system. New pieces of technology like the fantastic Blumat system that can constantly provide any non-hydroponically fed plants with exactly the amount of water they need without manually watering each plant. Or if you are buying a new short path system, many forget that the turn-key systems offered off the shelf by many manufacturers are actually not as effective or as modular as building a system that can grow as your business grows. These turn-key systems will actually cost you more money in the long run as compared to ordering the individual parts and designing the system you actually need. • So don't forget this winter, if you need assistance with finding, sourcing, or installing your new equipment, let Planet-3 help you out and make sure you have what you need. - - - - #distillation #distillationprocess #montanacannabis #mtcannabis #montanammj #montanamedicalmarijuana #mtmmj #simpledistillation #fractionaldistillation #blumat #blumatwateringsystems #hydroponics #cannabisequipment #planet3$

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, is a lit

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, or CHS, is a little known affliction that affects a small group of cannabis consumers. CHS presents as a loss in temperature regulation over one's body and intense vomiting. This syndrome has been linked to high amounts of cannabinoids in the bloodstream interacting with the TRPV1 receptor, also known as the capsaicin receptor. An article by Leafly explored the connection between neem oil, one of the most prolific pesticides in the cannabis industry and its link to the little-understood disease.
•
Do you think CHS is a result of allergic reactions to the neem oil, or just that some people can not process very high amounts of cannabinoids efficiently in their body?

Although widespread bans have swept through the US

Although widespread bans have swept through the US, there are still real studies that show the toxicology of some of the formulations in the e-cigarette market are safer than their cigarette counterparts. These studies are of specific chemicals used in vaping and their constituent chemicals used in the formulation of the cartridges. One of the chemicals used was Propylene Glycol and was shown to have “very little to no toxicity” and also showed a small to moderate risk of allergic reactions. Also, many legally produced vaporizer Recreational and medical industries have been providing safe and regulated vaporizer cartridges from cannabis using the proper solvent and solventless methods to extract and concentrate the cannabinoids and natural VOC from the flower. Studies also found that “Vaporization of cannabis is a safe and effective mode of delivery of THC.” Yet illegally or unscrupulous produced cartridges are killing children and adults at an alarming rate, it is why it is so important to crack down on the illegal and hostile actors and at the same time bolster the legal and regulated market. There are real health benefits over smoking, but the thing that will kill this industry is lack of regulation and uninformed legislation in safe industry standards.

Yesterday, the White House approved the USDA Feder

Yesterday, the White House approved the USDA Federal Hemp Production Rules; this 161-page document outlines all of the different minutiae pertaining to hemp (Cannabis Sativa L.) that were lacking in the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bill. This new piece of legislation, to take effect in 2020, re-outlines a bunch of old requirements like the 0.3% limit on THC and also defines new restrictions and clarifies old ones.
•
One of the first big changes this new piece of legislation will enact is it will make any grower that grows a crop above the 0.3% THC limit required to dispose of the entire crop. Under the law it says this disposal is supposed to be handled by local, state, or tribal LEO, but how are local and state law enforcement agencies supposed to destroy potentially 100’s of acres of “Hot Hemp”? This law also makes the farmers criminals; if their hemp tests above 0.5% THC by dry weight. With the uncertainty of growing season and depending on the cultivar of hemp being grown, the amount of cannabinoids produced can change drastically. When a grower has a crop that tests above the 0.5% THC, it is many times not the fault of the grower, but the fault of the cultivar not having the same phenotypic expression that it was sold as. The new law also does not put any of the onus on the seed company to test the phenotypes of the strains they sell and see how each strain presents in different locations. This new law is going to make it very difficult and even legally dangerous to grow all but the lowest cannabinoid-producing strains of hemp. We should not be criminalizing our hemp growers for having a hot harvest. Is the disposal of an entire crop not enough for the feds?
