I’m excited to announce that I’ll be giving a talk about CBD’s benefits on Thursday, August 15th at the new American Shaman store in Oakville (St. Louis). American Shaman is giving a free copy of my book AMERICAN HEMP to anyone who makes a store purchase of $60 or more.

I’ve been asked to discuss two chapters from my book — Chapter 2: History of Hemp & Chapter 7: Hemp-CBD: A Super Medication — and I’m looking forward to answering any questions about hemp and/or CBD that people might have.

In other news, the Midwest Book Review featured American Hemp in an online magazine:

Critique: “American Hemp: How Growing Our Newest Cash Crop Can Improve Our Health, Clean Our Environment, and Slow Climate Change” extols the virtue of hemp - a plant that, while closely related to marijuana, cannot be used as an intoxicating drug. Instead, industrial hemp has a wealth of other valuable and productive uses, which have long been underutilized. Chapters discuss how hemp can improve industries from farming to energy to 3D printing. A timely and informative contribution to our on-going national dialogue, “American Hemp: How Growing Our Newest Cash Crop Can Improve Our Health, Clean Our Environment, and Slow Climate Change” is an exceptionally well written, organized and presented study that is unreservedly recommended for community, academic, and governmental library collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of social activists, students, academia, governmental policy makers, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject that “American Hemp” is also available in a digital book format (Kindle, $12.99).
