Colorado is considering a new bill to change marijuana regulations that would lift some testing requirements for fungi on cannabis products and alter licensing fees.
Trina Johnson, the co-founder of Blue Forest Farms in Longmont, is passionate about the hemp plant. Materials made from the fibrous plant are fire- and mold-resistant and stronger than steel. It has more protein per gram than meat and contains an SPF of 15. It can be used to make clothing, build houses, help people sleep and relieve pain.
“It can save the world,” says Johnson, whose company recently launched a line of hemp CBD-infused health and beauty products using CBD derived from the genetics it’s developed at its 150-acre farm. “Once you’re in hemp, you just drink the Kool-Aid. Our mission is to have a CBD product in every hand,” she adds.
