“For Native American Tribes, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018—informally known as the 2018 farm bill, now signed into law—opens a promising new door to economic opportunity: hemp. Specifically, the new law legalizes the production of industrial hemp, with certain controls, and gives tribes equal footing with states in seeking regulatory approval for hemp production.
For Native American Tribes and tribal producers, industrial hemp production marks a potential landmark economic opportunity. Historically, the United States has imported hemp because Cannabis, including industrial hemp, was classified as a controlled substance and not grown as a domestic crop. The 2018 Agriculture Improvement Act helped bring production back to the United States, promising significant economic value for Native Americans.
Casinos on Native American land have poured billions into tribal economies since the late 1980s, lifting many people from poverty. Now, some hope, cultivating industrial hemp could do the same. ‘The industrial hemp project could probably overtake Indian gaming, not only in terms of employment but also in terms of revenue to the Navajo,’ said Al Henderson, a senior Navajo economic adviser, noting that the 360,000-member tribe had an unemployment rate of 40-50 percent.
Evo Hemp hopes to bring economic prosperity to other Tribes as well. Our company’s ultimate mission is to revitalize indigenous economies through industrial hemp.”
3 Ingredient Whipped CBD Ganache:
I N G R E D I E N T S :
-
12 oz. vegan, semi-sweet or dark chocolate chunks

(2) 13.5 oz. cans of coconut cream (chilled in the fridge overnight to solidify)

* (You can use code bee.the.love for 20% off!)
M E T H O D :
-
Open the cans if coconut cream and scoop out only the solidified contents. In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, heat the cream until it just begins to bubbles around the edges and steam rises from the surface.
-
Next, in a large mixing bowl, add the chocolate then stream pour the heated cream on top. Allow to sit for 6 minutes to warm up the chocolate bits.
-
Afterwards, add the CBD oil (optional: add 1/2 tsp of sea salt and vanilla extract) and whisk the contents until all ingredients are melted, consistent, and silky smooth (about 3 minutes or so).
-
Then, transfer the bowl of ganache into the fridge to chill for at least 3 hours or until settled.
-
When ready, use an electric hand mixer to whip the contents until lighter in color and airy in texture.
-
Finally, transfer into a piping bag to frost with or enjoy on the spot!
