Shareholders Can BUY NOW
Las Vegas, NV - 
(NewMediaWire) - July 14, 2021 - Hemp,
Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP), an established leader in the industrial
hemp industry, announces its newly restructured King of Hemp® website.
The revamped site, which was recently launched, will
advance the distribution of high-quality hemp products manufactured under the
company’s King of Hemp® brand.
The King of Hemp® products
include a wide variety of smokeables and dabbables, all made with premium
organic hemp. CBD gummies and newly formulated CBD tinctures will soon be
available. You will also be able to purchase the next series of King of Hemp
prerolls featuring the Cannabis Smugglers of yesteryear. These products will be
announced in upcoming press releases.
Hemp, Inc. investors can further support
the company’s mission by
making the King of Hemp® product purchases—a win/win scenario, because it
generates revenue for the company and the King of Hemp® offers
only the highest quality CBD
and CBG products.
Investors can support their
investment in Hemp, Inc. by purchasing King of Hemp® CBD products. Jim Hancock,
newly announced President of Hemp, Inc., stated, "This now provides an
opportunity for tens of thousands of Hemp Inc.’s shareholders and potential
shareholders to purchase the company’s products online and see for themselves
the results of their investment. We also expect to generate significant
revenues from our website and are planning massive marketing campaigns to lock
this in."
Full product information and laboratory
analysis for every King of Hemp® product is accessible online.
Visitors to the King of Hemp® website can also discover more about the legendary “King of Hemp” himself, Bruce
Perlowin. Perlowin who co-founded, along with Don Steinberg, the first
publicly-traded company in the marijuana industry, Medical Marijuana Inc. Mr.
Perlowin then founded the first publicly traded—Hemp,
Inc. in 2008. Bruce Perlowin recently resigned as CEO of Hemp,
Inc after 13 years and is now Hemp, Inc’s Chief Visionary Consultant. Perlowin
stated, "Now that the company has changed focus from building
infrastructure to sales and marketing, I find it very boring to run day to day
operations, where all you do is basically become a shipping company by shipping
out products every day plus there is a lot of people out there that can do this
job better than I can, since I find it so boring. As the Chief Visionary
Officer, I can focus on the future of the company by launching new innovative
Hemp products like hempwood, hempcrete, and more than twenty-five thousand
products that can be made from hemp. I will also be focusing on working with
other companies in our industry to collectively pull our resources together and
complete the vision of making the United Stated the largest Hemp exporter of
the world instead of the largest importer. I am available to be a consultant
for other companies as well since very few people out there have the experience
and knowledge I gained over the last 13 years as Hemp, Inc’s CEO."

Inc. began shipping of its King of Hemp® products to stores

WHAT
IS HEMP, INC.?
What is Hemp, Inc.? With a deep-rooted social and
environmental mission at its core, Hemp,
Inc. seeks to build a business constituency for the American
small hemp farmer, the American veteran, and other groups
experiencing the ever-increasing disparity between tapering income and soaring
expenses. The Company is on a mission to be a powerful engine for social change
and economic revival, worldwide, by providing hemp products that are
eco-friendly, sustainable and healthy. Hemp, Inc. executives believe there can
be tangible benefits reaped from adhering to a corporate social responsibility
plan.
HEMP,
INC.’S TEN DIVISIONS
It has been Hemp, Inc.’s intent
to continually invest in building its hemp infrastructure, especially since
none existed previously. In fact, the Company has instinctively been following
the same path as Amazon… reinvesting profits and operating capital back into
building the infrastructure. This is a business strategy that has been proven
and works well.
All the years leading up to this
point were building and finishing the largest hemp infrastructure in America
and now the Company is focusing 90% of its efforts on marketing and generating
revenues. The result, so far, has been almost crossing the million-dollar mark
in revenue in just 10 weeks.
Hemp, Inc.’s ten divisions are as
follows:
Division One – The
Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
Division Two – The Hemp
Farming Infrastructure
Division Three – The Hemp
Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending Infrastructure
Division Four – The Hemp
Educational Infrastructure
Division Five – The Hemp
Marketing Infrastructure
Division Six – Accessories,
Products and Services
Division Seven – Research
and Development
Division Eight – Industrial
Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures
Division Nine – Industrial
Hemp Consulting
Division Ten – Educational
Entertainment
Division One – The Industrial Hemp Infrastructure
The Industrial Hemp
Infrastructure (Division One) currently
consists of two hemp processing facilities across the country, with two more
under development, which will include an in-house third-party testing
laboratory. The largest of the two is its multi-purpose industrial
hemp processing facility and milling operation in Spring Hope,
North Carolina. It’s the largest “industrial hemp processing center” in the
western hemisphere and has grown to become one of the pre-eminent centers of
the industrial hemp industry. The 85,000 square foot facility sits on 9-acres.
It is environmentally sustainable and was built from the ground up in hopes of
“Making America Hemp Again.” With a patent pending manufacturing process, the North
Carolina facility is operating full time to process millions of pounds of the
Company’s unique kenaf-hemp blend, to manufacture all-green natural loss
circulation material (LCMs), called DrillWall™
.
“We currently have 769,794 pounds
of raw kenaf bales, 363,225 pounds of DrillWall™; and 453,000 pounds of
Spill-B-Gone™. That’s a total of 1,586,019 pounds of product which translates
into finished product that will be sold for $1 – $4 per pound,” said Perlowin.
In addition to the company’s
industrial hemp processing facility in Spring Hope, North Carolina, Hemp, Inc.
also rents one of the most sophisticated local processing centers (LPC) in
White City, Oregon which focuses on hemp harvesting, drying, curing, trimming,
bagging, storing, and in some cases selling high CBD hemp for local farmers and
the Company’s own hemp grows in that area, and post processing for the CBD
industry. The Company’s focus is the “King of Hemp® prerolls
and high CBD smokable buds… a new phenomenon of smoking hemp which has caught
the marketplace by storm.
Hemp, Inc. and their associates
also have 4,500 acres of land in Golden Valley, Arizona (100 miles from
Las Vegas, 20 miles north of Kingman, AZ). Out of the 4,500 acres of land, 500
acres are designated for the Veteran’s Village Kins Community (VVKC) for
Arizona. Hemp, Inc. is preparing 80+ acres, of the 500 acres, for hemp
cultivation. The company aims to boost the economies of these towns by offering
affordable hemp processing services, which incentivizes local growers to add
hemp to their crop rotation. The company is continuing to scout new locations
for local processing centers in Florida, Kentucky, West Virginia, Puerto Rico,
North Carolina and several other states.
Thus far, Hemp, Inc.’s Local
Processing Center (LPC) in Oregon has employed over 200 employees during its
2018 harvest season and over 300 employees during its 2019 harvest season. As
of first quarter 2020, the Company has employed close to 50 employees who are
bucking, trimming, sorting, bagging and shipping the Company’s high quality
premium Pre-98 OG Bubba Kush hemp.
Division One Products:
· DrillWall™
(a loss circulation material)
· Spill-Be-Gone™
(an oil spill cleanup product)
As of first quarter 2020, Hemp, Inc. is fulfilling a $1
million dollar sales agreement, through its subsidiary, Industrial Hemp
Manufacturing (IHM), for its DrillWall™. According to CEO, Bruce
Perlowin, the Company has executed a sales agreement to sell $1
million worth of DrillWall™ over the course of one year. IHM received its first
$30,000 payment and shipped the first batch of DrillWall™ out in December, 2019
and another $60,000 payment was received for the second batch of DrillWall™ in
February, 2020 and a $30,000 payment in March, 2020. “We expect the remaining
balance from the $1,000,000 over the next few months,” said Perlowin. IHM is
based in Spring Hope, North Carolina, and is the production facility for DrillWall™, along with other industrial hemp
products.
Division Two – The Hemp Farming Infrastructure
The Hemp Farming
Infrastructure (Division Two) consists
of hundreds of acres of hemp and kenaf growing in multiple locations, farm
equipment, cloning rooms, clones and seeds, grow rooms, greenhouses, hemp
drying facilities and a huge amount of peripheral farming tools and equipment.
The progress Hemp, Inc. has made in its agricultural endeavors, over the course
of four years, has been amazing. This year marks the fifth year that Hemp, Inc.
has been growing hemp. (To see Hemp, Inc.’s agricultural progress from 2016 through
May, 2020, visit Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/kingofpot and
scroll through posts from 2016 to
the present. Visit https://www.hempincpresents.com/ to
see the videos of Hemp, Inc.’s grows in multiple locations.)
Hemp, Inc. also has two “Small
Family Hemp Farm” models. The “Small Family Hemp Farm” in North Carolina is
situated on 12 acres and consists of a cloning room, a greenhouse, and enough
land to grow 2,000-3,000 high CBD or CBG hemp plants. (This model farm can
be seen on Bruce
Perlowin‘s Facebook page, in the Aug. 22nd – 26th, 2018 posts.) The model shows farmers how to grow high
CBD and CBG hemp plants, operate a greenhouse and turn a barn into a cloning
room to earn up to $100,000+ a year. This shows an example of how the “Small Family
Hemp Farm” can be duplicated and reappear on the American landscape. After all,
the original small family farms in America were able to survive economically by
growing hemp as their main cash crop and the first five presidents of the
United States were all hemp
farmers.
A model “Small Family Hemp Farm”
is located Dolan Springs, Arizona. This “Small Family Hemp Farm” is referred to
as “The Orchard” since it has a sizable organic orchard. There are 2 acres on
which hemp will be grown; a cloning room; cold storage; and a greenhouse that
is planned to be installed. This year mostly CBG hemp will be grown.
This year, according to Perlowin,
the company is consulting on a 55-acre grow in Oregon, partnering with “Tractor
Richard” for 40 acres of CBG hemp and 100 acres of kenaf in Mohave Valley,
Arizona. (See Bruce Perlowin’s Facebook page
post for May 19, 2020.) The 10 – 40 acres in Golden Valley, Arizona for
the Veteran Village Kins Community is based on how many people will sign up for
the Hempathon (1 acre joint venture grows with Hemp, Inc.), hundreds of
acres in North Carolina (a combination of hemp and kenaf), and an
undetermined amount in other states.
It should be noted that the
number of acreage and the amount to be grown has fluctuated due to the COVID-19
pandemic. However, Perlowin says collective sales from all of these grows will
be extremely significant in terms of prerolls, high CBD and CBG buds,
distillate, isolate, biomass and many other products. “This year is about sales
and marketing for us. Right now, I believe we have the largest footprint of
bio-diverse hemp products with vertical integration in the hemp industry in
America today. We are always looking for joint ventures where we have or can
expand our footprint,” commented Perlowin.
Moreover, “A to Z” services for
the farmers are available – from harvesting to drying, curing, bucking, machine
trimming, hand trimming, bagging, storing, nitrogen sparging, and selling…
creating a “one stop shop” for the small to large family farms.
Division Two Products include:
· The King
of Hemp® PreRoll Blends
·
High premium CBD flower from the Rogue Valley in Southern Oregon, North
Carolina and Arizona
The super-premium King of Hemp® prerolls are
in full production and use Hemp, Inc.’s A and B hemp colas. The A and B hemp
colas are derived from Oregon-grown Pre-98 OG Bubba Kush, one of the top
selling cultivars on the market. The strain, rich soil and climate lend
themselves to these colas being among the highest quality buds, positioning
them to be some of the best tasting for consumption.
Advocates say Oregon has a
uniquely suited climate, politically and agriculturally, to dominate the
fast-growing industry. Given that Oregon farmers have demonstrated the ability
to grow world-renowned products, it makes sense that they would be able to
produce some of the best hemp buds in the world. Hemp Inc.’s grow operation in
Oregon is among the best in the state and has yielded some of the highest
quality hemp colas on the market. The company believes that they will hit the
20% mark of their grade A buds and the rest of the Company’s high-quality colas
will be used for their new line of prerolls.
The King
of Hemp® preroll line offers high-end products that are an effective
and flavorful, smokable alternative to cigarettes and other hemp consumption
methods. The remaining A and B colas used in the newly launched King of Hemp® prerolls are compliant with the
2018 Farm Bill, federal regulations, and regulations in the markets where they
are available for purchase. The King of Hemp® prerolls
can be purchased individually or in packs of 6. Each pre-roll is 1 gram and
does not exceed 0.3% THC.
As of the first quarter, sales
from the prerolls total $3,435. The packaging (boxes) for the prerolls were
delayed for two months due to COVID-19 but executives say everything is back on
track and they have 100,000 boxes in inventory as well as 100,000 tubes for the
prerolls in inventory. With everything back on track, pre-roll sales are expected
to explode with massive revenues to be generated next quarter.
Consumers can also shop on the newly redesigned website www.kingofhempusa.com for
the King of Hemp® prerolls.
Each preroll contains a smooth, nearly odorless natural hemp smoke. They are
tightly rolled into a filtered cigarette rice paper for the ultimate discreet
smoke. Many users have said the King of Hemp® prerolls
present a calming experience, perfect for alleviating feelings of anxiousness
and gaining mental clarity.
The King of Hemp® tinctures
also hit the market with steady sales. While there was a slight interruption in
sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, sales are now back on track. The tinctures
available on www.kingofhempusa.com are
fast-acting CBD oil tinctures that contain the full spectrum of hemp oil
extracted from the flowers and leaves of hemp plants grown by the Company. It
contains .3% or less THC so it’s federally legal nationwide.
Within the next 30 days, the
Company expects to roll-out the second product in the King of Hemp® (KOH) product line “Midnight
Express” in honor of Billy Hayes who made the name famous in the 1978 movie
“Midnight Express” chronicling his suffering at the hands of Turkish authorities
for trying to smuggle hash shish out of Turkey.
Hemp, Inc. is also hosting the Hempathon at the Veteran
Village Kins Community in Arizona. Contestants are growing 1
acre of hemp in a contest with other growers from around the country. Hemp,
Inc. is providing land, water, security, and live streaming video coverage for
participants. The Hempathon entry fee is $5,000 and a 50/50 revenue split.
Winners of the Hempathon will share in several awards and prizes of up to
$50,000.
The Veteran Village Kins
Community in Arizona has 6 domes and the overnight RV camping sites (see Bruce
Perlowin’s Facebook page post on 5/16/20) are being set up so
people can stay on the land during the Hempathon grow. Live streaming video
cameras are also ready, so the world can watch the “The Great American
Hempathon” in real time.
Also, as part of the Hempathon,
Hemp, Inc.’s Hemp Academy (Arizona) will offer classes in one of its geodesic
domes during the Hempathon, which will include hemp experts, product
developers, field trips to the grow area, and more. This hands-on, interactive,
educational experience is the chance of a lifetime for people to learn about
this new emerging multi-billion-dollar industry from hemp industry experts.
A 44-ft geodesic dome will be set
up to show movies, documentaries and courses on everything from bio-dynamic
farming, permaculture, organic farming practices to bees, predator pest
control, soil amendments, cloning, grafting and other peripheral agricultural
course materials.
“Knowledge is power and by
sharing knowledge, we all grow together,” says CEO Perlowin.
Those interested in signing up
for the Hempathon should contact Chris Tinney ctinney@hempinc.com.
Division Three – The Hemp Extraction & Pre-Roll Blending
Infrastructure
The Hemp CBD Oil Extraction &
Pre-Roll Blending Infrastructure (Division Three) originally
consisted of a Supercritical C02 Extractor. After operating for over a year it
has been determined that Hemp, Inc. will not be involved in the extraction
industry and has changed its direction to focus primarily on the King of Hemp® prerolls and The King of Hemp® high
CBD smokable
flower. The CBD oil that was extracted from the 2018 hemp grows in
North Carolina has been made into pure crystalline CBD isolate which was added
to the Company’s “King of Hemp®”
branded line of prerolls that are now in the marketplace across all 50 states.
In lieu of building its own
extraction laboratories, Hemp, Inc. plans to utilize the facilities of other
labs in the industry to manufacture its own line of CBD oil products while they
continue to build and expand the infrastructure for prerolls and high CBD
smokable buds. The Company will hire or joint venture with other, already
existing, labs to manufacture CBD, CBG, CBC, CBN, and other products in its
future cannabinoid line. With 150 different cannabinoids, over 300 terpenes,
and more of each being discovered almost monthly, the product range and
possibilities in this area are endless.
Division Four – The Hemp Educational Infrastructure
The Hemp Educational
Infrastructure (Division Four) includes
Hemp, Inc.’s Hemp
University which focuses on educating and empowering Hemp
farmers and entrepreneurs with knowledge, processing, infrastructure and
support. The educational seminars, through the
Hemp University, are held periodically (as needed). These seminars teach
farmers and landowners how to create a profitable income stream by maximizing
the per-acre crop revenue. Through this division, Hemp,
Inc. has trained well over 500 farmers in its first two years
by doing a total of nine Hemp University seminars in North Carolina and Oregon,
which included:
The
New Leaf Symposium and Golden Grow Awards Gala – January 26,
2020 (Jacksonville, Oregon)
“The New Leaf
Symposium’s” focus was “Regeneration” to celebrate optimism and resilience
in the industry, the power of the plant, and faith in the hemp-producing
community. The event sold out with over 180 attendees. The feedback from
attendees was overwhelmingly possible and the speakers were hailed as the best
yet. The educational symposium concluded with the “Golden Grow Awards Gala”.
The Golden Grow Awards Gala honored Oregon’s top cultivars and put Oregon’s
best farmers head-to-head for some of the most prestigious hemp-industry
accolades. There were four categories judged in the awards: Top CBD, Top
Terpenes, Judge’s Favorite, and Peoples’ Choice. (See Bruce Perlowin’s
personal Facebook
post on 1/28/20 for a short video on this symposium.)
The Pre-Harvest Symposium – September 8, 2019 (Oregon)
“The Pre-Harvest
Symposium” workshop at Southern Oregon University was expertly designed
for both farmers and entrepreneurs of all experience levels, focused on
harvesting, processing and profit channels within the hemp industry. The third
edition of the Southern Oregon Hemp University brought an abundance of insight
into innovations within the realm of harvesting and processing to the
forefront. Additionally, the symposium touched on traditional practices in
agriculture. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook
post on 9/9/19 for a short video on this symposium.)
Pre-Plant Support Workshop – May 4, 2019 (Oregon)
“The Pre-Plant Support
Workshop” was an incredible success that filled the entire venue to
capacity with attendees. In total, there were close to 200 attendees, including
20 vendors in attendance. The workshop was designed to help hemp farmers or those
who are interested in the hemp industry learn the best pre-planting practices
prior to the planting season. The Hemp University Pre-Planting Support Workshop
was an interactive and informative workshop that covered the various details
hemp farmers should know prior to planting in the 2019 season and
beyond. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook
post on 5/9/19 for a short video on this workshop.)
The Hemp University Educational Seminar – March 23, 2019 (Oregon)
This was the first Hemp
University held on the West Coast. The seminar provided attendees with a full
day of networking, education, and support. The seminar helped others in the
area who were interested in the hemp industry learn more about the “Industrial
Hemp Revolution” and how this movement can not only transform Southern Oregon’s
economy, but also revive family farms and small businesses in the surrounding
areas. (See Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook
post on 3/28/19 for a short video on this seminar.)

educational symposium, the number of attendees grew tremendously and was an
overwhelming success, each time. The interactive, hands-on learning approach
was invaluable. By learning in an interactive cohort format, students
gained the necessary skills they needed to immediately implement them on their
farm or in their organization. It’s the perfect mix of quality instruction,
relevant educational content and a high level of commitment, to ensure the
educational success of each attendee,” said Perlowin.
The Hemp University has helped
transform the livelihoods of North Carolina and Oregon farmers transitioning
from tobacco and other crops to industrial hemp by providing them with the
tools and support needed to gain a foothold in this burgeoning industry.
Division Five – The Hemp Marketing Infrastructure
While marketing is a critical facet of any business
operation for increasing revenues, Hemp, Inc. believes there must be a keen
focus on the infrastructure. The demand for CBD, CBG and other hemp products is
massive, some even say the demand is insatiable. In order to supply that type
of volume/demand, there must be a strong foundation or infrastructure in place.
While Hemp, Inc. continues to grow a rock-solid Hemp Marketing Infrastructure,
CEO Perlowin reminds us that this infrastructure has to be able to support a
meteoric industry growth. The cannabidiol (CBD) market is on track to grow to
$23.7 billion through 2023, according to the Brightfield
Group. The firm also estimated the smokable
hemp market to be valued at $11.5 million in 2018, a growth of
250% from 2017. “This is why we consistently focused on infrastructure for so
long. Since we made that a priority, we are now positioned to go into an
aggressive marketing mode,” says Perlowin.
In late January 2020 the first
King of Hemp® Store
had a soft launch in Kingman, Arizona. This 5,000 square foot Wells Fargo bank
building is in the heart of Old Town Kingman next to historic Route 66 and will
showcase everything hemp, including the KOH pre-roll line, flower, tinctures,
health and beauty products, and Hemp Blue’s hemp denim jeans (www.hempblue.com).
The retrofitted, once Wells Fargo Bank building, will also retain the working
vault.
The company has also recently
joint-ventured with the retail store “Hemp Healthcare”, in Dolan Springs,
Arizona, to sell high-end cannabidiol (CBD) and hemp-based products. “Hemp
Healthcare” is home to an array of renowned CBD and hemp products, including
Hemp, Inc.’s cosmetic and wellness line that includes shampoos, conditioners,
lotions, candles and more. The retail storefront is conveniently located off
Highway 93 in Arizona, in a highly trafficked tourist area. Specifically
located on Pierce Ferry Road, “Hemp Healthcare” is next to “Dolan Station” – a
location that welcomes numerous tour buses daily with visitors from around the
world that stop there on trips to the Grand Canyon. On some days, up to 40 tour
buses stop at this location, filled to the brim with tourists on their way to
the Sky Walk at the western realm of the Grand Canyon. The Company expects a
very good return later this year. It should be noted that due to COVID-19, tour
buses are not currently running but the store has become incredibly active due
to COVID-19.
Division Six – Accessories, Products and Services
Division Six focuses on the sale
of hemp industry accessories such as the sale of extractors, harvesters,
storage bags, containers, fertilizer, soil amendments, humidifiers,
dehumidifiers, balers, greenhouses, and greenhouse equipment; the drying,
trimming, curing, storing and brokering for other farmers harvesting hemp; and
ultimately anything else a hemp farmer may need to be successful.
“What we found is that people are
always looking for hundreds of items. New harvesting equipment, irrigation
equipment of all kinds, soil amendments, organic soil fertilizers, organic pest
control products, new extraction technologies and more,” said Perlowin. “As we
expand this Division, we will strive to become the Amazon of the hemp
industry.”
According to Perlowin, Hemp, Inc. is currently building
out a new section of its website that will list all of the products. This
information will be available on https://www.hempinc.com/ in
the near future.
Division Seven – Research and Development
While Research and Development
has been an integral part of Hemp, Inc. since day one, a more formal research
and development project will be planned for later this year. This division will
then start and expand rapidly. The Company originally planned for Puerto Rico
to be a research and development hub, but found the barrier to entrance was
much too great and has therefore changed its position to focus its research and
development division on states where hemp is already legal. Hemp, Inc. is proud
to have been a pioneer and leader in the early stages of the hemp industry in
America with our strategy to build infrastructure even before legalization
occurred in a state such as what was done in North Carolina and Arizona.
“It is now more economically
advantageous to operate in a state that already has several years of
legalization behind it because it makes it easier further down the road for
hemp companies to thrive – just as we have done in North Carolina, Arizona,
Nevada and especially Oregon. Our growing operation in Oregon hit a grand slam,
2 years in a row.”
Division Eight – Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures
Hemp, Inc. established its eighth
division (Industrial Hemp Investments and Joint Ventures). Since the
passing of the 2018 hemp bill, Hemp, Inc. has been flooded with inquiries of
people who want to invest in the hemp industry but don’t know where to start.
As the Avant-guard of the industrial hemp industry, Hemp, Inc. has put together
numerous joint venture investment opportunities for the medium to large-scale
investor. Those who are interested should email ir@hempinc.com. Millionaire
investors, and in some cases billionaires and billion-dollar hedge fund
managers, are aggressively trying to get into the hemp industry since the
passing of the 2018 Farm Bill. Our joint venture agreements are that they put
up the money and we put up the expertise in a 50/50 revenue share (after
all the initial investment money is paid back). This will save the large-scale
hemp investor often two years and dozens of multi-million-dollar mistakes that
they “WILL” often make without an expert in the hemp industry. This is where
Hemp, Inc.’s vast network of experts and resources, built over a period of 10
years, in the industrial hemp industry come into play because this is something
we can easily provide to those interested in entering this industry.
Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting
Hemp, Inc.’s Industrial Hemp and
Medical Marijuana Consulting Company (IHMMCC) was recently restructured as its
ninth division and is now “Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting”. With an
influx of public companies wanting to expand into the industrial hemp industry,
Hemp, Inc. has been inundated with potential consulting agreements. To keep up,
Hemp, Inc. revamped its consulting division to work hands-on with each company
to provide its years of expertise. According to Perlowin, there is a sense of a
“Community of Companies” whereby a lot of companies are working together to
pool their resources, marketing connections and strategies in order to grow
simultaneously.
Typically, companies seeking in
depth consulting services from Hemp, Inc. pay mostly in stock since cash flow
is oftentimes tight during the developmental stage of start-up companies in
this industry. Through Hemp, Inc.’s Division Nine – Industrial Hemp Consulting,
a wide range of services are forged from the experiences of creating the first
publicly traded company in the cannabis sector (Medical Marijuana, Inc.) and
having over a decade of experience in the industrial hemp industry’s public
sector. Perlowin, Hemp, Inc.’s chief executive officer, also has over five
decades in the industry.
Division Ten – Educational Entertainment
Hemp, Inc.’s newest division,
Entertainment, will cover everything from investing in the movie “The
Adventures of the King of Pot” (https://www.kingofpotthemovie.com/)
and other historical movies, books and documentaries representing our industry
up to the current docuseries being made on “The Modern Day History
of Hemp”. Those interested in investing in any one of these ventures should
contact the division’s Project Manager, Chris Tinney, at 855-554-6834 or via
email, ctinney@hempinc.com.
VETERAN VILLAGE KINS COMMUNITIES
To see the livestream feed for the Veteran’s Village Kins
Community Arizona, visit https://www.hempinc.com/arizona and
click on “View Live Feed” or visit www.kinscommunity.com and
click on the “Livestream Video” tab.
The company’s 500-acre strategic
growing partner Veteran Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona, is
designed to grow hemp and produce CBD and CBG products to benefit veterans as
well as generate revenue for Hemp, Inc., the Veteran Village and individual
veterans living in the community.
The Veteran Village Kins
Community in Arizona has completed its final site plan blueprints for its 36 of
the 500-acre site in Golden Valley, Arizona (20 miles north of Kingman, AZ
and 90 minutes from Las Vegas, NV). The site plan was submitted to the Mohave
County Building Department for final review. The Company is also in the final
stages of completing the necessary infrastructure to support an off-grid,
renewable, energy system.
Live streaming video can be accessed on www.kinscommunity.com by
clicking the “Livestream Video” tab. Viewers are able to actually see the way
the Veteran Village Kins Community is designed and watch it being built.
According to Perlowin, the basic framework or overall plan of the Veteran
Village Kins Communities is to create a holistic healing and learning center
that is designed to educate and heal veterans with PTSD, alcoholism, meth
addiction, opioid addiction, and other psychological conditions while at the
same time training them on the numerous aspects of being part of the emerging
multi-billion-dollar hemp industry.
The Company will also build
hemp-growing communities for other groups such as “Abused” Women & Children
Village Kins Communities; the “Orphans” Village Kins Communities; “Homeless”
Village Kins Communities, the “Healers” Village Kins Communities (the healers
are professionals who are knowledgeable in the modalities to treat these
traumatized groups); and a community to “Heal the Healers” called Heal the
Healers Village Kins Community Arizona. These particular communities are all
synergistically aligned to work simultaneously supporting each other.
For example, the “Healers” heal
the traumatized veterans and women & children; the women support orphaned
children, and orphaned children want to see people living in homes and not
homeless. Thus, a portion of the hemp grown in each community goes to create
and support another community, giving everybody a sense of giving back and
helping others as they help themselves. This circles back to the healers who
also work to heal the veterans and the other traumatized groups. This is the
economic foundation on how the sale of the hemp products operates as a “quantum
economic matrix” or an example of “symbiotic economics” which is way more
complex than this brief description allows.
Dwight Jory, the Project Manager
for the “Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.”, said, “We are very
happy with the progress. Our Kins Community is really beginning to come
together.” Planting began April 20, 2020 (see Bruce Perlowin’s Facebook
page post on 5/15/20). Three-hundred acres have been fenced and 120 acres have
been scraped and cleared to grow hemp, 13 overnight trailer park sites are
under construction, and organic gardens have been planted, according to Jory.
These organic gardens double as experimental growing modules using an entire
array of different growing technologies to see which modalities grow the best
in a desert environment. As for the 6 geodesic domes, two have been converted
to greenhouse nurseries (see Bruce Perlowin’s personal Facebook page post
on 5/14/20) and the others are structurally intact. “We have been gaining
a lot of momentum in our Veteran’s Village, so these updates change week by
week,” says Perlowin.
“We are now accepting volunteers
who have expressed an interest in helping to build the first Kins Community for
our veterans,” said Jory. Those interested in making the first hemp growing
CBD-producing “Veteran Village Kins Community” become a reality should contact
Ms. Sandra Williams via email (swilliams@hempinc.com).
One thousand trees, on 36 of the
500-acres, have also been planted, with an additional 1,000 trees on order. The
“Veteran Village Kins Community” will include a 100,000-square foot GMP
compliant, central processing plant, a state-of-the-art testing laboratory, and
various health and wellness centers to support veterans who may have
psychological, emotional or health issues.
“As Hemp, Inc. positions itself
on the forefront of America’s industrial hemp revolution, we see our
partnership with ‘Veteran Village Kins Community Arizona, Inc.’ being paramount
in supporting the small family farm movement that we are confident will reshape
the American landscape,” said Perlowin. “As we work toward getting our
eco-village up and running in Golden Valley, Arizona, we are also aggressively
scouting strategic locations in other states including North Carolina, South
Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Giving
veterans and other Americans a place to learn new skills and take part in this
multi-billion-dollar hemp CBD market is very exciting. It’s a big part of our
mission to give back. Recently we have expanded our Kins Community concept
internationally focusing on, but not limited to, Israel, New Zealand, Canada,
Africa, and Australia.”
Hemp, Inc. executives are also
continuing to scout new locations nationwide to open additional hemp processing
centers in legal markets.
