With plenty of 2 and 3 part harmony and lively guitar and mandolin instrumental breaks, you are surely going to be entertained!

Introducing Journeyman Edible Packs, Errls Oil, and a Female Suppository by Fairwinds Manufacturing!
Journeyman Edible Packs: From the same company that brings you SPOT, Moxey’s, and PROPER cannabis infused edibles, we’re proud to announce the arrival of the newest Journeyman lineup from botanicaSEATTLE! Today, we’ve added three new Journeyman edible packs to the menu including chocolate covered potato chips called “Couch Potatoes”, sweet and sour “Weed Tarts”, as well as their “Munchie Pack” which includes snickerdoodle, peanut butter, and triple chocolate cookies. Each edible pack is 100mg total, and are affordably priced at $25 each.
Errls Premium Cannabis Concentrates: The first time we tried Errls and experienced their terp-o-meter first hand, we knew it was a product that our customers and patients would love. Errls brings premium concentrates to the market at a very affordable price, and we are stoked to partner with them to offer their potent and tasty wax and high CBD sap. Be sure to pick some up next time you’re in the shop, and remember, you save on concentrates on Wax Wednesday and Shatterday!
Cannabis Female Suppository: Yes, that’s right. This is another first for the medical and recreational cannabis industry here in Washington State, and we can thank Fairwinds Manufacturing. It comes to no surprise to us that Fairwinds is pushing the envelope once again with a product that disrupts the current offerings in the state, but more importantly, has the potential to help so many women. “Feminine Relief is designed to provide daily and monthly relief to women, and the CBD, THCA, and THC cannabinoid ratio are optimized to support relaxation and comfort without psychoactive effects.” Details on the product description can be found here.

Check out more on PREVENT!: http://www.preventclarkcounty.org
H.E.M.P.’s Partnership with PREVENT!
High End Marketing Place has been partnering with PREVENT! coalition since April 2015, when PREVENT! launched their “Weed Can Wait” youth now program. Together with PREVENT! we’ve passed out thousands of point of sale cards to our customers and patients that shop with us. The focus of the cards is to educate community members on the importance of safely securing your cannabis (and other harmful substances) so that youth cannot access it. We believe that our platform offers us an opportunity to be part of the conversation to influence our community’s health positively, and we take this opportunity and responsibility seriously.
H.E.M.P. Lockable, Smell Proof Bags – now available
After becoming involved in the conversation, we decided as a company to begin selling lockable, smell proof bags made of HEMP, for anyone who would like to provide that safe guard between the cannabis products they are purchasing at HEMP, and youth. Not only do these bags offer a safe place to store cannabis flower, vapor products, or edibles, they also may give parents the opportunity to discuss the substances when the time is right.

HEMP Happenings January 2017
HEMP Celebrates 2 Year Anniversary
We were so excited to celebrate our 2 year anniversary with our community on Jan. 29. There was live entertainment by local bluegrass band, Tried and Blue, and free dogs from Nomad’s Gourmet Hot Dogs. In addition, we offered plenty of in-house cannabis deals to show our friends and customers how much we appreciate their continued support. We definitely felt the love and hope you did too!
Keeping the Chronic Stocked
The last couple of years has been a dream, and we know 2017 will be no different. We’ve gotten to know so many incredible people, we’ve invited our community to share in art and music events, and we’ve consistently provided the best cannabis product we can find! The entire H.E.M.P. family is excited and passionate about being part of the medical and recreational marijuana industry and providing our customers with a product that improves their lives.
Our mission is to ensure that priority is placed on overall community health and well being. We visit each and every facility we purchase from, and last year we began taking you inside the grows and processing facilities through our “H.E.M.P. Visits” video series on our YouTube channel. This year, the “H.E.M.P. Visits” video series will be taken to the next level, and we will continue to develop long term relationships with the most experienced companies in the legal weed industry, so that we can all trust that it is the safest to consume.
Cannabis Culture Events in 2017
This year’s Sunday Sessions and Featured artists are sure to blow you away. A new local artist is displayed on the 1st of every month, and Sunday Sessions is held every last Sunday of the Month. Join us for these monthly cannabis culture events, as we are providing a safe space to socialize and talk about how weed inspires and helps people everyday.

We are consistent about our offerings, and are proud to partner with the best that the medical and recreational marijuana industry has to offer here in Washington and Oregon.
H.E.M.P. visits JV Ranch
A methodical, organic approach to the highest quality Cannabis and Rosin in the i502 Market
The H.E.M.P. team first visited Johnny Vanella’s ranch out in Goldendale, Washington in November 2014, a few months before opening our doors to the public on January 31, 2015. Out of the three or four i502 facilities we saw that day, JV Ranch stood out and impressed us on many levels. Johnny’s experience growing on the medical side, his use of Roots Organic Soil, and his overall transparency and genuine approach to growing cannabis. At that point, JV Ranch was an indoor grow facility with much potential to expand to outdoor growing in the future. We left his ranch that day in Eastern Washington feeling overwhelmed with an excitement about the journey we were embarking upon in this new industry. Collectively we knew we had met someone unique and authentic and there was no question that this partnership would be longterm and mutually successful.
Almost two years later, JV Ranch has a phenomenal outdoor/greenhouse grow as well as an indoor garden where he can continue to produce in the off season and experiment with new strains and methods. After visiting Johnny’s ranch a few more times, and most recently taking a trip out there to check out his fresh sungrown harvest, we feel the same (if not more) excitement about his products, his growing methods, and his ambitious approach to becoming Clean Green Certified.
What’s this Clean Green Certification about, Anyway?
Clean Green is all about responsible agriculture. This is the only nationally recognized third party cannabis certification program designed to help agricultural businesses become as sustainable as possible in order to reduce their carbon footprint while offering organic cannabis options to the consumer for their safety and well being.
The certification is fairly rigorous, expensive, and time consuming, and tests things such as soil, water runoff to neighboring streams, as well as which organic pesticides are being used in the process of cannabis cultivation. We work directly with several businesses within the i502 industry that are Clean Green Certified including Botanica Seattle and Gold Leaf Gardens, and indirectly with Puffin Farms and Emerald Twist. Every item on the shelves in an i502 retail store has been tested per LCB regulation (which is another blog for another day), but the Clean Green Certification is an extra step taken by responsible cannabis producers and processors to ensure that every product they put to market is the safest product on the shelves.
“We have an opportunity with these small farms to put in an little extra elbow grease and be a little more conscious of how our choices affect the environment and the people who consume this medicine.”
– Johnny Vanella, JV Ranch Owner
Current JV Ranch Products on the Shelves at H.E.M.P.
We are proud to carry JV Ranch’s highest quality organic cannabis product line including:
Bluniverse 3: An indica hybrid strain bred from Blue Magoo and Ms. Universe that tastes and smells like blueberry cheesecake. A JV Ranch staple strain that is among one of the favorites of the High End crew.
Pink: Another staple strain whose genetics are unknown. Johnny has been growing this indica hybrid strain for years on the medical market and it has continued to produce well for him on the recreational market. Another favorite among customers and H.E.M.P. team!
Rosin: JV’s rosin is made with premium dry sift (kief) and pressed to perfection. JV releases pressed rosin in staple strains as well as high CBD combinations such as Pink/ACDC and Bluniverse3/ACDC.
Bubble Hash: A favorite among old school smokers, JV’s ice and water extraction method produces some of the best smelling and tasting bubble has we’ve found in the market. A nice addition to any bowl or joint!
Kief: Tasty and potent dry sift resin trichomes from his signature strains.
We also carry JV Ranch’s Marionberry, Blue Magoo, Platinum OG, Black Domina, and Strawberry Mountain when available. Check out our full menu here to see all of our current JV Ranch products.

How are CBD and THC ratios established?
The search for the golden ratio.
With demand for high CBD (cannabidiol)cannabis products continuing to grow amongst both medical and recreational users, the cannabis industry is now saturated with a wide selection of products featuring different ratios between the cannabinoids CBD and THC (Tetrahydrocannabinols). Some of the most common ratios on the recreational market are 1:1 (equal amounts of CBD and THC), 2:1 (twice as much CBD as THC), 5:1, 10:1, and 20:1. With all of these wonderful new choices comes the burden for many consumers of trying to decipher which amongst these various options is going to give them the optimal therapeutic effect.
Many people who are seeking CBD for the potential health benefits are not necessarily interested in the “high” or euphoric effects that comes from the psychoactive cannabinoid THC. However, research suggests that CBD and THC work synergistically to provide a wealth of health benefits, a phenomenon known as the Entourage Effect. In other words, CBD alone may not be nearly as effective as it is when consumed in conjunction with THC. So this leaves us begging the question, is there some golden ratio that will allow users to reap the full benefits of CBD while still reducing unwanted mind alteration?
We spoke with Lena Davidson from botanicaSEATTLE (Spot) a company that has supplied High End Market Place with edibles of various CBD levels over the past few years, she stated that “The 5:1 ratio is closest to the pure “medical” ratio that allows for maximum CBD effect with minimum THC.” She added that “There are lots of schools of thought on this; how entourage is “too” entourage? At what point does CBD lose it’s effectiveness? Some research suggests that CBD does it’s best work in smaller doses. We don’t have lots of science available to us, so we’ve made use of our existing resources. We sent a small group to the Northwest Herb Symposium last year to workshop with microbiologist and expert in botanicals Kevin Spelman PhD, and and he is an advocate for the 5:1 ratio as the peak therapeutic range. We used that ratio to guide our decision to make a subspychoative product that (presumably) offers the purest experience of CBD.”
“We don’t have lots of science available to us, so we’ve made use of our existing resources.”
– Lena Davidson, bontanicaSEATTLE (SPOT)
Spot’s approach to choosing the right CBD ratios for products is similar to other industry leaders that we spoke to about this issue. James Hull, Owner of Fairwinds, another producer/processor that provides H.E.M.P. with CBD based products told me that they choose their product ratios by analyzing available research in order to determine “what is most effective for treatments of particular ailments or conditions [they] are targeting.”
While we commend these companies for attempting to take on analysis and research in order to create the best, most effective products that they can, long-term clinical studies should not and cannot fall on the shoulders of producers and processors. More information needs to be gathered on WHY each of these ratios proves to have validity as treatment for various conditions. Is a 20:1 CBD to THC ratio more effective than a 1:1 ratio for someone with epilepsy? In order to give this industry a leg up and continue to supply our communities with reliable products and information, we need to continue to push for more third-party research.
WA allows labs to grow cannabis for scientific purposes.
The good news, is that Washington state officials have agreed to begin conducting studies in order to advance the cannabis industry and enhance consumer products despite federal regulations. Newly allotted applications for cannabis research licenses will allow laboratories to grow cannabis for scientific purposes. Acceptance of applications is expected to begin by January, 2017. According to the News Tribune, Peter Antolin, Liquor Control Board deputy director, believes that this program will “advance the field of marijuana research and solidify Washington as a leader in this field.” Washington State University and the University of Washington are already gearing up to lead cannabis studies.
Our only concern is that research on the effectiveness of current products may take a backseat to determining the medical legitimacy of cannabis in general. Imagine for a moment if no clinical studies were done on pharmaceutical drugs before they hit the market. There would be no standard for effectiveness of products, and it would be up to the consumer to take a risk on buying something that may not help them at all. Not to mention potential side effects that may arise without warning. We are not suggesting that all cannabis products need to go through testing prior to hitting the market, but it would definitely be helpful to get some overarching feedback from an unbiased and well-established viewpoint.
