The Hemp Industry is Ever-changing Offering Wide-open Opportunity for the Cannabis Global Market

PALM BEACH, Florida, October 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The quest for cannabis plants that consistently and reliably produce less than 0.3 percent THC continues, although hemp tends to be overlooked by many in the cannabis and legal marijuana community, the market is significantly gaining momentum as more hemp-based products burst onto the scene with regulations becoming increasingly more friendly for hemp industry leaders. Hemp and Cannabis Company market activity and news coverage today includes: Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), mCig, Inc. (OTC: MCIG), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA) and 22nd Century Group, Inc. (NYSE: XXII)

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest industrial hemp multi-purpose processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today that the Company has begun harvesting 550 acres of North Carolina-grown hemp, and later kenaf (hibiscus cannabinus, a cousin plant to industrial hemp). The 550 acres of hemp and kenaf belong to both Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC. (Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary) and independent North Carolina farms that are strategic partners with Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC.

Scroll down to the posts between September 7th and 11th and September 20th and 22nd," said Bruce Perlowin, CEO of Hemp, Inc. (OTC PINK: HEMP).

"We want to remind our current and future shareholders that Hemp, Inc. strives to be one of the most transparent companies in the public sector. To adhere to this company policy of transparency, I post 1-minute video updates daily on my personal Facebook page to give an inside look and behind-the-scenes footage of what Hemp, Inc. is doing on a daily basis. We want them to know how the company is performing and what it is doing to reach its goals. For example, this past weekend we held the 4th educational symposium through the Hemp University. It was an overwhelming success."

"We had to stop selling tickets, just like in the first three events, because we were over capacity. We originally planned for only 100 attendees but there were over 140 people in attendance. We're expecting an even larger crowd at the next Hemp University educational symposium, scheduled for December 2, 2017, of 300 to 420 attendees. Of course, we plan to hold it at a much larger venue. We strongly encourage you to buy your tickets early. We will definitely sell out and this isn't marketing hype," says Perlowin.Read this entire release at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/hemp.html
