Hemp plants are unique in their ability to bring substances from deep down… this means they can bring up valuable nutrients, but they can also bring up toxins. This is why it is so important that you choose hemp that is not only certified organic, but that has been grown in soil that hasn’t had toxic chemicals sprayed on it recently, either.
A farm can be certified organic in as little as three years… spend 3 years in “transitional organic” status (no chemicals added), plant a hemp crop, and Voila! Healthy, organic hemp, right? We believe that’s not necessarily the case and may be the reason why some certified organic hemp can still test positive for toxic chemicals. The “leftover” chemical from before organic farming practices were adopted can linger in the soil, then be brought up by plants (such as hemp) that are particularly good at bringing up substances from far below the surface.
