    “Revered as the founding father of the modern-day hemp movement, Jack Herer’s spirit and legacy must continue. That’s why the Colorado Hemp Company and the NoCo Hemp Expo are proud to honor the Foundation and gather with the community at this event,” says Morris Beegle, Founder, Colorado Hemp Company and Producer of the NoCo Hemp Expo and Southern Hemp Expo. “Jack Herer’s longstanding commitment to ending the prohibition of cannabis has given us the tools and the resources to build new industries and help educate the world about the possibilities of this powerful plant.”

    Santa Clarita, CA (September 25, 2019) – Hemp supporters from across the country are taking to the links and gathering together to honor cannabis trailblazer Jack Herer’s illustrious legacy at the Foundation’s Inaugural Dinner and Golf Tournament on Friday, October 4, at the Sand Canyon Country Club in Santa Clarita, CA. The Jack Herer Foundation unites the medicinal marijuana and hemp industries to educate the public further and raise awareness about the powerful benefits and uses of cannabis.

    The primary goal of the Jack Herer Foundation is to re-introduce the history of hemp by creating a Mobile Education Center and by building the Jack Herer National Hemp Museum. The museum will focus on educating communities nationwide about the renewable agricultural resource and its power to be made into paper, textiles, fuel, nutrition, medicines, building materials, and plastic alternatives.

    Proceeds from the Inaugural Dinner and Golf Tournament will go toward the official launch of the Foundation. The tournament will be in the “4-person scramble” format with dinner, dancing, and a live auction beginning at 5:30 pm.

  • Hemp Hemp Hooray!

    Hemp Hemp Hooray!

    Leading Hemp Expo Producer Colorado Hemp Company Celebrates Historic Farm Bill Legalizing Industrial Hemp in the U.S.

    World’s largest hemp expo producer poised to meet opportunities and challenges of legal hemp with industry-leading events including the upcoming town-hall style Winter Hemp Summit on January 11; the hemp industry’s flagship event, the 6th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo in Denver, March 29-30; and the second annual Southern Hemp Expo in Nashville, TN, and the 3rd Annual Hawaii Hemp Conference in Fall 2019.

    Fort Collins, CO (December 21, 2018) – Following the successful second annual Hawaii Hemp Conference in Honolulu and President Trump’s signing of the 2018 Farm Bill into law—with watershed provisions to legalize industrial hemp—Colorado Hemp Company, the world’s largest hemp expo and conference producer, is ramping up to meet the unprecedented momentum surrounding the emerging industry in 2019.

    “On a scale of 1 to 10, we’ve been operating at 11 for the past year,” said Colorado Hemp Company co-founder Morris Beegle. “Now we’re moving into overdrive, and we’re ready to take it ‘#OneLouder.’ It’s such an exciting time to be spreading the word about hemp,” he says.

    “With the signing of the Farm Bill, a very long battle was won,” Beegle continues. “Hemp and all parts, including cannabinoids, extracts, and derivatives of the plant, have been removed from the Controlled Substances Act. All parts of the plant. After the Farm Bill passing both houses of congress and being signed today by President Trump, #Hemp is now explicitly legal and hemp prohibition is over. It’s great news for the cannabis plant (yes, hemp is cannabis and all cannabis should experience freedom), and for everyone who has fought for its freedom over the years, decades, centuries and millennia.”

    As the hemp industry prepares for legalization, Colorado Hemp Company will host the Winter Hemp Summit on January 11, 2019, in Fort Collins, CO. The town hall-style one-day forum is sure to be lively as industry leaders take a look back over important events and issues of 2018, including the Farm Bill, and look forward to what’s to come in 2019.

    The largest gathering of industry professionals ever under one roof will feature 70,000 square feet of exhibitions with more than 225 exhibitors, a business conference and agriculture & farm symposium, a global hemp village, science and technical workshops, a fashion parade and several networking events. For speaker and sponsor information, visit www.nocohempexpo.com.

    “After five successful years in Fort Collins, we’re thrilled to bring this industry-leading event to a convenient location not only for Coloradoans but for people traveling from around the world to learn about and celebrate this plant,” Beegle said. “Our path of exponential growth reflects this industry’s extraordinary journey.”

    On September 6 and 7, 2019, Southern Hemp Expo, a robust, program-rich trade show for the industrial, nutritional and therapeutic hemp industries, will return to Nashville, TN, to build on the success of this past year’s first-ever expo. The event will feature more than 100 vendors and exhibitors, more than 50 industry expert speakers, a business conference, farm symposium and plenty of networking opportunities.

    The company also recently launched a weekly e-newsletter, Let’s Talk Hemp, covering news, entertainment and trends in the emerging hemp products market to accompany its Let’s Talk Hemp podcast featuring industry leaders Rick Trojan and Morris Beegle.

    “To say we’re hitting the ground running in 2019 would be quite an understatement,” Beegle said. “It’s looking to be a groundbreaking year for this groundbreaking industry.”

    Passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, which President Trump on December 20 signed into law, has been a watershed moment for the hemp industry. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky) stated it will “encourage new opportunities for struggling farmers and their families, new products for use in construction, health care, and manufacturing, and new jobs in a broad range of fields.”

    30 Days ‘til Showtime

    by Morris Beegle
    Hello my fellow Hempsters, advocates, friends and peers. I am writing this right after our 18-person Team NoCo meeting from Expo Headquarters in Loveland. We are fervently working in all areas to present a hemp-centric experience like nothing you’ve seen before. For those of you who were with us last year, that was a small taste of what NoCo3 and the 2016 Expo and Conference will be like this go around.

    As of today, March 2nd, #NoCoHempExpo is 30 Days ‘til show time, and we have assembled nearly double the sponsor, exhibitor and donor participants from 2015. This reflects the hard work and growth of the young hemp industry:  All of our dreams about the future economy and society have a real chance of coming true. Attendees will learn about hemp’s possibilities new and old, from farming to tomorrow’s energy.

    In addition to the fantastic companies who have jumped on board to make this a one of a kind showcase of industrial and nutritional hemp products and services, NoCo3 features an astonishing lineup of speakers, panelists, and educators gearing up for an exciting two days of insight, conversation, and engaging learning opportunities. We will be introducing the LET’S TALK HEMP Stage and HempTomorrow Stage, along with our Hemp Biz Journal Panel Room where we are launching the first-ever Hemp Summit. Yes, this is the first investment summit solely focused on industrial hemp. Moving forward, our goal is to continue to provide these amazing opportunities year round to companies deserving of funding and capital.

    2016 is the year to step it up a notch, collaborate, unify, and put an end to the outdated, unfounded, regressive stereotypes that surround industrial hemp. The time is now to join forces and make a stand.

    Today we are pleased to announce our 100+ exhibitors along with a partial list of our speakers and presenters. As we finalize the panels and specific topics over the next two weeks, we will reveal the full programming schedule which consists of global experts and thought leaders who will discussing everything from farming, equipment, processing, seeds, breeding, genetics, science, innovation, legislation, insurance, banking, infrastructure, economies of scale, product development, delivery channels, the future of hemp, and so much more.

    I am extremely grateful for the talented and dedicated team that has come together for this year’s expo. Lizzy Knight, Hunter Buffington, Chris Wogan, Preston Whitfield, Dave Smith, Lori Buderus, Kristen Kunau, Rachel Jackson, Abbie Marks, Ben Wright, Doug Fine, Tim Gordon, Sean Murphy, Zev Paiss, David Maddalena, Summer Star-Haeske, Debby West, Kevin Buecher, Brad Shannon, Jena McGarrahan, Tony Buderus, Alexa Vasquez, Thomas Ivory Jr., Kirstin Bohnert, Alyssa Erickson, Elliott Shope and the dozens of volunteers coming on board this month. Thank You!

    Stay tuned for more from Team NoCo over the coming 30 days! Countdown is on!!!
