The Emperor Wear No Clothes author Jack Herer has long had a cannabis strain named for him created by Sensi Seeds and now SweetWater Brewing Company in Atlanta has created Jack Herer Harvest Ale as a tribute to the indefatigable hemp activist.
SweetWater tells CelebStoner:

“SweetWater’s Jack Herer Harvest Ale is our version of a Hoppy Red IPA, brewed in collaboration with the estate of Jack Herer, mainly his son Dan Herer who carries his legacy with his Original Jack Herer brand. Jack Herer, and now Dan, are famous cannabis rights activists dating back to the ’70s.
“The SweetWater Jack Herer Harvest Ale features their (non-cannabis derived) terpenes that emulate their actual strain, combined with our proprietary blend of hops, all natural hemp flavors to deliver an authentic nod to the original ‘Emperor of Hemp‘ himself. While there aren’t any ingredients derived from actual hemp or cannabis, just like our G13 IPA and Mango Kush Wheat Ale, the concept of our Strain brews is to emulate profiles of popular strains. For this one, the strain name and the beer’s namesake is Jack Herer.”

Scientists have discovered that hemp extract can help bees survive poisoning by pesticides.
The team from Lublin’s Maria Curie-Skłodowska University are the first in the world to test the longevity of bees who have been exposed to pesticides after receiving hemp extract.
Team leader Professor Aneta Ptaszyńska said: “There are reports that hemp extract protects human nerve cells, we decided to check whether it would be the same in the case of a bee.
“For now, we know that the extract extends the life of bees that have been exposed to pesticides.
“The tested insects lived comparatively as long as those that had never had contact with harmful substances.”

The U.S. has few decortication facilities. Panda Biotech claims the plant they’re building will be the largest hemp-fiber decortication facility in the U.S.Panda Biotech said Tuesday it has contracted 500,000 square feet for the facility, along with the surrounding 97-acre campus that formerly was a General Motors plant.
Panda Biotech said it plans to install machinery capable of decorticating 10 tons of raw hemp an hour. The company also plans to cottonize the hemp fibers at the decortication facility.
