sprouting hemp , is it possible

[delmar]

Echinacea a medicinal and I suppose should be treated that way. I wouldn't plan on consuming it in large volumes like I would broccoli. I'm pretty sure it is never going to be my main meal.

I wonder if the sprouts taste nice. Echinacea seems to work well taken as a supplement and if it tastes nice maybe it would be a good addition. Especially if there is the same substance in the sprouted seed as there is in the root.

I really haven't been able to find much information, so far, on sprouts. We may be in uncharted territory on this one. Also the echinacea seeds that I have found so far are pretty expensive, to the tune of $40/pound. I think perhaps if eating the sprouts is the way I end up going with this, I am going to need to grow mature plants and save seeds.
Seems I have more research ahead of me.

The sprouts do have the same substance as the roots (or at least one of the compounds, I forget the name of it). They could very well have superior benefits.

I dont think echinaceae have CBD but having some kind of cannabinoid.

I am VERY interested in raw cannabis. Ingestion of CBD has been suggested as a treatment for depersonalization disorder. Also excessive THC has been found "linked" to the very same symptom. Also smoking it may effect one in a totally different way than consuming the raw buds, of course depending on how it is taken/prepared. I actually helped myself to quit smoking it so much by chewing on raw buds. Then there is also the consideration of having the proper CBD/THC ratio.

I think.. one could grind the plant matter with the seeds, or make a "no bake" recipe in which it could make the cannbinoids bioactive. That and well it may also have to be cured.

Research if you will, the person who calls himself Free Rob Cannabis, or Free Love Cannabis. He is really into the raw cannabis thing.

here is a good thread on raw hemp with info from the Free Rob's website that was taken down sometime ago http://forum.grasscity.com/medical-m...oid-syste.html

My thread ;).

yes, but I havne't seen anywhere that echinacea actually has CBD, only that it has a cannabinoid or has effects on the endocannbinoid system.

nor have I but then I have been looking for the actual content. I have had good results from taking it orally and so I'm really only interested to know whether it is ok to sprout perhaps. Otherwise I will grow it for the flowers alone perhaps and enjoy looking at them and watch the birds eat the seeds!
