Great. And it's basically a really 29 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:30,700 simple start out. I want to know more about the hemp plant and CBD, so a basic book. 30 00:02:30,820 --> 00:02:35,420 That's a great introduction and when you have learned a little bit about that and you get 31 00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:40,280 passionate about it and you want to learn more then it's very handy to have a book and that's 32 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:46,800 why i want to do this episode like a bit size information so you could chew it you could think 33 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:55,240 about it and then i did this reflection and aha moment you could say when i looked at the cover 34 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:03,140 of your book and also the great artwork of my co-host adam tinkoff and i was thinking how many 35 00:03:03,140 --> 00:03:10,980 you could say leaf it is on the plant and i counted to seven and when i looked at your book cover 36 00:03:10,980 --> 00:03:17,800 and i was thinking when i saw when we'll talk more about in future episodes about cocavida 37 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:24,680 and tibor and kim and i saw when they have been at the plantation you could say and where we get 38 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:34,180 a great product or material i saw oh that plant looks different it's more leaves and they it's 39 00:03:34,180 --> 00:03:38,700 almost like a do they say that in english also like a mustache or something like that 40 00:03:38,700 --> 00:03:47,440 so i counted it to nine leaf i think so if we started that it's the same big umbrella family 41 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:54,280 but it's different plants so could you explain a little bit about that hannah the industrial hemp 42 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:00,400 plant or the hemp plant and the mariana plant and how we look different and how we are different. 43 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:07,120 As I understand it, and I strongly must emphasize that I'm not a researcher or an expert, 44 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:15,780 I'm just a hemp enthusiast, but the mariana plant has five great leaves and then the little 45 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:20,900 mustache in the bottom, which makes seven leaves all together on that plant. 46 00:04:20,900 --> 00:04:27,780 that the hemp plant, the industrial hemp, has seven big leaves and two small ones, the mustache. 47 00:04:28,140 --> 00:04:40,838 So that makes it nine leaves So if we are looking for faults my book cover for example is not the industrial hemp plant it actually another plant illegal and the same 48 00:04:40,838 --> 00:04:44,018 illegal in some areas 49 00:04:44,018 --> 00:04:45,998 and illegal in some other areas 50 00:04:45,998 --> 00:04:47,998 but the focus on this podcast is 51 00:04:47,998 --> 00:04:50,838 hi-fi for hemp or industrial hemp 52 00:04:50,838 --> 00:04:52,718 but it's funny also that my 53 00:04:52,718 --> 00:04:54,638 co-host Adam Tinkoff have done 54 00:04:54,638 --> 00:04:56,578 the one with seven also 55 00:04:56,578 --> 00:04:58,318 and it could be that it's easy 56 00:04:58,318 --> 00:04:59,258 to do 57 00:04:59,258 --> 00:05:01,898 and it's easy to get in the artwork 58 00:05:01,898 --> 00:05:03,598 or on a book cover 59 00:05:03,598 --> 00:05:05,898 and maybe when you do a search 60 00:05:05,898 --> 00:05:07,738 online maybe that's what 61 00:05:07,738 --> 00:05:08,598 pops up 62 00:05:08,598 --> 00:05:11,278 and I could, to joke with that 63 00:05:11,278 --> 00:05:13,318 I have an interest in tea 64 00:05:13,318 --> 00:05:15,138 and on my business card 65 00:05:15,138 --> 00:05:17,298 and on my tea site 66 00:05:17,298 --> 00:05:19,058 teapotty.media 67 00:05:19,058 --> 00:05:21,758 it's a creator called John Cox 68 00:05:21,758 --> 00:05:23,378 he's a cartoonist and 69 00:05:23,378 --> 00:05:24,498 a fine artist 70 00:05:24,498 --> 00:05:27,458 and he had done this creative 71 00:05:27,458 --> 00:05:28,398 thing and 72 00:05:28,398 --> 00:05:31,558 designed a tea leaf 73 00:05:31,558 --> 00:05:33,538 and then I got reflections 74 00:05:33,538 --> 00:05:35,278 and comments, is that 75 00:05:35,278 --> 00:05:37,438 what I think it is? And I say 76 00:05:37,438 --> 00:05:39,498 it's a tea leaf, what did you think 77 00:05:39,498 --> 00:05:41,518 it was? So it's interesting how you 78 00:05:41,518 --> 00:05:43,378 get, you could get an 79 00:05:43,378 --> 00:05:45,538 idea or an image of 80 00:05:45,538 --> 00:05:47,318 another thing 81 00:05:47,318 --> 00:05:49,358 so thanks for that explanation 82 00:05:49,358 --> 00:05:51,338 and the next step then 83 00:05:51,338 --> 00:05:53,218 it's the same big umbrella 84 00:05:53,218 --> 00:05:55,438 family but different types 85 00:05:55,438 --> 00:05:57,438 so what's the main difference between 86 00:05:57,438 --> 00:05:59,998 the industrial hemp and mariana? 87 00:06:00,338 --> 00:06:05,498 Well, the hemp plant is actually called industrial hemp 88 00:06:05,498 --> 00:06:08,238 and has many industrial uses. 89 00:06:08,978 --> 00:06:11,878 The mariana plant, in which I am no expert, 90 00:06:12,418 --> 00:06:14,298 it gets you high, period. 91 00:06:15,278 --> 00:06:18,838 I'm not familiar with anything else it does. 92 00:06:18,838 --> 00:06:24,638 So the major use of that plant is to get intoxicated, 93 00:06:24,638 --> 00:06:29,198 Whereas industrial hemp might be like the savior of the planet. 94 00:06:29,838 --> 00:06:33,198 The plant itself, it has over 50,000 uses. 95 00:06:34,178 --> 00:06:36,518 It's just for industrial uses. 96 00:06:36,778 --> 00:06:39,038 We touched upon this last time. 97 00:06:40,038 --> 00:06:46,738 You can make batteries out of hemp, cosmetics, beauty products, textiles. 98 00:06:47,278 --> 00:06:52,138 It turns out that the bee population actually is attracted to the hemp plant 99 00:06:52,138 --> 00:06:57,278 and could very well be the savior of the bee population. 100 00:06:58,358 --> 00:07:04,458 And as it has less than 0.3% of the THC, 101 00:07:04,838 --> 00:07:07,238 which is the cannabinoid that makes you high, 102 00:07:07,958 --> 00:07:13,878 a Mariana plant, the amounts of THC could reach almost 30%. 103 00:07:13,878 --> 00:07:16,778 Okay, that's great. 104 00:07:16,778 --> 00:07:19,178 You are so good at summarizing this. 105 00:07:19,178 --> 00:07:22,958 and directly I have more follow-up questions and thoughts. 106 00:07:23,658 --> 00:07:26,538 So this we will do, and we have done it in the past myself 107 00:07:26,538 --> 00:07:29,538 and also together with co-host Adam Tinkoff 108 00:07:29,538 --> 00:07:32,878 about applications and different ways of using it 109 00:07:32,878 --> 00:07:37,178 in industrial ways and for consumers and so on. 110 00:07:37,298 --> 00:07:41,878 So we will take that and also we will follow along with your book. 111 00:07:42,658 --> 00:07:46,898 So when you mention that with THC, the product, 112 00:07:46,898 --> 00:07:49,458 and we'll do a little bit about that 113 00:07:49,458 --> 00:07:52,118 and then we'll talk more about it in a separate episode 114 00:07:52,118 --> 00:07:55,038 and compare different maybe brands 115 00:07:55,038 --> 00:07:58,538 and different types of industrial hemp products. 116 00:07:59,438 --> 00:08:02,998 But could you say about the product that you are using 117 00:08:02,998 --> 00:08:06,938 and myself included and also included the show notes 118 00:08:06,938 --> 00:08:10,198 and the link, my referral link in the previous episode 119 00:08:10,198 --> 00:08:12,178 and I will do that today. 120 00:08:12,318 --> 00:08:15,038 So now you have found this Koka Vida. 121 00:08:15,038 --> 00:08:18,318 Because I like the name Koka, Vida. 122 00:08:18,458 --> 00:08:24,718 Vida is life and Koka is, what was that, Hawaiian name for something? 123 00:08:25,818 --> 00:08:31,278 Yeah, Okua means sustain, to sustain in Hawaiian. 124 00:08:32,698 --> 00:08:34,858 And Vida is Latin for life. 125 00:08:35,218 --> 00:08:38,618 So sustain life is what the company actually means. 126 00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:45,698 Yes, it's a company that I got in contact with as it started. 127 00:08:46,338 --> 00:08:51,858 And their logo is Purpose Before Profit, which resonates with me. 128 00:08:52,858 --> 00:09:02,878 They are really, really committed to living with nature and having natural products. 129 00:09:02,878 --> 00:09:21,276 They have created an oil that is biologically bio grown It Colorado which for those who don know Colorado has really strong laws against pesticides herbicides mold etc 130 00:09:21,516 --> 00:09:27,636 So if you have an oil that is made in Colorado, that is a quality stamp in itself. 131 00:09:27,636 --> 00:09:29,476 And of course, this one is. 132 00:09:30,276 --> 00:09:31,756 And it's a doctor's brand. 133 00:09:31,756 --> 00:09:45,676 So they are really committed to bringing forth a product that has high quality without skipping steps that makes it less natural. 134 00:09:46,856 --> 00:09:49,456 And they talk about going back to nature. 135 00:09:50,516 --> 00:09:53,956 And what I love is that they are so personal and that resonates with me. 136 00:09:54,116 --> 00:09:57,236 They are genuinely good people. 137 00:09:58,036 --> 00:09:59,836 The founders of the company. 138 00:10:00,496 --> 00:10:05,336 They talk about the Coquavida family, and they do take care of you as if they were a family. 139 00:10:05,336 --> 00:10:20,016 They have a great product, and they try helping local businesses by buying their stock, which is, you know, I'm a small Swedish business entrepreneur, and it's really difficult sometimes to make ends meet. 140 00:10:20,736 --> 00:10:21,896 And that's what they do over there. 141 00:10:22,116 --> 00:10:26,276 Most of all, the product itself, it's got a great hemp plant. 142 00:10:26,276 --> 00:10:33,676 They got a COA, the Certificate of Analysis, that covers it all. 143 00:10:34,236 --> 00:10:35,896 So I can trust the product. 144 00:10:36,496 --> 00:10:46,456 And the best part is that they claim that you need 200 milligrams of cannabinoids each day to ignite your endocannabinoid system. 145 00:10:47,776 --> 00:10:54,016 And, well, CBD, cannabinoids, the oils are usually very expensive. 146 00:10:54,016 --> 00:10:57,836 so what they've done is they've created the BOGO deal forever 147 00:10:57,836 --> 00:11:00,036 so buy one get one 148 00:11:00,036 --> 00:11:03,236 that means that you buy one bottle you get the other one for free 149 00:11:03,236 --> 00:11:07,236 so that you can afford to ignite your own endocannabinoid system 150 00:11:07,236 --> 00:11:08,416 and that's great 151 00:11:08,416 --> 00:11:11,416 that's why I chose them, they are lovely 152 00:11:11,416 --> 00:11:14,856 and we will then have probably an episode of that also 153 00:11:14,856 --> 00:11:18,796 how you, as I have a podcast together with a host about tea 154 00:11:18,796 --> 00:11:20,836 and we talk about tea economy 155 00:11:20,836 --> 00:11:28,096 so for example when you have a great tea like for example o long or something like that and you could 156 00:11:28,096 --> 00:11:36,156 do several steepings of that the cost for every tea cup is very affordable and you get a great 157 00:11:36,156 --> 00:11:44,196 value for the price so we'll come come back to that what content of the product so thanks for 158 00:11:44,196 --> 00:11:50,776 explaining that in a good way and again to the listener out there what's your favorite product 159 00:11:50,776 --> 00:11:58,596 brand and how the different ways of using industrial hemp we talk now about the oil the 160 00:11:58,596 --> 00:12:06,256 hemp oil that you use what do you say that in english um it's like in in the bottle you you 161 00:12:06,256 --> 00:12:13,816 you press on the top and then you get drops drop by drop oh like yeah yeah so 162 00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:16,856 and you could do it in different ways. 163 00:12:17,156 --> 00:12:18,316 So we'll talk more. 164 00:12:20,336 --> 00:12:22,376 Yeah, sorry, Marcia, I interrupted you. 165 00:12:22,796 --> 00:12:29,056 That's a good thing to emphasize that I resonate a lot with this oil. 166 00:12:29,276 --> 00:12:32,336 They have a fantastic production method too, 167 00:12:32,876 --> 00:12:36,116 which makes like almost 99% of the plant, 168 00:12:36,116 --> 00:12:39,436 you know, the components remain, 169 00:12:39,776 --> 00:12:43,456 and it's easy to remove the THC if needed. 170 00:12:43,816 --> 00:12:45,036 And it is needed in Sweden. 171 00:12:45,716 --> 00:12:47,896 But then again, everybody is different. 172 00:12:48,116 --> 00:12:53,516 And if you find an oil you like, make sure it's legal, that it's not contaminated, 173 00:12:53,916 --> 00:12:57,556 and that it actually contains what it says on the label. 174 00:12:57,876 --> 00:13:00,196 And if that resonates with you, that's great. 175 00:13:00,996 --> 00:13:04,736 I'm not saying that, well, I am saying that this is the best oil, but that's for me. 176 00:13:05,036 --> 00:13:05,816 Everybody's different. 177 00:13:06,056 --> 00:13:07,716 So just do your research. 178 00:13:07,716 --> 00:13:08,196 Great. 179 00:13:08,196 --> 00:13:21,396 And that's why, you know, when you wrote the book, the idea behind it to find how you source and how do you find and what's out there and what's what, what's CBD and what's hemp and etc. 180 00:13:21,636 --> 00:13:23,636 So we'll come back to that. 181 00:13:23,736 --> 00:13:25,516 So thanks very much for that, Hannah. 182 00:13:25,956 --> 00:13:35,936 And I could say for the record, and

00:14:08,594 I know one of co-founders, Tibor, we're going back way, a long way back. 188 00:14:08,974 --> 00:14:10,854 So I know him for a long time. 189 00:14:10,854 --> 00:14:16,134 So it was interesting to meet him again and see what he's doing. 190 00:14:16,614 --> 00:14:24,474 So that's a nice way of doing it, to get in touch and contact with the co-founder of the company. 191 00:14:24,854 --> 00:14:28,834 So you could trust them and you could talk directly to them. 192 00:14:29,214 --> 00:14:35,434 And again, I want the listeners, because that's why we're speaking in Swedish, 193 00:14:35,434 --> 00:14:37,254 Swedish talking in English 194 00:14:37,254 --> 00:14:39,014 thinking in Swedish sometimes 195 00:14:39,014 --> 00:14:41,474 so because 196 00:14:41,474 --> 00:14:42,974 it's an international thing and 197 00:14:42,974 --> 00:14:45,494 the main market I think 198 00:14:45,494 --> 00:14:47,194 is North America but 199 00:14:47,194 --> 00:14:49,254 it's available for us here in Europe 200 00:14:49,254 --> 00:14:50,814 also so that's great 201 00:14:50,814 --> 00:14:53,574 so anything else you want to say as a 202 00:14:53,574 --> 00:14:55,294 wrap up, round up and 203 00:14:55,294 --> 00:14:57,594 any thoughts 204 00:14:57,594 --> 00:14:58,594 for the future Hannah? 205 00:14:59,114 --> 00:15:01,634 The thing to remember that when it comes to 206 00:15:01,634 --> 00:15:04,054 CBD and the other cannabinoids 207 00:15:04,054 --> 00:15:05,154 the 208 00:15:05,154 --> 00:15:10,854 The answer to why they are so important is the endocannabinoid system. 209 00:15:11,494 --> 00:15:16,554 And that's like our biggest system in the body, and it strives for balance. 210 00:15:17,114 --> 00:15:23,054 And when we are balanced, we have a possibility to heal and feel good about ourselves. 211 00:15:23,054 --> 00:15:36,714 So this balance or homeostasis, as it's called, can actually be induced, so to speak, by using a broad spectrum or a full spectrum hemp oil, depending on where you live. 212 00:15:37,234 --> 00:15:50,494 And just to wrap that up, I talked to Tibor the other day and he told me this magical story about he was at a doctor's fair talking about the CBD oil or the broad spectrum and the full spectrum. 213 00:15:50,494 --> 00:15:54,414 And they have a PM-AM routine that is really exciting over in America. 214 00:15:55,154 --> 00:15:59,534 And this man came who had a neurological injury. 215 00:15:59,534 --> 00:16:08,734 So he went from stall to stall in this huge fair, along with this doctor, in order to try and find some relief. 216 00:16:08,814 --> 00:16:12,854 Because he had spasms from an accident several years back. 217 00:16:13,034 --> 00:16:16,394 And they were like epileptical spasms, but he didn't have epilepsy. 218 00:16:16,394 --> 00:16:24,054 and somebody called out to Tibor said come over here this is something you need to you need to 219 00:16:24,054 --> 00:16:31,554 talk to this man so he brought the CBD oil gave him three droppers and within 15 seconds the man 220 00:16:31,554 --> 00:16:37,514 was was like in relief after a few minutes he stood up and everybody everybody around was crying 221 00:16:37,514 --> 00:16:42,534 there was such a difference between those constant spasms and then the relief that the man 222 00:16:42,534 --> 00:16:47,134 actually obtained by just balancing his endocannabinoid system. 223 00:16:47,654 --> 00:16:54,074 There are so many magical, fantastic stories about what happens in your body 224 00:16:54,074 --> 00:16:56,914 when you do balance this system. 225 00:16:57,534 --> 00:17:05,134 Though it's not always a 15-second relief, but it could be. 226 00:17:05,134 --> 00:17:10,394 So in order for you to feel balanced, working with your endocannabinoid system 227 00:17:10,394 --> 00:17:11,954 is of utmost importance. 228 00:17:12,534 --> 00:17:40,854 That's great. Perfect segue for the next episode, Hanna. So you are really good at this. And again, for the record, it's a personal thing. So we will have that so-called fine print. And you said that in a good way, Hanna. So you could say that again, that this is our personal stories and testimonials. And you have to test it yourself if you listen to this. So you could end with that. 229 00:17:40,854 --> 00:17:45,314 This is not to replace any medical advice. 230 00:17:45,454 --> 00:17:51,154 We are not doctors, so stick to your doctor's tip and advice. 231 00:17:51,494 --> 00:17:54,974 This is just an informal chat between two hemp enthusiasts 232 00:17:54,974 --> 00:17:57,034 and should not be taking as medical advice. 233 00:17:57,774 --> 00:17:59,854 Great, Hanna. Thanks for that. 234 00:17:59,994 --> 00:18:02,494 And thanks for this chat and conversation. 235 00:18:02,894 --> 00:18:04,114 And talk to you soon again. 236 00:18:04,334 --> 00:18:05,034 Talk to you soon, Martin. 237 00:18:05,034 --> 00:18:05,454 Bye for now. 238 00:18:05,754 --> 00:18:06,134 Bye-bye. 239 00:18:10,854 --> 00:18:17,854 Thank you.
