Should You Use Hemp Products? Several factors have boosted the popularity and acceptance of hemp products in different parts of the globe. It has even turned into a multibillion-dollar industry, but one interesting question remains on the lips of many: should you use hemp products?

Well, the answer to this question is yes. But there are a few instances in which using hemp products will not be advisable for you.

All these instances will be discussed in this article. A Major Variety To Choose From

Hemp seed products are numerous, and they include hemp oil, hemp fiber, hemp juice, hemp milk, hemp protein, and many others. Hemp seed oil is probably the most popular of them, so the focus will be on it as a representative example of the hemp products discussed here in this piece.

For each hemp product in use, there are various benefits and advantages for you as the user. A good example here is hemp seed oil, which is also known as hemp oil. It is derived from hemp seeds, and the oil itself is usually raw. It is transparent green oil known for its refreshing and nutty flavor.

Now, please note that it is not the same as cannabidiol oil (CBD), which is derived from the cannabis plant. Hemp oil is derived from the hemp seed and has no tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive component.

So, you will not be getting a high from hemp products. That's a common misconception which has now been cleared.

Benefits of Using Hemp Seed Oil

Some applications and benefits come with a hemp product like hemp seed oil. One of these is that it is used for the improvement of skin health. It has many nourishing properties for the skin, and this is because of the natural moisturizers and vitamins that it contains. Those who apply hemp oil for improving their skin quality can take it topically or decide to consume it.

Taking a hemp product like hemp oil works wonders on your skin. It is ideal for practically all skin types, and this is because it can do moisturizing your skin without blocking the skin pores. It can also assist in balancing out your oily skin, hydrating the skin while also regulating the production of oil from the skin.

When the skin is too dry, it can be stimulated to produce excess oil to compensate for the dryness, but this only ends up causing more acne. Hemp oil is good in this regard as it helps in the prevention of dry skin without causing any clogging of the pores. This decreases the acne that was caused by the additional oil in the first place.

When You Should Not Use Hemp Products

As hinted earlier, hemp products are generally good, and most people can use them without any problems, but there are some other instances where they are not advisable for you. Some people develop irritation when they apply hemp products topically. We recommend you first apply the hemp oil to a tiny patch of the skin and watch for any reaction. If the reaction is one that you cannot cope with, you cannot use hemp products.

Some people have also reported that oral consumption of a hemp product like the oil can cause negative effects like digestion problems. Now, it all depends on the quality of the product. If you are buying it from a genuine brand, then there are no side effects.

Hemp products can also interfere with blood thinners, so you should discuss them with your doctor before using them.

Concluding Thoughts

Hemp products are generally good and safe, and most people use them without any problems. However, there are few conditions where you should not use hemp products because of the reactions or how they interfere with certain medications like blood thinners.

If you have a severe skin condition, test the product on your skin before applying it generously. Read the reviews of the brand's products before purchasing them, and rule out any major skin condition.

Other than these exceptions, hemp benefits are apparent. Anyone with a medical condition should discuss it with the physician first before using hemp products.

on peut se demander si la littérature (+cinéma etc.) ne se dédouane pas de sa responsabilité vis-à-vis de ses effets sur l’imaginaire collectif – une question qui mérite assurément d’être réinvestie à l’ère des fake news – puisqu’elle façonne en partie la représentation que le public se fait sur un sujet.

on reprochera par exemple aux films historiques (mettant en scène un musicien dont les gestes ne correspondent pas à ce qui est joué, une athlète de haut niveau qui reproduit pauvrement la technique de course, un film d’époque avec des écriteaux dans une police de caractères inventée en 2000…) de véhiculer des absurdités collatérales à leur réalisation mal informée.

This difference is one of the things I miss about reading a particular newspaper and experiencing the outlet's particular curation of their own stories.Perhaps I should spend more time looking at the "front page" of various news sites.

These numbers are insane!

I'm curious to know which sources in particular they're using on these platforms. Snapchat was growing news sources a year ago, but I've heard those sources are declining. What is the general quality of these sources?

For example, getting news from television can range from PBS News Hour and cable news networks (more traditional sources) to comedy shows like Stephen Colbert and The Daily Show with Trevor Noah which have some underlying news in the comedy, but are far from traditional sources.

Heavy hit in light of the Facebook data scandal this week on top of accusations about fake news spreading.

One might think that Facebook could easily analyze the things within their network that are getting above average reach and filter out or tamp down the network effects of the most damaging things which in the long run I suspect are going to damage their network overall.

I think that a major part of improving the issue of abuse and providing consent is building in notifications so that website owners will at least be aware that their site is being marked up, highlighted, annotated, and commented on in other locations or by other platforms. Then the site owner at least has the knowledge of what's happening and can then be potentially provided with information and tools to allow/disallow such interactions, particularly if they can block individual bad actors, but still support positive additions, thought, and communication. Ideally this blocking wouldn't occur site wide, which many may be tempted to do now as a knee-jerk reaction to recent events, but would be fine grained enough to filter out the worst offenders.

Toward the end of notifications to site owners, it would be great if any annotating activity would trigger trackbacks, pingbacks, or the relatively newer and better webmention protocol of the WW3C out of the http://IndieWebCamp.com movement. Then site owners would at least have notifications about what is happening on their site that might otherwise be invisible to them.

Perhaps there's a way to further implement filters or tools (a la Akismet on platforms like WordPress) that allow site users to mark materials as spam, abusive, or other so that they are then potentially moved from "public" facing to "private" so that the original highlighter can still see their notes, but that the platform isn't allowing the person's own website to act as a platform to give reach to bad actors.

Further some site owners might appreciate graded filters (G, PG, PG-13, R, X) so that users or even parents can filter what they're willing to see. Consider also annotations on narrative forms that might be posted as spoilers--how can these be guarded against? (Possibly with CSS and a spoiler tag?) Options can be built into the platform itself as well as allowing server-side options for truly hard cases.

My coding skills are rustier than I wish they were, but I'm available to help/consult if needed.

I’ve spent some time thinking about this type of blocking in the past and written about a potential solution. Kevin Marks had created a script to help prevent this type of abuse as well; his solution and some additional variants are freely available. — {cja}
