Top 5 Ways to Use Hemp Protein

Hemp protein is a type of plant-based protein. It’s gaining in popularity, but there are still a lot of people who don’t know what it is or what you can use it for. Read this article for the top 5 ways to use hemp protein and learn about some of the benefits!

Top 5 Hemp Protein Uses

Hemp protein is all the rage these days as a go-to supplement for muscle-building, weight loss, and heart health. It’s not all hype, either. Hemp has been used for industrial purposes for centuries and we’re finally starting to understand just how beneficial it can be in a diet. Here are five ways you can use hemp protein:

Hemp Protein Powder

The great thing about hemp is that the protein powder is an excellent source of protein and can help you reach your daily recommended intake. And unlike other protein sources, hemp is naturally cholesterol-free, vegan, and contains no allergens. The best way to use hemp protein powder is by incorporating it into sauces or smoothies.

Buy Hemp Protein 

Hemp Protein Butter

Hemp butter is a great way to get your daily dose of Omega 3 and Omega 6. Hemp butter also contains fiber, which slows the rate at which your stomach empties, meaning you can go longer without feeling hungry. It’s also rich in phytochemicals such as terpenes, chlorophyll, and carotenoids, all of which help protect the body from oxidative stress. Hempseed oil is an excellent source of essential fatty acids that support heart health and brain function. Many people find that hemp butter helps them stay full for long periods of time because it has a low-glycemic index. Hemp butter offers a variety of flavors that make it easier to include in your diet on a regular basis.

Hemp Protein Flour for Cooking

Hemp flour is a type of flour that is made from the hemp seed. It has a light Greyish brown color, and it can be used in place of wheat flour in most recipes. Hemp flour is good for people with celiac disease or other gluten sensitivities, because it does not contain any gluten!

Lactose-Free Hemp Milk

Hemp milk is a popular and delicious alternative to dairy milk. It can be used to make any kind of recipe, including protein shakes, smoothies, hot cereal, ice cream and more. Hemp milk has many nutritional benefits such as omega-3 fatty acids and is high in protein. You’ll also find that hemp milk is gluten-free, lactose-free and vegan – making it great for those with dietary restrictions.

Hemp Hearts (Seeds)

You can mix hemp hearts into smoothies, yogurt, or anything you want to add a healthy kick to. They don’t have much of a taste so they’ll go with just about anything you put them in. Hemp hearts are also super nutritious – they have all nine essential amino acids, which makes them more comparable to animal proteins than most plant proteins.

CBD vs. THC: What’s the Difference?

CBD (cannabidiol) and THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) are two compounds found in the cannabis plant that have distinct properties and effects. THC is the psychoactive component of cannabis, responsible for the "high" sensation, while CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect.

The main difference lies in how they interact with the brain's receptors. THC binds directly with the cannabinoid 1 (CB1) receptors, resulting in euphoria, altered perception, and increased appetite. CBD, on the other hand, has a low affinity for CB1 receptors and does not directly bind with them. Instead, it influences the receptors indirectly, potentially mitigating some of the effects of THC.

Legally, THC is classified as a controlled substance in many countries due to its psychoactive nature. CBD derived from hemp plants containing less than 0.3% THC is legal in several jurisdictions, although laws vary.

In terms of medical benefits, THC is commonly used for pain relief, muscle spasms, and increasing appetite. CBD has shown promise in epilepsy treatment and is being studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties.

When it comes to side effects, THC can cause cognitive impairments, coordination difficulties, increased heart rate, and anxiety. CBD is generally well-tolerated, with few reported side effects.

Understanding the differences between CBD and THC is crucial for individuals considering cannabis use, as it helps in making informed decisions and utilizing the potential benefits of these compounds effectively and safely.

Helena Harland, who runs World of Demri instagram account, has a blog at substack where she is publishing interviews she does to people who knew Demri. I asked for permission to share this entry about Demri's activism in here and she kindly allowed.

From her substack blog:

"Demri possessed a radical nature alongside immense charisma. She was a nudist, openly bisexual, modeled for several adult magazines like Penthouse and Hustler, and was unabashedly sexually liberated at a time where it was seen as taboo. She did not view other people with a critical eye, but rather embraced those who most would find “off-center”. Demri’s late mother Kathleen recalled a memory of driving 20 year-old Demri home one day when she suddenly started shouting “Mom, stop! Stop!” Kathleen stopped the car and Demri jumped out to her friend who had green skin, pointed ears, and pointed elf shoes. Demri said, “This is my friend, he’s an elf. Can we give him a ride?” Kathleen, who likely passed on to Demri her attribute of non-judgment and acceptance, gave the elf a ride as he and Demri squeaked and chirped at each other in their own elf language.

Demri’s uniqueness has always intrigued me, and I often wonder what her moral and political beliefs were, as well as what she would think of today’s political issues. The 90s were marked with many social justice issues like LGBT rights— specifically the AIDS crisis. I asked Amber Ferrano, a close friend of Demri’s what she thought about the AIDS epidemic at the time, and it can be beautifully summed up by this memory:

“Demri was bi. She loved everyone and judged no one. We went to shows in gay clubs and they were awesome. I loved that they handed out free condoms even for our crowd. AIDS was horrible at the time. I remember a few times when guys in full drag (with gloves on, mind you) put their hand out to shake and pulled back saying they had AIDS, but Demri went in for a kiss and a hug. People would make negative comments saying she had AIDS or hepatitis from drugs. She didn't understand why people were so mean. If she were here today she'd be on the frontline along with Layne.”

Demri was also visited in the hospital by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a subversive LGBT activism group that satirized traditional standards and gender roles by combining drag and religious imagery to their street performances. Kathleen said that they adored Demri, and the nurses would gawk at them on their way in.

To seek some more insight on Demri’s activism history, I reached out to Vivian McPeak, the founder of the Seattle activism group called the Peace Heathens, of which Demri was a member. The Peace Heathens were known for their annual Seattle Hempfests, and many Alice in Chains fans have likely seen this video of Layne Staley making an appearance at one in 1994. It is one of the few videos we have of Layne during that year, taken shortly after the release of Jar of Flies.

H: myself, V: Vivian

H: I was wondering what the core beliefs of the Peace Heathens are and how the organization  was conceived?

V: In 1988 I had this idea to start a street-level volunteer group composed of alternative culture folks to do good things in the name of the alt-culture, community service projects and benefit shows for righteous causes that got little support from the mainstream. I called it the Seattle Peace Heathens. I created this manifesto, and Yossarrian “Rex” Kelley did a logo graphic I put at the top of it. I plastered the paper fliers all over The Ave, at places like the Allegro Cafe, Espresso Roma, and The Last Exit. I started getting lots of calls from people excited about my crazy vision quest, wanting to learn more and get involved. We started having meetings in people’s homes that eventually got too large, and we moved them to Ravenna Park, where we turned them into potluck feeds that started attracting a homeless contingent. 

Meetings started attracting as many as 70 people, mostly music culture and street culture folks - hippies, punk rockers, and an eclectic mix of just progressive, activism-type people. The thing that struck me most, though, is I would be approached by some very neat and clean folks who came on really strong, talking about how resourceful they were and how they were going to contribute all these things. I became very excited about these folks and what they might bring to the group. Then there was an entirely different contingent of absolute street people. These folks were often disheveled, unkempt; they might even have a distinct odor about them. At first, I was not sure what to think about these people, and I placed much of my focus on the other group of folks who seemed to have their shit really together.

The core values of the Seattle Peace Heathens were a commitment to service to society and others through volunteerism, basic counter-culture values of peace and love, Left politics such as social and environmental justice, and a commitment to the power of change through art (visual and music).

H: -It was said that Demri Parrott was a member of the Peace Heathens, do you have memories of her attending meetings or the Hempfests?

V: [I was closer with Layne, so I’ll tell the story of us meeting first.] I was at a hard rock club called the Prime Rib Palace in Totem Lakes, Washington and I struck up a conversation with a blonde dude with long hair and silver pants. We hit it off. He learned I was fresh from Hollywood and wanted to know all about the club scene there. He said his name was Layne, and he had a band called Sleze that was being renamed Alice in Chains. He gave me his number. He was the first person I developed a friendship after I moved to Washington State. A few years later, he invited me to his apartment in a big old brick complex above Eastlake. I met his lady Demri, a petite girl with a beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. I didn't know where to buy weed, and they told me I could get my weed from them. I am not really sure if they were dealing weed or if they were just helping me out, but they always had an eighth when I needed to buy one.

Around 1988 Layne had developed a heroin problem, and I had a cocaine one. I would pick Layne up and drive us to TUNA (Tuesday Night N.A.) at the Rendezvous on 2nd in Belltown, where a guy named Will ran the Narcotics Anonymous meetings. It was pretty much the rocker NA for the area. Unlike his rock persona, Layne was a quiet, almost shy person. He was sensitive and kind,in my experience. It was stunning watching the band climb to rock stardom. I loved their music and was impressed with the strength and power of his voice.

Demri was a bubbly, outgoing person. She volunteered for the Peace Heathens and helped at several of the benefit shows we produced at the famed OK Hotel, one of the only venues with all-age shows. She helped put up posters promoting the shows around town, and at the shows, she worked the merch table and helped us load gear in and out, even though she was a very diminutive person. She was sweet and kind and fearless. She resonated with the Peace Heathens's core belief that all of the various cultural sub-genres of the music/youth/alt-culture (punk, metal, hippie, Reggae, etc.) shared a common spirit and was essentially responding to the same mainstream desire for conformity and control. She believed in the benevolent act of helping others, which was central to the Peace Heathen identity.

I hope this provided some insight on the free spirited nature of Demri, and the ways in which she provided to her community and led with love and compassion. Big thanks to Vivian for taking the time to speak with me and tell me of all his cool stories, and to MemoriesOfDemri on instagram who pointed out the Peace Heathens sticker on Demri’s suitcase as well as provided the information regarding the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Thank you for reading!

How April 20 Became Global Weed Day

It’s ALWAYS 420 Somewhere

- April 20, 2016 -

For years, people have speculated about the true meaning of 420. Some popular myths about the origins of 420 include that the number is the police code for marijuana or that it’s the number of chemical compounds found in weed, however, 420 thankfully has much more innocent and good-natured origins than anything having to do with all of that.

Five San Rafael High School friends in San Rafael, Calif. collectively called the Waldos probably started the 420 tradition, according to the Huffington Post’s seminal story on the history of 420. The code first came about in the fall of 1971 because the Waldos planned to meet at a statue of Louis Pasteur at the school at 4:20 before they went on an expedition to score some free weed from a plot of marijuana plants abandoned by a Coast Guard service member.

Monday's temperature check (procès-verbaux of 4-8)

Now that it’s baseball season, I will break baseball fans into two camps.  Those that love the Yankees and those that hate them.  I’ll leave it to you to divine my camp by the following words.  A 4.8 magnitude earthquake shook New York City on Friday as the Yankees went through batting practice before their home opener.  A solar eclipse is forecast to take place Monday afternoon, with parts of upstate New York being in its path of totality, the Yankees will play after this other phenomenon.  Coincidence?  People Magazine’s resident astrologer, Kyle Thomas, prognosticated that this phenomenon “is all about Uranus in Taurus" — which he also says is "building to the big, ferocious beast that's coming around April 20."  Those in the “love the Yankees” camp will undoubtedly know that on 4/20, the Yankees will host the Tampa Bay Rays.  What else, Tom?  In addition to a meaningless early season game, the Jupiter-Uranus conjunction stars on April 20. These planets conjunct approximately once every 14 years.  If two planets are very close together, or even in the same place in the sky, their energies will merge, and we will likely feel effects as a result a conjunction.  This is a little like a The Bachelor and America’s Got Talent cross-over episode – very rare, but very powerful!  Jupiter, the planet of luck, will unite with Uranus, the planet of surprises, on April 20 in the fields of Taurus. "This could bring shocking twists of fate, major breakthroughs or breakdowns or wild events to our doorstep," Thomas says. Does this mean that the fourth-place Rays could pull out a series win?  Maybe.  Perhaps 420 portends the return of the Seatle Hempfest for the first time since 2020.  With Mariner fans eying the antics of this year’s Hempfest, it gives the Yankees an opportunity to poach some players.  Is this an astrology sign of Armageddon?  Personally, I predict unnoticeable change, run-of-the-mill love, and middling happiness.  The Yankees will definitely finish within the top-five of the AL East. 

If you’re looking for a more short-term horoscope, here’s Kyle’s for this week: Weekly Horoscope: April 7-April 13, The Great American Eclipse (people.com)
