Despite these bad actors, many companies are striving to do better and even set higher standards for the industry. For instance, Vantage Hemp Co. has made it their mission to go beyond current state requirements and produce pharmaceutical-grade CBD. Here, Deepank Utkhede, Chief Operating Officer at Vantage Hemp Co., discusses his role with the company and their goals to elevate this market to create a safe place for consumers and manufacturers.

In this interview, Emma Davis, founder of Mikko’s Choice, delves into how some cannabinoids—such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), cannabinol (CBN), and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)—have provided medicinal benefits to horses. Davis also discusses her mustang, Mikko, who inspired her to launch her own cannabis and hemp product brand.
