NOCO HEMPO EXPO friends, thank you. After more than a decade of rolling sleeves and upbringing roofs, I can say with a smile What a long, strange trip was. We built something together that had a meaning. And we didn’t finish. I drop, process, rethink and press further. Serve seven times, stand up eight.

Clear Notes on Thanksgiving and Closing: Nooco Hempe Expo took its last bow. NoCo11 in April 2025 was the last. We took it up to 11, we have been #onelouder for ten years … and even a powerful spine would be proud. Thank you for doing it legendary.

I always believed The show should go on. Even if the way became steep we knew This is a long way to the top when you want to jump and runAnd the map resembled contemporary art than directions, but we continued to go. Why? Because The wheel in the sky continues to turn. As Thats coming the sun. Because when it gets amazing Such are the times you learn to live again.

So thank you to everyone who appeared, spoke and lifted. Your support was a choir for work. Life – it’s a long song. When the door squealed, we decided break through the other side. If the doubts tried the crowd on stage we decided Keep the line. When the wind has shifted, we drove The wind of change.

This is me, promising you that I am still in the fight. I fight a good fight. I will not retreatI will Take it to the border. I will Continue to fight until the end. Name this stubborn or call it a goal but the mission remains as The song remains the same. Nooco gave us 11 incredible years and I am grateful for every moment. Now the work goes into a new section: Hemp 3.0. No retreat, baby, without surrender. Hemp 3.0 unfoldsBioeclamics go back and we will shines with light In the future. We again do not cheat.

The next section begins now. Here right now. We will Rotate. come together. rise up And build smarter, stronger, thin. There are lessons in miles, and there is also joy. Dream as long as your dreams come true. And if the way tilts, we will Spiral, keep going. We will catch a rainbow and Take power back.

For all who have poured time, talent and heart into this journey, please hear it clearly. Will be the answer, let it be. We will Continue on Rockin ‘in the free world. We will let it rolls. We will find Light in black. Some days will feel living on the edge. But together we can still Keep pushing.

If you are tired, Just breathe. Don’t look back. If you are shot, okay. Get up and scream! If you are on the fence, Come as you are. There is a place for builders, manufacturers, manufacturers and believers. We may not get All we want. But we will create what we need. We will do this over the mountain. And we will Again flies high. As Ozi said, it’s best.

Cannabis have always been bigger than one country, one company, one show or one person. It is a community and a promise. Hold your head up. Never give up. Never say die. If the calendar flips and the dust, we will still be here by moving the bales by planting the next field, setting the next stage in honor of one true mother, Mother Earth.

So thank you for the first ten plus years. Thank you for your support, calls, email, brainstorming late night and morning downloads. Thank you for thinking that best is possible. The compass is installed, the amplifiers are warm, the lights go.

With great gratitude, we close the NOCO section and enter the Hemp 3.0.

Time to Light the sky and get Back in the saddle. And, again, A new day will be the dawn for those who are long and forests will be played out of laughter.

I have collected the playlist Spotify to go along with this Thanks to the NOCO Community EssayBuilt from the lyrics and names the songs I threw throughout. It should not flow as the perfect mix -and some songs do not actually correspond to the deeper meaning of the work … Sometimes it’s just a lyrical or title that fits the moment. Think about it as a soundtrack sewn along with all the little links, a mixture that notes music behind the message. Of course, there are many wonderful tunes here, enjoy!

Mention of companies and other enterprises in news and questions as not means approval Let’s talk with hemp Either any business relationship.

Since Congress considers amendments that can re -stifle the US Cannaple, including the deeply underved language of Miller’s amendment, it’s time to reconsider how we regulate this transformation crop. Cannabis in all its forms deserves a rational, scientifically reasonable regulation. No more ban. Because the ban does not work. It never happens.

The ban on imposing progress on fire

The 2018 Farm Bill was a historical step forward, introducing hemp as a legal crop in the US after decades a meaningless ban. For the first time in generations, American farmers could grow a crop that is useful for soil, economics and planets. But during these years, the federal inaction and confusion of regulation, especially around cannabinoids, left the industry in the suspended state.

Now, with such proposals, such as the re -introduction of the Miller amendment, we are seeing an attempt to rolling progress, disguised as a public safety measure. Let’s be clear: the ban on the sofa derived from hemp does not eliminate demand. It will simply lead to the market underground, create public safety risks and punish legitimate enterprises trying to follow the rules.

Words Material: Let’s correctly accept the terminology

Time we remove the language. Industrial hemp put specifically on varieties of fiber and grain plants hemp, Used for textiles, paper, building materials, bioplasty, protein, animal feed and much more. These use do not have drunk potential and do not pose a threat to health and security.

On the other hand cannabinoid cannabis, also mentioned as floral hemp or drunk hemp, Includes CBD, CBG, full spectrum extracts and various hemp connections such as Delta-8 THC. These products require a completely different normative base.

The decrease in all these different applications within the term “industrial hemp” mislead and counterproductive. Accuracy matters both in the law and in the language. If we want responsible regulation, we must first determine what we regulate.

Bifurcation – this is a decision

The hemp plant is clearly diverse, and it should be regulated accordingly. That’s why we need Bifurcation, the exact separation of the regulatory tract between Industrial hemp (fiber and grain) and cannabinoid/flower hemp.

Industrial hemp It is necessary to treat other agricultural goods such as flax, cotton or wheat. Farmers growing for fiber and grain should not be hampered by Thc testing or subjected to unnecessary supervision. Let them grow, collect and make innovations, as with any other crop.

Unlike this Cannabinoid productsEspecially those intended for human consumption should be regulated within the existing nutritional supplements or adult frames. CBD, CBG and Full Spectrum products must be made in CGMP certified objects. clearly marked. Checked for safetyAnd be able to sit on retail shelves near other botanists and supplements such as Ashwandha, milk thistle and curcumin. Products with drunk effects should be regulated as a recreational cannabis or alcohol: Adult access only, without marketing minors, accurate marking and complete transparency.

It’s not about deregulation. It’s about Smart, structured adjustment This protects consumers, allowing responsible innovations and trade.

Let the plant – and industry – do what you need to do

Hemp is not just another crop. It is climatic, creating work, consistent carbon, power plant regulated in the soil. But its potential will remain unfulfilled as long as the ban on the prohibition is dominated by politics.

Congress should support it, not a handcuff with an intermediate handcuff that will support it, fair and founded in science. This means recognizing the differences in hemp, accordingly adjusting and trusting farmers and businesses to do what they best.

Stop censorship

Another obstacle that slows the hectare sector Permanent digital censorship. On meta platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, and even on professional networks such as LinkedIn, the contents related to cannabis continues to mark, suppressed or removed, even if it concerns legal, non-interested products.

This censorship is unjustified and harmful. Cannabis is a federal legal culture and a legal industry that deserves the same digital freedoms as any other sector. Education, innovation and open dialogue should not be suppressed.

Way forward

If we want cannabis to flourish in the US and bring out IT -ecological benefits, economic development and revival of rural areas, then we must regulate it responsibly. This begins with the correct terminology, forked the regulation and cessation of both the ban and censorship.

Let industrial hemp grow up. Let cannabinoid hemp adjustable with caution. Let people and the plant do what they needed to do.

From the rice forks of Thailand to the canned sun on the Midwest, from the green hills of Europe to the bright markets of South America, quiet movement is growing. For the last decade, he has conducted a global shot of fantasies, moving through temporary belts and cultures with one common thread that manages them: cannabis. Not the stereotype of the stones of the past days, but the universal, ancient crop with the power to feed, dress, walk and heal humanity.

These fans, often landing planes with a little more than a suitcase and mission, talked at politics summits, touring processing institutions, sat in test areas with colored soils and pursued a place with tribal senior and government ministers. Their travels are as much about education and opportunities as it is about navigation into a bureaucratic fog, which still hinders progress in many regions.

They walked through the corridors of parliaments in Europe, explaining the skeptical legislators how the canopie could reduce carbon emissions and how rural economies can be revived through local processing centers. They met with farmers in Kenya and Malawi, showing how cannabis can become resistant to drought alternatives that supports nutrition, textiles, bioplastics and biochar. In the Andes, they worked through conferences in Peru to start introducing industrial hemps in agricultural and economic stakeholders, putting the basis for future trials and partnerships, often in relation to the knowledge about agriculture and the leadership of society.

In the United States and Canada, they fought with confusion and poor regulation, pushing for a clear difference between cannabis applications: one strip for industrial use, both fiber and grain, for cannabinoids and botanical preparations. They cooperate with indigenous leaders and sovereign countries to explore hemp as a tool for economic development and conservation. They watched the promising enterprises are buried under the red tape, but pressed conferences, pilot programs and coalition creation.

In Japan, where hemps once had sacred cultural status, they helped to bring the crop again, combining the tradition with innovation. Thailand, recently liberalized in his cannabis policy, became a focus for experiments and opportunities. These travelers were also there, consultations, connect, catalyze and listen, learn the wisdom of the eternal along the way.

Wherever they go, the same message resonates. Cannabis is not just a plant. This is a tool for a sustainable future. It can feed on its seeds, shelter with its fibers and cure it with extracts. It offers farmers variety and stability. It offers low -impact raw materials to entrepreneurs. And it offers the government the way to achieve environmental goals, strengthening the economy from scratch.

But the path is rarely smooth. There are anchored interests that you need to fight. Cotton, corn and oil have long ruled the supply chains. The regulators often lack knowledge, and misinformation is playing. Investors come and go with hot flashes, and farmers burn out when the promised markets cannot come true. For each victory… A new processing plant is open, the policy improved, the pilot project, which is funded… There is a failure, a lawsuit, a crop that has spun in the field because someone in the office knocked out the wrong box.

However, travelers are stored. Their conviction is deeper than economic modeling or market forecasts. They saw their own eyes that he can make hemp. A family in Colombia pulls itself out of poverty, making hemp textiles. Cooperative in the construction of Ghana made of hemp bricks. Students in Germany launch climate startups around cannabis. Veterans in the United States find targets through agriculture and public events. These stories are fuel for long flights, late evenings reports, endless emails in agencies moving at the ice speed.

And now that the world goes into 2026, the tone changes. Hampal finds the foundation again. The noise is cleared. The focus is more attention. Governments begin to realize that cannabis is not a miracle, but a multifunctional, scalable solution that deserves place at the table, as well as solar panels, electric cars and agro-industrial. Global partnerships are formed, looking outside and in the future. Supply chains covering continents. Exchange of knowledge that expands the possibilities of local leaders. Financial models that include junior and startup.

Perhaps the most important thing is that people start to see that cannabis is not a cure but a catalyst. It cannot correct the impaired food system or climate change. But it can be a key ingredient in the best recipe for humanity.

So travelers continue to go. Bags are packaged. Visas are ready. The hearts hope. They are not missionaries, nor martyrs. These are connectors, teachers and listeners. They believe in the crop, but even more that they believe in the people he unites.

And it can be the greatest power of hemp. Not what makes for soil or horizon, but what it does for the Spirit. It gives us something to grow than to share and hope for. Movement is global and it is just beginning.
