Concentrated Powdered Hemp Oil Could be “Game Changer” for Manufacturers

Hemp Synergistics LLC (https://hempsynergistics.com) has released a highly concentrated powdered hemp oil called Bio-Dri, which is specifically formulated with all-natural to give supplement manufacturers the ability to produce cannabinoid formulations across multiple delivery formats, including tablets, capsules, and edibles. 

 

According to the Pittsburgh-based firm, Bio-Dri is five times the concentration of current hemp oil powders, which allows for combination with other ingredients. 

 

“This product is a game changer for the manufacturing industry,” said Ron Fazio, chief operations officer of Hemp Synergistics, in a press release. “Before, manufacturers were limited by either working with difficult hemp oil or highly diluted nano-emulsified powder. Not only is Bio-Dri easy to work with, it requires 90 percent less material to achieve the same cannabinoid dose and will be a huge benefit in product development and manufacturing.” 

 

According to the firm, compared to nano-encapsulated technology that requires at least 80% of capsule volume to achieve a minimum dose of cannabidiol (CBD), Bio-Dri uses less than 8% of capsule volume to achieve the desired dosage of CBD. “Our patent pending manufacturing process not only delivers superior absorption capabilities, but also freedom to flex your formulating muscles,” said Mark Mangieri, Hemp Synergistics’ director of product development, in a press release. “Bio-Dri micro-encapsulates and protects the cannabinoids from stomach acids, improving the consumers’ experience.”

Fragile Markets Need Sturdy Security
You’ve chosen to work in a gray area. You sell products that contain cannabis or cannabis-adjacent substances as well as accessories that can be used to consume it. And while that area has become less gray—you can see rays of sunlight peeking through—the skies are still cloudy. THC remains a Schedule 1 substance, even as medical marijuana has migrated to Schedule 3.

What Retailers Wish They Knew When They Opened Their First Shop

Whether you’ve been in the cannabis space for mere months or multiple decades, you’ve likely run into drawn-out approval processes, supply chain headaches, or constantly changing regulation that makes compliance challenging, not to mention the other micro and macroeconomic factors that plague all small business owners.

Hawaiian Punch: One man’s fight to keep hemp legal
The officials came for Lance Alyas once before. In 2023, they caught him in a sting, seized his merchandise, and tossed him in jail. But just seven days later, after he invoked Hawaii's version of a Freedom of Information Act request, the whole case fell apart. Alyas was released without bail, allowed to simply walk out the door. Now, he’s advocating for freedom from Hawaii’s state officials once again. Only this time, it’s not just his own freedom. As the owner of Oahu’s top-rated smoke shops, he’s fighting for everyone’s right to sell hemp products in the Aloha State.

Sula Benet and the Ancient History of Cannabis
Born Sara Benetowa in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Sula Benet may not be an immediately recognizable name in cannabis spaces today, but she should be. While she primarily studied Polish folk customs, Benet became known for her graduate thesis at the University of Warsaw, titled Hashish in Folk Customs and Beliefs. In the paper, she claims that the plant kaneh bosm—which is referenced throughout the Old Testament and Torah and often translated as “calamus”—actually refers to hemp. Benet’s theory remains both significant and highly controversial today, especially as various religious and evangelical groups continue to demonize the plant.

How North Carolina Could Save Us All
If the United States were ever a country based on strict adherence to the law, those days are long past. The modern game lies in devising methods to circumvent laws. It’s how the rich avoid taxes, the powerful avoid jail, and industries of all kinds bypass regulations. The paradox is that, despite its ubiquity, it’s not easy to stay beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. Well-moneyed, influential organizations still sometimes misjudge the political and legal playing field and have to pay up. The Sacklers (the family behind Purdue Pharma) eventually were bankrupted by the courts for their role in the opioid epidemic, and officials hit Meta with a $5 billion fine over privacy concerns.

I went home and told my girlfriend, who, after Googling the name of the business I bought it from, told me that, yes, it was technically weed. But it was CBD. She started laughing, telling me I had been ripped off.
