(OTC Pink: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with bi-coastal processing centers, including the 85,000 square foot multipurpose industrial hemp processing facility on 9 acres in Spring Hope, NC, a 55,000 square foot state of the art local processing center in White City, Oregon, a 500 acre hemp growing Veteran Village Kins Community in Golden Valley, Arizona, two model \"Small Family Hemp Farms\" in North Carolina and Arizona, a hemp pre-roll blending manufacturing facility in Las Vegas, NV, a 5,000 square-foot retail store (The King of Hemp Store™) in Kingman, Arizona and recently surpassed over $1 million in sales of their pre-98 OG Bubba Kush buds, announced that the Company applauds recent research on how cannabinoids play a key role in PTSD and 'fear extinction'.Hemp Inc. logoTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/5538/57284_5834a64604d3fa39_logo_lg.jpgThe new study from researchers at Leiden University in the Netherlands explores anandamide, a cannabinoid produced naturally by the human body, and its role in fear extinction. The researchers pioneered a technique that inhibits anandamide production in the brain. The team, led by Mario van der Stelt, identified a chemical that reduces the production of anandamide by inhibiting the production of one of the enzymes that triggers its production, fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH). Van der Stelt's team then examined what would happen if they reduced the amount of anandamide produced by the brain instead of reducing fatty acid amide hydrolase. While doing so did not block production of anandamide completely, they could test what role the endocannabinoid plays. The study could have major implications for the use of cannabis in treating PTSD. Millions of military veterans and other trauma survivors already use medical cannabis to manage PTSD, but scientists are still exploring the mechanisms involved in the healing process. Understanding anandamide's role will provide more insight into why cannabis and its ability to mimic the effects of anandamide could help PTSD patients.\"Research like this brings us one step closer to discovering the plant's potential for healing. ...
